A question

[shivver]

So this question came up today - my husband asked me and my best friend, "Is Matt Smith handsome?" We both answered no, but the Doctor is charismatic and attractive.

What do you think? Objectively, without considering him playing the Doctor or any other role, or as himself (since from all I've seen, he's a very dynamic guy), is Matt Smith facially handsome?

We then talked a bit more about different actors, and my friend and I agreed on most points. Tennant's handsome, but not overwhelmingly so. (In fact, when telling my sister about him last week - she had no idea who he is - and showing her a picture, she said, "You think he's handsome??") Like Smith, he's far more handsome when backed by either personality or talent. Hiddleston is our favorite of the hyper-popular British actors (neither of us finds Cumberbatch handsome), and that took the conversation into the Avengers, where again, we both agreed that Chris Evans is best-looking of the bunch. I was actually surprised at how much she and I agreed; I thought she was more into the more rugged type of male face. I definitely prefer more boyish faces.

Yes, Alex Hardy was certainly complex. It was a mix of him being so difficult to work with, but you knew there was a reason behind it, a history, and it made you want to give some comfort. It also made you want to knock some sense into that thick skull, but what are you gonna do?

It was a joy to watch the professional relationship develop between him and Ellie Miller, from a point of bitter rivalry to grudging respect, then to outright respect at the end. Well done!
