My So-Called Photographic Memory

As I mentioned in the previous post, I rented the first three episodes of "My So-Called Life" from the library yesterday. It's been a while since I've seen it, and I don't know if I ever really saw the entire season, but as soon as I watched the first 15 minutes of the pilot, all the characters and memorable moments of the show came flooding back to me. Each time Graham or Patty said something, I could have sworn that I'd seen them in many things since their days on the show. Same goes for Rickie and little Brian Krakow. Tormented by the "what have I seen them in lately?" feeling, I perused the My So-Called Life section of IMDB, only to find that, aside from Claire Danes and Jared Leto, none of them have been in anything significant, or at least nothing that would have left an impression. A few episodes of CSI, a made-for-TV-movie here or there, but overall, a big list of side jobs. Disappointing as it may be, I guess it just makes me all the more excited to sit down and relive the life and times of Angela Chase. At least this time, I'm old enough to understand it.
