Mmmmm, Danny.

Mmm. Now I'm gettin' the jones to rewatch my SN DVDs for, like, the fourth time in a row.

I find Dean Cain and Tom Welling conventionally attractive -- I might do a sly double-take if I saw them walking down the street. Michael Rosenbaum, however, probably isn't conventionally attractive, but for me, the dude is stealth-sexy. I didn't see what the fuss was over Lex until I saw him move, heard him talk, watched him smile and think -- and as soon as I did, I switched into lizard-brain mode. Wantwantwant! Want now!

Kind of like how I feel about Peter Wingfield and Callum Keith Rennie.

It's a remora, dimwit.

The X-Files ep "Ice" is good - great work with claustrophobia, paranoia, Mulder making pithy jokes, "Before passing judgment, remember boys, we are in the Arctic." And I'd think the modern encased-in-ice episodes might be a result of "Logan's Run" or Han Solo's time frozen in carbonite.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I liked The Thing so much, the redux had nothing to offer me. Though it was better than the parallel volcano threat ep.

I'd think the modern encased-in-ice episodes might be a result of "Logan's Run" or Han Solo's time frozen in carbonite.

Not the Mutant X one, I don't think. That was pretty mildly Thing. I don't recall the Logan's Run freezing, but the essence in most of these is that a threat is unfrozen, unlike Han Solo.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Agred that MR is unconventionally attractive, which is why he's attractive. This is why he should guest start on Alias, which has a good track record of unconventional walking sex magnets. Also, he is too smart not to know, and not a good enough actor to completely hide the knowledge, that the writing is terrible. He says his lines as if they all were the denouement of an Agatha Christie mystery. It's the acting equivalent of watching Lucius Malfoy prance around saying "Evil! Evil!"

The XF episode Ice was great fun. I mean, even before the shrinkage jokes and everyone being required to poop in a jar. It was also an example of the things you can do with a production budget of $1.23!

And with "Ice" there's the story about how David Duchovny became so smitten with the dog that he adopted his daughter.

Ooh!

And suddenly I'm imagining MR and David Anders both giving each other their coy little boy looks.

I'll be in my bunk.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

MR's attactiveness, to me, comes out of the buttercream icing way he speaks as Lex and encompasses his physical presence making him look beayoootiful.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yeah, I don't think MR looks so hot bald, but he works those bland lines with some real skill -- he's going to have a long career if he wants it.
