Am I the only one that is surprised...


That there are no females on this board talking about how absolutely adorable he is?! Seriously. I've always thought that he was just the cutest thing. Then again, I dig the tall, nerdy, white boy thing, so... :D

Couldn't agree more. His accent's quite lovely as well.

More love for Stephen, please.

I've only really discovered him, but am endeavoring to watch as much as I can. He definately seems right up my alley.



A laugh can be a very powerful thing. Why, sometimes in life it's the only weapon we have.

I love the colour of his eyes.

Found him a bit odd looking when he was younger, but he grew up nicely. Love him with a beard too.

May the odds be ever in your favor

Nope. What's more surprising and somewhat irritating is Stephen's pickiness in women. Come on, he doesn't have a hard time finding a girl (I mean,just read the comments on here)/. I just think that if he doesn't get a Victoria's Secret model with the brain of Stephen hawking, then he think's she's not worth it. Men hold out for their trophy, but it's irritating to hear him moan about not being able to get a girl. Pfff... yeah right.

My wife, Mrs. Aleister Crowley, of the beautiful red-gold hair (who is beautiful AND has a Ph.D. from an Ivy League institution AND does groundbreaking work in her field of medieval manuscript illumination -- so contrary to what Stephen might think, women who are both smart and beautiful do exist) finds him incredibly irritating for the reason you mention. To her, he seems exceptionally arrogant -- in plain Yank-speak -- he is a patronizing d&ck. He PLAYS at the whole "oh I am such a nerd! No woman wants me!" thing but it is not believable at all. He just oozes insincerity. Sorry. It is obnoxious, and the first show of his on HBO was just obnoxious and painfully not funny. He talks DOWN to women, treats them as dumb, and smart and successful women can see his immature *beep* coming from a mile away. If he really wonders about all of this, which I strongly doubt, he could try to hang out with some accomplished women, meet some doctors, lawyers, academics, artists, there is QUITE a variety I promise. Northern California is particularly wonderful.He could also mature a bit and look for heart and grace in a woman -- much better things over time.

Yeah, its a slightly mysogenistic attitude.

Weird, demented beta guys don't have the personality to attract or keep Victoria's secret models.

He is ridiculously adorable. I'm just a little obsessed with him. I hear his voice or see his face and I'm a giggling puddle.
