UNEXPECTED APPEALING INTERNET DATING

[pontisbright]

Dear Facebook,




Do not objectify him, people.

(But srsly, facebook, if you could actually arrange that, y'know...?)

kisses,
Me

Bloody hell, Bonekickers is shocking. It takes a special effort to make telly that badly. I'm vaguely reminded of Strange, which was another case of the wrong people being given a nice budget and a passable idea and pissing it up the wall, but at least they were occasionally amusing about it. *sighs*

That would be Jensen Ackles, aka Dean 'slutty demon hunter' Winchester of Supernatural. Who very probably doesn't know some dodgy modelling shot of him is now being used to amuse the crap out of me promote a dating agency.

It's lucky he's cute in Time-Flight, really. :)

Bonekickers...oh, not even 'so bad it's good', sorry...

oic. I've heard that name before.

Yes, Time Flight was very amusing. I was surprised to find myself hoping Nyssa was dying at one point.

Oh, I did like the bit where I was going *oooh I recognise that Chinesey baddie guy, I know that voice, who is it?* and my Doctor refused to answer, and then after two whole episodes of that he pulled his face off and he was Anthony Ainley and I NEVER GUESSED, even though exactly the same thing happened in Castrovalva and in... whatever that other one was where I didn't recognise him either.

Oh, bless you. I would mock but I did totally get suckered by Castrovalva when I first rewatched it as a grown-up, despite the fact I knew damn well he was in it. Though if you didn't recognise Sir Gilles Estram in King's Demons then I shall point and laugh :P

Nyssa's traumatic assault by some bubble bath is one of her finest moments. Sadly.

I haven't seen King's Demons. I shall keep my eyes open when I do though.

The bubble bath was great.

I...'m not sure I did recognise him in TKD.

Castrovalva, though - it took a few watchings for me to assure myself that, yes, that was the same actor throughout, and they hadn't actually got some other dude in for the Portreeve.

To be fair, I didn't really recognise him. The guy in that photo looks a bit foxy. Jensen Ackles generally doesn't do it for me at all.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

I want him to not do it for me at all, because he's such a fucking pretty boy. But, you know, pretty boys are...pretty. And Dean has all that manpain: I am a complete ho for manpain.

[rhube.livejournal.com]

Ah, see, I'm not into Dean's Man Pain, but I'm totally into Sam's Man Pain. Bring on the angst, y'all!

Pretty boys are pretty, it is true.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Sam's manpain bores me to tears, alas (though I like his snark). Which is odd, as generally in these sorts of chalk 'n' cheese guy partnerships, I tend to warm more to the introspective thoughtful moralising one rather than the meathead.

That said, when it comes down to it Sam is Luke Skywalker and Dean is Han Solo. And Han Solo pwns all things. :)

[rhube.livejournal.com]

Nah, see. I like and totally fancy Han Solo. Dean, not so much. He also has a very pointy chin - not that there's anything wrong with that, but it distracts me, and I sit there thinking: your chin, it is pointy (I have no idea why). So physically, I find him unattractive, and mentally, well, I spent most of season one really not liking him (I thought he was gonna turn out to be the bad guy in the first ep) - he's all the worst sorts of older sibling that my sister also embodies. I warmed to him in seasons two and three, but I think I'd still want to punch him if I knew him, even though I now sympathise with his character and quite like him as such. For these reasons, fancying Dean just doesn't come into it for me.

Sam, on the other hand - man, that is totally hitting the right angst buttons for me. And he has good hair (hair is important to me - Five's hair FTW!). And he's so frikkin' tall. I dunno what it is about tall men and me. Experience tells me it's nothing but awkward as far as the practicalities are concerned. But in the abstract... yeah, I'll have me some of that 6ft 4/5, kthxby.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

This cracks me up so much, because honestly the two least appealing things to me about Sam are his hilarious hair and his absurd physique. So you are welcome to him, and I will be over here with the apparently pointy chinned one.

Maybe my Deanlove stems a little from when I started watching: mid-S2, then I skipped back to end of S1/start S2, then watched from the start - so I was already sold on him being dorky and mockable as well as 'the badass'. But am familiar with applying actual!family to television: much of my ambivalence to Tegan stems from childhood viewing and her seeming like my sister. *shrugs*
