Really though, she's just not that attractive, and there's something about that goofy grin that is seriously unsettling. Trying to call her a 'genre babe of the week' seems a little bit of a stretch when the average Stargate episode has two random villagers that look better than her.

People have different tastes to you. As I just said, I voted thumbs up for Parker Posey when I think she got a fairly bad score.

Some men like older women, some men like blondes, some men like short women.

52% of people give this woman the thumbs up, what in god's name would it take them to vote even 'sideways'? It reminds me of the people calling Enterprise and Voyager 'Excellent' each week no matter how horrible the episode was.

That's largely because there are more than a few people on this board who happened to like Voyager and Enterprise. Both series have active forums on this board.

Thumbs up for the hot quirkiness.

And I just can't take anyone seriously who has that many smilies in their sig.

For those disposed to negativity against blondes here's a dark-haired Elizabeth Mitchell in Frequency:

I didn't realize she was in Frequency! Those dark locks definitely up her in the already hotness of my hotness scale. For those who hate her grin, well {shrug}, that's your problem. Her gaze and that smile are warm and inviting to me.

Come on, "thumbs up" - "thumbs down"?...

But would there be a problem voting Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down for somebody's singing voice, or musical ability, or athleticism, or writing ability, or cartooning skills, or directorial talent, or anything else? Why should beauty or sexuality be any different?

But I didn't say I disapprove anyway.

That's cool. It's still a valid topic for conversation, though.

I'm a woman and I don't find it offensive to women.... *shrugs*

[RJDiogenes]

Nor do I find the "Hunk" Threads offensive; the latest one should be ample evidence of that.

^ Didn't you know? Only women who find things offensive speak on behalf of every woman.

It's like the Native American groups offended by sports mascots. The ones who aren't offended don't count.

[Mr Pointy Ears]

voted.

It's always amusing when one person believes they speak on behalf of billions; or that rationalism and common sense don't count.

She does look better as a brunette. Much better.

QFT.

[Skywalker]

I think she looks great either way. I'm curious to see how she'd look with red hair.

For the record, I'm only talking about comments like this:

This chick? They could cast her as the Joker to replace Heath Ledger, and save on the makeup.

Not these threads (babe or hunk) in general. Nothing disrespectful about appreciating beauty, it's just that if you don't appreciate a particular person's beauty there's no need to be rude about it.

Well this just got a LOT more interesting!



I could watch hot brunettes put on nylons all day long.
