EUREKA! Also, ew.
I figured out what weirds me out about John Barrowman, what the niggling little thing in my hind-brain was screaming about whenever I saw him.
He looks like Sheriff Lamb (Michael Muhney) from VMars. Not like brothers, maybe just distant cousins. It's in the eyebrows or forehead or chin or something. But the brash, arrogant, proud whack-job of a character that Muhney played it juuuuust enough like both Harkness and Barrowman's public persona that, I don't know, Muhney could play Harkness in an American remake (...that would be weird). Or could play Barrowman in a biopic. Or something. Or maybe because the recklessness of Harkness and the narcissism of Barrowman and the self-serving Lamb all run together in a messy mush of American beefcake squick. It might also be why Barrowman weirds me out do much, 'cause I expect him to tell someone to go visit the wizard.
Plus, they both do a similar head-turn-and-squint thing.
It's my hind-brain, it doesn't have to make sense.
