Marina Sirtis was on Grey's Anatomy tonight.

Here's the catch: I did NOT recognize her.

I was like "oh, who's this older woman in the hospital and what's her story?" and then...

Then she spoke.

And I was like "Huh. I know this voice." It just annoyed the hell out of me that I knew the voice because I just couldn't place it, but it was so damn familiar...

So I was looking at her and listening to her talk and then it CLICKED.

THAT WAS FREAKING DEANNA TROI.

She was looking old. I mean, I know. TNG was on 20 years ago. But holy shit, I should not have to rely on the woman's voice (with a foreign accent, no less -- not British, not Troi-esque, but something along those lines) to recognize Marina Sirtis. I'm fairly sure I'd recognize any of the other cast members without having to rely on their voices.

Crazy.

I had that same moment during Castle while watching Jane Seymour and Corbin Bernsen. It took me a while to figure out who those two old people were.

I sometimes wonder if a 20-years-younger me would recognize the now-me.

Corbin Bernsen on Psych really flips me out...

I'm going to have to go find screencaps now of Marina...

Mind. Officially. Blown. Totally did not realize that was her!
And why, yes, it is taking me weeks to catch up on anything....:)
