I didn't recognize Quinn until I saw his name in the credits, then I figured it out. Between Eureka and True Blood (and the Cuervo add) I'm too used to him with a beard.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Omigosh, I would NEVER have recognized Frakes.

I actually recognized Quinn's voice before I saw his face. His bone structure is pretty distinctive, but he looks SO different without a beard.
I'm not usually a facial hair fan, but I think the beard suits him better.

I was looking for Frakes and still managed to miss him.

Before y'all hipped me to Frakes being in the frame, I thought it must be an author I did not recognize. When I went back to watch it again, I saw the trademark smile. He looked more trim than I've seen him recently, which also threw me off a bit.
eta: wow, that was weirdly wishful thinking. "I" haven't been trim in a very long time!

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
It took me a while to figure out why Ed Quinn seemed so familiar. Then I went, "oh, holy crap, it's Nathan Stark!"
I wonder if it's annoying to be typecast as someone who plays slightly self-centered so very well...
To the benefit of my geek cred, I only recognized Frakes because I follow Wil Wheaton's blog.

I should add that I totally missed Frakes.

Just caught up with Elementary. I have to say I continue to like the way they play against the Doyle Canon. They have not attempted to transmigrate the soul of Doyle's Holmes to someone living today. They have tried to imagine what kind of person in today's world could do the same sort of work Doyle's Holmes did. And if you listen carefully this Sherlock is constantly saying things that are directly lifted from Doyle's. So it is not necessarily that they don't understand Doyle's Holmes but that they are not trying to bring Doyle's Holmes into our time, but create a Holmes in our time, and choosing to make him very different from the original, not only in details, but in fundamentals, in the type of person he is.

Elementary: I really thought they were going to stay away from cannon characters other than Holmes and Watson, so I was surprised to hear them say the name Irene last week.

I actually got excited and clapped my hands when Watson said her name.
