I've had trouble recalling someone's name when meeting them out of context, but I recognize faces unless they've changed drastically since the last time I saw them, so not a worry for me.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I recognize people who were customers, fellow bus riders and who moved out of my district in kindergarten. I do not have the face blind worry. I do sometimes replace actors in movies with other actors in my memory. For example movie Buffy is Chriatina Applegate and the boy in Blue Lagoon in Willy Aames

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the problem might be more that he recognised anyone in the lineup with those helpers, honestly. I'm not seeing anything in my reading that indicates voice is a particularly good cue for people to work from, otherwise lots of them would work from it lots and it wouldn't be a big problem.
My main issue with the show is--how long is the season taking place across in real time? Where do they live that, say, one witness a month comes across their desks with an Oliver Sacks-level mental issue, and they call him in for that one? And that's assuming a 1:4 ratio.

My way of handwaving that is that between the teaching there is *other*"simpler" consulting he does. Many of my anthropology instructors took on forensic work in between semesters, but it was identifying bones and whatnot.

I think they live in Chicago...suspiciously bright and sunny LosAngchicago. Maybe it's an alternate dimension and the switch makes everyone crazy.

That doesn't make the incidence of what seem to be really notable diagnoses any fewer and further between, though. The gap in show time between the episodes is the gap in show time between the episodes, no matter if he spends it dancing naked and drunk across the quads, or in the box throwing the DSM IV at people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's the part they should film.

Yeah, eventually,(If it lasts,) there should be eps that aren't such spectacles. He could be an expert witness in a trial, or maybe deal with his own condition for a while. Or else that last step into that LosAngelicago dimension is a rough one.

Zenkitty, I think Piven's Cupid was the last guy to make being crazy that fun...but we were partially meant to assume he was a lovegod, after all. (Now I'm missing that show again.)

I can't believe I forgot to watch White Collar last week! I missed all the bromancing!
But what's up with Mozzie? How can he not be going back with Neal? Is there a plan? I thought--if they run together, if he'd stayed in NY in the first place because of Neal, why are they splitting now?
Plus, they're ruining my OT4.
