The Ten Best of the Best...

[fajrdrako]

mad_jaks today listed that wonderful perennial meme, "Ten fictional characters I wouldn't kick out of bed".

This changes regularly for me, and frankly, it's hard to picture myself in the fantasy - I'm happier thinking of them as "The Ten Sexiest People in Fiction". And it changes. For instance, a few characters who were on the list for many years, have more or less fallen off. I once loved Fox Mulder with a passion. But after a nasty break-up with X-Files and years of not thinking about him, the relationship is not the same now.

So - my current ten choices?

1. Captain Jack Harkness
   
2. The Ninth Doctor
   
3. The Tenth Doctor
   
4. Francis Crawford of Lymond
   
5. Aragorn
   
6. Mr. Rochester
   
7. Dani Rees
   
8. Martha Jones
   
9. Methos
   
10. Spike

Captain Jack Harkness goes without saying. The Tenth Doctor is problematic, but I'm being honest here: my intellectual and visceral reactions to him are at odds, and the hormones win. (He isn't even my type - how does he do that?) Aragorn, Lymond and Mr. Rochester have been on my list since adolescence, and always will be.



Spike is the new addition. And I've hardly got to know him. And I don't like vampires. But he is an exception to all the rules.

No argument here. Gwen is cute but SO not my type.

BTW, and apropos of none of this...

When does S02 of "The Sarah Jane Adventures" start? (Just wondering. You know, Sarah Jane never did marry...hmmmm....oh, sorry, what was I talking about?)

Gwen is cute but SO not my type.

I sometimes say that someone is not my type when it just means, usually, that I don't fancy them individually. Sometimes I'm not attracted to a character who goes against type - Lymond, for example -and if I only went for my 'type', Methos would be the only hero on my list. Which he clearly isn't.

Most characters are my type in some ways, and not in others. There are moments I find Gwen Cooper unattractive; other moments when she reduces me to lustful mush. The latter moments trump the former.

I don't know when The Sarah Jane Adventures will start again - I'm not even sure they've started filming it again. According to Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Jane_Adventures) "Elisabeth Sladen has also said she will be filming 24 episodes, beginning sometime in March 2008,[6] meaning that two series would be produced. But Russell T. Davies later announced they were no longer producing two series back-to back."

I'm not sure what any of this means, aside from the probability that we will be seeing Sarah Jane again.
