As a pure aesthetic judgment, this simply beggars belief. How could anyone find Hannigan, a cute enough girl to be sure, but nothing special, more beautiful than the unearthly Fox?What do you suppose he means by "pure aesthetic judgment"? Does he mean a judgment on aesthetic grounds alone excluding all moral and practical considerations? That would be the normal sense of such a claim but, as we shall see, Mr. Thursday's ideas of aesthetic have very clear practical connections.
Not unrelated, read this bit," ... a cute enough girl to be sure, but nothing special ...." Really? If we consider that there are millions of beautiful women in the world and many thousands of them want to be actors and celebrities, is it even remotely plausible to think that someone could rise to Allyson Hannigan's level in the profession if they were nothing special?
From my perspective, I'd add a moral question—although this doesn't seem to be a big concern with Mr. Thursday. And it would simply be this, in the universe of rocks, trees, amoebas and&; should anyone look at a picture of a human being and say, " cute enough but nothing special".
