Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."  

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I dunno, tiggy. Padalecki is seriously tall by everyone's account, and Ackles is only about 4-5 inches shorter (unless they have him on a Scully box for every other scene). I don't doubt that a lot of IMDB data is questionable, but I've never seen anything to indicate that JA is actually short. FWIW, and IMHO and all that.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

so says IMDB, but Christian Kane's says he's 5'10'', which is wishful thinking if ever there was any. i have a friend whose brother went to school with Jensen. i should ask her how tall he really is. i really doubt he's taller than 5'9''. he looks more like 5'6''/5'7'' to me.

The BSC at Celebrity Heights (I love the Internets) is 5'10-5'11", with Paddywhack at BSC'd at 6'3" or so.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I hear Jensen Ackles is a giant chicken.

He wears a disguise to look like human guys.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

it's very distracting for me to watch shots of them walking together because i'm so aware that Jensen is walking ahead of Jared to make it look like Jared's not a million times taller than him.

IMDB also says that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is 6'1''(the same height they have listed for Jensen, ftr) and JDM is obviously taller than him too. thought not by much. i don't think JDM is all that tall either. he's more average, i think. he might be 6', but i think that'd be pushing it.

a lot of actors are majorly short. i was shocked when i met some of the Buffy people for the first time.

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

A CHICKEN???!!!!

Art Crawl!!!

Adrianne Palicki, who played Jessie, is listed at 5'11'' on IMDB and I believe it. She is one tall woman. JP made her look dainty.

I still need to go back and rewatch the pilot to see how tall JA looks standing next to her.

Thrive to spite them

Here's a pretty good shot of them together [link]

Jensen doesn't look freakishly short next to Jared.

Based on screencaps, about the same.
