top gear winter slashy olympics + TGA
Just watched the Top Gear Winter Olympics episode and OMG WHY HAD I NOT WATCHED THIS BEFORE IT IS THE SLASHIEST MOST HILARIOUS THING EVER!!!!1! SO MUCH LOVE RIGHT NOW. WARM AND HAPPY ON THE INSIDE. HOW COULD I FORGET JUST HOW AWESOME THIS SHOW CAN BE??! It makes up for the disappointing ... everything of Top Gear Australia.
I was even kinda shipping James/Jeremy which just feels wrong inside. For me. OMG but they were so fucking IN LOVE at that point in time OMG. Epic. I wanted to hug James ... at this point... oh look, I'm just gonna have to do a spontaneous picspam...
aw, just lookit him!
so much love. (at this point, in my head, Jessie Rust-Bucket steps in and sweeps him away.)
J/J, right?
they...
just...
...can't stop!
STOP BEING SO IN LOVE JEREMY AND JAMES! Richard and I object!
James! Eee! <3
They're at it again.
Jeremy's coat is... a woman's coat, right?
OT3 back again!
James contemplating the threesome Richard and Jeremy are offering
And to make the Clarkson/Hammond shippers happy!
I did quite like that car. Hmm. o_O wft, self?
*g*
at the cutting edge of cocking about
surely I'm not the only one who finds this image somewhat erotic?
and just because... james + steampunk = epic win.
how did that get in there??!
(TG screencaps c/o this site.)
A quick round-up of Top Gear Australia - the first episode. I could warm to not!Richard. He's cute. He has personality and opinions of his own. Not!Jezza is ... whatever. I didn't care for him. The main problem was that not!James really was not James. And they were trying to push him into a James shaped hole, but it wasn't working. They also put him in a shark-cage/car, but unfortunately the sharks didn't eat him. He has a moustache. The sharks obviously have better taste.
Anyway, I'm willing to see if it warms up and gets better. Maybe they'll relax into it. You have to remember the early days of TG were pretty crap and they had to ditch Jason and perfect the team with James before it got really good. The guest Vince Colosimo had the most personality and screen presence - they should have got him as a presenter.
I also have some minor problems with it:
a) the set looks IDENTICAL to the UK TG one.
b) I can't remember the presenters' names (Stevo, Wazza, and Bazza perhaps?).
c) they are all similar heights and thus are not a matching babushka set as per the ORIGINAL TG (it's just not right!)
d) it seems to THINK IT'S A BLOODY CAR SHOW!! WFT?! Doesn't it know I don't watch it for the cars???!?! I don't care for the cars. For fucks sake. It's not meant to be about cars.
There were numerous letters into the TV guide with today's paper saying how it seems to be just a clone of UK TG. Which is fair enough. They should try being a little bit original. And just having Australian accents and larking about in various different Australian landscapes doesn't really cut it. Aside from looking like a car show, it also looked like one big ad for tourism Australia.
Did anyone else watch it? Your thoughts? Or non-Aussies, want to, er, leave a pic of James in the comments?!? Or something else. I don't know. I'm tired. I'ma going to bed nao. G'night my lovelies. (PS. Today I saw 8 ducklings in the drain creek nearby! Sweeeeeet! I love spring!)
