an observation

I posted this on my tumblr a few days ago. Not many of my followers are into SGA, so I figured I would share it here.

Yes, yes he could. Right down to the (slight) freckles.

I know. I was just watching the show and they did this closeup on his face and it hit me.

Yeah. I was really taken with how similar their eyes were, not just the color.

That's pretty cool! :D

*hee* I thought you'd appreciate it. :)

Even more than that. There's a specific condition with the iris is actually bicolored or tricolored [and for the life of me, the exact name escapes me right now]. If you look closely at Joe's eyes [rough, I know] - you'll see he has a darker kinda grayish ring around the outside, the middle green color ring and then a brownish center ring. It's very noticeable if you ever get to meet him face to face. [Again, such a task. ]

It's something I tend to pay attention to. My eyes are the same way. ;}

Interesting. My sister's eyes have almost the exact same color variation that you described and is apparent in Joe Flanigan's eyes. I have noticed it, yes, but I was unaware that there was actually a name for it.
