TV: The Strain Premiere. Is Any One Excited?

[Jussi]

Dutch is still a bad ass and Zach's actor just keeps getting worse. I really would like to see the Stranger Things kids' reaction to his "acting".

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

The action sequences are getting better. I like how even common strigoi are really fast and dangerous now, no more slow moving, clumsy vamps. I learned long ago to just deal with the Zach acting, its not going away or getting better, I just don't let it ruin the show for me. This show is certainly fun, I have a feeling Quinlan is going to get owned by the master.

Forgot about Augustin, going back an episode.
Wonder if his role will be expanded, or stay in the background this season.
Also wonder if main cast will get back together or if they'll all have separate but somewhat intertwined paths? IE Dutch, Eph, Vasiliy, Abe, Augustin and Quinlan all join one another.

What the **** was that!? Lol

 

[Jussi]

What the **** was that!? Lol

Yeah, what the hell was that ending?

 

[TomPlex]

Yeah, what the hell was that ending?

That fight scene was AWFUL. What the hell was that grappling match he had with his wife?

 

[TomPlex]

This show is going off the rail lol.

Just catching up but after two episodes Zack is still a ******, and Zack is turning Eph into a ******.

 

[Sombastate]

I just keep watching. No rhyme or reason as to why I watch, but i just keep doing it.

Same here

Well that was actually a pretty good episode. Some suspenseful moments and some good plot movement points.

One more season, then gonzo.

In all honesty it should have only been 1 season or a miniseries. Nothing has ****ing happened at all really since the end of season 1.

I loved the first season. It's been rough watching after that. It hasn't been...BAD I suppose. Just not awesome.

If it was based on one book, then I'd agree. Adapting a trilogy of books into 10-13 episodes probably isn't feasible though.

According to my wife, the show's still somewhere in the first book, although they really don't have a lot in common.

Interesting, I haven't read them but I've seen comments elsewhere that say there are some events from book 3 in this season.

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

I've actually really enjoyed this series, and this season has been a lot of fun. It has its annoying parts, but for the most part, its been a fun ride, I unironically enjoy this show.

 

[CaptainBenn]

I didnt particularly like the first season
are you saying season 2 is worse?

Strictly speculative as I haven't read the books either, but Zach is supposed to play a much bigger part. And I can read a mean wikipedia:

[spoil]The Master's big plan is to stage a massive nuclear war, creating nuclear winter as the sun is obscured by all the artificial cloud coverage. Then, the strigoi can emerge and stage their own revolution to subjugate humanity. Those big buildings Eldritch Palmer is making with the Master? Those are to be holding pens for the human cattle. The strigoi will rule all, humans are reduced to human McNuggets, and they're pretty depressing book by all accounts. They go on for a while.[/spoil]

There'd have to be a lot more buildup for that stuff to happen over another single season.

 

[TomPlex]

Looks like they're starting on the final storyline. They're cutting loose ends. Glad to see. I'm enjoying Eldritch's resurgence.

 

[Butchered]

I thought the most recent episode was pretty damn good. One of the best I've seen since probably season 1.

[spoil]Was surprised to see Angel go. It seemed like he had cemented himself as a pretty core character in that thread. I guess someone has to go, and it doesn't really make sense right now to get rid of Gus.[/spoil]

 

[TheCanasianfrasian]

i'm really enjoying this season actually.

haven't watched last night's episode but my friend told me its great and packed with action

 

[ShootIt]

Yea this season has been better than season 2. Can't believe we are at the season finale next week.

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

Can't believe the entire police squad is now wiped out. I thought they'd save Faraldo. Not sure what they're going to do with Gus, I just wish they'd have him join with the main group.

I get the feeling the master is now in Kelly's body.
