Kirby — it has that breathless phone sex tone again…with distortion, as though coming from an Indian call centre…(but joking aside, I also find that creature distinctly compelling. It strikes me as very alien, an impossibility brought to life — mainly because of the design of the head, I think.)

I find that portrayal – the voice, the motions – utterly fascinating, but for some reason I don’t want to think about why just now. Cold meds, most likely.

I like the topknot, but the headband is so Olivia Newton John. The farmboy shag doesn’t make me dance with delight, either. But oh, my, that physique. And the leather sleeve thing is nice, too…

Yep — that monster would be butt ugly if it didn’t have those eyes. With them, I’d at least consider a date.

EDIT: Oh, that blindfold! Maybe next time…

I loved Wizards and Warriors passionately at the time. It was canceled early, wasn’t it? I remember being upset that it was suddenly gone. And omg! I completely forgot The Last Days of Pompeii. I watched this whole miniseries when it aired! I really wish I could find it again on dvd. Is the gladiator topknot bothering you or the shag haircut? XD The topknot is rather sexy. It reminds me of Hellboy.

And covered in eyes is sexy.

Squee!!!! I can’t believe I just said I needed someone to fangirl with and here you are.

I found Blackpool on YouTube! I think W&W came before V — it did in Australia, anyway.

Oh my god. He was a gladiator in The Last Days of Pompeii. In a black loincloth. And a white loincloth. And a black loincloth…
Evidently it was also the 80s in Rome… [edit: I just cut out a whole lot of squeeing, because the more I look at these, the more the hair is bothering me.]

I never went for Rutger Hauer — a sadly lost opportunity for fangirling, I know.

Alankria — I do too, and I don’t know why either. It just seems a really magical idea; maybe a symbol of vision/imagination coupled with the power to act, as if anything you can see in your mind’s eye, you can do. I find eyes in hands hot, too — which I really can’t explain. Actually, I like eyes in all sorts of unconventional places. Alucard when he’s all covered in eyes is sexy. I mean, he’s always sexy, but the eyes add a certain je ne sais quois…

Duncan Reger played on V!!! I SO remember him! I can’t remember if Wiazards and Warriors came before or after V but… eeee! Duncan! Sexy bad ass! He had a starring role in my early sex fantasies.

And I always thought there was some kind of weird symmetry that my next immediate crush after him was Rutger Hauer.
