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

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Finally finished the 2nd season, really not happy that they killed off [BLACKOUT]Nora[/BLACKOUT], a big deviation from the book I don't care for. But I will see how it plays out.

What I wonder now is how the following things from the books will play out, book spoilers:

Spoiler

how are they now going to handle The Master destroying all of the ancients and that leading to a bit of a show down between Setrakian and The Master where Setrakian dies but gets a small victory over The Master by destroying his body. It's then in the books he goes into Bolivars body.

Also it seems they are staying with the Angel origin for the vampires, and they better keep the final fight between The Master and Quinlan exactly how it was in the books because it was damn awesome.

I went back and watched American Horror Story season 2, and just realised the actress that plays Coco is in it.

 

[squeekness]

As soon as I saw Coco I knew she was familiar but I didn't place her right away. Once I looked her up and saw Horror Story, I was like, Oh, yeah.

WANT! Man, that's cool.

 

[FrozenBanana00]

Cool! The Funko Pop is pretty cute too.

 

[Maximus One]

Nice! Maybe I'll get lucky and the store I work at will order at least one and I'll get to inspect it for damage.

Just finished season 2. Got to say the ending left me a little dissapointed. Im hoping season 3 is an improvement,. less love angles,. and more vamp killing

Initially the show was 3 seasons, then 5... They're writing the 4th now, but don't firmly know Season 5 is the last one. #TheStrain #TCA16

Cuse wanted the "kineticism" a shorter season would bring for #TheStrain Season 3 #TCA16

#TheStrain has a new credit sequence, which was inspired by the show being a "graphic novel thriller" #TCA16

Cuse and Co are sitting down right now to figure out the "optimal number of episodes" to tell the end story of #TheStrain #TCA16

Photocopying? Does he mean the characters will be copying pictures? Why is that a big deal?

 

[kvz5]

LOL I was thinking the same thing. Like does that mean something else that we don't know about? What's the big deal?

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

I KNOW, I was wondering what the **** THAT was all about... I don't get it...

 

[squeekness]

I don't get it either, I'm just glad this is starting back up again.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Can't wait for the new season, have mostly enjoyed the first 2 so far, apart from some dumb changes to the books.

 

[Sawyer]

Back tonight. Lets see how much more intolerable they make the kid.

 

[Docker2.0]

This is going beyond 3 seasons?! Darn it man! This is Under the Dome all over again!

No. GDT had a five season plan from the beginning.

I thought it was a pretty solid season opener...

 

[Primal Slayer]

I thought the opposite. For a premier it felt like your run of the mill episode to me.

Agreed. It wasn't bad, and it had almost none of the kid, but it was ho hum.
