This show really isnt good but for some reson i keep watching, i guess i feel the need to see how it ends. I'm surprised it hasnt been cancelled already.
yeah its just dumb, it kinda surprises me this show wasnt cancelled.Great potential....slowly got worse. I knew where everything was heading with the first glimpse of The Master. I quite literally laughed out loud. Looked like a classic 70s cinematic monster. All that CGI and that's the best they could come up with? smh
Can I also say that I absolutely LOATHE the young kid? Loathe him. What a completely foolish loser. Would be understandable if he was 3 years old.
yeah i think a lot of people especially on the Strain subreddit complain about the kid, even though they replaced him after the first season. He was almost like Carl in the Walking Dead except Carl kinda grew up and matured and isnt as bad now.
This week's episode was good. I'm going to hang in there till the bitter end.
Better. But the kid, man. Craftily escapes from his room, then sharts his pants by bleating "mom?!?!" when he walks in on her feeding. How about, you know, actually trying to escape? I know he wouldn't have gotten anywhere, but damn, make an effort. Use your brain for me one time kid.
I know it's my fault at this point, but come on.
He did yank on a door that had 70 pounds of chains on it. To be honest - I think that was fairly realistic (if you accept the premise of the show to begin with). Not sure I could walk away from that sort of a train wreck. Mom kept trying to pretend she wasn't really one of them (with the makeup and all)...and then he sees her feeding. That's exactly how my younger son would act.
If he was 3 years old maybe. I'm just too jaded at this point I think. It's on me now. I still enjoyed the episode a little bit more at least. Just have to accept the fact that every is DAF in this show.
Season finale coming up on Sunday. The show will, unless things change, return for a 4th season, which will be it's last.
I wasn't sure if the show would continue beyond this season. In the last episode, they killed a few characters and altered the plot enough that they could have wrap the show up in the season finale, albeit in a hurried fashion.
Still, the show has had some head scratching moments in the last few episodes: Fet and company literally taking all day to journey down to the vampire nest under Central Park and then returning to the surface in a matter of minutes, the "A boy and his strigoi" storyline that they haven't done anything with since it was introduced, and Eichorst setting off a tactical nuke deep under NYC and no one noticing.
Somehow I stuck with this show the whole run thanks to the DVR. I just wanted to see how it ended. For me, the only thing that made it tolerable through the last 2 seasons was the character of Quinlan. He was a badass.
The doc and his kid were absolutely the worst part of the show.
Yep me too. Pulling teeth is a good analogy. But I'm glad I finished and still found it entertaining in parts. One thing that annoyed me was the look of the Master in the beginning. He looked like a ridiculous cartoon. They should have made him look more badass. He only felt cool when he took over the rock star dude.
My dream of a totally annihilated stregoy filled world didn't come true. I thought there was an outside chance with Del Toro producing.
Characters I liked:
Bad:
- I'll always love the Pawn Broker. Single mindedness to the extreme. DNGAF.
- Quinland good.
- Fet good.
- I always like Eichorst too, just not so much at the end when he became feckless.
- I like the Hispanic guy too. Good dude
- Zack: one of the single worst characters on television all the way around, from acting, from being a flat out annoying person, that stupid scowl, half wit, pvssy, . Just dumb dumb dumb.
- Doc: thinks his kids is redeemable. Terrible. Emotional pvssy.
I fell off this wagon 1 1/2 seasons in. My wife is still hanging in there.
Totally forgot about the rock star! Also i didnt really understand, was this whole thing restricted to just Manhattan? Did the different military of the world not try to intervene? Why did the master just go to a different place when they knew the nuke was being brought into the city?
