"Her dad's a bastard." "And our mother's a tree, we all got problems"

Firstly: Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canucks!

Anyone here a fan of The Almighty Johnsons? I want to fangirl about it but no one that I know if watches it! *sad panda* I've been doing a bit of a spam over on my Tumblr with it.

If anyone is interested in what the show is about I made this Tumblr graphic that pretty much sums everything up:



I was honestly surprised how much I loved the show and I thought it was hilarious. Anything involving dysfunctional brothers as reincarnated Norse gods I am so there for. The guy who plays Axl is adorable and hilarious and of course it has Dean O'Gorman in it (naked, I may add) who I've had a crush on since I was about 15. :D I have the first season and if anyone is interested I could provide links a descriptive play by play of the first episode.

I've been wanting to make a proper update for a little while, but I'm so sick at the moment. I've been submersing myself in watching Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy inverviews for X:FC since they crack me up. James actually saying (jokingly) he had sex with Fassy four times was like something out of a fanfic come true.

.... Tell me more about this show... It sounds like something I would love to watch...

[identity profile] leggyslove.livejournal.com 2011-07-02 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you would love it. Here's the 'about the show' from the official site:

THE ALMIGHTY JOHNSONS is a comedy-drama series about four brothers who just happen to be descended from Norse Gods. Each of the Johnson boys has his own godlike power; it’s just that their powers aren’t all that powerful.

The Johnsons are typical Kiwi blokes who don’t much like to stand out from the crowd. And everyday gods have everyday struggles - striving to love stroppy women, overcoming sibling rivalry and fulfilling your God-like destiny, all while still finding the time to enjoy a few beers with your mates.


What isn't mentioned there is that one of the brothers has to go on a type of 'quest' otherwise all of the others will die. But lots of hilarity and other things ensue as well. Plus some of the other gods and goddesses are just batshit crazy and awesome to watch.

Well, I am sure I would like to watch it but I have to get through 6 seasons of Supernatural first!

[identity profile] leggyslove.livejournal.com 2011-07-02 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! That's quite alright. The first season is only 10 episodes, so whenever you want to start it let me know. :)

[identity profile] hideincarnate.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well I don't mind downloading it now, just need to find a download/torrent with all 10 episodes in it. XD;

HOW IS THIS A REAL CREATURE? HOW. IT IS TOO ADORABLE TO BE REAL.

They obviously created this in some kind of lab. BECAUSE THAT CANNOT BE REAL.

I've never heard of this show! But now I wanna watch eeet. :c

[identity profile] leggyslove.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Did I send you the links via email? I'm so far gone with feeling sick and managing 2 and a half hours sleep and going into work that I'm confused.

I still haven't had a chance to watch Jane Eyre/see this man in anything, and yet I WANT HIM. WHAT IS THIS. HOW HE SO.

I told ya, it's the power of the Fassbender. You cannot get away from him in any way, shape or form.
