Use of subjunctive after ‘après que’

I have it in my notes that “après que” uses the indicative tense, so is there a reason why the subjunctive is used in this occasion ?

Changement de programme [Subjonctif] quiz. My answer was marked incorrect. I don't understand why.

I wrote '`a moins que Bruno ne vienne ...' vienne is the correct form of subjunctive and 'ne' is needed after the conjunction '`a moins que'. I have read in lesson notes that the 'ne' can be dropped in a dialogue. However, in the short quiz which followed that exercise, 'ne' expletive was before the subjunctive verb in a dialogue. I don't believe I was wrong with my form of the subjunctive nor the 'ne' expletive.

Body part articles

Why "ses jambes" instead of "les jambes"?

My understanding was that you used definitive articles, not possesive

Très rapideSonne comme une course de chevauSSonne comme une course de cheveaux. Ce n'est pas une vitesse très agréable. Je pense qu'elle se précipite pour terminer dans un très petit laps de temps.
