Arrr!
Watched the premiere of Crusoe tonight. It wasn't bad. Pretty scenery, pretty people, relatively interesting plot, decent writing, some good lines. Relatively cheesy CGI at times, flashback style got a bit annoying, and somewhat predictable, but overall, it was pretty decent.
It helps that I like the gadgetry aspect and there were some very snerk-worthy lines. Plus, they gave enough of the background story to establish the basics, but created enough questions to pique my interest without making it feel like "oooh, lookit what we're not telling you so you'll stick around and be all shocked when we reveal it!" It didn't take itself too seriously, which is another plus. And I'm sure there are hundreds of Crusoe/Friday fics already flooding in.
I think it'll be one of those where I won't be upset if I miss it, but I'll make sure to grab a torrent and catch up at some point.
In other news, I'm *really* glad it's Friday. And I'm going to bed now.
