I've tried over the years to figure out what makes it over that border for me, and I've never quite understood.
Me too. In fact, I would readily acknowledge that, say, Josh Hartnett and Brad Pitt are very good-looking. But I can't stand watching either of them. What surprises me even more is actors whom I think of as actually unattractive for years--and then bam! without warning, I suddenly find them the hottest things on earth. Antonio Banderas, Sean Bean, Liam Neeson, even Jude Law. It's so strange, because I absolutely can't predict it. But it gives me hope that I'm not so shallow as to judge by looks alone :-)
SG-1's one of those fandoms where I like the fanfic more than the show, but onluy because of the lack of science/military consultant thing. They make a great team, and there's lots of potential there. I used to spend a lot of time in some of the big fic archives, although I'm way out of the loop now. As for Atlantis, is Rodney the tall guy? I'm trying to remember the promos I've seen.
