In the nooks and crannies of cyberspace

Close your mouth (it's lewd)

Two weeks ago I didn't know the guy. Now I 'm convinced: Dexter is hot. Why?

Not because he's a morally ambiguous guy. No.
Not because he's got a nice bod. No. When it comes to beefcake, I like the more pronounced ones. ( well, I do consider watching Six Feet Under, now that I've seen this.) 
Not because he's ginger. I don't usually fall for ginger men. I did marry one some 20 years ago, but that's, well, an anomaly, knowing I am a natural redhead, like my father, my brother and half of my 21 cousins & nieces.

No: what turns me on is his mouth, and more specifically, his open mouth posture. 

Michael C. Hall is a fine actor.  He's turned Dexter into an adult killer who's never actually grown up. Cause half of the time - did you notice too? - he sits there with his mouth (slightly) open.  And it just kills me. It makes him look innocent. Childish. In need of protection. And well, yeah, I wouldn't mind taking care of that.

Damnit. Close your mouth Dex, it's lewd.

Yummy Dexter

For the love of Gaius Baltar

The whole question as to whether a female Starbuck and a female Boomer compel women to watch science fiction shows never bothered me much.  I never cared for any genre specifically. If a show's good, it's good, no? What I do know is that I can distinguish between shows I watch for the guys and shows I watch for the girls. And I guess that really says more about who I consider interesting and attractive than anything else.

Shows I (re)watch for the guys in them - that I can think of right now - are:

1. Buffy The Vampire Slayer: because Giles - my hero librarian - and Spike (ooh) still rock my world.
2. Californication: for Hank Moody, yes
3. Grey's Anatomy, cause I really dig Dr. Derek Shepherd

Shows I watch for the girls are

1. Firefly: Zoe, Inara, Kaylee and River Tam ...
2. Battlestar Galactica: Kara Thrace rulez!
3. Lost: Kate
4. The L word: Shane & Moira (well, she's not a girl innit?)
   

Now does that mean that the male BSG characters are uninteresting or unattractive? Not at all. There's just not a single guy in there who really blows me off my socks.

1. Apollo (with or without towel) has heartthrob qualities, for sure. He is cute but way too complicated (BTW: I like Jamie better in UK English, which he usually speaks)
2. I think Samuel Anders can be really sexy. Nicely beefcakey but a bit too much of a jock  to my liking.
3. I like Leoben for his looks. Can so see why Starbuck had erotic dreams of him.
4. In all honesty: Tyrol would probably be the guy I would end up with.
   
5. Or maybe even Helo...

None of them appeal continuously. Neither does Gaius Baltar, but he's a tough case. He is at once pitiful, comical, despicable and endearing. There's so much to say against our brilliant scientists character that loving him the way Six does is hard to grasp. He actually is one of the most self-centered guys in the universe, but that does not lessen the fact that he is - in so many ways - terribly attractive. 
For starters: he's intelligent - and not just a bit! Mr Baltar is a renowned scientist with an acquired taste for more mundane matters than theoretical thinking. Back on Caprica he is well groomed, lives in a fancy appartment and does not stay indoors to write formulas at night. And he is funny. So many times I chuckled over the things he said or did.

Shelly Godfrey: Have you lost your mind?
Baltar: I don't know, that's an interesting question, one I pose to myself on a regular basis.

He's a philanderer, that's true. Because he's good at it. Once aboard Galactica he survives by doing everything ... well, to survive. In which he succeeds, in the end. Moving me to tears ...(to my surprise cause I did not like any of the deck eight stories)

I must admit too that I am biased towards Baltar because of his British accent.  And James Callis has it. Really. I soo dig him in the Final David Eick Video Blogs.

No surprise

Which Battlestar Galactica Character Are You?

ReWatchNow

Started anew today, used wikipedia to get an overview and learnt some new stuff ...

The miniseries worth 183 min, that makes 3 hours, ouch (did not know this when I started out this morning)
Season one: thirteen one-hour episodes
Season two: 20 episodes
Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance: 10 webisodes. Did I see them before???

Season three: 20 episode
Webisodes: Razor Flashbacks Did I see them before???
Season three: 20 episodes
Season four: 22 episodes, 10 till now

And then it's a wait for what airs (and reaches us) first: the Caprica (TV series) or  Season four's Sometimes a Great Notion.

Let's see, I'm on a roll for about 83 episodes. Suppose I manage to watch 5 episodes a week, then it should take me something like 16 or 17 weeks. It 'll be mid december by the time I'm finished.  (How did I ever manage all the BTVS episodes?) Huh. Might do it a little faster. Or skip some. Read episode guides first. Yup, That 'll work.

Facts is October 11-12. Might use that date as a target.

In any case: I' ve got quite some watching and reading to do ...

Before it runs out of power

Night. Another start at another blog. Why? Unsure. There's places to be serious and places to rant - anonymously - elsewhere. Still, this one is as good as any.  So I might as well use it. For something. Maybe theme based? Who knows. Spread some BSG obsession? Why not.

I might even make it into a costume blog. Yep. I might. I need longer hair for starters. If I want to dress like Kara. And dye my hair as well.
