Talk:Adama Glare/Archive 1

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? --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 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. --Serenity 05:41, 30 June 2007 (CDT)

Good suggestion. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 05:45, 30 June 2007 (CDT)

Agreed and removed—Chuck Norris jokes haven't been funny since 2006. 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. --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. 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. --Serenity 11:17, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

Picture

Would be nice to have a picture of the Glare of Death. ;-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 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. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FulltimeDefendent (talk • contribs).

Is this enough of a bad glare or just his normal scowl? Or maybe this from "Unfinished Business", though that's an extremely intense glare. --Serenity 06:11, 14 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. --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. --Steelviper 05:45, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
