The Strain

Really? You witness first hand a bunch of zombie vamp monsters outside your door, and then you see a group of people who seem to know what they are dealing with. I don't think the next logical step would be to just barge out among those zombie vamp monsters and become easy lunch as the hacker chick's gf did. Or purposefully act like a moron like the Hassan dude.

Not me personally as I have common sense. But there are legitmately people out there who'd react just the same if not worse than the Bread man, Hacker girls friend and Hassan.

And her friend got away. Bread Guy got eaten.

I would do the Lord's work.

As would I with my granite-busting fist and world-cracking roundhouses, but we're living weapons trained by the CIA. Try to see this through the eyes of the normal rabble.

This felt like a filler episode.

Spoiler:
What's up with changing the Master's voice like that?

And that Italian b1tch is super-annoying. Couldn't they have killed her off in this episode?

lol @ goodweather's ridiculous hairpiece:

an equal lol @ the reveal of sardu's face. the prosthetics and whatnot were cheesy as hell.

the best part of this episode was watching nora's ass giggle when they were getting their f*ck on. 👆

Two observations on this show:
1) Jewish protagonists & WWII yawn.

2) WTF is with the stupid pseudo viral/Alien "Vampire"?

First episode looked promising, well produced, nicely paced and acted. The second episode started to smell, with the cliche alcoholism, workaholic dad shit ...

Anyway, this has gotten worse, but not much worse thanks to the tall rat catcheer.

This and Leftover ... neither are worth the effort or time but both had great promise.

I thought that "The Master" looked comically silly and out of place for this show. Like he would be a fit villain for the old Buffy The Vampire Slayer show. I think they would've been better off just keeping him cloaked and hidden.

You are aware this series is called "The Strain" right?

Why are these "vampires" mind-controlled (to whatever extent the "master" wants) and, where does that come from? What Viral worms with WiFi??

It's just asinine, idiotic, stupid shit and it annoys me. Greatly.

Worse still the Aliens thing of a big ****ing tongue-monster shooting out ... why??

Anyway, it's idiotic and spoiled a seemingly promising premise.

seriously, this is idiotic shit.

If you like this idiot mumbo-jumbo "science" stuff in fiction, fair enough but atleast try and tone it down and make it seem an extension of reality/nature.

With that said the master vampire was inexcusable in its cheesiness.

Like I said, this show is called "The Strain" you had to have so idea where this show was going especially since the worms were introduced in the pilot episode.

The point is that the silly worms are a stupid way to do it, that the associated powers are idiotic and break the "scientific" conceit of the show and, the last episode I watched ... vampire vigilante ninja force!!

Helix is also sci-fi, with immortals and all sorts of zombie like creatures, but done well, in an intelligent and interesting fashion.

This show just lacks for intelligence, it's abysmally stupid in fact.

I didn't know it was about vampires until I watched the pilot, figured it was sci-fi until then.

thats kinda the point though. They have a scientific side to the show and it works to a point but its not all completely scientific nor is it supposed to be. As for Mr. Q...there is a reason he kills vampires.

I feel like this series is circling the drain. It started very strong, but is rapidly becoming complete shit.

No way i'm arguing with anyone here as to the quality of the show. Thats just wasted time.
I like it so far.
Surprised at the speed of the infection spread. The general population cant remain ignorant for long.
I wonder if the Master has tried anything on this scale before in history.
I also wonder why, to be honest. Why try and convert your entire food source?
Unless the Nazi connection goes deeper, with camps eventually set up to "grow" humans?
I like it when science is applied to legend. Obviously not everything can be explained, which is as it should be.
The vampire strike team brings up some questions for me. Are some people immune to some degree? Is there another group opposing the Master that Setrakian never ran across?

Lets just say that there is certainly a method behind Sardu's seeming madness. 🙂

From what little I've read on wiki and such:

Spoiler:
The Master is one of several vampire lords, except he was shafted when the other lords decided to divide up the planet for wealth and food-source reasons long ago. So he's butthurt and plans on turning the entire planet into vampires (which makes little sense to me).

The vampire strike team is controlled by one or more of the other lords and they're trying to contain The Master's plan and restore the human-vampire balance as it was before.

If someone read the book and there's something wrong with what I posted, please let me know.
