I wouldn't be surprised if the science was wrong. What really got me is that people are getting sick right, left and center but trees and flowers seem to be unaffected. Seriously, by the end blooms should be dying, leaves should be brittle and falling - nothing should be beautiful looking, but what do I know?
I just didn't get the Assante love, and yes, it was like an utterly predictable Lifetime movie or dreadful rom-com.
As for another remake, the whole thing rises and falls on the strength of the casting. This is really an intimate drama about the hopes and feelings of a small group of people. The young couple has to really devastate us when they kill themselves and their baby and it should be a baby, not a young child. We have to feel Dwight's dilemma about his choices and we have to feel for Moira, who can't win no matter what she does. The science of it all should just be a tissue paper surrounding for the personal drama IMHO.
