[OOC] Persistence of Memory, or Can Reid recognize you?

Nov 30, 2010 18:47

As his stats/permission post says, Reid has an eidetic memory. It's confined mainly to visuals - he remembers everything he sees and/or reads. And there are some very familiar-looking people in camp.

Basically, what I'm asking is whether your character is played by someone who appeared on Criminal Minds, and if so, are you okay with Reid (falsely) recognizing them as that person? I know this will be an issue for Lassiter, Jasper Hale, and Sue Sylvester, all of whose actors appeared on the show (and all of whom are significant to Reid in some way, coincidentally enough), but if anyone else might have that issue, it would help to know.

To add to this, Reid happens to be a Star Trek fan. At the very least, he knows the original series and can be seen in one episode reciting facts about random TOS episodes, and he's undoubtedly aware of the other Trek series. The reboot movie complicates things somewhat in that he will probably know about it - and possibly even have seen it, once he updates - so he'd be likely to think of the characters as their actors before being corrected, unless otherwise specified (which adds an extra note of hilarity if nu!Chekhov ever comes to camp, because Anton Yelchin was on Criminal Minds as another character significant to Reid).
