Boston Legal

It's been too long since I updated with anything fandom related. I know I seem to start all of my posts with the "not enough time" apology, but seriously, I'm beginning to wonder if there's some kind of glitch in the space-time-continuum making time go faster! The Doctor or Rodney McKay should look into that!

Anyway, I have a confession to make: I've been seeing another tv show. Don't look at me like that Atlantis! We never agreed to be exclusive, and you still do hold the number one position in my heart. But, my friend introduced me to this other show, and I saw an episode in Canada, and since then, the two of us have been spending quite a few nights together. His name is Boston Legal. Does anyone else watch it? Before I say more, it's time for a poll:

[EDIT: For some reason the poll didn't work, but I think the consensus seems to be that Alan Shore is hot!]

Alan Shore is James Spader's character, and he is incredibly arrogant, powerful and smart. Apparently my attempt to get over my thing for arrogant men isn't going too well, because I find him very hot. He also has this kindness, which is very attractive...

Yay! I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one! :)

I had to comment on this...I think Atlantis will forgive you, after all...James Spader's Daniel Jackson found the Stargate in the movie, which turned into a series, which spun the spin-off Atlantis. So in a way, you're not cheating on Atlantis. James Spader has kinda grown into his own, hasn't he? I've seen a few episodes of Boston Legal, and nearly jumped for joy when I saw Rene Auberjonois was also in it. (From DS9). But anyways...

*runs back to Atlantis...I will never leave you my darling tv show!!*

This is the logical argument that I was going to use re: James Spader and Stargate = not betrayal. But then you beat me to it :D So I will just say: 'Seconded!'

*goes to watch this week's SGA*

Hee! I love that logic!

James Spader is one of those actors who I find really hot sometimes, but then other times, he doesn't do anything for me at all. His character is very hot on Boston Legal though! :)

Well, I found the show hilarious and slashy and arrogant men are, at leasty on my book, hot, so, there!
And, as [Bad username or site: [info]garneteve @ livejournal.com] pointed before, you're gonna be easily forgiven because the SGA connection!

Oh yes, it's very funny, and incredibly slashy. The flirting between Denny and Alan always cracks me up!

Yep, I have to agree with you! But he's still just my second favourite Daniel Jackson!

[identity profile] tinkcph.livejournal.com 2008-08-19 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)

I need the option that says "not hot, but still kind of". I had quite a crush on him when we were both younger, but now I think he looks bloated and I'm not sure I can forgive that. Me and Chandler are still working out our issues on that front. I still like Spader's character on BL, though, and he sure brings it with the arrogance and hell yeah it's sexy!

In short, I need to see him in action, don't have much need to see stills.

But yes, the arrogance is very sexy! :)

For some reason LJ tells me "you are not permitted to view this poll" when I try to submit my answer, so in case it really didn't acknowledge my answer: Alan Shore is HOT.^^

And thank you for the picspam. *rawr*

Hmmm. The poll wouldn't let me vote, but I definitely think Alan is hot. I watched the first few seasons of Boston Legas, and loved it muchly. I'd admit, I lost my squee for it last season, and don't watch anymore. But it was a great show. :)

I don't know why the poll didn't work. It didn't let anyone vote. However, I think most people seemed to agree that he's hot! :)

For Great Justice..I must say no not hot, but if you have a love of James Spader(Yus I dooo) you will be attracted to every character no matter how chubby wubby he gets. XD

*pouts* "Sorry, you're not permitted to see this poll. is the result I get when I try to vote.

I've never seen Boston Legal, but if you're looking for other shows than Atlantis aside from Torchwood and Dr. Who, Supernatural is the way to go IMHO =D

The stooopid poll didn't work for anyone. :(

I do need to catch up on Supernatural. I've watched the first season and a half, and do really enjoy it.

It's like cheating on Atlantis with Atlantis' grandfather!

I've sort of stopped watching Boston Legal. I need to catch up with that. But I LOVED it when it first started. James Spader AND William Shatner? YES PLEASE!

PS Thank you for the lovely picspam <3

I've watched the first two and a half seasons in the last week or so. I'm really enjoying it! The chemistry between Spader and Shatner is hilarious and great! :)

Alan Shore is just edible.
