Early ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, we don't know how telegenic he'll look after he's patched up.
But think of the ratings as we all tune in to SEE!
They haven't said he's lost an eye, and the fact that they had to remove part of his skull to ease brain swelling suggests there weren't any big pieces of skull already missing. So those points are in his favor.
Balthazar Getty doesn't have blue eyes. Right? I haevn't seen Alias in a couple weeks, but I did see him on that show.

No, but, of all the High Drama ways to capitalize on bad news, don't you think ABC would love to have a co-anchor with a big, dramatic scar above his collar, a scar everybody knows he got in the process of his work?
It would be like having Captain Queeg be your Staten Island Ferry pilot. Instant marketing hook. (Ironically, the big knock on Woodruff was that he was blandly pretty; maybe now Maureen Dowd will give him a passing grade.)
(I'm sick enough to want Phineas Gage anchoring the news.)
(With rebar still in place.)

He's a guy, scars add character.

Unfortunately (from I've seen of traumatic injuries) the scars are more likely to be disfiguring than dashing. That is, they'll pull features subtly out of symmetry and push faces towards the uncanny valley.
Jesus, I'm just a ray of sunshine today, aren't I?
Glass half full? Barely a quarter full and that's arsenic!

Just keep reminding yourself, "science may have advanced in the fifteen years since I dated a med student. science may have advanced in the fifteen years since I dated a med student." That's bound to help.
Seeing now that he played Eliza Dushku's boytoy in Bring It On years later.
Actually her brother and Kirsten Dunst's boyfriend.
Now all I can picture is Bob Woodruff in a Xander eyepatch anchoring World News Tonight. It shouldn't be funny, but it is.
Jeez, David, go get a martini.
They've mentioned broken bones, and I think I specifically saw mention of a shoulder blade, so not facial. If the blast was from the back (as the shoulder blade would imply) and there was no significant breaking of facial bones, he should clean up okay. I'd be more worried about the memory, speech, etc. functionality than the rest, as far as his anchor prospects are concerned.

Balthazar Getty. Not blue-eyed.
I just don't get it.
There definitely are ugly scars on men. I just hope he gets his faculties back. The rest is for later.
