Damn you, Knight Rider luring me in with hot lesbian cops! *shakes fist*

[fembuck]

So, I've only seen 10 minutes of Knight Rider and I'm declaring it awesome! Now keep in mind I'm not declaring it awesome because it's a good show ... granted it's only been ten minutes but I think it's safe to say it's no Battlestar Galactica. It may be a fun show (ala Fastlane, I'm getting a Fastlane-ish vibe) but again it's too early to tell.

My Declaration of Awesome comes totally from the fact that in the the first ten minutes the show had Sydney Tamiia Poitier: (visual reference below)


Oh hai, Jungle Julia

In a bikini under a beach shower, and then had her walking into her apartment where a naked girl was in bed waiting for her.

Sydney Tamiia Poitier as a lesbian cop who surfs = me watching this movie all the way through, and the show (if it ever makes it air) because I'm shallow like that and I'm not embarrassed to admit it! 

Mmm, 5 feet 10 inches of gorgeous ass-kicking, girl-kissing chocolatey goodness.  Niiiiiice, very niiiiice.

Also, chicks clipping police badges onto their pants is never not hot.  Of course I think I'm basing this statement  solely on Det. Olivia Benson, Det. Dani Reese and now Agent Carrie Rivai but still ... never not hot!

Question:  Was it just me or did the actress that played Sarah look a lot like Olivia Wilde in some shots?  I know it wasn't Olivia Wilde, but she looked enough like her in quite a few shots to make me pine for Olivia.  *sigh ... drool*  Olivia Wilde...

Edited because it is not awesome or Fastlane!fun, it's kind of awful.  The good things I can say are:

1.  Sydney Tamiia Poitier is ridiculously good looking.
2.  She is even hotter with a gun.
3.  The theme song is good.

Also, it was nice to see Dr. Leah Brahms on my screen again.  I love Dr. Brahms, and if I may say so Susan Gibney is aging beautifully.  Seriously, she is one hot lady of a certain age. *nods*

OMG OMG OMG! I'm watching it too right now! "In a bikini under a beach shower, and then had her walking into her apartment where a naked girl was in bed waiting for her. " Bahahaa... Totally loved that scene.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Bahahaa... Totally loved that scene.

Best scene of the movie.

*sigh* The rest of the movie was just aiight though. Still, I kind of hope it'll be picked up so that I can see Agent Rivai every week *rowwwwr*

SARAH SHAHI!!! I loves me some Det. Reese *crosses fingers for Life to come back*.

*slaps head* How could I forget the hotness that is Det. Dani Reese? Right you are, right you are. She is one Hot Cop. *goes to update the list*

where does one view this? though, embarrassingly, I remember the slightly lispy, hard-bodied Justin Bruening from All My Children-

also, just so you know. I wanted to vainly (?) attempt to intrigue you with the knowledge that I am in the midst of a real Waldsen epic that may in fact garner an NC-17 rating.

So, other than that. Peace be with you and catch you on the flip-side.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

It just aired on NBC, so I'd imagine that torrents of it will be up in a couple of hours.

Attempt successful! *is jittering with excitement* Can. Not. Wait.

[gespawcho.livejournal.com]

Ah. thanks! And, out of curiosity, who is STP's girlfriend? A no-name model turned actress? or anybody recognizable...

and, score!

it's gonna be hot. just saying.

and, Lena Headey!

just felt like sayin her name.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

And, out of curiosity, who is STP's girlfriend? A no-name model turned actress? or anybody recognizable...

It was just a generically pretty no name actress. The character was actually a one-night stand, and we saw a we minutes of the morning after.

Hopefully if the show gets picked up, she'll get an actual girlfriend/female love interest. In fact, if the show gets picked up here's hoping she's an actual lesbian because television has burned me one too many times with the female bisexual. So I'm hoping that word never pops up (cause if it does you know she'll be fighting with Sarah over Mike and that would make me cry)

it's gonna be hot. just saying.

It's hot. With STP in the scene it couldn't not be hot (ah, damn you double negatives and your sexy allure)

and, Lena Headey! just felt like sayin her name.

And how. I think conversations with many people would be more fun if they just randomly added "Lena Headey" in. "So, yesterday I went to Haikem Optical because I wanted to order some contacts for my vacation and Lena Headey." Yeah, that's a conversation I would pay attention to.

[ashirashadow.livejournal.com]

Um. . .well you've convinced me. :D

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

YAY! Shallow!viewers unite!

Seriously, you will not be disappointed by the pretty that is STP or the awesomeness of her character having hot chicks just laying around her lovely beach front home. T

he rest of the show will probably drive you to drink, though. I got through the parts when STP wasn't on screen with Strongbow and my Nintendo DS. Just sayin' ;)

[ashirashadow.livejournal.com]

Word! We need to throw a party!

Luckily my bestest mate bought me a PSP for XMas with 4 games. I guess I will be beating some. :)

Have I mentioned that I love your summeries and comments on shows? I think they're fantastic and you're so funny. :) I think you should know.

[escritoireazul.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I have to watch it. Have to, have to, have to. Because even if it is kind of awful, STP with a gun is delicious.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Because even if it is kind of awful, STP with a gun is delicious.

This is my philosophy right here. As horrible as it is, I cannot resist STP with a gun (or in a bikini on the beach ... or standing around just existing because she's that awesome).

Be prepared to want to bang your head against a solid object whenever she's not on screen though.

[escritoireazul.livejournal.com]

It will be awhile, unfortunately, before I can watch it and enjoy desire to bang my head against a wall the beauty that is STP. This whole no cable thing is kind of frustrating suddenly.

[hivesix.livejournal.com]

Ahhh *wants KR TV-movie nao!!* I fully didn't know there were hot lesbian cops!! More incentive for me to get my grubby lil mitts on it!! Exclamation mark!!1one

I fully agree with the random Lena Headey name-dropping in convos btw. Lena Headey! Also, Olivia Wilde! (And while I'm at it, Blake Lively! Leighton Meester! *insert names of various awesome people here!*)

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

lol. Yeah, I had no idea either. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. There's just something about a hot lady clipping on a badge when another hot lady is laying around naked in her bed that appeals to me, lol.

Also, Olivia Wilde! (And while I'm at it, Blake Lively! Leighton Meester! *insert names of various awesome people here!*)

Yes. *nods heartily* I could not agree more. Lena Headey.

[sapphire-magick.livejournal.com]

That picture has totally persuaded me to go torrent it. So. Totally downloading. It. NOW.

*fans self* Hotness, here I comeeeeeeee!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

That picture has totally persuaded me to go torrent it.

*feels justified in spending oodles of time looking at various pictures of STP*

Awesome!

Trust me, STP is the sex, a tall refreshing glass of chocolate milk that lady is. The rest of the show is not good though. It's extremely not good. Val Kilmer was pretty good as the voice of KITT but other than that and STP, it's stink central.

[trancer21.livejournal.com]

Well.. shit. I'd had absolutely ZERO interest in watching this, interest which dropped even lower when I read that Justin Bruenning was cast as the lead. Dude, wasn't watching him stink up All My Children for five years punishment enough?

Then you had to go and say those six magic words - Sidney Tamiia Poitier and lesbian cop! And I'm like '*fuck* now I GOTTA watch it'. And, yes, it is kinda awful and Sidney is the best thing who's not onscreen enough and, wow, I guess when they came up with the budget for this they couldn't afford any charisma whatsoever for *both* their leads!! And if I'm gonna watch a two-hour car commercial the least they could do is center it around Kate Walsh or something.

Maybe if this show doesn't get picked up they could just move Poitier's character over to Chuck where she can make sweet, sweet love to Sarah.. and then Ellie.. and then both of them at the same time!

Oh.. Lena Headey!

Mawhahahahahahahaha ... ... ... ha! I am an evil genius of GoGA. Always alerting people to hot chicks making out with other chicks and ... ... hey, wait a minute! What's the problem here? I don't understaaaaaaaaaaaand! ;)

I guess when they came up with the budget for this they couldn't afford any charisma whatsoever for *both* their leads!!

LOL! OMG, I know! The two leads are terrible. I was talking to my mom about the show afterwards and she was like "I wanted to throttle [Sarah] from the moment she first appeared on screen". You couldn't have a show based around to duller actors.

And if I'm gonna watch a two-hour car commercial the least they could do is center it around Kate Walsh or something.

Or Lena Headey, you know just because it's been about five seconds since I've said her name.

Maybe if this show doesn't get picked up they could just move Poitier's character over to Chuck where she can make sweet, sweet love to Sarah.. and then Ellie.. and then both of them at the same time!

Oh, Lena Headey I would love to see STP on a good show, where there are other likable and hot female characters to slash her with. *nods* Oh, such a sweet dream

[amluv.livejournal.com]

dude, i forgot this was coming on...but i did program the DVR for the "encore" airing...i think this trumps the hoff eating a cheeseburger whilst drunk off his ass...

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

i think this trumps the hoff eating a cheeseburger whilst drunk off his ass...

I was either living under a rock when this happened or have repressed all memory of it. I keep on hearing people joking about the Hoff eating Cheeseburgers or going to Wendy's but I have no idea where it came from. Damn you brain! *pokes with a q-tip* You always fail me!

Anyway, have lots of alcohol on hand. Trust me you'll need it. (and besides, alcohol is just fun ... in modera ... oh I can't even finish that! Alcohol is fun!)

[alexriley.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I had to add that the person who played Sarah did look like Olivia Wilde. I was sitting there and I went into ultra gush mode.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I was beginning to think that it was just me. If the character had actually been played by Olivia Wilde the pilot would have been a hell of a lot more entertaining (and slashing Carrie and Sarah would be so much hotter ... as it is right now STP is pretty much carrying the hotness all on her own)

son of a bitch.. I missed hot lesbian cop goodness for Dexter? dexter was good but..

so sydney tam... yeah I forgot how to spell her name already, but jungle julia was in that? I'm gonna have to bitchslap my frend who watched that and didn't alert me to the femslashy goodness.... *shakes head*

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

son of a bitch.. I missed hot lesbian cop goodness for Dexter? dexter was good but..

Well, Dexter is about 1000x better than Knight Rider, so I think that you actually made the correct viewing decision. The 30 seconds of Les!yay were the only parts of the show worth watching.

so sydney tam... yeah I forgot how to spell her name already, but jungle julia was in that?

Word. Jungle Julia, in a bikini, having one night stands with chicks and with a gun! Jungle Julia was the only thing that made the 2 hours tolerable.

I'm gonna have to bitchslap my frend who watched that and didn't alert me to the femslashy goodness.... *shakes head*

I think that's a perfect reasonable course of action! Good luck!

[billy-rose.livejournal.com]

hm..
then that means.. I did something right for once
YAY! *happy dance*

Okay, I'll admit it, you totally drew me in with the promise of shallowness that is hot lady cop and naked bed companion. The best thirty seconds of the entire show. Not that that's saying much, as the rest was pretty mediocre.

I know it's Knight Rider and I've seen enough of the original to not expect much, but having the FBI agent stay behind to watch the dirt, while the two civilians chased after the bad guys, was just plain stupid. Actually, it was beyond stupid. Plus, whoever directed the baddies outside the motel room doors bit, needs to go back to film school.

But, I am shallow enough to admit that I could have forgiven all this if they'd added some love triangle tension and revealed that dopey/arrogant-guy came back that summer and found the daughter cavorting with a pre-FBI hot-girl and that's why he ran off.

[ralst.livejournal.com]

That was me... incognito for some strange reason.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

The best thirty seconds of the entire show. Not that that's saying much, as the rest was pretty mediocre.

So true. That scene was what kept me watching for the rest of the movie. If it wasn't there I would have turned it off about 15 minutes in and never looked back. Such is the power of STP as a lesbian FBI agent goddess.

but having the FBI agent stay behind to watch the dirt, while the two civilians chased after the bad guys, was just plain stupid.

Yeah, but if they had the FBI agent go after the bad guys instead of the civilians we never would have gotten to see how freaking cool and badass and manly and awesome Mike Traceur (or whatever ridiuclous way they spelled it) is! He's so awesome, he can do everything ... omg a talking car I want to have his babies!

*sigh*

STP is totally just going to be hanging around the jet plane most of the time, and maybe will get to question people sometimes and fill out paper work. Let's hope there's lots of her flirting with Sarah while they're hanging out in the plane.

I could have forgiven all this if they'd added some love triangle tension and revealed that dopey/arrogant-guy came back that summer and found the daughter cavorting with a pre-FBI hot-girl and that's why he ran off.

I'm totally gonna imagine that's what happened now. Nothing the show does in the future will convince me otherwise. I think I'm going to spend much of this shows run (if it ever makes it to series) ignoring things that happened on screen and making up my own non-sucky versions of things. (ex. STP said in an interview that they might change her character from lesbian to bi if the show makes it to series to open up more possibilities - which we know means Carrie fighting over Mike with Sarah - and if this happens I will promptly ignoring it - after I have finished screaming, clawing out my eyes, and cursing NBC with the strongest language in my vocabulary)

. . . if I asked REEEEAL nicely, would there be a possible PICSPAM of said hot lady cop in the making? Pleeease? ::offers you sexy psychiatrist girlkissing::
