poll results
A very happy birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aelora!
Since I'm sure you've all been dying to know which was my real opinion, I'll reveal all in this post. The most popular vote was "Lana Lang would win in a hair-off with John Sheppard." Now, I'll have to admit, that was a bit of a trick response, because even though I said that very thing in my comments the day before, I don't think Lana actually would win in a hair-off with John Sheppard; I just think she ought to win. When you combine (a) the massive popularity of SGA in general, and John Sheppard in particular (there is actually a mood theme entirely centered on Sheppard's hair!) with (b) the unpopularity of Lana, my guess is that Lana wouldn't win. So that statement was false.
Though, to be fair, I should do a little scientific study here. In case you need visuals, here is a good Lana hair shot and a good Sheppard hair shot (in my opinion, anyway); what do you think?
[Poll #761508]
If anyone has better hair pictures of either party, feel free to drop them in the comments. Honestly, I spent hours looking for a Sheppard pic that didn't just look messy, and since I'm not in SGA fandom I was probably looking in the wrong places. And I'm particular partial to the wavier hair Lana was sporting late in season 5, but if anyone has better pics I'd appreciate them.
The second most popular poll result was "Brandon Routh is a better Clark Kent than Tom Welling." And since I *also* said that last week in my journal, I can see why people voted that way. But I only kind of half agree with that, if I'm being completely honest. I do love Routh's sweet and dorky Clark Kent, and that's definitely the type of Clark Kent closest to my heart--but Routh's Clark Kent couldn't possibly be in love with Lex. And I've spent too long invested in Welling's angsty Clark to really allow him to be displaced so easily. And he's the one in love with Lex, and Clex is my favorite version of the Superman myth.
So which statement was true? I like Lexana, but not better than Clex! And sorry, but while I enjoyed Kevin Spacey's Luthor, I didn't get the impression that he was really that big in the brains department. Even now, at only half evil, I'm pretty sure MR's Lex could beat him with one hand tied behind his back. (MR's Lex would definitely not have let Parker Posey screw him over--he knows better than to trust love interests!!) And I know no one on my flist who actually reads my journal thinks I like SGA better than SV.
SO, now you know the truth: I think Stephen Colbert is a sexy, sexy man. Even more than Jon Stewart. This is actually true. I don't get to watch his show that much, because normally I'm in bed by 11, but lately I've been watching the rebroadcasts at 8:30 and wondering how I ever lived without them. And that's the WORD.
