And when Daniel starts the bar fight.

Not that I watch this show.

I never watched Charmed until I randomly saw an episode in a hotel last year and got sucked in by how pretty Rose McGowan is and how badly Alyssa Milano is dressed. And then I noticed how bad the special effects were, which made it even more fun to snicker at, and Buffy was ending, and the next thing I knew I kind of halfway *cared* about the characters.

I still have never seen a Shannen Doherty episode; I'll catch up if they ever put it out on DVD.

And when Daniel starts the bar fight.

Well, yeah, but I kind of liked that. "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?"

Or, as Billy Crystal said, "Vwy gavareetye v'menoi?" Wow, I've never tried to write Russian with Roman letters before (and a decade-old memory of Russian grammar). 'S hard.

but I kind of liked that.

Oh, I liked it too. It was in response to ita's "they were so hot when" comment. He gets the whole sexy librarian thing going when the glasses come off.

His comment is ... "Not this time," isn't it? Poor, previously beaten up Daniel.

Yeah, Jack says "Let it go," and Daniel says, "Not this time."

I also laugh at the way they save on the special effects budget by only occasionally showing them doing something impressive, and the rest of the time, just having the "OOF!" and "CRASH!" sounds. It's just like Batman.

Oh good. Sorry for the misunderstanding, Dana, I thought you were nitpicking rather than appreciating the wonder that is The Daniel.

Oh my. Just remembered, I dreamed about two different TV shows with Michael Shanks in them last night. In one he was a bartender/Walgreen's pharmacist. No, really, he gave me a Prozac, a beer, and a bunny-shaped bottle of Pepto-Bismol. I don't remember what the other one was, just that I thought it was odd that he was in both, and hypothesized that the bartender/pharmacist must have been made in the late 90s sometime.

Yeah, no, I've given up on resisting that. Although I still say the resemblance between him and Blair is at times freakish.

Not that I watch this show.

Of course not. Wouldn't want to imply anything different.

he's looking hot as shit and pretty buff, so where the hell is that coming from?

He was nattering on about Sumerian history to Sam for an hour beforehand. t /fanwank

Yeah, no, I've given up on resisting that. Although I still say the resemblance between him and Blair is at times freakish.

No no, the freaky thing is the way that if you get them at the right angles he and Ben Browder look similar. (Daniel is probably the more mentally healthy of the two, which is... alarming, really.)

His eyebrows are also at times freakish. Which is why I prefer him bespectacled.

What's the ep where they're frozen and re-woken and told everyone's dead? He's so not buff in it.

And his hair is in a truly odd intermediate stage.
