Objectify 'em...

I'm still upset at being robbed of the chance to watch an all new Supernatural last Friday. So to make myself feel better, I decided to do something fun. Sometimes last week, my google alert notified me this reader's poll result of the "Hottest Prime time TV Hunks List" (of which Jensen scored 6th place, and Jared is in 8th). Ha! This got me ( Read more... )

I think everyone should make such a list so others can expand their horizon. :D

Ooh, but Simon Baker!!! \o/ I always think he's going to be great playing side by side with Jensen. In fact, I thought I could love Castiel character if it were played by him. :D

And of course. Jensen. *sighs quietly*

Thank you for the wonderful list and the engaging descriptions. :D

Awww, thank you hon! I would love to see your list. ;p

*sigh* Simon Baker! Too bad SPN is too small a pond to attract him, AND it's very likely CW would think he's too old for their network *snickers*. But man, I just love his screen presence.

Speaking of Simon, have you checked out "The Mentalist"? I confess I like TM far less than TG, but TM is very popular here.

Heh! A great chart!
What can I say? I definitely second #10, 4 and 2-1 :)))))
Actually, I would've fathomed there might be a tie between # 2 and 1. But given Jensen's Dean is still a work in progress and there's still *more* goodness to come (angst-, drama- and comedy-wise) your distribution totally makes sense, methinks.

Btw, when tentatively exposed to BSG by yours truly, my mom was also all about Helo. Maybe, that's a 'mom' thing? *g*

Thank you my dear! Hee, #6 didn't do it for you, huh? ;)

I confess my adoration for #1 and #2 are pretty comparable, although with slightly emphasis on different aspects. In my opinion, both men are quite good looking (and neither are flawless, thank God), but I think Jensen is more classically "pretty". Gosh, both of them are so talented in their own ways. In some sense, I see their actings are on the opposite side of the spectrum: for Jamie, I see him as the "intelligent" actor. He approaches his character analytically almost, making very conscious and smart decisions on how to enact the role. Whereas Jensen, I see him as the "intuitive" actor. I think he has an innate sensibility about the character he plays. I almost feel he doesn't think about how to play the role, he becomes the role that he plays while in front of the camera.

LOL about our moms. Hmmm, that's really funny! ♥

Well yeah, I have great respect for James Callis as an actor and do appreciate the significance of Baltar within the BSG narrative, but I could never quite get on board with the story of his redemption. Not until the very last episode, anyway.

I completely agree with your take on Jamie's and Jensen's respective acting styles - intellectual vs. intuitive. Which are viable in their own right and oh my, doest it provide for some incredible results! My inner fangirl is still harboring sekrit hopes to see the play against each other someday. They do badass, emotion and angst differently yet oh so beautifully.

This. Totally agree on that. IMHO Baltar is so unapologetically amoral, and operates entirely on his unabashed self-interest (albeit survival instinct) that despite the occasional flaring of conscience, I don't consider him redeemed until the very last. But then again, I'm also having a lot of problem with how the end played out (at this moment of my life), so I'm still not quite 100% clear he is after all.

Heh, believe me, you are not the only one who holds that sekrit hope! *points downward at Mick's comment* You see, we all share that wish. ;p

I like your list much better than the other one (except for Jamie Bamber, who does nothing for me.)

The other list - LOL - David Boreanaz as number 1. What can I say!

Also, I can't possibly imagine that anyone thinks that the guy who plays Stefan on VP is hotter than Jensen. That is just so wrong! I find him so unhot that the basic premise of the show, that Elana is into him, makes negative sense to me. (Except of course the poster thinks that David Boreanaz is no. 1, so yeah, his taste is consistent!)

:o)

LOL, I understand. FWIW one of my girl friends and my mom both looked at me askance when I told them I really liked "Apollo" from BSG (on separate occasions).

IKR?! David Boreanaz as number 1?!? I had to double check the listing to make sure the order wasn't reversed. Heh, I also think that Stefan dude has nothing on Jensen nor Jared. Last season I watched a little bit of VD when it was shown before SPN, and I just couldn't get into it AT ALL. Not only I didn't think the leads were good looking, I thought their acting were only so-so at best.

So aside from Jamie Bamber, our tastes run pretty closely, it seems. ;)

I'm upset too darling but I now can't wait. I read some spoiler stuff too and I love it before having seen it.

I know sweetie, the blurbs I heard about the episode are so tantalizing! Which of course made me even more mad at CW. I can't wait for this Friday. Although I kinda wonder since the Canadians are airing the episode tonight, would the episode DL be available online before it is even shown here.

Did they actually air it yesterday? Do we know for sure?

Oh, man, I loved Johnny Depp back in his "21 Jump Street" days! I had his pic on my wall! You're right...who would have ever thought that "Tommy Hanson" would be the star he is today???

Tahmoh--he never really did anything for me on BSG, but meeting him in person...he's a hottie!

I totally forgot about Michael from USA's (I think that was the channel) "Nikita." I would watch the show with my dad, but I have to admit watching it for Michael.

That's a tough choice between Jamie and Jensen. I do agree with what you said above about how Jamie is more intellectual with his roles and Jensen in more intuitive. Either way, I think they both make their characters feel "real," and I enjoy both of their performances. I was also shocked the first time that I heard Jamie in his British accent.

Could you imagine Jamie and Jensen on screen together??? I think the hotness would melt my TV!!!!!

IKR?!? Hee, 21 Jump Street. Back then, I was still struggling with learning English, but oh boy, how I loved that show. *g*

OMG! I didn't know you've met Tahmoh in person! Was it at Dragon*Con? How different or alike was he compared to Jamie? I still remember how Bradley Thompson and his wife kept talking about how smart Tahmoh is because he reads so much. I wonder if he's as articulate as Jamie? Gosh, I wish I could be a fly on the wall to listen to these BSG costars carry a discussion!

Hehe, re Jamie and Jensen on screen together: *points to comment above* You are not alone! And of course you know how I feel about that in particular. ;p

Yep, I met him at DragonCon. I remember thinking he was alot more slender in person that he seemed on the show (I also met James Callis there, and he's alot smaller than he seemed on the show). Honestly, I don't remember a whole lot (it's been a couple of years). From what I do remember, he was articulate, but I can't say if he was as articulate as Jamie. He was really nice--I got my pic taken with him at the signing tables (most of them that year were taking donations to different charities, and if you donated as little as $1, you could get your pic taken with them without getting the autograph; I can't remember what his charity was, though). We weren't sure if the first pic would come out good, so he told us to take a couple more (of course, he had to bend down ALOT so we both could be in the pic). He seemed to have a very warm personality--he took his time talking with us ( ... )

Michael Hogan! You are so lucky to meet him. I myself never had the pleasure, but boy, how wonderful would it be to see him in person. Sounds like he's the polar opposite of the crusty Colonel Tigh!

*sigh* Of course, I'm still jealous at Smallvile for landing him as their guest star. Nothing against Supernatural's stellar guest stars (hello, Julian Richings and Mitch Pileggi), but I would love love love it if Michael Hogan would make an appearance too!

I agree with BSG being once in a lifetime, even for the viewers. Although I'm so exasperated with its season 4.5, I still think the show is phenomenal.
