Quote:Originally posted by two: A more descriptive title would be: “From Eyes with Blue LEDs inside to Eyes of a Rotting Jack-O-Lantern on Fire!: The All Women's Club of Firefly.” I gathered these pictures because last week I learned that Jewel Staite finally became the fourth member of the club. Is there a “Glowing Eyes of the Men of Firefly” Club? I've not seen it. (In Buffy's final episode, Nathan Fillion's eyes dripped black ooze, which is the opposite of glowing eyes.) Any comments or speculations why only the women got these glowing eyes special effects? The pictures are in order from least to most extreme. The spoilers are for those who want to test their Movie/TV knowledge. Select to view spoiler: Summer Glau In Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Season 1, Episode 1 [2008]

Quote:Originally posted by lwaves: A fair point that it does appear to be only the girls. Except....just to be picky....Gina's eyes aren't actually glowing in those pics. Her face/head is but not the actual eyes.

Quote:Originally posted by lwaves: This got me thinking about the guys of Firefly and the fact that glowing eyes usually (but not in the cases above) means possession of some sort. This led me to evil, the devil and hell. Nathan was a follower of the First Evil in Buffy. Adam worked for the Senior Partners in Angel. Ron was the devil in a Twilight Zone episode. Not so sure on Alan or Sean though? Any ideas? "The greatest invention ever is not the wheel. It's the second wheel." - Rich Hall

Actually I'd say it's nowhere near to fitting. Alpha had no connection to the devil, hell or anything paranormally or supernaturally evil (which the other three do). Alpha was the resullt of science. Sorry but it's not the same thing. "The greatest invention ever is not the wheel. It's the second wheel." - Rich Hall

Quote:Originally posted by lwaves: I think between us we've got crossed wires. I was keeping the guys seperate from the girls. The girls are connected by glowing eyes/faces in Two's OP for various reasons. That's as far as they go for me. The guys, as far as I know, don't have scenes with glowing eyes/faces but in movies and TV this usually (but not always) indicates something supernatural and often is connected to demons, possession, the devil etc and that sort of evil, not your psychotic or brain-gone-wrong type of evil. The glowing eyes just gave me the idea, that's all. Nathan, Ron and Adam have a connection to this but I couldn't think of anything for Alan or Sean. For this to work (for me) Alan and Sean would need some similar type of supernatural connection. Alpha/Alan doesn't have the supernatural link so doesn't fit in that group. I say again, I wasn't putting the two together, it was two seperate groups. Hope that clears things up. "The greatest invention ever is not the wheel. It's the second wheel." - Rich Hall
