Warning: Flail of the CAPSLOCK Variety Beneath

[twasadark]

Okay, it could be that I've had too much caffeine today, or it could be that I've been stunned by the utter and complete gorgeousness of Crusoe and his sidekick Friday from the premiere of the new series CRUSOE (NBC, Friday evenings). Witness my reaction to the show, bulleted to draw your attention to the important points. And by the way, these are somewhat spoilery although truth be told you won't be watching for the plot if you're anything like me. I'll put these under a cut:

• dsfdfesioeuiteu8dfvkjv;kne;ireu8rg;jnnfreuioerfkbnweitjeiotqweorn (and assorted other keyboard smashes of GLEE and LUST)
• The guy who plays Robinson Crusoe's real name is Philip WINCHESTER. Glory be, but it's a sign from on high that I may like this show 1/10th as much as I love Supernatural. And that means that I may actually sit through the God-awful commercials to watch the show when it airs instead of just DVRing it.
• The guy who plays Robinson Crusoe is a hottie who looks like Sean Bean (who plays his father in the show!!) and we get to see his NEKKID WELL-MUSCLED chest. Yes, me likes this very very much.
• The guy who plays Friday is a hottie with an African accent and perfect skin and gorgeous lips. See above sentiment.
• There is a scene in which: FRIDAY AND CRUSOE ARE IN A POOL OF WATER ALL DRIPPING AND BREATHING HARD AND CLUTCHING AT ONE ANOTHER AND GOD SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE ME A SCREENCAP OF THIS SO I CAN JUST SIT AT MY COMPUTER AND LOOK AT THAT IMAGE ALL FRICKIN DAY.

• In search of the above referenced screencap I naturally went to LJ to find the show's comm. Gasp! There wasn't one yet. Well, now there is because I started it:

Please join and pimp it out if you have even the slightest interest in it. Do it for the GORGEOUS MEN, PEOPLE. They clearly need our undying adoration support.

More episode commentary:

Anyhow, it's not what you would call intellectually stimulating TV - it's more like Saturday morning old Tarzan-type adventure movies, but I found it enjoyable and will definitely be watching more. I do, however, have to address one glaring plot problem:

If Crusoe is brilliant enough to construct elevators and Ewok-type tree abodes and circley bicycle bridge thingies then why the hell can't he build a BOAT and sail off the frickin island????

More blathering to come. But I'll probably post that on the comm itself.

I've got this sitting on my DVR, but haven't watched it yet. I've seen it pegged for early cancellation so often I'm kind of loath to possibly get attached. But I should probably check it out, eh?

I thought about watching it, but then I remembered being forced to read the book in college, and thought about to possibility of it failing REALLY badly at race issues and making me a sad slash fangirl.

But then the local newspaper gave it a VERY bad review that specifically referenced that it was annoyingly homoerotic, so I'm slightly interested.

OMG, your new emo-SPN background is the WIN(chester). HARHARHARHAR! Oh YAY! Yet another show I must watch instead of writing the thirty trillion fics I'm supposed to be writing!

And WOOOOOOOOOOOOO for SCC!!!! *cancels bombing of Fox*

ADSKIJDSIDNHKL!! OMG! GIRL, YOU ROCK!! I SHALL BE JOINING YOUR COMMUNITY! XD

*calms down, breathes*

If Crusoe is brilliant enough to construct elevators and Ewok-type tree abodes and circley bicycle bridge thingies then why the hell can't he build a BOAT and sail off the frickin island????

The same could be said about the professor on Gilligan's Island. Basically this is one series where you've just got to put all rational thinking aside, and enjoy it for what it is.

Liek teh purdy bois and their slashable slashiness. *_*

And before you ask, no... I haven't smoked anything. This series just gets me this excited for some reason. XD

Before you freak out and think it's going to get cancelled, it had decent numbers, not awesome and not bad, so I'd say it's got about the same shot as everything else on Friday night.

Meanwhile, Philip Winchester could cut glass with his abs. The show also likes to make a point of that. And there's enough hoyay to knock down a moose. I don't think that part was intentional.

I own no tv so I haven't even heard of this show.
*made of fail*
I SUCK BOBO!
AND HIS MONKEY!

Mebbe I'll surfthechannel.com it and see if I likes it :D

Hey there! I was just poking around your new community and saw your screen cap request. I don't know if you got it yet, but just in case!



Sadly, it's not all that clear, but hey! Pretty!

Thanks for starting the community. Let's hope more people are pulled in. :)

Dude, that show is so slashy it's practically canon. Crusoe even tells Friday that there'll never be another woman for him, but FRIDAY saved his life and he's his "brother". If memory serves, there was even the uber-sexy forehead press between "brothers". Yep, they're totally having sex.
