see they were all a bit obvious handsome serenity

they weren't tiny bleached men with a bad wardrobe

I still don't understand why it worked

James Marster is rather short iirc, clever shooting I'd imagine. I agree that the Jack/John picture isn't the most flattering (I think he looks better with unnatural Spike hair too), but it's the only promo photo that I can find atm. He looked very lush in the TW trailer however.

did anyone ever watch David Beororeiareaioxa in Bones?

that was a terrible series

we watched it out of affection for about 2 episodes but Jaysus, it was bad

oooooh. oooooooooh. [thud]

serenity · 05/01/2008 15:23

Why what worked? Evil Spike being swoonworthy or Firefly?

MrsBadger · 05/01/2008 15:24

me too, Capp

made me realise quite how much of the attraction was the Angel brooding-hero complex and little to do with his appearance - he wasn't nearly so watchable as a smart-arse cop

fishie · 05/01/2008 15:25

i never liked david b, gorilla brow. always spikey for me.

serenity · 05/01/2008 15:27

OI! DON'T HAVE A GO AT BONES TOO!

Having a go at Firefly and slating the rather splendid Bones. I could start giving you the evil eye young lady [insert worked up geek emoticon here]

Cappuccino · 05/01/2008 15:29

it was that woman in Bones

she was unbelievably unbelievable

all that dreamy staring at bits of broken bits she did, like some bizarre quasi-intellectual Ophelia

and her little friends

they were all annoying

DB was fairly shite in Valentine though, I'll grant you that

Cappuccino · 05/01/2008 15:30

I didn't get to see firefly so can't trash it - that wasn't me

I did see Serenity though and that was good

Serenity - I loved Firefly, I thought it was madness that it wasn't a hit - BUT those guys were just so...I don't know...boring to look at? The whole vibe was kind of sexy but still, nada in the loins department.

SpikeandDru · 05/01/2008 15:34

Cannot wait to see JM and JB together. Luurve Spike - oh that voice.

Just watching the first season of Angel and he makes an appearance there too.

serenity · 05/01/2008 15:34

If you only saw two episodes though.......it did improve as it went on, and they stopped trying to make Bones quite so out of touch which made her less irritating. I love it, but then I like CSI type things anyway, plus I like the whole Mulder and Scully thing they now have going with Bones and Booth, and once you get to know the squints, they become quite endearing really.

PrismManchip · 05/01/2008 15:34

I am shallow though
Give me a fake English accent and a swishy coat...

Cappuccino · 05/01/2008 15:35

heheheeheheheh

DH knows I dislike Torchwood .. only because it could have been so much better not because it's that bad ... but even he said yesterday 'oh Spike is in Torchwood' and smiled at me knowingly

Twiglett · 05/01/2008 15:36

and then he said "I hope he doesn't attempt a Welsh accent"

does he?

PrismManchip · 05/01/2008 15:36

(Yes hello!)

Cappuccino · 05/01/2008 15:37

lol at Welsh accent

now that would be worth watching

OP posts:
serenity · 05/01/2008 15:38

LOL, Welsh Spike would be interesting.

Twiglett · 05/01/2008 15:40

agree for some reason not enough loins in Firefly .. Serenity was fab, Firefly got better through the series

Bones .. the female lead was supposed to be emotionally closed down due to childhood experiences and possibly asperger traits .. it grows on you does Bones

Spike ahem James is so much better with the peroxide

Divvy · 05/01/2008 15:41

Yes, cos the fake English speaking Spike is bad enough!

Divvy · 05/01/2008 15:42

British even!

serenity · 05/01/2008 15:47

Actually with Firefly I always always liked Nathan Fillion (liked him being evil in Buffy too) it was only on maybe the 4th or 5th viewing of my Firefly DVDs that I noticed the hotness of Jayne (and I think I saw Adam Baldwin in something else, Stargate maybe) Simon is a bit cleancut in the series but, there's a definite improvement in Serenity.
