Kovac from ER was nice, until he turned into a jerk. Resa from 24. I’ll ditto Mike Logan from L&O. ---

David Boreanaz from the first two seasons of Buffy. Lex on Smallville. Alex Trebek. The captain guy from Firefly. ---

Noel Crane on **Felicity**. Scott Foley’s Noel is incredibly sweet and Scott is probably the best looking guy on TV. I never watched the show when it was in its original run. But ever since the We channel has been playing it from the beginning, I’ve been swooning over Noel. I’m constantly yelling at the TV for Ben to get his damn lips off Felicity and let Noel take over. Gads, I sound 12, don’t I? ---

Fred, from _Angel_ I don’t watch _Boston Public_ anymore, but the blonde teacher from the first couple of seasons (I think she left) --I can’t remember her name right now (Lauren, maybe?). Not the Geri Ryan character. ---

You’re all mad. There is no one to compare to Morena Baccarin from Firefly. Her scenes induce permanent tachycardia. I survive her appearances only with smelling salts, oxygen mask, and videos of the Dr. Phil show. ---

Kes, from Voyager. Before she got all old and hag-ridden, that is. Especially when they had her wearing a tight leather bodysuit… Mrs. Peel. Especially when they had her wearing a tight leather bodysuit… 7 of Nine. Especially… wait a minute. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by metroshane \* > \*\*Brenda, from one of those soap operas…Vanessa something. \*\* That’d be General Hospital and the actress is Vanessa Marcil. The sad part is that I don’t, and never have, watched that soap. I really had a thing for Hunter Lansky (played by Stanley Tucci) in “Bull.” Okay, I admit it…I just have a think for Stanley Tucci. Oh the things I would like to do to that man. ---
