Thanks for the clarification, T and John. On first read, whenever I saw the glowy glasses on HR, I always thought “what black magick is he secretly cooking up now?”

Blowing up a building to kill one guy is more of a Hollywood thing… Unless we are talking about a drone strike, that happens all the time now.

Thank you, T. Well said. There’s really no significance to the glowing glasses here. Just lens reflecting the light in the next room, nothing more.

Well, apart from ethical concerns, death traps are illegal. So even if they take down Hurricane, they’re guilty of murder. Not a great outcome for them.

Generally, artists blank out glasses lenses when they want to conceal a character’s eyes, the windows to their soul. It can be justified by a trick of the light, as it is here, or artistic license. Sometimes, as in HR’s case, there might be a more supernatural explanation for it. But HR spent a lot of time in darkened areas, so it could often be a trick of the light for him, too.

We did it often with HR to make him look more mysterious and sinister, but that’s clearly not our goal with Chrissie here. I think we conceal her eyes as she stands up to Daniel and Xan to give her a bit of a shield in this moment of vulnerability, like giving a shy person more modest clothes to wear in a scene. (John may weigh in differently on this, though.)
