But Sark of Alias is not pretty.

He's ok. He's got nothing on Spike, or Season1!Angel, or Taye Diggs, or Jared Leto. That's pretty men.

Brad Pitt. Mulder wearing glasses. Ewan McGregor. Even Chris Martin. Of course, Jude Law. That long-haired Asian Guy who played the dead cop ghost on Witchblade. Joseph Fiennes. That hip-hop guy, D'Angelo. Aragorn. Orlando Bloom. Matthew McConaughey! Pretty pretty pretty.

Not to say Sark's not nice looking. He's attractive in a way, but I don't hold with "he's so pretty" stuff. He's not pretty enough to be called pretty. He's just not. He's not even as interesting looking as Methos or (and I cringe to say it) Josh Hartnett. Pretty men on Alias? He's so far below Michael Vartan's level of pretty-manness it's not even a contest They're not even in the same building. Micheal Vartan's up there with the above list of too-pretty-to-be-human. Sark looks like an everyday guy, decent-average-looking but, in his case, in a squirrely/pinched kind of way.

I think Sark as a character is interesting, and cool (in a Krychec-but-less-hot-way) from what little I've seen of his character (not a big watcher of Alias, sadly), but never once in seeing him on TV did I think "Wow he's so pretty." I think that about JM about 9.2/10 times that I see him on TV, and Taye Diggs and Jared Leto every time.

I don't know about pretty. I don't really know that is a compliment for me--I agree with you that Michael Vartan is "pretty" but he does absolutely nothing for me. Nada. Zilch. Snore. Whereas the second Sark comes on screen my heart rate goes up, my cheeks flush, a grin forces itself onto my face.

And now I'm too lazy to dive into what attracts me so I haven't added anything intelligent to this discussion. *backs out sheepishly*

That's sort of my point. He may be atteractive or sexy, but I've read in other people's journals where they call him pretty, and I don't think he is at all. Pretty. But that's not entirely the same as attractive.
