"Ben Get's Some Promo Gravitas"

ABC is really getting creative with the promo images for Season 5. In addition to the large one that includes the entire main cast (you know, the one where Daniel forgot to screw his pirate peg-leg back on), the images that they are releasing this hiatus are better then the usual ones where cast members are just standing in J.Crew catalog shots. And I like this one of Ben the best so far. I found it at DarkUFO in the Spoiler section (I edited out the spoiler info in the pic for y'all), which came from some article in some magazine.

Anyway, Ben looks pretty good here in all his serious glory, he appears ready to pounce. But as good as this looks, it's curious how the promo shots always look super-airbrushed, and the actors end up looking like their heads are planted onto other peoples bodies, and every character wrinkle has been erased from their faces so that our sensibilities won't be harmed by viewing anything less than perfection (accept for Daniel's missing leg, haha). Otherwise, I really like them! And I wish that I could be the person building these interesting studio sets, I'm really good at that, I bet that's a fun job to have.
