I am a bad, bad person

[ratherastory]

I'm watching Dark Angel (through Zip.ca, which is our equivalent of Netflix), and Jensen Ackles is in this episode as a serial killer, and all I can do is think "Hot DAMN, he is pretty!"

No seriously, there is a place for me in the special hell. For one, he's ten years younger in this than he is now, and I am fascinated by his eyes, and God help me, his mouth. I'm just staring, and it's kind of embarrassing.

Also? The main character just smacked him in the face and now he's got blood all over his teeth and GUH.

*headdesk*

He still hurts really purty, and he obviously had that single tear thing going even back then.

OOF.

Like I've always said: if he weren't married and I were straight (and, y'know, he even knew I existed, which he doesn't and which is as it should be)...


(AUUGH! His knee just went totally the wrong way. OH GOD THE SQUICK! Oh, and he's crying and I don't care if he's a serial killer I want to pet the bunny and make him tea.)

Don't feel bad, hon. Jensen has that effect on people. Doesn't matter how old he is, if you are straight, or if he is a bad guy. You look at those eyes and that mouth and all bets are off.

It ought to be ILLEGAL to be that pretty!

The episode is over and now he won't be back until next season (he plays the twin brother of the character), and I'm sad because I have to wait that long.

Hee! I know what you mean. I didn't watch DA until after I'd seen a couple seasons of SPN and got curious about what both Js had done before that. If you like Ben, I would really, really like to hear your reaction to JA's later role on DarkAngel, since Alec is a character type I have a real weakness for.

And yes, he's really very pretty, isn't he? What you said about "if only [you] were" and "If only he weren't" remind me of reactions to Ben Browder and Claudia Black on Farscape: gay and straight women declared them both possibly exceptions to one's usual orientation...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Unf. Claudia Black.

...

I'm sorry, were you saying something? ;)

Uh, yeah. Ben Browder is pretty, but doesn't *quite* have the brain-melting effect on me that Jensen Ackles does. Still, I might not kick him out of bed for eating crackers... Huh. I have no Farscape icons. How did that happen?

I'm looking forward to seeing JA on Dark Angel again, just to see what "character type" you're talking about. Is there angst? I'm a sucker for angst.

*raises hand* I'd so be gay for Claudia Black. In like .03 seconds.

In related news, you're all making me think about adding DA to ye old Netflix queue.

HE'S SO SEXY WHEN HE'S HURT! So don't feel bad, you're not the only one who LOVESSSSSSSSS IT! <33333

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am well aware I'm not alone, which is the only reason I can discuss this more or less publicly. ;)

*pets the pretty boy*

[blubird-pie.livejournal.com]

Oh man, that show. HE'S SO PRETTY! I'd be very interested to hear what you think about JA's character in the next season/ the show in general. I watched it when it was first airing, and then a couple eps again when I started with SPN, but my impressions remained pretty consistent (so much interesting potential! So much awkward, awkward writing!). Well, I did have a greater appreciation of Wee!Ackles post-SPN ;)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

"Wee!Ackles." That's a hilarious name for it.

The writing on Dark Angel is... awkward, but not nearly as bad as some other shows I enjoyed and am rewatching (The Pretender, anyone? I love the show, but oh God, the WRITING).

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

*cackles* I totally sympathize. My SPN friend has tried to get me to watch Dark Angel for Jensen - I've just watched some YouTube clips. And yeah, damn, he was even prettier at that age.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I don't know about prettier. He kind of looks like jailbait (which is making me hella uncomfortable even while I can't tear myself away). It's a different kind of pretty!

Damn... so pretty.

Waiting anxiously for Season 2 now. ;)

[tahirire.livejournal.com]

From august, 2008. Can't say it better than this.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

Yes, exactly!

Everyone kept telling me he was in Season 2 as "Alec," but then this episode came out of nowhere and smooshed me into a giant puddle of goo and then he died.

*cries*

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

This post made me LOL and call you adorable. But, yeah? Ackles. Boy's just too damned pretty.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

*blushes*

Damn that boy is pretty. It's just not fair.

Dark Angel is my guilty pleasure, because I really have no idea if I would like the show without Jensen. I mean, Season One was enjoyable, but except for Pollo Loco, I don't own any episodes and rarely get the urge to watch them. Season two, though? ALL THE TIME. Because Jensen is just that pretty, with his EYES and his FRECKLES and his MOUTH and his ANGSTY SNARKY ATTITUDE. What saberivojo said at the top is the absolute truth, for srs. And, um, I may or may not have Pollo Loco on my iPod, for the exact reasons you mentioned. :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed Season 1 a lot, and Jessica Alba and Michael Weatherly certainly aren't hard on the eyes. The secondary characters are all fun and fleshed-out, too, which is a nice change of pace.

I am reserving my verdict until I watch Season 2. JA caught me off-guard with the pretty, is all I'm saying. Damn but the boy is fine.

[anifsemaj.livejournal.com]

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

*fans self*

[mimblexwimble.livejournal.com]

Just the words "Jensen Ackles" are explanation enough. WHO COULD POSSIBLY HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I really don't know. I obviously can't help myself, here. Damn.

[belanna29.livejournal.com]

Is it helpful that in season two of DA we do see JA shirtless a few times?!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

;)

*cough*

Season 2 is already on order from Zip.

*sigh*

[4422shini.livejournal.com]

Yes!
I actually just watched that show for him. It's so baaad with it's terrible writing and contrived plots, but damn is he pretty and vunerable!

[mtee.livejournal.com]

What's that ep title? I only saw a few of his eps.. I never knew he did a serial killer.

I am MUCH older and I find him very very hot. Hey, we all appreciate beauty and that man is beautiful!!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Season 1: "Pollo Loco."

:)

Oh, man, he is pretty.
