Wrapping up the subtitles and closed captioning for Scene 177, after Claire is finally able to light the floor lamp and Mistelique disappears (it's definitely an interesting touch that I don't know that I've seen in anything else that a ghost must have darkness to appear and do its dirty work), as Claire makes her way to Alex and desperately tries to revive him, she laments, "Oh, my God. ... Alex! -- oh, Alex! ... Alex, please be all right!...Alex...oh, Alex...Alex!...Darling!..." - and for the most part both the subtitles and the closed captioning each reflects that, except for Claire's "Darling!" at the end - instead, both have -
- which is odd to me because it seems more than clear that she does indeed lament, "Darling!"
And after that the subtitles acknowledge that Alex begins to gasp -
- though the closed captioning does not - and neither acknowledges Claire's sobs.
I don't think I'll ever understand why some things are acknowledged while other aren't...
