My weekend was quite busy, so this post comes a day late. So, anyway, the focus of this week's Sunday Blessings is actor Ron Livingston, star of the new ABC space-drama Defying Gravity, which aired its pilot episode last night. Livingston may not be obviously hot, but he has an everyman kind of sex appeal; though if every man was as adorable as the actor, the world would be a more attractive place. Over the last two decades, Livingston has appeared in a number of films and television series. However, the two roles he's most famous for are Peter Gibbons, the disgruntled office worker in the cult classic Office Space, and Berger, Carrie's short-term boyfriend during the final season of Sex and the City. You have to feel bad for Livingston for the role of Berger. He gets a romantic role on the last season of a hit tv show, and the character turns out to be the worst boyfriend Carrie had over the course of the series - an insecure writer who has bad sex with Carrie and dumps her on a post-it note. At least he gets another shot at the romantci lead role with Defying Gravity. The show itself is decent, if not great. It comes off as a cross between Grey's Anatomy and Danny Boyle's Sunshine. I wish they'd get rid of the cheesy music, elimate Livingston's narration, and better write the drama occuring on the ground. The show does have potential - love/sex in space and all - I just fear it will get squandered. I do give the show bonus points for having Livingston shirtless a number of times, and showing off his great legs. Seriously his legs are amazing - where has he been hiding them all this time? Amen.
