Aye!!!!! 

Lol! I get it. I've seen people mention TT before but I didn't know it was an actual closed down topic...I just thought it was a blanket name for politics and religion discussions. I agree that keeping those topics off the forum is a good idea. I've seen people start to get close to political discussions and all of a sudden everybody starts getting negative and judgemental. There's a reason these subjects are supposed to be taboo...if you don't know someone well then you probably couldn't convince them to agree with you anyway so why make them mad? Love your examples, btw...I know exactly what you're talking about. 

Just the list of people would be interesting.  I'm actually willing to bet the list of significant characters not called b**ch is shorter.

Good point!  For ones who have, lets start with Mab, Lea, and Elaine for sure. Help me out here...

Actually, I've only seen a couple of episodes of White Collar.  Most of my exposure to him was in Chuck and Tru Calling.    I ... er... I think I'll give Texas Chainsaw Massacre a skip, though.  Eeeuugh..

Lol! I haven't actually seen that one, either...but I know the type of part he plays and I know its different from his other roles so I figured it might help convince people to stop type-casting him as the pretty-boy he plays in "Whitecollar." (I don't care much for gory-for-the-sake-of-gory movies either...I watched "30 Days Of Night" the other day and at the end I was like "now what was the point again?") What was your opinion of Bomer based on his "Tru Calling" and "Chuck" roles? (For my part, I first fell in love with him as Bryce in "Chuck" - a much cooler role, in my opinion, than his character in "Whitecollar.") 

I think... I think I'm going to have to support the Ian Somerhalder crowd for Thomas. 
Now, I know Ian Somerhalder is already playing a vampire but we can pretend that didn't happen, can't we? He'd need to put in some serious gym time, maybe get with Ryan Reynolds' coach, if he wants to play the guy described as the god of Bowflex, but he's got the rest of the look down pat.

It's just hilarious to me that he's being suggested as a vampire since my sister and I have been saying he should play a vampire for years. (And just for the record, we were talking about vampires well before Stephanie Meyer made them hip and turned the entire American teen-aged girl population - myself and my sister excluded - into Robert Pattinson groupies.) Then he finally got picked up as a vampire in Vampire Diaries but I'm still not happy happy about it. From what I've seen his talent is being wasted there. (Plus, I wanted to see him play a good vampire that we wanted our heroine to get with.)

Anyway, I strongly disagree with anyone who says he's not masculine enough. He's not buff, sure but he still comes across very strong. (I agree though that he'd need to hit the gym to play Thomas.) I have to admit, I'm not sure who I'd rather for Thomas, Ian Somerhalder or Matt Bomer.

And for those saying Bomer is too pretty-boy, you've only seen him in "Whitecollar," I'm guessing. Check him out in "Tru Calling," episodes of "Chuck," and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" if you want to see a wider range of his acting. Remember, he is acting. He's just pulls off his pretty boy role so well that everybody assumes that's just him.

I'm afraid I'm totally not seeing Scarlett Johanson as Murphy...she's way too glammy (and tall) and honestly I don't care much for her acting, either. She's pretty for sure and I thought she did a decent job in "The Prestige" with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale but she just isn't Murphy to me.

I agree 100 percent with Robert Downey, Jr. as the voice of Bob!!! His delivery of comedic lines is spot on! Plus he's probably one of my favorite actors and Bob has to be one of the funniest characters ever written. A match made in heaven (or somewhere in the spirit world, anyway.)

I like her voice.  It's not squeaky or nasally, like Kristen Bell's can be.  Just starting to get a little bit of raspiness to it.  Plus, look how cute she is!  Lookit the big huge gun at her teeny-tiny hip!  Awww!

Great!!! Murph's voice should definately lean towards low instead of high. And she is indeed an adoreable Murphy! 
What do you think, Jaeh? I forget if you had anyone in mind for Murphy but we do tend to picture the characters similarly. Does she do it for you?

Oooh. those pics almost sold me for Erica Cerra. I still have my mental image of her from Eureka, and her char. in Eureka just doesn't scream Susan for me.

I agree with you on both counts. I watched a few episodes of Eureka and, although I liked her character, she seemed a bit too tough-guy tomboy type for the feminine Susan. However, those pics do look rather like the Susan I always picture. (She kind of reminds me of Emmanuelle Vaugier in those pictures...what would you guys think of her as Susan?) I think I'm still a Sarah Shahi fan, though.

And as for Katee Sackhoff, I'm not sure. She looks too worn out in the Battlestar Galactica pictures and too glammy in alot of the other pictures. And in my image she has more rounded features (kind of like - but not - Julia Stiles.)
