Sundry Sunday :: 10 more actors and actresses with blue eyes that make me melt!

In honor of the True Blood season finale, even though I haven’t watched it yet, this round features several of the cast.  Also some other people with no particular theme.

10. Daniel Craig

Damn, man.  Craig isn’t my usual “type,” I suppose, but I’m pretty sure it’s the blue eyes that help me be into the rugged thing he rocks so hard.  He’s easily my favorite Bond, which isn’t saying much as I hate pretty much… every other Bond, but still, compliment to him, I guess.

9. Kevin Alejandro

I am honestly not actually attracted to him.  But damn, those eyes.

8. Stephen Moyer

Again, I’m not into him, really.  (We all know I’m very much not a Bill girl, though he’s… slightly improved lately.  Not in a sexy way, just in a manning up way.)  But lord those eyes… beautiful.

7. Alexander Skarsgard

But I am an Eric girl, and his eyes drive me even crazier.  Sort of surprising, as it’s the brown hair/blue eyes combo that usually gets me hardest, but in this case, just… Viking perfection, says the fangirl.

6. Kristin Bauer van Straten

While, yes, I love Eric for largely goofy and hormonal reasons, I love Pam because she’s absolute snarky perfection, and more blue eyes… well, bonus.  (Why is it that blue eyed people, otherwise diverse in appearance, tend to appear in the same place as each other?  I’m not complaining, because of my unexplainable attraction, but seriously.)

5. Evan Rachel Wood

Sometimes she’s blonde.  Sometimes she’s brunette.  Sometimes she’s a redhead.  And each time the blue eyes combination is… well, wicked smoldering.

4. Olivia Wilde

Her eyes are technically a crazy blue-green shifting color, but that’s good enough for me, ’cause they’re also crazy beautiful. 

3. Eva Green

As evidenced by her and Olivia, pairing Daniel Craig with also blue-eyed women is a deadly combination.  She’s just sort of freakishly beautiful in general, but her eyes do that piercing thing, which works with the collection of intense women she tends to play.

2. Molly C. Quinn

Well, it makes sense that Nathan Fillion’s (onscreen) daughter would have his insane blue eyes.  And the redhead combination… aw, why so adorable, Molly?

1. Kat Dennings

I was kicking myself for leaving her off the first list, because really, Kat… well, yeah, she’s my favorite.  And her eyes are, like everyone else’s on these lists, swoonworthy.

Television Tuesday :: 5 pretty good parent-child relationships on TV

None of them are perfect.  But they all have their moments.

5. Alma Garret Ellsworth & Whitney Ellsworth and Sofia Metz (Molly Parker, Jim Beaver, and Bree Seanna Wall, Deadwood)
Except for the part where Alma was sometimes strung out on laudanum.  But, y’know, that aside.  Alma takes little Sofia in after her own husband is killed, good riddance, and Sofia’s family is killed too, and having the little darling to care for actually helps motivate her to kick the drugs that first time.  And when Alma marries Ellsworth and they’re a happy family for a little while (but not too long, of course) the relationship that Ellsworth has with Sofia is absolutely precious.

4. Gemma Teller and Jax Teller (Katey Sagal and Charlie Hunnam, Sons of Anarchy)
Sometimes Clay (Ron Perlman) is a good stepdaddy, and sometimes, well, he’s really really not.  But Gemma is an amazing Momma Bear of a woman.  She’s looking out for Jax, she’s there to take care of Jax’s son when he’s not all kidnapped in Ireland, she’s giving damn good advice and handling her business and being generally epic.  And Jax is usually a pretty loving son.  Actually, Gemma’ s sort of the stand-in mom for the whole club, which just proves how damn good at being awesome she is.

3. Joyce Summers and Buffy & Dawn Summers (Kristine Sutherland, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Michelle Trachtenberg, Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Joyce isn’t a perfect mom.  She’s got those moments where you just want to go “GORRAMIT JOYCE.  YOUR DAUGHTER NEEDS TO GO SAVE THE WORLD, AGAIN, SHE DOES NOT HAVE TIME FOR CURFEWS.”  Also those moments where you just want to go “I know you remember Dawnie being there forever, but she’s brand new, stop taking her side aughhh.”  But usually, the relationship she’s got with her daughters is pretty solid.  They can’t talk about everything, but they can talk about a lot of things.  She grew into being chill with the vampire slayage.  And her daughters definitely love her, which means she’s doing something right.

2. Richard Castle and Alexis Castle (Nathan Fillion and Molly C. Quinn, Castle)
I’ve only seen the first season.  But watching an episode thereof tonight was my inspiration for this list.  They’ve got the parent-child/buddy thing down.  I mean, laser tag, how cool is that?  They can talk about pretty much everything, and Alexis’ way of giving helpful advice is sort of precious.  I feel like they’d be the kind of family I’d want to hang around on a semi-regular basis, like if I went to school with Alexis I’d want to have study groups over at her house ’cause it would be friendly and not stressful.

1. Lorelai Gilmore and Rory Gilmore (Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, Gilmore Girls)
Psh, as if it could be anyone but.  Lorelai and Rory had some rocky times (that stretch of RORY WHO THE HELL ABDUCTED YOUR BODY time around season six for example) but they eventually got through it.  They love each other.  They care about each other.  They’re best friends, and they treat each other like best friends.  And that, that is awesome.
