This last episode (9/21) was just not good one bit, leave a secure facility to get smokes? Go into the tunnels to take out the master and then what followed was just really really dumb. The old guy has been the most level headed the whole time and all of a sudden loses it. :facepalm: bad episode.

If you turn off your brain and just watch it for entertainment (like most TV shows); IMO The Strain is enjoyable...

I enjoy the show and I understand that you need to put characters in danger to build suspense; that can be done without them doing idiotic things. The kid leaving the store, everything associated with the tunnel and the master; how are these people still alive when they do such idiotic things.

The 'Master' looks completely ridiculous.

I just started this show earlier today and I somehow managed to plow through 7 episodes. The first three episodes glued me into my chair because the way how they thicken the plot with the "infected".

As others mentioned, the show reminded me of a combination of the fringe and blade 2. There were some pretty cheesy scenes but when watching shows like this I tend to turn off half my brain simply enjoy the action.

Im definitely going to try to finish this off as im intrigued to seen how they're going to kill the masrer

Ok storyline but whole show is pretty comical. The bad acting, cheesy dead bodies, the master's halloween mask is actually working for them. Where did he get that mask from?, a party store?. :lol:

I actually watched it because its a comedy. Cant wait for S2.

I think thats just an assumption. really the whole show revolves around KILLING THE MASTER.

PS...when does season 2 start?

Honestly, I can't remember. I know they SWAT guys want to stop him because they don't want an all out human/vampire fallout or something.

You mean every main character isn't dead yet from pure survival stupidity????

I like the concept of the show so far but man after watching S1 I'm wondering if I can stomach S2. I know timeline it's only been like 1wk since the original airplane event but at the same time every character should have died or been infected by now by their sheer stupidity.
