xparrot and derry667! Dean Winchester has stolen my BRAIN!
You know, I didn't even really LIKE Dean in the first couple of episodes. And then, well ... there was a string of episodes culminating in "Faith", and by the point in "Nightmares" when he tells Sam that he won't let anything hurt him, I was just a fannish goo-puddle on the couch.
The eyelashes don't help. I think he gives Rodney McKay a run for the money in the "awesome eyelashes" department. Well, just his eyes in general, really ...
If I were to have a "type" (and being that I'm married, I probably shouldn't) Dean Winchester would not be that "type". I know the kinds of guys that appeal to me, on TV as in real life -- the sarcastic geeks. I'm not drawn to the macho gunslingers. At all. Usually.
Obviously it's a whole different story with sarcastic macho gunslingers with a soft marshmallow center that go all protective for their little brother.
I realize that I'm only up to about episode 15 or so at this point, so I'm still getting a handle on the characters and who they are. What made me fall so hard for Dean, I think, is the glimpses that we get of the side of him that is both incredibly self-sacrificing and someewhat self-hating. As my husband pointed out after we watched "Faith", in the reaper scene at the end, "he didn't try to run away." And I really do think that he would have just stood there and let the reaper take his life, knowing that in doing so the girl's life would be saved, and also feeling that he didn't deserve to live at another's expense.

It was my first fandom really and I was pretty "hardcore geeky" about it. I was writing fanfic for it before I knew what fanfic was (actually submitted it for creative writing classes in primary school and how sad is that?) Turned up for a trivia night at a pub a year or so back and the topic came up just out of the blue. Our table blitzed it and my fellow team members were looking just a little freaked by the end of that segment. LOL!
Anyways, what I was going to say was a) yes, Tom Baker is THE Doctor and b) of all those before and since, the current one, David Tennant (see icon) is most like him. Perhaps, not coincidentally, Tom Baker's Doctor was also his childhood hero. David Hewlett's too apparently... Sci-fi geeks of the world unite!
