The Strain

[JBMasterAngler]

Anyone been watching this show on FX? I'm 4 episodes in now, and still can't decide wether I like it or not I think it would be better if it wasn't a supernatural paranormal show, and instead was a story about a corrupt government agency purposely trying to spread a disease. With that being said, the 4th episode was the best, so maybe the monsters are a good thing!

getting better.

I was excited for it to start and after 4 episodes I'm not sure how much longer I will be watching.

Like JB said, I'm not much into that sort of supernatural dump.

Did they not realize something was up at the morgue?

[smalliehunter]

All the forced drama is terrible. Week keep watching tho

[JBMasterAngler]

Isn't the best show to watch when you've had strep throat for the past week either Scarier than webMD.

[eyeguy 54]

heeheehee. get well.

What you said to open the thread JB.

Thought the show was going to be completely different than what it is, the supernatural stuff that is. The initial premise looked cool, but the source of the infection, i dunno.

I keep in on it for now, but its not doing a lot for me.

Not to Hijack, but The Last Ship and its story line is pretty cool, at least more believable.

Just fillers to get us to Walking Dead

I'm kind've intrigued with how the characters will be linked together...the CDC guy, the exterminator, and the latin kings hoodlum. Speaking of exterminator, the meaning of the rat migration might be interesting too.

Getting better now that complete chaos is going down. They didn't waste much time with the disease spreading.

turning into vampire city. not sure I will last. lol

[pinkfloyd4ever]

agree, its holding my interest

[eyeguy 54]

interesting ending to tonight. lol

[JBMasterAngler]

I have no idea what those things were at the end, but unfortunately their arrival may have been a major downer for this show The episode was going pretty good up to that point.

[eyeguy 54]

hmmm, I thought that added something.

[smalliehunter]

I thought one set of vampires was enough. 2 made it kind of lame. definitely will keep watching though

[pinkfloyd4ever]

it certainly was a [PoorWordUsage] moment for me

[JBMasterAngler]

Very good episode! Rebounded nicely from the ending of last week. However, it's starting to get very "I am legend" like, which I might add was a terrible movie! Didn't expect Sean Astin to be killed off like that, so it's nice to be kept on my toes.

Mrs Martinez.... I have your cigarettes .. LOL I liked that one.

[JBMasterAngler]

I was convinced Mrs. Martinez or the kid were going to do something extremely stupid that would put the team in danger. The kid going out for cigarettes was the set up I was expecting, but I was pleased when it didn't come to fruition. I am happy the show disappointed me in regards to that. 2 episodes left, getting very interesting. Looks like the vampire swat team returns next week. Anyone have any theory what happened to the goth rocker vampire? He hasn't been on the show in several weeks. I was thinking he was going to be setup to be the next leader type (like the nazi guy), should the show return for a 2nd season.

[JBMasterAngler]

Season finale wasn't much of a finale. But apparently it's coming back some time in 2015, not so much as a 2nd season, but a continuation of the 1st season. The vampire political circle lost a lot of points with me though. We'll see how the rest of it plays out when it comes back (after walking dead is done I would assume).
