Anyone know how tall Jim/Ron is? ;D From what we noticed at the stage door, maybe 5'9" or possibly 5'10" but definitely not any taller than that. But let me tell you about his feet. Very big as to need clown shoes. We were going to drop a ruler on the ground to measure when he wasn't looking. (only kidding about measuring, but they certainly are big.)  |

I have done Ron the service of removing the picture of his rather large feet from this quote. As to his height, I am 5'8". He appeared to be about 2 inches taller than I am when I was standing next to him. So I am saying 5'10". |

Looks to me to be about 6'-6" if they didn't turn him under for feet.  |

Anyone else notice that Jim often does not seem to stand straight and square ? I would have imagined a blind person would want to be fairly solid on their feet, especially standing still, but I have noted Jim sometimes has a strange stance with his right leg a little behind his left. Anyone know why? I've seen it in a few eps, like here in thelast one:  Anna's topic on facial expressions reminded me that last week I found a possible answer to this question, also in a book, called Blindsight by Michael Stewart. A sort of medical thriller, but I thought it was more medical and psychological than thrillering... But it's an experiment much like the Blindsight thread that was started here many months ago, in making the blind see, or seeing things you don't necessarily know that you're seeing. An interesting perspective on a newly blinded man, and the lengths to which the desperate will go... Anyway, page 64: ...He was confined to a six-foot fish-bowl. Scale was one problem. Orientation was quite another. He had, literally, to keep level-headed or he'd end up leaning or tilting and not even know it. Every few moments he had to touch something horizontal or vertical for reference--the edge of a table, the flat of a wall--and so re-establish his inner horizon. Even so he'd be suddenly seized with an attack of dizziness and hten he'd have to stand very still and, by mapping the sounds around him, try and rebuild a picture of where he was. Or that was the theory. In rality, he froze in a blue funk. He'd stand there, paralysed, unable to set a foot forward. If he stepped forward, he might fall off the edge of the world--he might even fall upwards. --GB |

Hmm, "Are you doing this..."
Yes, actually I am.
I think I read that book GB, and maybe subconsciously, this is where my question came from. Jim seems quite "postioned" and rarely, (my judgement here and I'm open to others thinkng otherwise) seems to need a quick fix positioning.
Or maybe this is his being off balance and his way around it?

I read Blindsight too years ago. I remember it had some interesting ideas, but I found it a difficult read. Very patchy writing, not a strong narrative. Almost disconcerting, but maybe the author intended it to be.

In FFU, when Jim and Christie are arguing and wrestling ( she to leave and he to keep a hold of her), Jim is just a tad off balance as she breaks free and runs from the room. Not much but its noticable in that little step he takes.

Not much but its noticable in that little step he takes. And this is the scene where the frames are in the reverse. Part of the scene has his buttons on the raincoat on the right, and part of the scene they are on the left. And the scar jumps sides. This was mentioned however already in bloopers. |

I was just browsing the pilot - anyone come up with a credible explanation as to why Jim would have a pen holder with a yellow highlighter, pen and ruber tipped pencil in it by his bed?  I can usually justify anyting but this one... |

It caught me a little, too! I'm glad you noticed as well  The other thing I wanted to make a screencap of to post in the game--Christie, dear heart, why doesn't your milk have a cap? Do you have that much baking soda in the fridge that you don't need one? --GB |

yeah me too! I mean, their fridge might be like the tardis, everything seems to be at hand, they never have to reach far to get anything.
It might be fun to swap the beer bottles for something else, just to see the drink come out Jim's nose...
( you know how when you are expecting one thing and you get antoher?)

Here's the pencil holder. Haven't found the milk yet. Ooh, thanks BJO! The milk is at the beginning of Four Feet Under: You eat? Nah, I'm good; there's coffee there. We were invited to a dinner party. Whose? Clay Simmons, my chief editor. What is it, like an office party? No, just friends. The milk is in that conversation. --GB |
