The Strain TV Show Discussion Thread

Just watched episode two.

I really liked it...

Not near as bad as I was expecting from all the earlier comments.

[Pinky Lee Zepplin]

Man, that little girl is mean.

[Vikingreed]

Little kids are always the creepiest characters when "evil".

 

Pet Cemetery anyone, haha?

[monsterbento]

The old guy seeking immortality reminds of Weyland from Prometheus. Not a bad thing. Just crossed my mind.

 

I'm guessing Eph's wife will be annoying throughout the series.

[kagenish]

would've been hilarious if "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" or "Be Prepared" was playing.

[Vikingreed]

"The CIIIIIIRCLE of LIFE!!!"

 

haha

[Lonzilla]

I liked it, have to get used to the slow pace while the story builds up. I think next week is the scene with the rats eccch

[the authority]

8 million viewers last week, let's see how much of a drop off , or increase there is after tonite. We'll know in a couple of days

 

I have no idea what this means but...

[Spacy]

Off to a good start, I'm in for a bit.

[the420kid]

I am enjoying this show ...it's a bunch of vampires that are not kissing and naked every 5 minutes. substance!!

 

that said, I suspect there won't be the mass appeal like other hugely popular shows I shall not name and draw comparisons to.

[Vikingreed]

Nothing will ever be like "that which shall not be named", but I'm digging it so far.

 

Ugly vampires > Zombies

 

Take that! Ha

[the420kid]

I have not read the source material but I am guessing this will be just a season or 2 to tell the complete story? or do the book(s) branch out?

 

Also - everyone calling the guy Eph was driving me nuts. I was running around the house saying "f this" "f that"

[dscythe]

slow burn on the second episode but it left me wanting more, which i suppose is a good thing. Kinda wishing i had jumped on the first issue bandwagon, maybe i'll just pick up a trade

[Vikingreed]

I haven't read, nor do I own, any of the comics or novels.

 

I may buy the books if the season holds holds my attentions.
