It has occurred to me that perhaps I gush a bit too much about Arrow during my regular reviews.
What can I say, middle age has been somewhat less exciting than I expected. Based on my high school plans, I should be living in a penthouse apartment on Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive and have a handsome personal assistant whom I treat as eye candy. For some reason, a career in public education doesn’t provide this lifestyle. TV is just about my only escape, unless one counts the grocery store or Walmart (I hate that place), but people look at you funny when you slink down the aisles and yell, “Wonder Twin powers…activate!”
This week has given me a perfect opportunity to stop talking about Arrow, mostly because CW sucks and didn’t show it this week, and talk about something else.
So, here is a topic for discussion for all of you ladies (and maybe some men too): why are all the hot guys from Canada? Last time I checked, it was pretty darn cold up there, and the gene pool must be considerably smaller as the population is smaller, so why the seemingly disproportionate numbers? I don’t know. Well, let’s stop trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Just tell me who you think the hottest Canadian man is: any generation.
Here is a list to get you started.
Bill Shatner – Hey, in his day, the man had it goin’ on. Any geek girl would put him on the list based solely on his Star Trek: TOS days. All the women were chasing him across the galaxy for a reason.
Nathan Fillion – From One Life to Live, to Firefly and Castle, what’s not to love about our Captain Tightpants?
Stephen Amell – You already hear me every week. I just wished I had watched Hung. Time to find a babysitter…
Sean McKeown – This guy isn’t a big celebrity, just the maddest bagpiper I have ever seen, or heard. Check out the YouTube clip of him playing Thunderstruck and Crazy Train while drinking Guinness. Now that’s a real man for you.
Hayden Christensen – Say what you want about his acting in Star Wars, he was fun to look at.
Taylor Kitsch – I had never heard of this guy until John Carter. He did a great job both pulling off a not-so-well-known character and showing off his muscles.

Linda Hawkins, on the other hand, has been painfully aware of her dork-dom from Day One. She spends most of her time waiting for her mutant powers to surface and putting together her application for Xavier’s School for the Gifted. Visit their Facebook page. 
A fine list, but I’d add a couple more:
Paul Gross
High Dillon, Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars’ dad) and the rest of Flashpoint cast.
And if we’re bringing musicians into this,
Alan Doyle – who had the hair long before Christian Kane did- and his bandmates in

^Hugh Dillon.
Michael Shanks. I get a happy every time I see him on Stargate.
Ryan Reynolds. He’s so mouthy but also so dang pretty to look at.
Well-played, ladies, well-played!
Um, how about Tahmoh Penikett. From the extreme northern reaches …
I think I am going to have to go with Ryan Reynolds. I have never seen him hotter than Blade Trinity and Amityville Horror. Those shirtless scenes? Come on
