Not only did The Office make me cry tonight (PAM. MICHAEL. HEAAAART.), but then I turned around and watched the pilot of The Black Donnellys. Yes, safe to say, I LOVED IT. It's dark and intense and just GUH. A part of me keeps wondering just what this would look like on HBO, but then it would probably just be a sort of Sopranos rip-off, I guess. For network television, this is pretty hardcore. And Jonathan Tucker, who plays Tommy Donnelly, already owns my heart from his SVU episode, so it didn't take much for me to fall for him again. Okay, so the ending's slightly Godfather-ish, but the best part?

THE CROSSOVER POSSIBILITIES.

Is it wrong that I'm already forming SVU/Oz/Black Donnellys x-overs in my head from one episode? Except for the fact that Kirk Acevedo is now Italian instead of Latino (!), the possibilities are endless. I can already see flashbacks to O'Reily and Cyril, the slightly older kids in the neighborhood, roughing up Jimmy and Kevin and the rest and making them do their dirty shit. And then, present day, an Irish SVU detective with a Catholic guilt streak ends up investigating a rape case that leads him to questioning one Tommy Donnelly, who's covering for his brother Sean, who got too wasted one night and took things too far with his latest girl.

*flails* IT'S SO EXCITING. \o/

Yes to everything. And, wait, they made Miguelito Italian? I think I'd die of shock if anyone ever wrote him with his actual Chinese-Puerto Rican ethnicity.

LOL, I KNOW!! But it's fun to hear him talk without that little Miguel-rasp he always had, if that makes sense. ;D He's a badass mother, and I LOVE HIM.

That totally makes sense. And as much as I adore Alvarez, it's nice to see him playing someone whose life isn't being perpetually destroyed.

Oh. I meant to watch that tonight too. I'll have to keep my eye out for the pilot rerun. I'm sure they will...

The Office though. I definitely did not miss that. Ugh. Most emotional episode for me since the S2 finale. Just guh. I wanted to cry like, three times at least D:

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Oh, the pilot didn't actually air I just watched my torrent. >.>

I think it was Michael simply looking at the painting and saying something like, "And we sell paper," and looking so...determined. MY HEART BROKE.

Erm, the "real" pilot airs Feb. 26! :D

So good, right? Like SO. GOOD. Tommy Donnelly is totally my Black Irish emo mobster boyfriend.

(I got weepy at The Office too)

Tommy Donnelly's from Mass.! The actor, I mean. This is why I approve. Well, I actually really liked the pilot, and plan to add Tommy to my list of beloved Gryffindorrific characters, but still. XD I don't really think it's as dark as you seem to, but I def. agree on the Godfatherly ending. Which is a very good thing, from my POV.

Bla bla blaahhh Romecakes.

I don't think it's as dark as some shows, certainly, but as far as network TV's concerned, I think it's pretty brooding. What other network show that isn't a procedural has a multiple homicide shot all arty-like? :DD

As is John Krasinski, right? Hot single guys DO exist! Er, if they are, in fact, single. Which they probs aren't. So never mind. >.>

I like that nice little circle you did all by yourself. XD

I'll watch The Black Donnellys when it premieres next week (and NBC totally bumped the slowly dying Studio 60 to put it in the prime post-Heroes slot) but I thought you'd like to make some icons.

Go to this journal right over here (http://community.livejournal.com/toxic_cloud/9027.html) and you'll find a gallery of over 2,000 caps from the pilot.

You? Are AWESOME.

Are you online?

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

I loved that pilot. I hope the rest of the show is just like that AND that people watch it.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

The pilot owned. I really, REALLY hope the rest of the show lives up to its potential. *crosses fingers*
