Sexiest TV Geeks

A website called Angry Puppy ran a poll a few weeks ago to determine the "sexiest tv geeks."
Their results can be found here .
Please note that the original target audience for this poll was gay men, but the word got around and women soon swamped their site. Nerd Loving Women of the World Unite!

My own response:
10) Dr. Jack Shepherd on Lost
9)The 10th Doctor on Doctor Who
8) Clark Kent (Dean Cain, Christopher Reeve, Tom Welling -- doesn't matter.)
7) Dr. Bashir on Deep Space Nine
6) Tony Stark in the recent Iron Man movie
5) Captain Archer from Enterprise
4) The accountant on Ugly Betty
3) William the Bloody Awful Poet (pre-Spike) on Buffy
2) Fox Moulder on X-Files
1) Willow Rosenberg on Buffy (Never mind gender. You know I'm right.)

I should also mention that Captain Jack Harkness on Torchwood (one of the winners on the Angry Puppy poll) is the too hot for words, but he's not really a geek, despite being on a sci-fi show and having lots of cool gadgets. So he doesn't count.

Update: Mark says that Captain Jack Harkness, who keeps a dismembered hand in a glowy jar, is clearly geekier than Jack Shepherd, who has a tatoo. "But it's a mystical tatoo," I whine. "That just makes him cooler, not geekier" says Mark. So Jack from Lost is off the list, and Jack from Torchwood is back on, in the number two spot. But not even the great Jack Harkness (and oh, he is sexy!) can come close to the sexy geekiness that is Willow. Cause, you know... she's Willow.

A few of my favorite things...
