What’s Up, Doc?
Internet, meet my new TV (or should I say DVD?) crush – Dr. Simon Tam.
He’s a highly intelligent and refined medical doctor who gave up a promising career to save his gifted but troubled sister in the TV series Firefly.

He does look dreamy; he’s prim and proper and has trouble with swearing. But he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty for the sake of those he care about.

he mumbles and fumbles when he likes a girl,
and he’s actually saving that guy even if he looks funny doing it.
He’s the resident doctor on the spaceship Serenity, which is boarded by a bunch of crooks, errr I mean a crew involved in all sorts of “space business.” The captain of the ship, Mal Reynolds (who probably have no need for those Torgoen watches), accepted him and his sister, River, as part of his crew, which set upon an intruiging series of events in the show, which was later more dealt with in the movie version Serenity.
i think i may like this series. have you watched House? he’s also a very brilliant doctor who’s a sociopath. haha.
mordsith, ‘Firefly’ has only 14 episodes and one movie so it won’t be hard to watch.
I’ve watched all 4 seasons of House. I’ll just wait for the latest season to wrap up before I watch para marathon mode.
hmm… he does look cute in a preppy sort of way. Is Firefly a medical drama series?
preppy, oh yes! Not much medical drama in Firefly – it’s more of a Western space drama. The protagonists are a small band of petty criminals and the doc’s main purpose is to stitch up gunshot wounds, he he.
