Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
we don't know how telegenic he'll look after he's patched up.
He's a guy, scars add character.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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?
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorta good for a laugh: Wow, now THAT'S a hair-helmet

So sad. All my movie trivia knowledge has flown out of the window today. And to think, I even subjected myself to Bring It On Again. I will hang my head in shame and go sit in a corner with Balthazar Getty while he tries to bum cigarettes and use my cell phone.
