snowystingrayFor this fifth and final entry about my fictional loves, I had a last minute change of heart. I had originally selected Westley from The Princess Bride; like Laurie, he fits the storybook image of the perfect lover while still being human enough to connect to. I figured that you all already knew how awesome he was, though, so I decided to instead write about my most recent love.
5. Carlton Lassiter from "Psych"
I think I have already mentioned that you guys should be watching this show, but just in case you haven't been convinced yet I'll go ahead and share my love for Lassiter. He has usurped Wilson's place as my current TV boyfriend (at least until House starts back again), if that is any indication of his awesomeness. To avoid wasting time on background explanation, you can check out the USA site for basic info on the show.
Lassiter is your typical bug up his butt antagonist who is technically on the same side as the protagonist but sure as hell isn't happy about it. He is -- dare I say it? -- something of a cliche, but I'll be darned if he doesn't prove why it became a cliche in the first place. On a show that is determined not to take itself seriously, even the hardass is ridiculously fun to watch. He gets to be mean and snarky and yet it's still okay to like him because he really is one of the good guys. And even if he's the butt of a lot of jokes, at the end of the day he could still totally kick your ass. If that's not hot, I don't know what is.
Okay, I just can't help it... I have to include some Shawn/Lassiter in this post. Love/hate at it's finest, people. You can check out a rather brilliant picspam here: theirloveissogropetastic!
