is syfy / trion reusing an existing character out of the science-fiction

[ozymandiaz]

here we see
irisa nyira from defiance


and this is

dureena nafeel from Babylon 5 - crusader


they just made some tiny alteration, but that is exactly it.

lets hear some opinions

[JerZey CJ]

Yeah, umm, I'm not seeing it. The only thing they kind of have in common are "crazy eyes"

[Xiiego94]

Theres nothing wrong if her character design was inspired by something else. But they dont look alike except for the eyes anyways...

[JMadFour]

yeah they are both females with yellow eyes.

not sure what else they have in common.

[ozymandiaz]

and the behavior, it's atypical and wild behavior!

[Ookami Soldier]

Sooooo, any characters in a SyFy show with yellow eyes is a duplicate of "show X"? Cmon man, even their facial structures are different. Black hair to Fiery Red - The nose and forehead of nyira is indented just above the bridge. Only similarity is the eyes which was done with contacts.

[Mirimon]

I would have noted the Borgs from startrek, or the bugs from starship troopers.... or the a-typical "mutant" semi organized but insane.. like.. reavers.......

[Ezekiel]

there is a 15min preview to the show if you want to make a more detailed comparison. since im not very familiar with babylon 5 i can only go off first impressions but they seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum.

[ozymandiaz]

there are certain similarities, not that they are significantly high but after all. the clothing style: mix everything, but make it look matched; the wild eye color; the fact that both characters are nature bound spiritual and independentish;

give me a break I am trying to strike a conversation here lol

There is only so much you can do to the human face before prosthetics make it unrelatable.

This sort of thing will happen from time-to-time.
