when that header popped up, my biscuit went all ashudder and, for a brief moment, the impossible was possible :) Thank you for making my bland evening bathdongtastic.

Dean was nice, but he didn't have much personality. I mean, Jess was a total tool, but at least he could read and make witty comments. And was hotter.

But can we all agree that these two were both way better than smarmy Logan? Gag.

after Ryan Krakow got fat and raped the pink power ranger, I just....I don't even know how there is a contest. I don't think Jared Leto can throw a toothpick without hitting some lady with a craving for some Leto peen.

Look guys, factor in Jared Leto's INABILITY TO AGE. he may be on the skinny side these days, but the dude knows how to rock a pair of baby fucking blues. I have the distinct feeling Brian Gummersall has become a balding albino at this point. if that's what you want to see (and have nightmares about) at night, more power to you. more Leto for my imaginary spank bank.

Oh and Jared Leto is douchey and gross and looks like he would smell like meth and BO. So, no thanks.

"Hold onto your butts" made me giggle inordinately, and continues to do so.

I hated Dean with a fiery passion. He was so bland and the only spice the writers gave him was bad spice. Married young, cheated on wife. Yuck yuck yuck. No thanks.

Rory always had the worst love interests, but Jess was by far the best out of the 3 major ones.

Whoa. I'd never found David Boreanaz even slightly attractive, but that header picture? Oh, my. Just shave that stupid thing off your chin and we're in business!

Also, can we all just agree that Rory had spectacularly bad taste in men? And she definitely got it from her mother, whose only good decision ever was Luke. And then they fucked that up. Ugh, those Gilmore women. We loved them, but they picked shitty men.

Oh, Joanna. Everything you write makes me laugh. I too was an undying Spike fan. I try not to think about him now, but picture him in season 6...yum.

I've always been a Pacey and Angel girl, and this column hasn't changed anything.

But helloooo Scott Foley! If he's going to be getting down & dirty on True Blood, I might have to start watching again. Maybe.

I was watching "My So-Called Life" the other day and I kept thinking how adorable Krakow was. When I first saw the show as a teen, I was in love with Jordan Catalano, but now? It's all about Devon Gummersall. (Just goes to show how dumb teenage girls are, no?) Glad to see he turned out so nicely!

Excellent work, Joanna.

And who is Noel going to be on True Blood...I gotta go find that out.

How about Veronica-Duncan-Troy-Leo-Logan-Piz? Or does that not qualify as a TV love hexagon of your youth?

And how I hated both Dean and Jess... now that I think about it, Rory was really too good for *any* guy on the show. Why was that?

What, did you choose the WORST possible photo of James Marsters that you possibly could??

As a young 'un, in the fits of my lady lust, Brenda Walsh made me have the Uhaul shivers. Bunny boiling bat shut, that girl. Kelly, though? Have all the crazy you want, baby, just give me that mouth. And she's still gorgeous and serene looking. Shannon? Well, bunny boiling bat shit, it still fits! She was cute on Little House, though.
As for the boys? Poor troubled Dylan with his 35-year-old eyes just couldn't hold a flicker next to that roman candle Walsh.

Most of the comparisons are between people who are the same age. To be fair, Marsters (Spike) is almost 10 years older than Boreanaz (Angel). You didn't exactly pick a flattering photo of Marsters, now did you?

Boreanaz will always be the one who cheated on his ex-Playboy bunny wife with Tiger Woods' sloppy seconds. (Or maybe Tiger got Boreanaz's sloppy seconds, but the ew factor is high whichever way it was.)

Marsters will always be the one who fueled my Marsters/me/Barrowman sandwich.

Rooks - I don't know about you, but I was a total Logan girl. But I've seen Chris Lowell, aka Piz, in some work he's done since the show (some crappy bank robbery movie that I cannot remember the name of) and he's looking goooood, kinda beefcakey with washboard abs. Not that Jason Dohring has turned into a blob or anything, but in this case, Advantage Piz.

Or, here, click my name.

"Who gets married at 18?"

I take it you've never watched "Say Yes To The Dress, Atlanta" or as we call it in my house "The Child Bride Show".

You who I liked Rory with? Remember Naked Hallway Guy from her first night in college who loved her but she pretty much kept him in the friend zone? Yes, he later turned out to be crippled with insecurity over Logan and his rich friends, but he was cute, nice, smart - all of the things Rory would have appreciated in a guy. Logan was a dickbag (but I do love Matt Czuchry on The Good Wife), Jess was awful at first and then better but not great, and Dean was sweet but boring and also who gets married at 18? But ALL OF THEM were better than Chad Michael Murray's douchenozzel Tristan from Chilton. GAWD.

MARTY!!! Yes, my twenty-two year old self agrees with this. It's my sixteen-year old self who thought Jess was the bee's knees.

God I love that show.

And as far as Lorelei goes, I really loved her with Jason. I felt like he was the only one who could match her. Luke was okay until things got sooo bad. Good as friends--bad as a couple, IMHO.

What the hell happened to Chris Eigeman!?

I liked Jennie Garth just because she is a day younger than I am.

I would say some of the guys actually look better.

Nicole: Yes, they have a NYC version and now an Atlanta version. I'd be willing to bet an LA version is in the works. It's all the same format, mostly hideous dresses, etc. (for some reason the vogue in wedding dresses right now appears to be underwear corsets with skirts attached: don't tell Mrs. Julien, she'll faint again) but the Atlanta version features children for the most part.

Are your guys kidding? Dean was the tool. He was clingy and whiny and wanted to be controlling but didn't have the balls to be. Jess all the way. He was smart and cared about Rory than any other guy on the show.

Fuck this, Rory should have married Marty.

Dean from season 1 was fine, as soon as they brought Jess in Dean suddenly forgot how to read, or like music, or basically relate to Rory in any way that wasn't 'Why doesn't she love me??' It was bad writing (much as it pains me to say).

I now need to write my own post giving in depth reasoning as to why all the boys on GG are not good enough for Rory. Hopefully she met someone awesome on the campaign trail.

There was nothing wrong with any of the guys Lorelai dated. The teacher was fine, the businessman was fine ("how dare you fight my father after he screwed you over" must be the stupidest breakup reason ever), Christopher was fine once he got a recurring role, Luke was fine. The only thing wrong with them was what was wrong with every love interest on the show for both mother and daughter: every guy must fall desperately in love with the age-appropriate Gilmore girl after meeting her twice.

Logan was the best raw material out of Rory's bunch. First guy was a whiny clingy doormat, second guy missed sensitive rebel and landed on emo douche. The problem with Logan was that he needed a woman who could stand up to him and call him on his bullshit, which is the exact opposite of Rory.

This may be my all time favorite SRL. SO MANY GOOD THINGS.

Felicity: I am pretty solidly Team Ben, despite his asshole moments and her first season creepy obsession with him. However, every time I rewatch, I am surprised at how much I hate Noel, because he is totally my type. Tall, dark hair, academic... and yet... I HATE HIM.

Gilmore Girls: The first time I watched it all the way through in high school, I was Team Cute Dean all the way. However, College Me pretty much adored Logan. He is seriously her only equal that she ever dated. And let's face it, what girl doesn't want a cute boy to call her Ace?

Buffy: Angel, Angel, Angel. No one else compares. If you don't agree, go watch "I Will Remember You" from Angel. Fuck you if you don't shed a tear. When the gentle piano music starts, you know Whedon is about to BRING THE PAIN!

Veronica Mars: thanks to Pajiba, I just recently got into this show and I'm obsessed. I definitely believe that Logan and Veronica are meant to be together - I mean really, does anyone prefer Duncan? BORING. However, I think that Piz has gotten a pretty bad rep for no reason. He's adorable. Not Logan, but super cute none the less.

Ok. I'm done...

I care way too much.

I think in the first season of Gilmore Girls, Dean was supposed to be more Jess-like: new kid in town from the Big City, motorcycle, knowledge of the Girls' obscure pop culture references; I just think Padalecki was naturally too sweet to pull it off, so they brought in Jess and back-pedaled on Dean until, by season four, he was another local yokel with a passion for monster truck rallies.

I really wanted Logan to be the right one for Rory. In the scene where Daddy Huntzburger shows up at Cape Cod to collect his precious boy, I was practically screaming at Logan to tell Daddy to piss off, tell the inheritance to piss off, and become his own man. But he tucked his tail between his legs and got in the limo, and was never as good as he could have been.

Hold up, no one has commented on the first one- you seriously think Priestly is looking better than Luke Perry? Maybe I'm seeing things differently because I never watched the show but from that picture alone, one looks puffy and pasty and the other looks rugged and squinty (squinty being hot)

Aahh, a warm shower of affection for Logan.
(The Echolls-Logan, not the Gilmore-Girls-Logan. Echolls - putting the fun back into 'dysfunctional family'. J'adore.)
And people hate Piz? Really? That's like hating penguin babies. Why would anyone do that? Of course penguin babies are awfully bland, and for all the haircut in the world Chris Lowell can't hold a candle to Jason Dohring in my mind, but who the hell can?

Oh and, MelBivDevoe, the one thing that turns me down about Jason Dohring is the apparent Scientologism. Or is that just internet misfinformation? ... and maybe the fact that he was the most convincing psychopath ever on Lie to Me. That was a tad frightening.

I am so glad for the Weekly Murdertank or I would have missed this. Ditto on what someone said about Spike and Buffy being written to show an emotionally unhealthy relationship. I could never put my fingers on why I hated Spike and Buffy together but yea, that about explains it. Angel forever.

Also, I'm a Jess girl, but it's not because I'm stupid. It's because Dean was whiny and possessive but in the worst way possible. He did it in a way that made it seem like he was the one who was wounded but in reality, he was actually being manipulative. And Rory, who barely has a spine, is really not the person to stand up that shit.

Fuck, Rory kind of sucked too. Lorelai was my girl all the way. And no one here seems to like Luke and her together, but I really really did.
