Well the reasoning was the round face, was it not?
That's my point, liking a round face doesn't mean you want to bang Gollum from 1987.
"
Elvenguard made a simple statement about Helena being attractive, I agreed."
True! And I did not.
"
If you don't find her attractive in any way, that's fine, everyone has different tastes."
I didn't say that, did I? I said she was unbelievably and unsettlingly hideous
in 1987, and that definitely impacted my impression of her. Maybe if I were you two and knew her personally, I'd feel differently. But since I'm just part of the uninformed audience, I judge the people on my TV based on how they appear on the TV (which is, in this case: the body and stature of an 8-year old with the head of Louie Anderson, eyebrows of Colin Farrell, and Joker's yellow teeth, topped with an extremely over the top and annoying accent*)
(*alternatively, she could be described as an irradiated infant with rapid aging and an enlarged head due to a brain tumor... with Joker's yellow teeth)
"
What is it you want Sed? Do you think that one episode determined everything about her?"
See above^ However, to elaborate, no. But when I see a fairly neutral actress (not ugly, not attractive in any way), she's got a clean slate until I see old footage of her from 1987 where she looks like a female Igor, or Dr Moreau's little decrepit flesh monkey, in which case, it's no longer a clean slate.
Sorry, was that first question serious?
"
Talk about ignoring a billion other factors."
Actually, just a few: let's see, she's too old for my tastes now, too weird, too British, and resembles a pygmy Jack Skellington. Hmmm maybe it wasn't just 1987... but in her defense, she definitely got better with age. You know what they say, "nowhere to go but up!".
