No Tom Paris?!? My top 5 would be: 1. Trip 3. I didn't watch the show when it aired, so he seems a bit young to me. But he was 22 when the episodes were filed, and in real life, the actor is exactly my age.
George Kirk is sort of my favorite on the list-- I cry pretty much every time for his big scene, which is particularly humiliating since it's before the titles even happen. And he serves as a sort of visual missing link between Trip and Kirk doesn't he? Seriously, line those photos up Chris Pine, not Shatner The guy who plays Kirk Sr.
Watching the old episodes though, definitely surprised by how hot young Shatner was. Even with the weird, control-top captain's uniform he's wearing. And same for classic Spock, though some episodes are more blue-eyeshadow-happy than others. I'd be interested to hear your rationale for Tom Paris, Kelly. I don't think he's a common pick. Are you kidding?? I had a major thing for Tom Paris when I was in high school. He was handsome, he was rebelious, he had walked on the wild side, he was a mercernary for a time , and ultimately he redeemed himself!
What's not to find sexy? Tom Paris never did it for me. Nick Locarno was totally hot, oddly enough. I think it was how quickly his hair thinned that killed it for me. I never really liked Harry that much either. The only way either of them seemed hot to me was in contemplating the numerous slashy moments they had on the show. I can't tell you how eager I am to get the review of "Chute. First: Let me start by saying that, to no surprise I'm sure, all three of your honorable mentions would have made my Top With some Jono in there as well.
I'm convinced you created your own honorable mention category just to avoid both some serious scolding from me at home and the inevitable eye exam that would have had to follow. Second: Paris stopped being cute when he stopped being Nick Locarno. Something about the weird hairline. He has nice eyes though.
