she's pretty..he's lucky


I liked that very subtle hint the dying dude gave at the end

it is a bit of a mismatch - Kerri Russell is super gorgeous hot and Matthew whatever his name is is like some random dude you pass on the street. I was so surprised to see they have hooked up in real life. But the writers did use that and it will probably be early next season where FBI man (sorry Im awful with names) will have a moment where he looks at the two of them and pauses to ponder

Spoken like a true ass. You lost me there completely.

The world is not based on beauty. The truth of the matter is that Rhys is just plain hot and she's okay, at best. Try reading this:

Dude, this is planet earth. A guy can be homely and still be in the game.

For girls it's a bit of a different story, though, cuz men are way more shallow than women are.

reply

Dunno about that. Plenty of women will reject guys for not been a macho bad-ass even if they are hot, talented, etc.

Virtually no guys will reject a pretty, intelligent talented girl for being nice and decent person, in fact they generally prefer that.

Both sexes care about looks, maybe guys a little more, but girls sure care too.

Smell trumps beauty.

girls , they care about something. which includes physical, even if it not conventional beauty..some je ne sait que..

To maybe a lesser extent, you get women who are not beautiful, but have the animal badasse appeal...they drive you a lot crazier faster than the picture-painting beauties usually..

Anyway, Liz does not really have it on either of those fronts..

reply

Meh. A lot of my guy friends will do a not so great looking girl if she has a snapping gyro. I'm fortunate because I'm hot and can snap pretty well for a teenager.

reply

Cool story, bro

reply

WRONG...you're confusing the character of Phillip Jennings, a dour Russkie who rarely smiles with actor Matthew Rhys.

IRL, Rhys is a very attractive, funny, successful, super-talented individual. And that accent is very charming!

reply

Wholeheartedly agree that Matthew is incredibly attractive ..he and Keri are well suited, and seem to have so much fun together. You don't have to be conventionally handsome to be attractive !

reply

I'm a man but even I'll say he's more handsome than she is gorgeous.

She has a veiny face, a big square man face, a husky man voice, the body of a boy and mole on her lip... Her boobs are like little teabags.

reply

yes, I did not want to be as nasty about it as you have been, but you have listed a lot of the items..

when she drops her pants and we see that boney ass...I usually shudder..

Wut? OMG, Kerri Russell is a GODDESS!!

reply

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment and your prediction of Stan looking at them one day and having that "Ah Ha" moment!

I do want to say that Matthew Rhys "hotness" is not in his looks (although he's not bad on the eyes!). He conveys an incredible SEX APPEAL and charm in his role. And an intense and understated confidence, as most Scorpios (in his real life) are. His face goes from the piercing glance to a smile full of charm and promise.

Yeah, he's appealing- As I'm sure that Martha, Annalise and Irina could attest to, as well as Elizabeth.

reply

Yes, totally agree with you about Matthew...he's very charismatic and intelligent, but not in a smoothe showey way, he's fun and modest. As for his acting, he's incredible! Ha can completely alter his expression with a tiny flicker of his eyes..and can look so sad you just feel for him.
Hope they both win the Goden Globes this weekend, so deserved.

reply

Kerri Russell is super gorgeous hot



aww, c'mon...I'm sorry, she's just not, never was, going back to Felicity.

It actually makes her casting as a KGB recruit honey-trap and ass-kicker, a little bit of a stretch, actually, as does her very frail physique..

reply

I think Phillip the character is kinda boring to look at, but I've always had a little thing for Matthew Rhys. when I found out they are together in real life, I thought they were well suited to one another.

reply

Disagree as well. He's much more attractive.
