The rooftop confrontation about 3/4 of the way though Angel season 5, episode 7, "Lineage."  Specifically, Alexis Denisof's performance at the end of the scene.

Actually, yeah. In that scene I can see what JB means. I'm a convert now. ;D

Ha, who could doubt that?
Glad to be back. Missed this place terribly!

I'm a fan of Klodi for Leah, but as for acting ability and looks, has anyone mentioned Sara Rafferty, recently of 'Suits' on USA?

I think I like her for Andi.

That was a great scene. I'm pretty sure that's when I started really liking Westley as a character.

Nope, sorry, still not working for me.

Right here, though, I think there may have been literal melting (yes, that's me)

Maybe, but I like her enough to want her to have a more prominent role.

Nope, sorry, still not working for me.

I'm in the Bomer club too, but that might be because I like Chuck and White Collar.  Being a guy, I can't tell you if Bomer makes them melt, but my wife assures me he does.

Also? Lost Greek God of Boflex.

That looks shopped.  You can't convince me that's not shopped.

Having a degree in the program, I can even tell you which filter was likely used. However, beyond the filter? Don't think so. However, if you insist, here's a straight screencap:

Very beautiful picture, NH! And as I said, I like Marsters, just not so much. Pris, that Bomer picture is actually in the wallpaper of my PC, since several months ago.

I am a James Marsters fan.... not sure if I'm seeing him as Thomas though.  Still I'd like to contribute one of my favorite pictures of him for consideration. It's all in the eyes....

Yes, that is a very fascinating picture (I still don't see him as Thomas)

Mmmm, thank you.



He is soooo my Thomas.

...Kay, I'll stop now. I just really like looking at him.

My second choice would be Aiden Turner:


My third choice (despite his slender build) would be Joseph Gordon-Levitt:

...Because he's awesome. And sexy. Sadly not very buff, though.

Different tastes, definitely. For me those two would be "eh...no". Marsters at least have the eyes,

I would argue that nobody has the eyes. Pretty sure silver eyes would require contacts.  ;)

No, no. Brian Blessed has to be Santa Claus/The Winter King.


Here's my image of Odin. Anyone want to shop an eyepatch onto that pic? I don't have photoshop or any other photo editing programs on my computer, or I'd do it.

(I'm sort of kidding about this. Blessed would probably make a fantastic Odin, but he'd be PERFECT as Santa.)
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Until we actually see Santa, I will reserve Blessed for Odin. I might do so even if we do see Santa. However, I can do an eyepatch photoshop for you, if you want.


Different note, Madeline Raith:


And little Inari Raith:



Edit: Eyepatch photoshop:

It's a total head replacement.  That's not his body.  I've seen the photograph that head is taken from, and it's not this picture. :D  Here it is!



I'm not denying the James Marsters is pretty shirtless, because he is.  But even if the Photoshop job had been done more seamlessly, it's clear enough from the yummy comparison images you provided that those aren't his abs.  He's more leanly muscular.
