#Prosopagnosia can be a real problem for me in real life. Llike not recognizing Jalan, my now-wife-then-girlfriend even when she sat down across from me in the restaurant we were meeting at -- because she'd flat-ironed her hair.
But also in TV and movies. Something I watched yesterday had a shot of somebody literally taking off a mask and I was wrong about which character it was, sending me down rabbit trails of looking for deception and layers in the wrong character.
This is why I read episode recaps afterward...

@naga Yeah I pretty much pause shows to ask my wife "Should I know this person?" any time a character comes in with a new outfit. Also sometimes when they're exactly the same as they were in the previous scene but the vibe is different, or there are too many blond characters. She giggles at me, but we've gotten used to it.
