How do I like ’em? (Kendra reporting here). I like ’em tall, dark, and handsome. Case in point: Matthew Goode, a British actor who’s done a surprising number of historical movies and looked fiiiiiiine in all of them. He’s tall (I just looked him up — 6’2″. I ovulated as soon as I read that). Dark. And HANDSOME. And he looks damn good in a suit. Let’s be lascivious together, shall we?

The Imitation Game (2014)
Downton Abbey (2014)
As Henry Talbot in the Christmas special, who Lady Mary was all irritated by but turned out to be HOT and drives a fast car. RRRRRR.
what about “he knew he was right”? my first goode fix – before i knew, that I had seen him already in “confessions of an ugly stepsister” (with a shoddy wig that then went straight ahead to cillian murphy for “the girl with the pearl earring”) – and such a tilneyesque charmer he was.
ooo, how did I miss that? I probably blocked it out because I hated that mini-series!
Goode is one of my faves as well. Check him out in the movie Stoker as well- sexiest serial killer alive.
A discovery of witches : I’ve heard that season 2 was set in the Elizabethan era, maybe we’ll get some nice outfits. Anyway, I prefer Matthew with a close shave…
