Line 180:
* Athos the [[The Three Musketeers (novel)|musketeer]] has "azure" eyes, presumably as a symbol of his pureness.
* Subverted in ''[[Redwall]]'' with Ferahgo and his son Klitch, who both have beautiful blue eyes but are [[Always Chaotic Evil|pure evil]]. May have a dash of subversion of [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]], since they're weasels.
{{quote| "That chappie could charm the birds from the trees with his baby-blue peepers, wot? Though I'd hate to be the bally bird that fell into his claws."}}
* [[Erast Fandorin]], a steely, "piercing" type.
* [[Mad Scientist|Ter Borcht]] in ''[[Maximum Ride]]'' has "pale, watery blue eyes"...and repeatedly states that the flock are overdue to be terminated.
Line 198:
== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[NCIS]]'': Gibbs has the piercing variety. Very piercing. Kinda scary, actually...
{{quote| '''Tony:''' His steely gaze can cool a room by ten degrees!}}
* [[Hugh Laurie]] fans make a really big deal out of Hugh Laurie's; [[House (TV series)|House]] has the "piercing stare" variety.
* Geordi La Forge gets electric-blue cybernetic eyes to replace his VISOR in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''. An Expanded Universe novel (taking place between ''Generations'' and ''First Contact'') that depicts the changeover has him leaving them that color as an act of protest against the [[Jerkass]] Admiral that essentially blackmailed him into getting the procedure.
Line 213:
* Lynda Carter, star of the 1970s ''[[Wonder Woman (TV series)|Wonder Woman]]'' TV show, has such beautiful blue eyes that she once starred in a TV commercial for contact lenses.
* The cast of ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' hosts a variety of interesting eye colors, but the award has to go to Jesse Pinkman, who even gets an in-story mention:
{{quote| '''Cashier:''' He had really... blue eyes. Really, ''really'' blue.<br />
'''Hank:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's dreamy, okay. }}
* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the Doctor had nine consecutive [[The Nth Doctor|incarnations]] with blue eyes, which were quite often piercing. Or at least strikingly wide and protuberant. He's heroic, unearthly, and has his [[Genius Ditz|naive]] moments, so it's fitting.
