saffic: Blame, Blame, Who to Blame?

Ive been a Bad Boy fan for as long as I can remember. But, who can I actually give credit to for enlightening me into the greatness that is the realm of the bad boyish? Or, more to the point, who can I blame?

Ive thought about it and Ive narrowed it down to two culprits (for now). The most scandalous, sexy, dark, interesting, and amazing bad boys of all time, Cole Turner from Charmed and Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

I started by watching T.V. Series first, so the temptation to the dark side has been strong long before I ever hit the shelves. And ever since then, the list has only grown even bigger, and ever tempting.

Our first culprit...

Let's start with the basic information first shall we? I first met Cole Turner in the premier of Charmed season 3 as he enters the lives of the Halliwell sisters, and mine. At the beginning of the episode he is but a simple lawyer, and as he meets the younger of the Halliwell sisters, Phoebe, the attraction is instantaneous and undeniable. From the beginning you just know this romance will take away your breath.

A bit later Piper freezes a room and imagine the relief we feel when Cole freezes along with everybody else, hurray! Phoebe found a human guy who is smexy and totally awesome... or so we think. He only pretends to freeze and then and there we find out that he is a demon (because he then moves when the sisters aren't around and kills the judge), he is bad, he is handsome, and he is out to get the sisters. All the pre requisites to become our baddest-most-desired-bad-boy ever. Not to mention the passionate love that later blooms with Phoebe...

Cole is just, awesome. He is continuously on the brick to either become evil or good. The uncertainty we feel only makes the attraction grow deeper. Right until the sixth season he dances around the paths of good and evil, ultimately going insane.

When he left the series on season five (oh, come on Charmed is OLD, this is old spoiler) I stopped watching Charmed. Months went pass, till I decided that I might as well finish the damn series. So I put on my black dress and watched the rest of season 5 without really paying attention. I was still mourning. In my heart, Charmed needed Cole to succeed. Actually, the series got kinda ugh after he died, his character wasn't only dark and charming, but he brought a LOT more material to the series with the constant fear of his loyalty and his power.

Now, pictures?
