[B7L] Re: Blake's eye

Sally said: But - on the point of authorial intention again - *was* the fact that it was his eye even in the script? Or did it just say 'Blake is scarred' and the makeup people got to work out what would look most effective and work best? After all, a *lot* of what seems deep and meaningful can turn out to be simply what came of budgetary/time/realities of TV production pressures instead :-)

Anyone got the script?

That itself only tells what the writer was thinking.The director or makeup designer could have thought, "Wouldn't it be interesting if the scar reminds people of Travis's disfigurement". Takes more than the script to put in all the symbolism and meaning into a play or television show.
