20 Years since Survival

It's this month's bonus episode for subscribers; I don't think it's out just yet.
 
I have a very vague memories of this episode and there was a moment that genuinely scared me where a priest is forced into the corner by cat people, he raises his Bible as a shield and cries 'NOOOOO!' (although today I'd find it unintentionally hilarious).

I think you be confusing Survival with The Curse Of Fenric.
 
I agree casting someone in her mid-20s as a 16 year old was a bit of a stretch, but I thought it worked. Remember that Susan was played by a woman in her mid-20s, too.
Could be worse....look at 90210. :rommie:

Yeah, that was sort of the low watermark for that sort of thing. I recall one of the actresses was - no joke here - pushing FORTY when she was supposedly playing a teenager on that show.

Today, I'd cite Smallville as the modern-day example. Tom Welling is supposedly playing Superboy, yet the guy's 32 years old, nearly a full DECADE older than Christopher Reeve was when he was first cast as SuperMAN.

If you're refering to Gabielle Carteris she was 29 when 90210 started in 1990. And Tom Welling was 23 when Smallville first started, Christopher Reeve was 24 when got the part of Superman.
