There are lots of examples of red in the show, just as many comic books, movies, and other media will use a particular color to evoke a feeling, emotion, or as a sign (or, yes, red herring) to the audience. Red is especially evident in Isaac's paintings. | There are lots of examples of red in the show, just as many comic books, movies, and other media will use a particular color to evoke a feeling, emotion, or as a sign (or, yes, red herring) to the audience.

Revision as of 21:01, 16 November 2006
- Personally, I have not seen anything abnormal about the color red in the show. In the interest of cleanup, I've categorized it to get it out of the Special Pages. --Orne 16:11, 10 November 2006 (EST)
- I haven't noticed anything in particular about red, either. Anyone else? Any interviews or fan discussions about it already? (Admin 16:15, 10 November 2006 (EST))
- I spent a good hour or so trying to think of any examples of this. There are red things, like Claire's cheerleading outfit, but there are lots of scenes with supernatural stuff going on with no red stuff. The only thing red that stands out for sure is this article ... it's a red herring.--Hardvice (talk) 01:40, 11 November 2006 (EST)
- Should it be deleted then? I have not seen a mention of this theory on 9thwonders.com, and that's saying something, given what normally passes for theories over there :) --Orne 01:44, 11 November 2006 (EST)
- I'd vote to kill it. Even now that the list is filled out, I can't help but think we could do the same thing with an article called "Blue" or "Yellow" or "Chartreuse". This is up there with the OMG THE 11YO INDIAN BOY IS REALLY MOHINDER'S DEAD SISTER threads in plausibility.--Hardvice (talk) 17:52, 14 November 2006 (EST)
- Seconded (thirded?). --Fcphantom 17:55, 14 November 2006 (EST)
- I vote for deletion as well. (Admin 18:12, 14 November 2006 (EST))

There are lots of examples of red in the show, just as many comic books, movies, and other media will use a particular color to evoke a feeling, emotion, or as a sign (or, yes, red herring) to the audience. Red is especially evident in Isaac's paintings.
