Guillermo del Toro's The Strain coming to FX - Part 1

[Marvolo]

Maybe Zack's mom will become the Master. That would give the Master damn near total emotional control over Zack and would severely **** with Eph. Seems exactly like the sort of thing the Master would do.

 

[TheFuture]

I'll give the show credit for how much it still creeps me out, that worm concept still unsettles me, so seeing that Master Worm absolutely creeped the **** out of me!

I figured it couldn't be that easy to kill off the Master, but I never expected that big worm thingy to come crawling out. Makes you wonder who the next host is going to be.

 

[Marvolo]

Why dont they just use acid on the master? Set a trap and either dump acid on him or drop him in a tank of acid. Those worms would be dissolved before they could get away.

Or they could drop a nuke from orbit, just to be sure

From what I recall in the third book, The Night Eternal, the only way to truly destroy the Master and other ancients,[BLACKOUT] was to destroy their sites of origin. As revealed in the Occido Lumen.[/BLACKOUT]

That's right, The Master survives a [BLACKOUT]ground zero nuclear explosion in the books. His body is destroyed, but he just goes into another one.[/BLACKOUT]

[BLACKOUT]From the books spoiler it looks like it is not the only way to be sure [/BLACKOUT]

Did Fet lose IQ points from the bomb's impact? I mean, you've got the UV light, just grab the damn worm and crush it.

There was also a moment where

Spoiler

he literally just stood there watching the worm crawl its way from her cheek to inside her eye. WTF?!

I'm not here for them planting the seeds for a Dutch/Eph hookup.

I hope we haven't seen the last of Quinlan but looks like he's going rogue.

 

[divan]

I think they've missed an opportunity with the Master's "death". Imagine how great it'd have been from a dramatic standpoint for everyone turned to momentarily regain their senses of selves even if just for some hours or a couple of days. I mean they'd still be strigoi but with their old personalities, most not even knowing what happened to them and why do they look like monsters and have this thirst for blood. You could have made the still human characters hope that they've gotten some of their loved ones back (more or less) only for the Master to later gain a new body and exert his control over all his progeny once again.

I agree I'm not interested in Eph and Dutch hooking up. So I hope the writers aren't heading in that direction either.

That was a close call for Feraldo. Once the worm crawled inside her eye. I thought she was infected but fortunately Fet neutralized it before it spread.

I notice that Eichorst still refuses to turn or kill Zack. Even though the strigoi and most of the characters (aside from Quinlan and Setrakian) seem to believe the Master is dead.

I'm assuming that reporter, who Feraldo arrested for ambushing her in an interview earlier for lack of knowledge about the chain gangs forced to clear out the strigoi in the city, will be drafted (just as Gus and Angel) to do the same as karma.

[Blackout]That is one lucky lady. Frank and Fet too. So close to the male suicide bomber and only 1 worm hits the group.

That's what I'm hoping for that ***** of a reporter. **** her.

Will we be seeing Quinlan going to war with the other ancients as well?[/blackout]

 

[Marvolo]

Enslaving those prisoners and kidnapping citizens and getting them killed is wrong on so many levels. Prisoners and kidnapees with piss poor weapons arent going turn the tide. Its just an illegal human rights violation. So I have to agree with the reporter. Shut that **** down.

 

[Elevator Man]

I agree that whole operation should've been shut down. I'm sure Feraldo would've if Gus hadn't denied telling her the truth about how he and the other prisoners/abductees were being treated.

Yeah, but I can see how something like that could go on. When normal society breaks down, rules and common morality seems to go with it.

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

wow, didn't realize how widespread the infection has spread across the US and the world...

Neither did I. Seems like something that wouldve been more discussed instead of just randomly dropped on us.

 

[squeekness]

Probably seems that way because they only show us just the one city.

This show has always done a piss poor job representing and showing the scale of the outbreak.
