shareIt was great to see her.
shareShe looks fantastic, has definitely aged well.
So it goes.
People don't age in just a couple of years.

GoodbyePorkPieHat said that she has aged well and I said people don't age in just a couple of years.
shareYup. And I said that was a weird reply.
But thanks for the recap...

I still don't understand why "People don't age in just a couple of years" is weird. It has been just a couple of years since she has been in Switched At Birth; do you expect people to show age after just a couple of years?
My original reply was to GoodbyePorkPieHat, who said "She looks fantastic, has definitely aged well" and that seemed strange to me since it had been such a short amount of time (relatively speaking) since I saw her.
That's a strange response. I haven't seen this actress (Leah) since Back to the Future, and I was thinking two things watching her, and the first one agrees with the other poster in that she *has* aged well, she doesn't look over doctored, and the second was that she looked like she was having the most fun in this role than she has had in a while.
My point is, it's more than "a couple of years" since I've seen her last.

No, David. No one is happy in a poodle skirt and a sweater set.
Criticizing her for aging during a quarter of a century is strange. She has done 30-40 movies and a few TV shows since then. I don't remember her in Back to the Future but I did see her in a couple of seasons of Switched at Birth, which was a couple of years ago. (I gave up on the show after a couple of seasons when the writing became awful.)
Note that GoodbyePorkPieHat provided no context; there is no indication of what year or show that Lea Thompson was being compared with. I corresponding provided no context. Now you can see how strange that is. People need to be more specific; sometimes people talk and talk and talk and provide too much detail but sometimes people are very quick to say something without thinking and that causes confusion. You thought my reply was strange because it was brief, vague and non-specific. If I had said she has not aged since Switched at Birth then it would not seem strange. Yes, vague comments can seem strange.
