Yay! Someone else who doesn't see Sam/Gene! <3 ;-)
I haven't seen that season of DW yet (nor the one before that), but from the clips and images I've seen I'd say that that is exactly the kind of sexiness that absolutely does not work for me. I'm odd, I guess. I can *see* the sexiness - it's blatant, really - but something about it puts me off. (Part of it is the suit, I confess. Hate suits, always have hated them. They are a ridiculous piece of clothing, as are ties. They make people look like made out of plastic, or wood, or whatever. Stiff and artificial and not alive.)
Sam, on the other hand (and Danny Kavanagh from the Lakes, too, to a lesser extent) is total sex to me, and has been nearly from the beginning. And with pics of John Simm, it's similar. The more recent ones, which play up the sex factor, don't 'work' for me. The ones where he looks like 'just a guy', to quote another favourite sort-of-Brit, do. Especially older ones, from a time in his life where he didn't go for designer clothes yet.
I think I'm not too fond of people who are too aware of their sex appeal - or rather, who are visibly aware of their sex appeal and consciously play it up. God (or Freud?) knows what that says about me...
Hi, btw. I'm so scared of catching up with your LJ... I think you're probably the most prolific 'journalist' ;-) on my flist... if it's taken me a week to catch up with amonitrate's 280 entries, how many months will it take me to catch up with you?! *g*
Dammit, am I the last person in the fandom who hasn't seen Elling?
