We're having a great time! ...though possibly not for quite the intended reasons.

truepenny observed that the show is actually not too bad (though still deeply silly) if one looks at it as pure fantasy (complete with sexy girl pirate!). It's the ostensible relationship to Robinson Crusoe that renders the enterprise utterly baffling.

With all the crack shows coming out right now there may come a time where we have to search for the straight subtext.

[heresluck]

It occurred to me briefly that my perceptions might be colored by the fact that Merlin, AKA Apparently The Gayest Show Ever, has been discussed all over LJ of late. Then I looked back at the screen and realized that no, it's pretty much all right there.

[deathisyourart]

With any luck the next generation of shows will just give us leading gay characters, but not in the sense that they are making a statement, or a show aimed at the gay community (L Word/QAF), but just your average cop/family/lawyer/doctor show where the lead is gay and that isn't an issue.

That icon STILL makes me laugh! :D

I saw an ep over Thanksgiving. My friend kept saying, "well, they're pretty...."

I think Friday might be Indy. Crusoe is the blonde chick from Temple of Doom.

They are indeed pretty. As is the scenery! And there are some enjoyable moments; I was actually quite charmed by the Sexy Girl Pirate. I'm just not sure why they decided to slap the name "Crusoe" on it.

. . . MUST PLAY.

I am already fangirling this show to DEATH, and adding in a drinking game to the mix? EXCELLENT!

[heresluck]

I cannot honestly describe myself as a fan of the show, but I am thus far amused by its attempts to update and rehabilitate the racism and sexism of the original, not least because said attempts underscore the extent to which without the racism, the sexism, and the protestant agenda, there's not much of the original left besides "hey, look, it's a couple of dudes on an island."

I kept telling my husband about the very peculiar 70s reworking, Man Friday, which I had the dubious pleasure of watching at age eight on a plane.

I still remember Peter O'Toole, as Crusoe, tutoring Friday in the concept of property by screaming "MINE!" and blasting away with his musket. I've read there was also a scene where Friday propositions Crusoe, but either I was too clueless to get it at the time or the airline censored it.
