    Pest Control guy and the Cranky Old Guy

    Hacker Chick and Science Chick are ok

    Eph and his son are the worse
    Mainly because they are both Bratty
    Eph is a little arrogant ass that has had his butt handed to him time and again
    FINALLY starts to allow other thoughts into the equation beyond his own

    Right now . . .
    I try to look at his dynamic and his son's
    then place it in the context of Rick Grimes and his son
    Part of me think they trying to move Eph's son in that direction but failing miseribly

    it's either so stupid or just brilliant social commentary, how people are ordering take out with the entire city collapsing and the food actually being delivered. I'd be hiding out in katy.

    I don't know if intentional but it's pretty fun either way. I could see something like that happening in a crisis, wonder how quickly take out places were running after 9/11.

    IT was happening after IKE or RITA or Both
    *shrug*

    Eph is such a fricking hoe.
    World's coming to an end and he turns into Mr. Swirve-on

    "Yea, My wife is a Ghoul and the chick I'm boning is back taking care of my kid so yea. . . i think i got a little time for some nookie and to sign away all the rights to my work."

    I was just laughing

    Fricking Yellow Jacket has become THE MAN during the Apocalypse

    That was an absolutely terrible episode. I'm ashamed to have finished watching it.

    That had some of the ridiculous... Cheesy... Wtf type scenes that reminded me of walking dead.

    Wtf did you leave the cop car and run into a church? Why not jump into the front seat and drive the hell out of there...

    Agreed.
    I was wondering why the cop got out the car in the first place.
    I was wondering how they *****ed around and got caught out at night like that
    (How fricking far is it from the Campaign base and home based?)

    Good thing all phones are still working

    I agree about the cop, by this point in the time they'd have to be aware of the creatures lurking at night. It was just a pretty awful sequence.

    Exactly what I said. if its after dark and you hit something, you keep going.

    Abraham and the Pest Guy are my 2 favs, Eph has started to wear on me after AntMan. Im looking forward to the old man being back in GoT this season too.

    I like how elite black ops corporate assassin managed to shoot Eph in the shoulder at point blank range--then took his sweet time making the second shot, allowing Eph to live. Assassins these days.

    This show went from good to so-bad-it's-good pretty quickly.

    I read those Del Toro Books and I am wondering how they can manage to pack all those things into the series.

    They probably have to come up with new characters as well like the new vampire hunter for the Ancients.

    I gave up and unDVRed it after last week. I was tempted to record/watch it tonight out of habit. Thanks for the disappointing words; it will strengthen my resolve to stay away from this crap show that had so much potential.

    I continue to watch, but I have no Idea what the purpose of the show is anymore. What is even going on? None of it makes any sense.

    Not as good as season 1 but worth watching, especially during the summer.

    The Strain may end up falling into the same rut of many shows that never recapture the magic of an intriguing opening season.

    It is really all over the map.

    They are too inconsistant with the direction they want to go
    They introduce characters then dropped them then let them show up again
    they put in too much bull**** filler for say you have good characters that you not using

    Where the hell is the Mexican guy?
    Where the hell is the Half Vampire Warrior God?
    Why do we give a ***** about old girl [Eph's Ex] trying to get her son? Why does THE MASTER care?
    How did the Lesbian's Ex survive. . . .At that point the story felt DANGEROUS . . now anyone with a sharp knife and an ounce of sense can go running about at night?

    The Show is going completely off the Rails

    They don't know if they want to solve this issue with a Magic Spell or a Scientific Potion.
    The other Elders can't be too happy . . cause I don't think the Spell or the Sauce will spare them and only kill the master.

    I was pissed how easily their kill squad was dismantled by a once crippled business man . . . ..
    last episode was the first time The old Businessman showed any reverence to THE MASTER
    He all GaGa over some new Sexy Time [BTW What the hell is her deal . .. Grandfather issues???]
    [From the way things are going the love Handle will fall off at somepoint]

    BTW - What *exactly* is the old man and now his companion . .. they not like the Nazi . . . but they cannot be fully human either . .. right?
