Extremely Shallow Question

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

Hopefully I can be excused on the grounds that my brain has turned to Christmas stress related mush, but I think it's just about relevant to this comm. :p

Would you say the Boyz are more attractive in their days of extreme cuteness (Series 2 era especially) or in their more mature stage circa Series VII?  I simply cannot decide.

Feel free to back up your arguments with pics. ;)

Haha even as I was typing that I thought "oh, that's not really the right word, is it...?" Mature, maybe? Even kind of serious? Of course, Lister is always Lister, perpetually goofy and slobby, primary directive of chilling out and having a good time. But in later seasons his antagonism toward Rimmer comes more from a comfortable pattern and "something to do" rather than the heat it has early on. As he gets older he is noticeably more melancholy-- a bit more of the pathos comes through after years of being (kind of) alone.

Is it bad that I'm more attracted to Lister when he's depressed?

Well, it depends if you find him attractive because he's depressed or if that's just a coincidence. :p It's painful to me as a Lister fan observing his depression in "BTE". It's such a contrast to the optimistic youth he once was.

I know what you mean about more mature Lister though. He has a lovely "married" vibe with Rimmer in Series X, particularly in "Lemons". :)

Oh gawd yes. Sad Lister in BTE breaks my heart.
