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

[mocomic]

I want this twist where the assistant is a double agent and was working for Quinlan or someone from the good side.

I think that theory has strong merit

 

[Marvolo]

I can't WAIT to see the expression on the face of Eldridge Palmer's assistant when she finally discovers the truth about him...

she's just so ass-kiss fawning over him that I'm gonna LOVE seeing her opinion of him come crashing down, the stupid cow...

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

hey, anyone that thinks that someone like Palmer is so damn PERFECT that he can't do no wrong the way SHE takes him to be, IS a blind stupid-ass...

I didnt get the impression that she thinks he is perfect. She knows Palmer does stuff thats questionable. She asked him about it. She probably just thinks that its typical company espionage and wall street type stuff. No normal person would ever suspect that their boss works for an immortal hell spawn. I thinks she's just taking advantage of an uber rich man's infatuation with her.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Wouldn't that be a conversation.

"I work for a demonic worm beast and a vampire nazi."

hmmmmm... maybe she isn't QUITE the blind worshipper that I took her to be... but regardless, she's gonna wind up having the bite put on her...

She has passed the level of believable ignorance with all the evil machinations going on. Either she is playing him or she is just unbelievably stupid.

What evil machinations has she seen tho? All she has seen is a goth singer who looked exactly like a hardcore goth singer in Palmer's office, and she saw a bunch of guys who to her looked like plague victims with guns break into Palmer's building. So from that she is supposed to deduce that Palmer is in league with an ancient immortal hell beast who is actively trying to destroy the world?

I want this twist where the assistant is a double agent and was working for Quinlan or someone from the good side.

Seeing how Quinlan operates at the end of the episode. This is feasible.

Quinlan

Gus + Angel

And here I thought [blackout]Fitzgerald will be a part of the team. [/blackout]

I knew Eph's DC trip [BLACKOUT]was turning out to be too good to be true[/BLACKOUT].

Poor [BLACKOUT]Eichorst[/BLACKOUT]. Well, not really.

 

[Marvolo]

I'm so glad they were able to turn the Goth singer into Master 2.0. He looks so much better than droopy eared big-headed Master Doofus.

And Eichorst...

 

[squeekness]

Spoiler

Not a fan of Eph right now. The man can't keep it in his pants.

 

[Marvolo]

He hasn't hooked up with that many women. And the cougar was into him so what's the harm?

 

[mocomic]

Waste of a good Fitzwilliam, Mr Cross to busy on Dark Matter I guess
Anything he's in , is always good


Why are the spider kids so damn fast I wonder

How old is Eichorst ? Wonder if we'll get a bit of origin before the camps

 

[Hunter Rider]

Awwww Eichorst, all upset that the giant fat naked grotesque man chose someone elses mouth to spit maggots into.

Poor Curtis, killed by another friend.

Was Eph's buddy who got shot in the head the guy who is playing Lucifer?

 

[Brother Jack]

Waste of a character.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Was Eph's buddy who got shot in the head the guy who is playing Lucifer?

Sure is

 

[Sawyer]

lol Eichorst, you crybaby nazi piece of s***.

 

[Marvolo]

What was the point in bringing back Fitzwilliam's character?

 

[Marvolo]

lol Eichorst, you crybaby nazi piece of s***.

Crybaby Nazi pieces of **** have feelings too.

They may have overplayed it a bit. Him whimpering didn't seem to line up with what we have seen from the character up until this point. I would think he would have too much pride and anger to cry like a little ***** on the floor.

 

[Roose Bolton]

They've expanded Eichorst a lot from his book characterisation, so I wonder if they'll perhaps do something different with him. It should be downright impossible for him to betray the Master, but given the level of autonomy he has here maybe they'll show him conspiring.

'The Strain's' Rupert Penry-Jones: "This Quinlan Is Very Different Than the Books"

Quinlan is one of his favorite characters. Did you feel that pressure?

The pressure really comes from the guy who ends up being Vaun, because he was my favorite character on the show and when they told me they were replacing him... they needed someone who was a little more physically able to do the role as well. I have to do lots of sword fighting and jumping around, things like that.

So I was basically taking over from someone I thought was fantastic. To step into his shoes is what the pressure is. As a fan, I’m sort of upset that he’s no longer in the show. I’m nervous about people thinking that he should have stayed as Quinlan. But Guillermo made me feel nothing but confident and comfortable about it. He watched the first few days I was on set filming and was very involved in my look and the makeup. I do feel nervous that people are going to not like him. This Quinlan is very different than the books. I’m a bit more human than the Quinlan in the books. The book people might take a bit of time to get used to it.

'The Strain's' Rupert Penry-Jones: "This Quinlan Is Very Different Than the Books"

Haven't seen any of season 2 yet, but I am a bit worried about this, Quinlan was my favourite character in the books, I loved his story and characterisation. And judging from others who read the book, they did too, so changing him slightly worries me.

Also, I remember when I found out McHattie was cast as who we all thought was Quinlan, I made mention of being worried he couldn't perform the action scenes needed for Quinlan, seems I was right. Shame though as I like McHattie.

 

[Roose Bolton]

They've probably humanised him more than what we saw of him in the novels, stuff like his backstory with his [blackout] Wife and daughter [/blackout] is something I could see them exploring in greater detail. He's already more humanised in a physical sense by the nature of him having a nose, ears and physically speaking, as the actor pointed out.

Well as I said not seen season 2 yet as it doesn't start here until the 26th so I don't know what look they have gone for. In the book he was very much like the Strigoi though as far as I remember, with him being much more of a pale white colour than the other vamps.
