My god, John Barrowman is hot.

I feel bad for him for having to kiss that icky Marsters bloke, though.

(Sorry, sorry.)

(Moral of the story: never go to a sci-fi convention?)

No man, that's not it. It's *truth* that got you; *reality*, in a broader sense because I never saw any of that, only heard about it...but somewhere, at some time, the rose-colored pearle visions fell off and they wouldn't fit again. I can't even bring myself to watch any clips, despite how hot barrowman is.

::is proud of your subversive post::

LOL, thanks.

I think the moment it finally hit me was in London, watching him in the open-chested black pimp shirt, wailing his cheeseball teenage boy crap lyrics, obviously believing himself to be REALLY HOT SHIT, and me realizing that I COULD BE EXPLORING LONDON and instead I am watching the Second Coming of Hasselhoff.

I think you realized it before I did. Maybe you were around him more, since you worked more cons. I think his ickiness just rubs off the more you're around him.

I feel like I should make a vid of the scene for you with someone else's head pasted over Marsters. Because Barrowman seriously is hot in it.

I keep trying to figure out the exact moment, for me. I think the turning point was my first D*C next to him all day and then that concert, and the pinnacle was definitely London. Just thank god we buggered off and saw cool stuff.

I think Leslie and you have me convinced to watch it, if for the Barrowman hotness. But only once, since I have this feeling my proclivity for rubbernecking the macabre will leave me with ickeddnez in my branes.

That's exactly it, right there in a nutshell. I'm sure if I hadn't been witness to some of his more, how shall I put this, not exactly sane moments, then perhaps I wouldn't hate the fact that he's in my shiny new fandom. But alas, it is what it is.

But dude, Barrowman is still hot. Watch the clips.

I think you might have convinced me. Now, I have to figure out which one, because I'm not watching it over and over, lol

LOL. Just this:

the silhouette gave me seizures (after my laughter). i did try to make my eyes go left, though.

on the upside? the fighting was sexy and much of it was sort of shadowy, so definitely not as squicky.

Oh yeah. I think the actual moral is "never meet your idols; they'll only disappoint you." Which I already knew, so I'm kicking myself for falling into the trap again with Marsters. >:(
