== Looking good ==
This article looks good, though it could use a picture. Also, I'm not sure about the real-world Chuck Norris reference. JubalHarshaw, could you give your professional opinion on this one? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 03:19, 30 June 2007 (CDT)
:The Chuck Norris reference should go. Maybe replace it with something like "Even Colonel Tigh and Doctor Cottle regularly lose against Adama's glare". Those two have some intense glaring and frowning going on themselves. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:41, 30 June 2007 (CDT)
::Good suggestion. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 05:45, 30 June 2007 (CDT)
:::Agreed and removed—Chuck Norris jokes haven't been funny since 2006. [[User:Philwelch|Philwelch]] 03:39, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

Is it just me or are the feats ascribes to the glare way over the top? I think its effects should be described more subtly. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:04, 1 July 2007 (CDT)

: LOL at my "professional opinion" ... but the glare is definitely worthy of a Silly page. The feats being over the top works, I think. Though a little subtlety is always a good addition, the best Silly pages seem to be a mixture of both. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 07:02, 3 July 2007 (CDT)
::Yeah, some can be good, but in this case it's just way too much for my taste, and moves the page from being silly and amusing to groan-inducing. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 11:17, 7 July 2007 (CDT)
:::I think some of the over-the-top stuff is good, especially the part about the scanning eye. [[User:Philwelch|Philwelch]] 09:52, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

== Picture ==

Would be nice to have a picture of the Glare of Death. ;-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 18:24, 3 July 2007 (CDT)
:Still working on finding a good one. If any one has any, feel free to add them. I think I barely comprehensible scientific diagram might be in order too. {{unsigned|FulltimeDefendent}}
:Is [http://www.revolutionsf.com/images/features/Battlestar_Galactica/Adama.jpg this] enough of a bad glare or just his normal scowl? Or maybe [http://bsgmedia.org/gallery/albums/s309screencaps/bsgm309_652.JPG this] from "Unfinished Business", though that's an extremely intense glare. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 06:11, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
::I'm liking that second glare. Maybe caption it with something like "Approximately 1 second after this photo was taken, the camera melted and the photographer burst into flame." --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 09:43, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
:I think the screenshot needs to be something without a definite context. {{unsigned|FulltimeDefendent}}
::I agree. I particularly like the one where he glares at Cain. [[User:Philwelch|Philwelch]] 08:03, 15 July 2007 (CDT)

== Chuck Norris ==

I don't think there needs to be a consensus on this. That reference is somewhat out of place, as the voice should be largely in-universe. Chuck Norris chokes are also ancient and not that funny anymore. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:40, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
:Consensus is sometimes best quantified as the product that remains after the dust settles after the editing is done. While it's polite and good form to discuss contentious items (especially if an "edit war" appears to be developing), sometimes it's most expedient to show what you mean by just doing it. (Please don't sue me, Nike.) As for myself, while I was slightly amused by the "Chucks" metric, it did seem out of place. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 05:45, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
