The Strain - The Official Thread

[Ricky Church]

I knew that Coco bytch was gonna get it instead of Palmer. And they still saved her with help from the master.

They already got rid of that shytty extended intro after a week.

It's annoying as fukk that everyone needs to be informed of every single move of someone else's.
Especially the nosy ass bytches.

Palmer's bytch wanting to know about his secret business dealings or else she threatened to leave and Nora being up Eph's ass about this n' that and her telling Fet that he shoulda told her about the hit on Palmer.

The fukk outta here.

 

[Jello Biafra]

I knew Eph was going to fukk up the hit. He is such a clownshoe.
I am still trying to see where this whole Coco thing is going. Maybe she becomes The Master's new chick and it turns Eldritch against him.
I'm worried about Dutch though.

Coco and Max's Mom catfight in the finale...haha

Same here... This show any good brehs?

Its "unintentionally" funny, on purpose. If that makes any sense.

Its as if after the terrible pilot they realized how stupid the show was, and decided to turn up the stupidity while pretending to take themselves seriously. E.g. they stopped trying to make their world anything like the real New York, to the point where they're doing it intentionally. They KNOW we're laughing at it, but its not "jokey".

Another example is how a character seemed to magically teleport from DC to Brooklyn with a bullet wound, and they didn't even try to explain how he got there.

IMHO the comedy factor is what makes it better than The Walking Dead.

[Clark Wayne]

Got rid of that lame ass new intro after 1 week.

When I first saw that shyt I had the face the whole time.

I get what they were trying to go for but that shyt was extra wack.

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

Bruh trust me, Im about finished with the books now and there is NOTHING worth continuing to watch about this show. The plot does not get better, it gets worse

There is still some fukkery in store though

The mythology though.........the mythology behind the origin of the master is

Just spoil it

@Adam3000

Are the books really different? I've read some of the character differences, is it a good read?

 

[HONEYBLAY]

I luv this show..
"The Strain"

Its mostly side characters that are different

Gus and Nora's moms are both still around. Zach is a bit more mature. Lesbo chick doesnt exist. Eldrich was not given the drop of Master blood to heal him. And Gus's crew is bigger

Its not THAT different though when it comes to the main people

And its a terrible read. I found myself skimming through most of the chapters other than anything involving Setrakian or Quinlan

Them Occido Lumen chapters though

 

[Deltron]

thanks for the breakdown.

Might peep it just outta curiousity

 

[Monoblock]

What happened to Quinlan and Gus? This show is so bad I can't stop watching. The characters just do dumb shyt for no reason and I know I shouldnt be watching but I can't help but see how much worse its gonna get. Even though it was never on the level of Heroes the comedy in this shyt is reminding me how I use to clown it weekly when it started to fall off and the nick names we use to give the characters. I am curious to see the origins of The Master and what was in the Lumen.
