Thundercats! I used to love that show!! I set our recorder to record Gargoyles, then was surprised to come home to find them all having been watched. Mom explained that my neice had taken a liking to the show. I'm thrilled. Plus she loves Spiderman, the old cartoon series. I'm hoping to get her into X-men (my sister won't let her watch the Disney princesses. She feels they set a bad example....)
Anyways, back to characters:
I'm not too big on Jetray. He's all right. Swampfire's pretty cool....Paradox and Verdona are easily my favorite one shot characters. I hope both of them come back. Verdona was just too funny....I don't know what it is about Paradox that makes me like him so much.

Jetray is alright, but he's not the best. Paradox was funny, though.
The episode with Verdona was on last night so I got to get a recap of it. My fiance was home and he just looked at me and said "Didn't you see this one already?" He doesn't get it.

*laughs* Guess not. I'm positive Paradox will play an important role before the series is out (after all, he specifically mentions saving the world with Ben), so I'm sure we'll get him back.
Verdona, I'm not so sure of. Yeah, she said she was going to be popping in from time to time, but to her, several years are nothing. It does kind of bother me that she knew she had grandkids, but only stopped in to see if they had powers, then left again, without trying to spend time with them. I wonder if she would have really cared if Gwen hadn't shown powers...but then, she seemed to come around to liking Ben a lot at the end of the episode as well. ...Maybe I'm just thinking too much...

Well, she doesn't really think like a human. I don't think she would have cared at all if Gwen didn't have powers.

That's kind of a sad thought.
How about Michael Morningstar? Poor guy basically gets used as a beating stick by Gwen/Kevin shippers....true, he was a jerk, but I enjoyed both episodes he was in, and I'd like to see him come back again (plus I'm kind of bored with Dnaliens and highbreeds.....I really don't like Forever Knights, they're kind of boring)

Morningstar was interesting. It was nice to see him come back as Darkstar and I do see potential for his return later on. I prefer the Gwen/Kevin ship, but I think there's room for competition there. And I like to watch Kevin squirm sometimes lol.

Kevin's just a very cute jealous guy. He's trying so hard to pretend that he's not jealous...and my favorite shipping Kevin line came from "Darkstar Rising" with the whole "you mean that guy who tried to steal Gwen from---I mean"...the way he blushed there was adorable.

That was a great line.
One of the interesting things about Kevin is that he manages to be really street smart, but really dumb at the same time. It's cute and hilarious.

It's pretty adorable. He knows so much about alien tech....so little about almost everything else.

Oh yes... That line was like, WIN! But seriously, though, the poor guy has lived alone almost his whole life, I can't blame him for having poor social (well, er, in normal situations) skills. I also thought how funny it was that he was such a scrawny eleven year old, and such a muscular sixteen year old...  |

It's funny, but it kind of makes sense. Remember in "Voided" where most of the inhabitants of the Null Void were working in the mines? Stuff like that is bound to build up some muscle.

Yeah, I know... Is it weird that I thought he looked hot both ways? *shot* But for most handsome male character, I'd say Ben. Even if he was short (I'm estimating him 5'7, Gwen is his height with heeled shoes, 5'5 or maybe a little taller, and Kevin is definitely at least 5'10, since both Ben and Gwen reach about his ears or thereabouts). He's only fifteen. He'll have his growth spurt soon enough...  |

Personally, I think Kevin is the best looking, but that might be because he looks older than the average teen. My own age probably has something to do with it.
I estimate him at about 6 ft, but I agree with you as far as Ben and Gwen's heights are concerned.

Haha.
I thought 6 feet for Kevin at first too, but I was afraid of pushing it (but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he can do 6 feet). It's so annoying how they can't just stand up straight for at least 5 minutes together so I can do a comparison. Sorry, lol. I'm a little height obsessed, because my father's side are all tall (my father's the shortest among his brothers and he's a 180cm)...

Lol, yeah, I'm the same way. I'm 5'7" and my fiance is 6'4". I always feel short.
The best way I could figure Kevin's height was when I had to compare him to Lothan. They're similar in build, but the vamp is a few inches taller.
