So yeah. I was watching Regenesis lately.
My reaction was basically:
OMG DAVID SANDSTROM IS SO HOT I WANT TO HAVE HIS SCRUFFY SCIENTIST BABIES!
(Oh yeah, and AIDS is bad. Also never go to Africa. Between AIDS and the mysterious AFRICA-SPECIFIC evil parasites and diseases THANKS JOHN, I'm staying *far away*.)
On other characters I would find sweat stains distasteful, but I *love* them on David, and how scruffy and unshaven and dirty he looks. I love his snark. I love his mind. I love his hands. I love when he's drunk and debauched and self-destructive. I love when he's in pain and bloody. I love his arrogance and I love that most of the time it's justified. I love his seeming amorality and sudden attacks of conscience. I love that he fucks up hugely and then runs away. I love that he still limps a little bit in second season. I love that he has no life outside of work and totally separates sex from love. I love that the NORBAC crew is his posse, almost his vassals when he goes off on crazy quests and they trust him enough to follow. I love that Ellen Page is his daughter and Hugh Dillon is his dead best friend hockey player. (Hah, Bruce McDonald just directed an ep too.) I love that the show *gives* him to us dirty and hurting and frequently totally naked. Yay fanservice. I kind of really want him to be imprisoned somewhere horrible for awhile and then have post-traumatic stress disorder and start drinking or having nightmares or something. Yes.
I love how he loves Bob and how much Bob loves him. Hm, it's interesting to compare Bob and David's degrees and methods of social isolation and dysfunction. I love how David takes care of Bob and is careful of his feelings. I love how they cuddle and are totally adorable. Though I don't think that a romantic relationship between them could work with them as equals. (But, huh, a threesome with David, Bob, and Jill - now *that* might work...)
