The casting in this series (and not just this episode, the whole season) is really pretty good. The brother and sister characters, Marlon (Derek Lukes) and Talia (Bianca Lawson) are top shelf. Lukes (Spartan) and Lawson (American Horror Story) are experienced actors and are convincing in their roles in Rogue.
What really shocked me was that Bianca Lawson is 45 years old. The Talia character is 20-something. I can't think of any actress currently working who could pull that off. The appearance can be handled with makeup and CGI FX, but the acting is astonishing. She portrays an early 20s character perfectly, with the voice, gestures and attitude totally in sync with those of a girl in her early 20s.
