Mel, I too am sad about the absense of Helo's awesomeness in the later seasons.

Finding the right character photos was pretty much why this post took me so long to write. It was probably my favorite blog post ever. I should do more things in the same vein.

I find it interesting that all the boys responded with lists of guys. Maybe I should do a list of girls too.

No judgment intended! I was just surprised, really.
It seemed like BSG totally forgot about Helo after the first/second season or so! He was such a main character in the beginning, but then just faded into the background when other characters started getting more screentime. Then again, we haven't finished it, so maybe he has more of a role to play in the ending.

I really like the pictures you used, btw! They are all very handsome :) I love the tie that #25 is wearing. Ugly Betty is another show I've always meant to check out but haven't.

This list is awesome! It was so much fun to read....

2009-09-27T21:42:00.241-07:00

This list is awesome! It was so much fun to read. I kept going "Yeah! That guy is totally awesome!" I love the characters that don't usually get a lot of attention, like Desmond Hume from Lost and Helo from Battlestar.

David Tennant is definitely in my top 5, as well as Mal. I would probably have Picard and Daniel Jackson (Stargate SG-1) in there somewhere. Oh and G'Kar and John Sherridan from Babylon 5.

Hmmm...I should make a TV girlfriends list now. I have some good ones.

Great post babe, I can tell you put a ton of work into this. :-D

Dude, this is not your list. What happened to judgement free zone? I like helo and I was never as into mulder as you were.

2009-09-27T16:21:51.811-07:00

Fun post! :D

But Helo made it higher up on the list than Mulder??!!! Helo? Really?

I haven't seen Bones or Castle, but I'd like to check them out!

Also, Sam is adorable. He doesn't get nearly enough page time in the novels! He was my original favorite when I read the first book, but then Eric came along. Mmmmm, Eric. :)
I don't know much about how they portray him in the tv series because I don't watch it, but the actor they got is pretty hot, I guess.
I think Sam may have more to do in the latest book, but I haven't read it yet. He's so cute, though. And Sam Eliot is a perfect Sam. Sookie is a lucky, lucky girl.

2009-09-25T13:16:09.888-07:00

I told you: my list is all Picard. Picard is the alpha and the omega. (-:

"It's not so much that I don't like Inara, it's just that I don't like them as a couple. I think that she is always trying to make him someone he isn't. Plus, sometimes it just feels like default coupling - they were the only ones left on the ship who weren't spoken for, crazy, or Jayne."

YES. Seconded. Any time they try to play up sexual tension between the male lead and the female lead in ANY show, it's like watching the quarterback date the head cheerleader. It's expected, it's boring.

My favorite part of the movie was that the pairing they decided to deal with was Simon/Kaylee rather than Mal/Inara. (-:

Maybe Simon/Kaylee is just as expected, but I liked it better. Maybe just because Kaylee's a hottie and they never QUITE make Simon SO clueless as to get annoying, even though they come close.

Meg - don't get me wrong, I like Cordy and Wes...

2009-09-25T11:08:11.657-07:00

Meg - don't get me wrong, I like Cordy and Wesley on Buffy but when I watched Angel I was thinking "main characters? WTF?" and they are just surprisingly great and they really develop and change.

I know what you mean about Tom and B'elanna. The first time they *almost* have sex, it was because they thought she was going to die if they didn't. I am glad you like him too, I have always had a thing for him.

PS - why is alien mating always so violent and dangerous on Star Trek?

I am completely obsessed with Dr. Who right now. It is AMAZING.

I already know that my comment is going to turn in...

2009-09-25T10:41:32.444-07:00

I already know that my comment is going to turn into a novella ;) Really fun post, I'm totally going to do this for my LJ!

Completely agree about Sawyer. If I met him in real life I'd probably think "what a douchebag!" but, somehow, I love him.

Desmond!! *swoon* He and Penny are absolutely my favorite Lost couple. I cried so much during "The Constant".

Oh hell yes Tom Paris! I really like him and B'elanna too. Ever notice how their relationship takes huge leaps when they think they're going to die? ;)

Aw, I kinda liked the unlikeable Buffy!Wesley and Buffy!Cordelia :D Angel!Wesley is excellent, of course.

MAL!! and Simon, both good choices.

Spike: cheekbones to die for <3

And finally, note to self: need to watch more of The Office and Dr. Who.
(I don't think my first comment took).

2009-09-25T10:11:08.130-07:00

Ashley - I know! Apparently we have the same taste in men - and watch mostly the same shows.

It's not so much that I don't like Inara, it's just that I don't like them as a couple. I think that she is always trying to make him someone he isn't. Plus, sometimes it just feels like default coupling - they were the only ones left on the ship who weren't spoken for, crazy, or Jayne. I still wouldn't change anything about firefly, though. It's a pretty damn perfect show.

Very nice. You have a couple on here that I might ...

2009-09-25T08:37:14.886-07:00

Very nice. You have a couple on here that I might have had if I'd watched their TV shows when I made my list. Like Castle, Jack Carter, and John Shephard. I also enjoy that both Fillion and Boreanaz have two spots.

And now, a question: you don't like Inara?!

Ah! TV boyfriends! I have so many! Very good list....

2009-09-24T21:57:24.507-07:00

Tara - I haven't watched Burn notice but my brother (Jeff, above) insists that I should be watching it. It's on my list.

I am totally with you on Helo, that is such a good point - it has to be character-specific because I don't feel anything for Paul Ballard either.

Castle is totally sexy, I'm with you there. He is really charming - I think it helps that he is obviously into her, something Mal was never straightforward about with Inara.

P.S. Thanks for the props. ;)

2009-09-24T21:46:06.434-07:00

I must share your pining issue because, Gio! Spike! Ahhhh. There's something so deep in the way they looked at their beloveds.

And your "character not actor" theory is interesting. It does make a difference, because I thought Helo was the hottest thing going but I have NO interest in his boring Dollhouse character. Meanwhile, I actually find Fillion sexier in Castle. Is that weird? (And Dr. Horrible, of course. At least for the outfit.)

You must not watch Burn Notice, because there's no way Michael Weston wouldn't make a list of 27!!

2009-09-24T20:55:00.012-07:00

Ben - This is 100% based on character, the actor doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with "allowing double dipping". It wouldn't be fair to not be able to include an actor because he played 2 parts.

Picard is a badass but I am not really attracted to him, hence he is missing from my list.

You should make your own list (instead of just critiquing mine, loser :P).

It's not double-dipping because it's based...

2009-09-24T20:45:44.502-07:00

It's not double-dipping because it's based on the character not the actor :P I think my two would be Mal and Castle. If it was a threesome would that break the universe?

I really wondered when I saw Richard Castle, "...

2009-09-24T20:30:47.579-07:00

I really wondered when I saw Richard Castle, "Okay, granted I haven't seen that show, so maybe it's amazing, but if you're going to pick a Nathan Fillion character, how can you pick ANYONE but Mal?" Didn't realize we were allowing double-dipping until I saw Mal higher up on the list. Good. All is right with the cosmos.

...By the way, Tom Paris is pretty and Worf is awesome, but when it comes to Star Trek, Picard owns all.

I am of the firm opinion that you can be straight and have two exceptions, two guys that you're gay for. Once you get to three, you're probably bi, and you should look into that. But you can have two and still be perfectly straight.

Captain Picard is both of mine.

Too many typos in first comment :P

2009-09-24T19:51:33.802-07:00

I'm straight. Good, now that that's out of the way here is my list:

5) John Sheppard (Stargate Atlantis)
4) Angel (Angel)
3) The Doctor (10th) (Dr Who)
2) Booth (Bones)
1) Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly/Serenity)

Those were just my top 5. Yeah.. I should probably go write my own list except with women or something after that...
