New Crush: Karen Gillian

I’ll start with a confession:  I’ve been slacking on my Geek/Anglophile requirements and am just now getting into Dr. Who.  Yes, yes, years went by and instead of watching Dr. Who, I was watching Heroes instead.  Well, we all know which one of those really sucked.

Back to the point, though, as of last week’s State-side launch of Season 5, I have a very good reason to watch every episode from here out:  Amy Pond, as played by fantastic ginger Karen Gillian.

• Sassy
• Pretty
• Scottish Accent
• and in a Sci-Fi series

Wholly crap, someone unlocked the secret “make Ryan have a crush on this girl” formula without me knowing it.

All in all, anyone else noticing the trend of smokin’ hot gingers?
Alison Dennisof, Christina Hendricks, sometimes Laura Linney or Julianne Moore…I know I’m forgetting some here.

Watch out brunettes, someone’s making a play for top spot.
