I had to skip through at least 1/3 the episode, too much relationship drama in my vampire apocalypse. Two seasons and they are still chasing this book the sides appear to be stalemated. We need to get Capt Pike and the Nathan James in on this; they would have finished the Master in one episode on their way to restock band-aids.

Dutch would be far more tolerable without the accent.

Also why the gently caress do they think anybody is interested in character drama and background stories at this point in the vampire saga? If you wanted deep characters, you should have explored them in the first season, as a way to set up themes of the show and viewer expectations. Doubling down on this family drama now, more than halfway through the series, makes no sense, and it breaks narrative structure.

Yeah, the flashbacks to the idiot doctors having a romance and the divorce thing... what a waste of everyone's time.

The Walking Dead did the same thing with flashbacks just being farts in the mouth to everyone watching.

Does anybody actually care about the characters/narrative at this point? I know I sure don't; I'm basically watching it because I like Eichorst and I hate myself.

I think all the non stop girl bickering with Dutch and also whiny kid really add to the show.

I give Dutch and Nazi Vampire's backstory a pass because this show almost had a nazi vampire tentacle rape a girl and that is just the dumbest loving thing ever.

I hope the auction goes sideways because Quinlan just wakes up in the morning, goes "oh wait, I'm a practically immortal warrior lol" and just goes in and takes the book by force. I know this show isn't always about logical choices, but this still irks me.

This show is the most Toronto I've seen on TV. I guess this is what it was like for people from Vancouver watching The X-Files?

"Hey how are we gonna make Union Station look like NYC?"
"I know! Let's park an NYPD cruiser out front!"
"DONE! It's indistinguishable from NYC now!"

The show makes me feel good since it's Toronto not being NYC that's getting destroyed in a vampire plague.

Of course it doesn't occur to anyone to just photocopy the Lumen. That would be too logical.

What if the Lumen contains hidden passages written in special ink that isnt copied or some other obscure way of protecting its knowledge?

No poo poo. If Quinlan can daywalk, what's preventing him from doing just that.


Also, I hope the whole thing with acknowledging Marlo having a silver grill was a setup for him to bite a strigoi. With hilarious results.

According to a certain unrelated book series, it does

Also, if you were trying to sell a rare book that's going to fetch over a million dollars would you allow one of the interested parties make photocopies of it and making it (to your knowledge) worthless to one of your bidders?

Edit: and the other bidder is interested in being the sole possessor of the knowledge of that book? Let's undermine the value, yes.

Eichorst keeping getting away is pretty ridiculous by now, but on the other hand getting him off the show would remove approximately 150% of its charm. If having completely incompetent protagonists is the price I have to pay for watching that brilliant rear end in a top hat, so be it.

Only legal way out of New York, everything else is quarantined.

Of course this is actually a terrible way to quarantine a city full of vampires but who cares it's The Strain

Also Palmer didn't get ripped in half like wet newspaper. I have the bluest of balls. Guess that means Nora/Fett won't be a thing either too. On the otherhand obnoxious romance subplots have all been resolved.

Right? I was NOT expecting that. At this point they'll probably have Palmer become bff's with Eph and his gang.

Well I guess that makes sense, even if it departs from the books. I read somewhere that Mia Maestro landed a major role in Scandal this season. Probably tripped over herself jumping from this ship.
