[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9318414, member: 18"] Yeah that sounds about right - my friend was asking me if I thought the gore etc. level was okay for his 11-year-old daughter (he hasn't watched it yet), who is like pretty practical and tough and I had to say "Honest opinion? Probably not quite yet - mainly because of the gore" - but like 15 for sure (probably 13 for some kids - and probably never for a few people!). I remember personally I saw The Untouchables at 11, because my dad was watching it, and he failed to shoo me out of the room, I think because he thought it was a good movie and I should watch good movies, and wow, I should not have watched that, the headshot in the elevator scene is with me to this day, despite having seen far, far worse since - and other stuff was pretty disturbing too at that age. But I watched Alien and Aliens and Terminator and so on at 13 and loved them. Yeah I'm kind of sad I haven't got a reason to watch it again myself - it seems like it would definitely bear at least one re-watch, like GoT early seasons did (I watched most episodes of that twice, for various reasons). Unfortunately I seem to have become "please watch this great show that no-one will watch so we can talk about it!!!" guy to my friends (this is as surprising to me as anyone else, given my propensity for 'hot takes'!) and am like, "booked in" to watch multiple other series so I can talk to people about them (Dark S2 is next!). As a ghoul, he regenerates (this has never been entirely squared with their horrific appearance, missing noses, etc. - artistic licence I guess). The show shows this a bit, [ISPOILER]like Cooper gets shot quite a few times and just shrugs it off, and when he sews his finger back on, it rapidly becomes operational again and the new ghoul regenerates a horrific foot injury and a fatal crossbow injury.[/ISPOILER] So the bits may simply have come back - it might be that if he waited long enough that finger would have come back - but it might be months/years. And 30 years would give time for that (realistically you'd need biomass - i.e. food etc. but all shows forget this re: regeneration so I won't hold Fallout of all things to that!). "Every 30 years" suggests Dom Pedro is himself a ghoul or otherwise extremely long-lived too ([ISPOILER]robot, cyborg/brain-in-a-jar, etc.[/ISPOILER]), because that's very infrequent otherwise, like twice in a long lifetime. It could also be an exaggeration/legend of course (or the traditional duty of a passed-on title "Dom Pedro"). Also thanks to your comment I now finally get why when the other ghoul, [ISPOILER]who was about to go feral[/ISPOILER], said "You must have made a lot of money to have bought all the vials to stay sane for the decades since I saw you!", Cooper says "Something like that" - he's referring to Dom Pedro pumping the stuff into him in his coffin so he could suffer properly.
