I'm speechless. Only one word can describe this: Lightyear.

Cillian requested not to put family photos on his character's bedroom?

Cillian requested not to put family photos on his character's bedroom? Yea. He didn't think Capa would have photos on his wall. Capa is a real loner and not sentimental at all...

Y'know, I think I might have argued that with him, just a bit. We have some real supposed "hard cases" here in The Pit, and you should see some of the photos and knick-knacks that end up in their cubes....
It seems, in any case, that it's not so much a question of sentimentality as it is of stimulation: Do I want to be looking at plain nubbly gray walls for "x" number of months-- or years-- or decades-- or do I want something to look at? Doesn't have to be a kitten calendar or pictures of your sister's kids (or, in my case, pictures of my niece's and nephews' kids)....
(And no, I am not one of those "hard cases." I am a nut. My cube looks like the lobby of a nineteen-forties movie theatre....)

I think it came out of his time at CERN, to be honest. I think he found some of the scientists to be very 'unemotional' or, at least, unsentimental... and felt that his character would be focussed entirely on his job.
I know of the things Cillian noticed about physicists when they are together in a meeting is that *all* of them are on their laptops doing something else and when they want to dispute something someone else has said they briefly look up form their computer, shout at each other for a bit and then go back to their computers.
Physicists *are* very antagonistic with one another... Cillian felt that his character would find it hard to integrate with the rest of the crew... at one point he was even thinking of getting the production designer to design him a laptop to be on all the time. Instead Danny shot the beginning scenes without really showing Capa at all to kind of give you the idea that he kept himself very separate from 'the group'.

But you can't just focus on your job to the exclusion of EVERYTHING else. It simply doesn't happen. Not for sixteen to thirty-six months at a stretch. Capa is still human; he isn't "the android," no matter how much Mace insists he is in "The Crew Journals." Seeing, maybe, a few little prints of extremely abstract paintings on his cabin walls. Something that would be logical and hence soothing to his numbers-inclined mind-- and utterly "What the hell--?" to his crewmates. Hearing Bach on his iPod: again, mathematical. He doesn't have to be warm and approachable, but he's still human-- and humans go insane when they're surrounded by perfectly blank walls. I'm back to thinking that we should have seen more in the way of the Icarus Project planning an actually livable living space for these people. I know that the crew in real life packed off to submarines and tried to visit an oil rig: fine. Well, I researched rigs for a fic I did-- and they're really pretty livable now. Good-sized personal quarters, public areas with plenty of light and space. I understand that "cramped, crowded, dark" augments "drama," but it doesn't seem sensible or realistic in terms of a real space mission of such duration and importance. Project Icarus would have hired psychologists and ergonomics experts to work with the designers of the ship's living spaces. Lighting of the correct type and intensity, wall coverings and colorings that promoted balance and calm, all that New Age stuff that nonetheless would be absolutely necessary to the mental health of the crew. I think that blank walls would be on the "not recommended" list: the mission's psychs could suggest decor. You're not always on-task. And you can't look at blank walls for three years. It would make you insane. Which, granted, leads to drama. But when you're trying to save the world, maybe the drama ought to be kept to a minimum....

Well you can also say the Capa isn't always in his room with "blank walls." He's a workaholic. The payload seems cozy to me.

Although maybe Corazon's room is basically empty, since she hardly spends her time there. Hiro said "Amazing" somewhere around the Zero-G, possibly after he hugged Michelle? *ahem*
