ok, so this is all self interest, I need reassurance (and maybe a big 'there, there..' hug)

Long story condensed, My mom is terroizing me with an old copy of SFX (the Brit Sci-fi special if anyone is interested)

Its terrifying cause it contains a full page (?!?!) photo of Chris Barrie as Rimmer, stripped to the waist, tied to a stake and being oiled up(from the episode 'Rimmerworld')

This picture freaks.Me.Out.

So she keeps holding it up and calling my name, or sticking it round my door and a hundred other little devious tricks.

The terrible thing to admit is I think it disturbs me so much because I think I actually fancy Chris Barrie

(Er, when he's NOT covered in oil.)

So thats the reassurance I want,

Does anyone else here have any random crushes on people? Anyone get really turned on by David Letterman? Does Marge Simpson really do it for you?

Please share. It will make me feel better...

(p.s - (I'm worried primarily 'cause the main thing i've seen him in is Red Dwarf - i'm not talking 'real life' personalities, lets keep it shallow people)

Wow -Rimmer. :cough:
Maybe deep down (oh, wait -shallow! nm ;]
My confession:
Jackie. From That 70's Show. God help me I love
bitchy women!

Hang on, to be fair, Jackie actually *is* kinda
hot so, here's my Rimmer equivalent for ya:

Mmmmmm not too bitchy but plenty nerdified.

What scares me most is hearing that apparently some American women fancy Simon Cowell!!!!?????

Are you BLIND??!! He wears his waistband up to his stomach (presumably to hold it in!!) and he is so old!!! I'm sure he dies his hair.

Is it his accent that attracts you? His Attitude?? His physique and his attitude are a total turn off to me and , being British, his accent is just ordinary......

Can anyone explain to me why ANYONE would find him attractive? It's a mystery to me!!!!!

Adam Baldwin, now there's a different matter....... He's gorgeous!!!!!

But embarassing crushes - my first crush was on the Karate Kid (I was 12 at the time!!!)

As far as cartoon characters go...I donno I've always found Lois from Family Guy pretty hot...as far as real people...hmmm...I kinda always liked Kristie Ally...even after she was fat...I donno what it is about her in particular but I'm a fan.

It's natural to be attracted to people we don't know. Call it a "crush", call it "physical attraction", call it "lust", whatever.

What isn't good is for that attraction to go beyond that -- particularly, as we don't know the people, or much (if anything) about what they're really like.

As such, in my opinion, basing a feeling of anything more than "attraction" onto a person we don't know, is generally a recipe for disaster.

And, it just makes me shudder when someone says they "love" someone they don't know. Granted, they might mean "love" in the general sense, as in a "love for mankind". If they mean what I think they mean, though, it certainly isn't "love" -- which is unconditional, and not based on appearance.

Attracted to strangers? Yeah. I think that's normal. Anything more, though, no. I think it's dangerous.

Just my half cent.

Used to have a bad crush on George Clooney-especially when he was first on ER.

Alas, poor George has been replaced by our own Captain-Nathan. I'd never seen that gorgeous hunk of man until I saw the BDH in early October and fell hook line and sinker.

Didn't see Nathan on One Life to Live-I quit watching due to work right before Nathan started on the soap, didn't see him in Saving Private Ryan but as soon as I saw the BDH and then Firefly I went "oh my gosh-he's sexy as hell, a talented actor and from all reports seems to be a nice guy." Just hope he likes women about 10 years older than he is.

*cough*...umm...hmm...

Summer Glau, o'course, but she's a bit older than I am, but oh well.
Other than that, umm...erm...i think Emma Watson. Is that wrong if i'm only a year and a half older(17)?
They both just seem like smart young women.

MAN, i hope no-one i know reads this.

I saw Star Wars for the first time when I was ten and developed a serious crush on Luke - yes, Luke, not Han Solo. I was too young to know which one was supposed to be the sexy one. Also, when my parents found out they laughed their asses off because of course by that time in real life Luke was their age - fortysomething.

See, here's the thing.
Summer Glau is around my age, and from texas. I mean, i kick myself when i think, hey, she was 186 miles from me for years.

LOL you fancy Rimmer. Well I quite fancy Kochanski (the version played by Chloe Annet and not Claire Grogan)

Claudia Black (Farscape, Pitch Black)

Dana Scully (X-Files)

I also have a thing for Leela from Futurama. Ok I know she has 1 eye and she's played by Peggy Bundy from Married with Children but I think it's the boots :D

SERYN

Sunday, January 15, 2006 10:23 AM

christ I fancy Claudia Black!

seeing as i'm female and usually consider myself straight, then thats a random crush.

But in your case (you are a bloke arn't you?)its perfectly understandable.

and yeah, its the boots. *cough*

i wouldn't call it a crush - i'm a happily married guy for heaven's sake - but i have recurring dreams about george clooney.

he keep cropping up as a used car salesman.

trying to sell me back my old ford (the first car i had).

it freaks me out.

It's usually not until I have a dream with someone in it that I develop a short-lived crush. They're usually steamy dreams....so you can imagine how crushed I am when the alarm clock goes off in the morning.

I think the latest celeb was Ashley Judd.

I also find Chris Barrie quite attractive, and have a crush on him from time to time.

I have a list of folk I rotate through. I have far too much on my plate to actually have a relationship, so I get warm fuzzies over folk that I don't ever have to actually converse with when I feel the need.

I also have had crushes on fictional characters (Moulder, not David Dukovny...Simon, not Sean Maher...Lucifer from the Poison Elves comic, and the like).

Honestly...I have a HUGE crush on Guts from the cartoon Berserk! I have had reaccuring dreams about him. I don't know if I would call it a crush, more of an object of lust. I also really like Inuyasha, but I am a cartoon junkie.
Now Jayne, that is a serious object of lust! He is simply fantastic. That boy just don't know... Okay, I think I should shut up now. (I need a cold shower)

Well, it is... safer in some ways having a crush on fictional characters than real people.

My latest:

Kaylee (obviously perfect girl-friend material)
Finn from that Lost World series
oh, and about a half-dozen of the anchorwomen on the early morning news shows.

From back a ways:
Betty Rubble from the Flintstones
Hannah from S Club 7
and thinking back to the Futurama reference, I always had a thing for Amy...

Yeh I'm a dude and I knew it was the boots :)

Oh I forgot I have a thing for your Avatar Saff-Yo-Bridge. I have this thing for brilliant, psychotic, evil women with red hair. I want to get to Starfury to get her autograph and then get thrown out by security for asking her to 'treat me bad' .LOL

SERYN

Sunday, January 15, 2006 1:20 PM

please, warn me beforehand so i'm there to watch that...

yeah, the men I like always seem to follow trends - dark (the exceptions - Sean Bean, Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion) pale, slightly wonky nosed (Adrian brody, Zack Braff) pretty-eyed, creative and so intense as to be bordering on the insane (hellloooo Trent Reznor)

The longest, not-initiated-by-looks crush was Oscar Wilde, yep, gay and er, dead. But give me a time machine and i'm there! The other for similar reasons was Steven Fry, still gay, but at least he ain't pushin up the pretties.

Vera-Ellen Westmyer-Rohe.

If you've ever seen Irvin Berlins "White Christmas", you've seen her, and she could leave even old Fred "gasping like a landed fish".

A kind heart, legs to die for, pure poetry in motion - cut down by hollywoods insistance that she was "fat" because her legs were too muscular, leading to an eating disorder that made her easy prey for cancer.

She was a cherry blossom, of that there is no doubt.

Whoa...me too! It's very strange, but while I'm madly in love with Sean/Nathan/Alan...etc...I also have a very odd attraction to Simon/Mal/Wash, too.

Other than our BDH's...ahmm...I'm gonna have to go with Elijah Wood. And if any of you have seen him in Flipper....

Oh, and for any Stargate fans out there: Richard Dean Anderson and *embarrased cough* David Hewlett.

Lets see:

Cartoon characters:
Ami Mizuno-Anderson/Sailor Mercury (from Sailor Moon, 'cause I have a thing for brainy girls [Do I get points for knowing her full hyphenated name and that she's my age? --the show was made in '95, and she was 15 then]).
Demona (from Gargoyles, brilliant, mystically-inclined, utterly lethal, tragic, and beautiful [yes, even with the talons, wings, and glowing eyes]).
Sh'Lainn Blaise (from Roswell Conspiracies, 'cause Irish girls are my kryptonite. Seriously, female voices with Irish accents make me lose the ability to think straight).

And it's not exactly a crush, but if I ever meet a real girl who's half as "together" as Kagome (from InuYasha). . .

Live characters:
Willow (from Buffy, who got me hooked on the show after about three seconds of screentime).
Hoshi Sato (from Enterprise, because of the cuteness, intellect, and social ineptitude).
Trance Gemini (from Andromeda, back when she was purple and fun and huggable and had a prehensile tail).
Kaylee (for obvious reasons).

Tara (from Buffy) gets bonus points for both being cuter than Willow, and for earning a real-life crush on Amber Benson ('cause she's a reclaimed comic book junkie).

David Hewlett?

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha haaaaaa!

Fabulous, oh I feel so good. No I can see the attraction, despite the irritating manner and food obsession, theres a glimmer of something there to love. But I have to say, he's sadly over shadowed by Joe Flannigan and his 'big-balls swagger'

Richard Dean Anderson? drool, even after I saw him with The Mullet. Something of a real life hero as well, he aparently regularly throws himself down mountainsides for charity, seal saving and such.

Yeah, I think i'm being too hard on Chris Barrie, out of costume he's lovely,I'm sure Mrs Barrie is the happiest woman alive, he just keeps pulling all those faces...

When you've got a crush on someone you don't know, I'm told it's because they "represent" something for you.

I wonder what it is that we can totally get obsessed over characters that we know are fictional.

InuYahsa is totally hot. I can't resist a guy who needs to be saved from himself by the love of a good woman. Like, say, Mr. Darcy.

My crushes are usually on the geeks (Daniel Jackson, Simon Tam) or on the cast member with the Scottish accent. My preference is the Aberdeen brogue, but I'm not terribly picky.

Ok so RDA um that would be a yes, damn but I loved Macgyver, loved him even more in SG1. Like Michael Shanks but gimme James Spader any day. And Sean Bean when he was in Sharpe. Also Viggo Mortensen and Gabriel Byrne. Is there a pattern here? David Hewlett, not so much but Paul McGillion is on my list. But then I'm biased - I'm a Scot.

Almost forgot about Richard Dean Anderson. He's an even hotter hotie now with his gray hair.

Back in the '80's when everyone watched General Hospital and had crushes on Rick Springfield, John Stamos, the character Luke etc. I was a confirmed Richard Dean Anderson drooler.

BOWIE

Sunday, January 15, 2006 9:35 PM

Ever since I watched Sharps soldiers I have had the biggest crush on Sean Bean. He was hot as Boromir too, though I think he would have made a better strider, and he was sooo awsomely handsome as the bad guy in national treasure. I don't know if I like his accent or what, but I like him. Oh yeah, and the guy who played Harper on Sharp, he's hot too, though not in the same way. :P

I also like Clint Eastwood and John Wayne, which is sad because both those men are older then my grandad. They will forever be around 30 on tv though. Thats still kinda sad cause I'm only 17, but its at least closer.

Then lets see...... I alos like Bruce Willace. I had a sad dream about him last night. I was at the theator and met him, and he didn't like me...... Which is for me a very sad dream....... and a little disapointing.

Then I also like the guy who played strider in Lort. And the Hobbit who plays on Lost. And oddly enouph the guy who plays Hurrley on lost. He's just so cute, with his hair and everything. :P Which is kinda odd, cause I usaully, as you can probebly tell, go for action guys. Oh well, its not like I'm ever going to marry any of them. :P *sigh*

*Has daydream about Sean Bean.*

Oh yeah, then theres also Crokidile Dundee. Hes hot too.......

Its the wierd stuff. Yeah. I think Chris Barrie is a little wierd. Especially as Rimmer!
Cartoon characters- well, no, I get the Wonder Woman thing, and even the Velma thing.

But then, our subconscious must have a reason. There's something that appeals to some aspect of our brains that makes me watch X-Men cartoons, I'm sure of it.

Yeah, I know. It's kinda sad. I mean, Joe Flanigan's obviously hot, but come on, how come the geeks never get the attention?

RDA: LOVE him! But not so sure about the mullet. He can barely get away with it and when Richard Dean Anderson can't carry off something, you know you've got a major style problem on your hands.

When I was a youngling--I had a huge crush on the leader of G-Force (Gatchaman). Then I decided to get real, and focused my interests on Shawn Cassidy, god love me.
My hubby owns my heart--but little "crushes" on certain celebs are ok--
For me they would be--
Mal (N.Fillion)
Kevin Spacey
Ed Harris
Robin Williams
I like intelligent men w/ humor.

For the hubby it would be--
Sandra Bullock
Renee Zelwegger
Kate Beckinsale
Jodi Foster
Various Anime gals

Also, I have a strange crush-like thing on X-Men2's Nightcrawler--go figure.

I often get the feeling that Mr Darcy is pretty much my perfect man, I can't think of a single thing I don't like about him.

Oh to find my very own live version.

But then again, it is odd, 'cause on t.v. shows I tend to go for the grumpy, sardonic closed off characters.

Oh.... ...yeah. Nope, no change there.

I think thats the only reason I liked SG:Atlantis - theres an overabundance of grumpy men.

The doctor is cute.

RDA, hell he looks good in plus fours! and just keeps on getting better.

Daniel Jackson I find to be just too damn earnest and sensitive, though much improved lately (thank you Vala) but extremely picturesque.

Sean Bean, first and lasting major crush. Sharpe... the Riflemans uniform... the tousled hair... the rough and ready accent...

phew! does anyone think its a bit warm in here?

And yes, there is just something about Sharp........
He is not a pretty boy, he gets in fights and cheets on his wife.... and yet he's so damn desirable.... perhaps this is a bad thing....

to be honest, I think its his rough and ready 'free' nature that makes him so attractive, and the uniform... Did I mention the uniform?

His cheating on Teresa was terrible (but at least he knew that) but as for jane, cheating on him with Wesley from Angel? She can go jump.

He's never been one I fancied, but I do have to say that in the briek period between him loosing the bumbling idiot routine and embracing the dark side, Wesley was a fine man.

Haha! I KNOW who you're talking about. I used to watch Red Dwarf on Public Television on Saturday nights. RIMMER!? My dad would DIE!

Anyway, I'm with Seryn about Mr. Darcy--especially the Collin Firth Mr. Darcy, though the new Pride and Predjudice Mr Darcy is pretty attractive, too. However, I also fancy Gerard Butler. I know he got a lot of crap about his "Phantom of the Opera" performance, but I SO TOTALLY envy Emmy Rossum! He really is so attractive, and, despite what some critics might say, he's got a decent voice. That, and the accent! Humm....
I have also developed a crush on Nathan. Yes, our Nathan. Well, what is a girl to do?
Embarassing crushes, though? Well, I pretty much get embarrased about having celebrity crushes no matter what--though I think that hardly counts in this situation. If I ever have had a wierdo celebrity crush, then I've forgotten it, squished it all the way to the back of my brain that it's evaporated from the pressure.
So, yeah, Nathan, Gerard Butler, Mr. Darcy. (Jane Austen was bang on, wasn't she?)

Wacky fun!

Since I'm among friends...Nathan, Nathan, and oh, yeah, Nathan. *sighs* I too seem to suffer from the character crush (Mal,Han Solo...) What can I say? I like a rogue. There's something about a guy with a gun, a title, tightpants and his own ship. In his interviews Nathan sounds like a great fan of sci-fi, so he's instantly attractive there.Not to mention the fact that he's gorgeous. (Who says good things don't come from Canada?)...*Goes off to daydream about Nathan...again*

I was 10 when I first read Stephen King's IT, and I fell in love with Beverly Marsh like a flea would fall into a black hole.(I think I still love her, even though I'm 17 now and Bev is a huge slut)

Also, Emma Watson. I love the accent.
And she has good hair. There's nothing wrong with crushes as long as you don't make dolls out of your crush's hair and play with them by candlelight.

I love me a hot dork, and Wes and Angel both fit that bill, even if they were also, y'know, experienced killers, and all. Nathan, Sean, Adam and Alan all seem to fit into that same niche - as do their Firefly characters, from time to time, some more than others. *cough*WashandSimon*cough*

First of all, let's get something clear. As a guy, I don’t have crushes. Men don’t do that, especially real men, like men who shoot guns, reroof their house and ride dirtbikes. Cause I’m a man, and I don’t have crushes. But these are some women I think are really hot.

That being clarified.

I always thought Kate Beckinsale was hot in her black spandex and corset in Underworld.

I also kind of thought Dr. Calvin from I, Robot was hot. I believe she was Bridget Moynahan.

Gillian Anderson from the X-files.

Jeanne Tripplehorn and Lauren Graham are totally hot.

And of course, Kim Possible. There just something about KP. What can I say? At my age I can’t really drool over high school cheer leaders unless they’re animated.

Oh, he's so full of manure, that man! We could lay him in the dirt and grow another one just like him.

Oh, and Scott Patterson, who plays Luke on Gilmore Girls is very "scruffy-real-man" hot.

And who can forget-as someone has already said-the wonder that is our very own Cap'n Tightpants: Nathan Fillion?

(God, I have waaay too many crushes on people! And I haven't even named all of them, how sad is that?)

Paul Bettany, Paul Bettany, Paul Bettany.

Its reaching frightening proportions.

There's a fairly long list of celebs and characters I've entertained crushes on. I'm quite the fangirl. Fell in little girl love for the first time with George Cooper of Tamora Pierce's books at about thirteen and I still revisit that character from time to time. Right now other biggies are Snape and Alan Tudyk.

I would probably have to say the strangest would be Jack White, though. I have no idea what attracts me to that man.

But then my real life taste is a little strange as well.

come off it finn, of course men have crushes...

they just have different names for them, which i'm not going to go into, cause i've just eaten.

I love the term 'hot dork' thats so funny, and yeah, Nathan et al's real life geekiness and sweetness is might appealing.

but down that route lie restraining orders, soo...

Back to characters. this whole 'experienced killer' thing has always troubled me a little, yeah, I admire a man who can look after himself, by whatever means are appropriate, but where is that fine line between 'experienced killer' and 'serial killer'? cause from what I remember, Wes got pretty close to it.

Which kinda put me off him.

That’s proprietary information!

Years ago, when I just a wee Finn, I did have a crush. She was a blonde, beautiful smile, red checkered shirt, but she broke my heart. I woke up every Saturday morning and sat on the brown-ish shag carpet in my batman jammies just to see her. But those days are gone, and I must move on.

Its wierd for me, I hardly ever fall for the "Celeb". Its more like I develop a crush on the characters they portray.

As a 14 yr old, I believe I was somehow crazy about Whitney from the Bodyguard... then with the part played by Renee Zellwegger in Jerry Maguire.

Btw, new fan of Firefly, watched the movie about 1 month ago, and wasnt hooked, but being a sci-fi nut, I saw the reviews on IMDB, and got the TV series. Loved it... didn't want to watch all the parts because I hate knowing that there aren't any more.

Okay folks hang on for the ride. "Love" in this post is defined as getting temporarily weak in the knees at the thought of someone and that someone occassionally sneaks into my dreams to make them more interesting.

I loves me three celebrity males and two females and strangely enough some of the characters they play.

Sean Bean -- Mr. Sharpe is a total, absolute hottie. As for SB, I even drooled over him when he played a murdering, raping, violent, wife beater in 'Essex Boys'.

Peter Wingfield -- He came into my life as Methos and I don't care if he's a nasty Goal'd who has murdered thousands, I'd give him a tongue bath in a heartbeat. As for PW, aye carumba! Nose and toes forever, baby. *thud*

Michael Shanks -- Dr. Jackson is a total geek hottie with both and intelligent mind and a smoking hot body to explore. *swoon* Mr. Shanks is the person I visualize as playing the male lead in the movie version of the murder mystery I'm writing.

Peta Wilson -- I'd hide Nikita for Section and I'd even share my extensive collection of boots and shoes with her. My husband knows of my Peta obsession and feeds it by buying me Nikita boxed sets.

Gina Torres -- Zoe is me. There, I said it. I'm obviously crippled emotionally and am in love with myself. As for the gorgeous Ms. Torres ... *squeeee!*

This does not include my appreciation for the beauty of Denzel Washington, Nathan Fillion, Katee Sackhoff, Jonathan Adams and Amanda Tapping

Yea, I have a crazy long list of celebs, and fictional charectors that I have fallen totally and utterly in love with. lol.

Obviously, the first two on my list would be Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk. Duh. I don't really think I need to explain those two.

Johnny Depp and Viggo Mortensen will always have a special place in my heart.

But for odd crushes. I always kinda liked Inigo from the Princess Bride. ???? Don't really know what that was about. Maybe how cool he was with the revenge thing. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die"
heehee

Oh, and I always think Alan Alda is so very cute in M*A*S*H.

I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now. lol. But my pattern is generally dark haired (few exceptions) with distinctive noses.( I really really really don't know why on that one but they always do?????)

"I don't need a back spaceship driver!"

SERYN

Tuesday, January 17, 2006 6:19 PM

yeah, I'm with Gingerbob, if any one could give us a clue why on earth 'distinctive' (I always just say 'big' or 'wonky' - but distinctive is good) noses seem to be the defining factor then I would love them forever.

Dark haired is a classic though, tall dark and handsome etc etc

By the way, my use of the word love, when i'm not referring directly to family, friends, pets or lovers is generally in the same sense as when I say, 'oh my god I love chocolate'

and crushes are fun distractions, they should be cultivated as a cheap and portable pastime.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean there. Me and my friends continually have this problem of discovering boys who are "gonna be really good looking when they grow up".

As for my more legitimate celeb crushes, there is waaaayyy too many to count. That is, if we're just counting ones that we think are attractive. I'd have to say among recent memory:

Legolas from LOTR
Captain Jack Sparrow from POTC
Johnny from Fantastic 4 (he fills out that suit oh so nicely)

See, I have a thing for celebrities that are, in real life, kind and sweet. So it's not usually mainstream major stars that are always shown on "Access Hollywood" or in People.

Cartoons:
Tamahome (Fushigi Yugi): he's gorgeous...

Houjo (Inuyasha): You know, the guy? In modern time? Who always gets Kagome medicine? I don't know why, but I like him. I mean, the other guys are all... violent, and Houjo's sweet.

Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin): I know, he can be violent. But "Oro???" Yeah.

Actual celebrities/Characters:
Jared Padalecki (Gilmore Girls, Supernatural): OK, I hate Supernatural. Gah. Seems like a rip-off of both Scooby-Doo and The X-Files. But when he was on Gilmore Girls? *sigh* (It's my guilty pleasure.)

Fox Mulder (X-Files): I know, I know. I just started to watch it, and it's like, 12 years old now (first season). But you have to admit, he is cute...
But my favorite is...
SEAN MAHER!!! Anyone who knows me knows of my crush on Simon. He's such a sweetie... I think it's because of the fact that I'm very much like Kaylee.

What isn't good is for that attraction to go beyond that -- particularly, as we don't know the people, or much (if anything) about what they're really like.

As such, in my opinion, basing a feeling of anything more than "attraction" onto a person we don't know, is generally a recipe for disaster.

And, it just makes me shudder when someone says they "love" someone they don't know. Granted, they might mean "love" in the general sense, as in a "love for mankind". If they mean what I think they mean, though, it certainly isn't "love" -- which is unconditional, and not based on appearance.

Attracted to strangers? Yeah. I think that's normal. Anything more, though, no. I think it's dangerous.

Good observations.

I have a crush on River Tam, like something fierce. :) But do I love Summer Glau? Not really. I do not know her (yet?). I love River, though. That is different; because River stands for everything I love; her character was specifically designed for me to fall in love with; hook, line, and sinker. ...Sigh... But I digress. :)

That is why I am generally wary of meeting my idols in real life. I mean, I'd be curious to meet Summer Glau, of course. For one, because I'd be able to express my gratitude towards her for what River means to me. But Summer is not River. Snif.

P.S. My crush on River is not random; it's as deliberate as it gets. :)

Seriously though, there are a few celebs that I've got crushes on at the moment. It's not right! It's mainly brunettes and blondes.

* Lisa Sheridan: (Larkin Groves from 'Invasion'.)

* Evangeline Lilly from 'Lost'.

* Summer Glau: Although, now it's more about respect for her as an actress than a crush.

* Eliza Dushku: It goes back to Bad Faith/Good Faith on Buffy.

* Kate Beckinsale: That bloody 'Underworld'!

* Laura Pyper: (Ella Dee from UK supernatural drama 'Hex'.) The character is excellent. Kick ass and dedicated to her job. The actress went through all the ranges in S2. Loved her performance and whenever she smiled.

If I were to have a crush on anybody, which I'm not because I'm happily married of course, it would be Sean Connery. I know he's old enough to be my father. But hey. The man still has it.

But as for people I'd be interested to meet, that would be Adam Baldwin. He's a Midwest boy, just a couple of months older than I am, and he is married with three kids, like I am. I'd like to know if we would find stuff to talk about other than "Geez, Adam, you were so cool in Firefly!" - Stuff like, what it's like raising kids in this world today and reminiscing about winters in the Upper Midwest.

Tuesday, January 31, 2006 9:52 PM

I can't believe I'm adding to this but:

As a kid I had big crushes on Mickey Dolenz (from the Monkees, for those of you who don't know) and Bob Crane (Hogan, from Hogan's Heroes. As a kid, for his looks. Later on, I really got a kick out of the character he plays. I love how he manipulates Klink and Schultz!).

Getting older, I had a long-time thing for Harrison Ford. Unfortunately, as I learned more about the person, I found there were just some things I just flat out didn't like and that obsession finally went away.

Other "crushes" I've had include Pierce Brosnan (mostly in his role as Remington Steele. That suave, yet vulnerable character really got to me), Keanu Reeves as Neo (love that coat!), Jon Anderson of Yes, Sean Connery as his older self (the young James Bond thing didn't do it for me), Michael T. Wiess (the Pretender), David Duchovny, and many others.

My weirdest crush? Dwight Schultz (Murdoch from the A-Team) I can only think it's because of his humor.

Current? Well, of course that would include Nathan. I also have a big thing for Joe Elliott from Def Leppard. Actually, I wouldn't turn down any of the guys from Def Leppard as the more I learn about them, the nicer I find them to be!

I could see being (at the very least) really good friends with my current faves...It seems that their personalities and mind would mix really well.

Strangest crush? I once had a dream I was married to Emilio Estevez (you know, Charlie Sheen's brother) and for a while I had a crush on him.

Most disturbing crush? If anyone remembers the first Harry Potter movie, and little Scottish kid (Oliver Wood I think is the character name) who was the Griffindor Quiditch captain. I mean, wow, he is going to be SUPER hot someday!

I feel gross saying that, he's like 13!

I have a thing for Scottish men...Ewan McGregor, every man in Braveheart!

Most pathetice? That would be my increasingly alarming crush on Nathan Fillion. Can anyone say obsessed? Sad and pathetic, I know!

You only need to worry if you’re a jr. high teacher.

Truth be told, I thought Emma Watson in the first Harry Potter was adorable. I loved that scene where she raised her hand in class. She was just cute as a button, but man, puberty has been hard on that kid.

I jest. I jest. I’m sure she’ll grow up to be a pretty young woman.

You read my mind. I just got into the X-files like two years ago and am now completely obsessed with it. not to mention that David Duchovny was really hot back then. He's like losing hair now, but that's ok. He still looks pretty good.

I also have to say that I am a Sean Maher gal. He's just so sweet and kind and friendly. I can't help but like him based on his personality, not to mention his incredible looks.

Now, this might be sad, but I have a thing for Orlando Bloom. I'm sorry, but he's just so hot. It's like looking at perfection, excluding Sean Maher.

I also, at some weird point in time, had a thing for Michael J. Fox. Why? I don't know. Maybe it was just because I had seen Back to the Future about six hundred bajillion times in a span of one week.

So, that's it for me. Yes, I'm strange and have weird crushes(excluding Sean Maher) on people. So there. That's it. Stop reading this. Go do something else, like watch Firefly. Oooh! Sean Maher in Objects in Space without his shirt on!*Drools*

I know this is going to "age" me, but I've had a "thing" for Geoff Pierson for years now. "Geoff who???" you say. he first appeared on my radar when he was on "Unhappily Married" with Stephanie Hodges (with Bobcat Goldthwaite doing the voice of a stuffed bunny). Then he played Brett Butler's ex-husband on "Grace Under Fire", and the Father on the very short-lived "That 80's Show" (does ANYONE remember that one?). Most recently he's been on "Rodney" as his wayward Father. I suppose my fascination for him has to do with his resemblence to a guy I work with that I wanted to have an affair with, but that didn't work out. But I still have the hots for Geoff (excuse me while I check the TV guide for the next showing of "Rodney").

You read my mind. I just got into the X-files like two years ago and am now completely obsessed with it. not to mention that David Duchovny was really hot back then. He's like losing hair now, but that's ok. He still looks pretty good.

I also have to say that I am a Sean Maher gal. He's just so sweet and kind and friendly. I can't help but like him based on his personality, not to mention his incredible looks.

Now, this might be sad, but I have a thing for Orlando Bloom. I'm sorry, but he's just so hot. It's like looking at perfection, excluding Sean Maher.

I also, at some weird point in time, had a thing for Michael J. Fox. Why? I don't know. Maybe it was just because I had seen Back to the Future about six hundred bajillion times in a span of one week.

Very cool.

Yeah, I've only just started watching "The X-Files." So I don't know how he looks now. But whatever, man.

I get crushes on weird people. But not as weird as my friend, who has this huge thing for Viggo Mortenson. And she's in High School, like me. Now, I agree that he's pretty good looking in LotR, but seriously. He's in his late 40s. He's as old as her dad. Jeez, his SON is older than she is.

This can easily justify the thing I have for Sean Maher. I mean, he's 30. Compared to Viggo, he's young!

Have you signed the list that people are giving Sean? The list of his fans, or whatever? It seems to be going well, there's already 300 something names.

I had a dream once where I married Phil Collins of Genesis! It was a really strange dream. I remember being really really happy (which was weird because, while I like his music, I never really was attracted to the guy...) Friends of mine (who aren't any longer) abducted him and drove away with him.

Seems like a psychic dream now that I think about it!

These two friends betrayed me in a big way (and it was about a guy, but long after I had this dream) and I've not been friends with them since.

Age shouldn't mean anything.
Dear heaven, if Sean Connery showed up on my doorstep tomorrow, do you think I would turn him away???????

It's just a crush, after all.

This has got to be one of the most enjoyable posts I have read. I have been laughing my butt off at all the crushes. Velma from Scooby Doo? Really? Now, being a woman, I can kind of see the attraction to Simon Cowell. I think it must be the accent, because otherwise he is a big pig. To some folks a British accent or any accent can sound cool.
As for me, my crush is Mal. What can I say? I find him totally sexy and very adorable.

I've always enjoyed listening to (and looking at) Andy Partridge of XTC (British proto-punk-pop band). He's very smart and very funny. Snappy dresser, too.

Joss Whedon cracks me up. I think he's very attractive and engaging. So I guess I like the smart guys.

I really empathized with Mal's character, which makes me develop a crush, but when I learned more about Nathan Fillion and realized how intelligent he was, I got kindof a crush on himself as well.

I prefer having a crush on the character, though.

Odd aside: my first crush on a character was Marshal Jim Crown in the 1967 TV western "Cimarron Strip". I was all of five years old. I probably liked him because he had a horse . . .

Perhaps I have a crush on Mal because he has his ship Serenity. Ha! The things you learn about yourself writing these posts . . .

ok. here's the deal.
i have this raging, deeply hormonal crush on Tony Curran. uh, he's Markus in the Underworld sequel. normally, i don't fancy the redheads, (not that there's anything wrong with them, regardless of what south park says, i just have a lot of fiery-haired relatives.)
for some reason, tony curran just does something for me. i'm fascinated. he's really got a nice body though. maybe that has something to do with it. oh, and the accent. cannot resist the accent. any kind of British Isles-type accent is my kryptonite. especially irish of scottish. they're double kryptonite.
well... i also had this dream...

I have a few legitimate crushes, but the one that just won't go away no matter how unreasonable it seems now is Justine Bateman from Family Ties. I loved that show as a kid but I've never been able to shake my crush on her. Gillian Anderson came and went, as did many others, but Justine just won't leave. Always in the back of my mind she is....

Veto! Veto! I say. It has to be River! (aka Summer Glau). It just has to. With River not in first place, the 'verse would start to collapse in on itself, or something to that effect. O God, I don't know what I'm saying, I never know what I'm saying. Anyway, I just blatantly managed to sqeeze River's name in it again, and that is always good, I guess. :)

wow, that's one I haven't heard before...Chris Barrie....having seen Red Dwarf but not SFX I still can see his boyish charm.
I too have a crush *insert gasp*.The 1 and only celebrity crush I can truly say I have ever had.(I wish I was 12 and unmarried so I could scetch it on my notebook..but..(I *heart*Alan Tudyk)...ehem
I am so sprung on Alan Tudyk it's not even funny. Not that I would ever be with anyone else but my fabulous husband..

but were I unwed, I would take him in a womanly fashion..>'cause he's pretty.
(and I love the way he says "baby" to Zoe..makes me melt.)

*dear Lord please don't let my husband read this..I would have alot of explaining to do*
