Chloe O’Brien = Janice Rand?

Was watching Star Trek last night (only for a bit: Miri is a rubbish episode, banned for years for being too violent but should have been banned for being too dull) when I suddenly spotted a strange resemblance:

Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Janice Rand

Grace Lee Whitney

Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe O’Brien from 24)

Mary Lynn Rajskub

Is it just me or is there something eerie going on there? Watch the next episode and see what you think.
