Oh, THAT'S why.

So I'm deep into season 2 of True Blood, and much to my surprise, I'm finding myself drooling a bit over Alexander Skarsgard. The way he looks in the show is often not really my thing, but there's something about him. A certain je ne sais quois. So I went and looked him up online today after watching a couple episodes. Looking at pictures of him when he's not in character as Eric Northman made me go "aha!" Why do I think he's so hot? Well, let's take a look,

Alexander Skarsgard:


And then, Viggo Mortensen:


Hmm. Maybe I'm developing a thing for Scandinavian men?

Scandinavian men are, to put it mildly.. hot.
in fact the only way they get hotter is to get one to wear a kilt.

scandinavian men actually WEAR hand knit sweaters also.. a very good point in their favor

Yum.

I seriously have a thing for Scandinavian men. Rutger. Viggo. Alexander. Even his father - Stellen Skaarsgard.

My first husband, aka, the asshole, aka my daughter's bio father was Norwegian.

Still doesn't keep me from drooling over them Norsemen.

#2 there IS Viggo. I'm just surprised at how much alike they can look! And yeah, TB is a great show.

Wow, I can tell it's 2 in the morning...I didn't realize the second picture was the Viggo Mortensen!

I guess I'll reserve judgment on hotness until I actually watch some True Blood...

Have you gotten to Eric's flashback yet? That's where I really fell in love with him (and the writers).

But yeah... drool...

I saw the flashback to how he was made. That was pretty awesome. And his character has just been getting more and more interesting. Frankly, I like him more than Bill, who, while he has his moments of cool, can also be amazingly emo.

[satyrgrl.livejournal.com]

that would be the flashback I was talking about. So tough yet vulnerable, and delightfully homoerotic!

But yeah, I found Bill to be a complete whiny bitch in season 2.

I need to start seeking out some good slash or three-way fanfiction, I think!
