The Boys are Back … on my TV

Was it just less than a month ago that everyone was losing it because Sherlock was coming back to our public television stations? That’s mostly about Benedict right? I mean, I’m a Martin Freeman girl myself, but I get it. And if I read this awesome series of posts correctly, there are a bunch of you into these Olympic dudes. I think a few of you out there were pretty stoked about Downton Abbey returning even though Matthew was out of the picture. I guess you could be into Mr. Bates. Wait. You can’t.

^^^ Thank you for validating my fear of kilts as a legit phobia without having to hand in my Outlander fangirl card. And while early January premieres have brought back some of your TV favorites and introduced us to new ones, like Big Dumb Tons of Fun, it looks like February is the month that ALL MY BOYS COME BACK TO ME. Straight to my living room, luvahs. I have missed you.

Walking Sex

Sunday night, our family favorite Walking Dead came back to much excitement. Everyone’s all about Daryl Dixon, and while I do love him and wish I could be his one and only Georgia Rose, I have to say, there is something SUMPIN about Andy Lincoln and his raspy-talking, bow-legged ass. It’s probs this:

Dane of Thrones

Ok, so technically they aren’t back until April (although I will say that WINTER IS COMING as a tagline would do well to get here, yanno IN WINTER)…but since they released this special 15 minute preview, I’m putting them in my list. Everyone has their favorites in Game of Thrones, and I like it that way. Sorry to all you Robb stans …  you can switch over to Bran around mid-season 4 when he finally exits puberty. There’s still Gendry, and Jon and Hot Pie. No wait. No Hot Pie. There’s some excellent potential in season 4 with Oberyn Martell. But the farther into those guys you get, the more it lets me indulge in my favorite. My beauty, my baby, my Nikolaj. Your face is my heart.*

Hannihow

I don’t know you did it, Mads, but somehow you took the most terrifying character (Hannibal Lecter) and my least re-watchable movie series of all time (any movie with Hannibal Lecter) and turned it into DINNER (that I don’t mind having with Hannibal Lecter). Like I cannot get enough of this show, and your face. How are you making Hannibal in any way attractive (not physically attractive, although congrats on your face, but psychologically attractive). I want to be NEAR him. How is this possible? Also, this trailer is scary, and heart breaking and tense and painful, and I cannot wait.

My Mad, Fine Dreamboat

Look here, mothers-to-be of the world. If you want your sons to be noble, witty, chivalrous, intelligent, astute, irresistible and charming … NAME THEM FINN. Every boy in every fictional world whose name happens to be any iteration of Finn also happens to completely and totally wonderful. And Nico Mirallegro’s Finn just might be my favorite.

I don’t think I’ve admitted yet to having a serious alpha male, dirty, old timey time period TV show affair on Jamie Fraser with Ragnar. He loves his family, he does his duty, he handles a giant sword with grace. And you just FALL RIGHT INTO those eyes even when they are drenched in blood. OH BABY BLUES, don’t cry.

I would like all my TV boyfriends to know they are warming up this dreary winter very well indeed, and I appreciate their efforts. However, once summer gets here, I will be dropping all of them like the old potatoes they are for this scruffy, bloody, dirty, ginger specimen.

And I’m not even sorry about it.

So tell me: who are your favorite TV boyfriends? Am I insane for being attracted to Mads’ Hannibal? Tell me it’s normal.
