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.

LOL! We wouldn't expect everyone to react the same way to everyone. Captain Jack appeals to me on all levels - not his looks so much, but his character, his style, his history and his manner.

I don't find him very masculine at all, though I know many viewers do. Which is delightful - both the divergent interpretations of the characters, and the fact that I find Jack vaguely androgynous and certainly not the 'alpha male' I hear people describe him as.
