I would have to agree with about ninety percent of these, except substituting Jack for Vaughn. ;-) But this illustrates one of the more amazing things about Alias, in my opinion. Most of the characters are not classically handsome. Some are even downright ugly. But their acting ability and the scripts give them immense charisma. And may I ask a not exactly on topic question--who was Jack supposed to have killed? I can't for the life of me place the name attached to the DNA!

So how's the plot bunny coming? Not nagging or anything. ;-)

I waffled between Vaughn and Jack, I really did. On both counts. In the end I picked Vaughn for "identify with" because he's the character who speaks to me all the time when I'm writing fic, so there must be something in it. And then I picked Jack for "found attractive" because I'd already used Vaughn and you're supposed to not re-use characters if possible.

But actually there's nobody on Alias that I crush on. I love a whole bunch of the characters to pieces, but I don't find myself looking up pictures of them in my spare time (except to make LJ icons). Jack is growing on me, though, admittedly...

Steven Haladki was a really irritating weasel-faced character from last season who hung around at old CIA HQ. For several episodes he plagued Vaughn with allegations that his feelings for Sydney were unprofessional, and seemed to be on a campaign to cut Vaughn out of the loop. Then it turned out he was really a mole for Khasinau (Irina's ex-second-in-command) and had betrayed Will and Sydney (including telling K. that Syd was a double agent). So he incurred The Wrath of Jack.

Ah, thank you. I do remember him now, although I couldn't remember the character's name. I need to work harder on keeping all the plot twists straight.
