It may well be, but I doubt a medical doctor would take the chance.

Alana can't be pregnant now, because she's drinking.

The reconstructive cosmetic surgery is, by medical and social standards, incredibly successful, to the point where he really does look as normal as Armitage does - the only remaining evidence is a single lip scar. But he is too scarred by his life experiences to believe he looks normal.

In the books, Margot Verger is a fairly different character - she's become a steroid-abusing bodybuilder because of Mason's abuse of her when she was younger, and Harris hints that she might be transgender for the same reason. But it's pretty cool when she kills Mason by ramming the eel down his throat herself.

Well . . . Geordi La Forge was specifically cast as black, but the casting call was like "no street types, perfect diction, maybe a Jamaican accent", which is kind of a thing. I can't find any references to whether or not George La Forge, the quadriplegic Star Trek fan after whom Roddenberry named Geordi, was black.

His funniest role right after DS9 finished was the dickhead government agent in Con Air whose precious little sports car gets trashed.

It's funny seeing Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park, both ethnically Korean, playing cousins from a family which is supposed to be a mix of Chinese, white, and native Hawai'ian - he plays "Chin Ho Kelly", and she plays "Kono Kalakaua" - alongside Masi Oka, who's ethnically Japanese, playing "Max Bergman".

Well, I think you're taking it too far. It's clear that it was Hank's attitude that ruined his relationship with Hope, for one thing, and he gets over himself by the end of the film - hence showing Hope the prototype Wasp suit - because he comes to understand that he was wrong to be over-protective and to blame

I wonder if they could have convinced Robert Redford to do it? The de-aging CGI they used on Michael Douglas was amazing, so I have no doubt they could have worked wonders on him, too.

SPOILERS

I didn't laugh along with the rest of the audience when that happened in the movie, having seen it in the trailers, but I cackled like a madman at what comes later.

They did a fantastic job making Michael Douglas, who is 70, look like he was, say, 50 or 55 in 1989, even though that's a little older than he really was (44).

But VICtor…

America can't be occupied by anyone*, as much as I'm looking forward to the Amazon adaptation of The Man in the High Castle where precisely this is the case - and there at least you can construct a historical narrative where America stays out of the war and falls prey to native fascism which invites the Germans in in

The most straightforward thing I can imagine is a story about all the kids in a small town watching the show, but the adults only see static and think they're making it up as a game?

Well, if you think about it, these episodes are about 42 minutes long. Manhunter and Brett Ratner's Red Dragon are both 124 minutes long, and the show's version of the story doesn't need to introduce its protagonists. Six 42-minute episodes is 252 minutes to tell the story, more than twice as long as either film. I'm

They met while filming the sequels to The Matrix, I think - she had a small role as the widow of Dozer, the big natural-born guy from the first film that Cypher killed, and I think maybe she was also the sister of Jada Pinkett Smith's character?

I thought they did a very good job of making Capheus's mother - has she been given a name on screen? - look plausibly sick in the present and much, much healthier in the flashbacks to when Capheus was a child.

They're East Germans with a Slavic surname; I'd wager Wolfgang's grandfather grew up before WWII thinking of himself as a Polish citizen of Germany.
