Three and a half minutes into the third episode of Life:

So Charlie Crews is kind of like Benton Fraser, if Fraser were a) American and b) overtly crazy. Or. If everyone around him were actually aware of how overtly crazy he was. Or. If everyone around him cared how overtly crazy he was. Or

I was kind of hoping there was some reason beyond "But he's just so pretty."

But, yeah. Damian Lewis. ♥

I think part of it, also, is that to the extent that it seems like Fraser is enjoying himself, the joke is on everyone else (everyone who falls for his Mountie facade, everyone who doesn't understand what he understands). Charlie is aware that the joke is on him as much as anyone, possibly more so, and he is laughing at all of it.

Also, huh. I think I've actually only ever seen Damian Lewis in Band of Brothers, but that was enough to cause me to bond to him pretty firmly. OH WINTERS. ♥

...It is possible that my desire to stab him in the face leads me to be a trifle uncharitable when characterizing Benton Fraser.

Possibly.

OTOH, Damian Lewis and Charlie Crews = ♥♥♥♥♥
