Starts out with genuinely creepy, unsettling poo poo, to that stupid kid's dumb poo poo, to excellent auction scene, to complete schlock with the train sequence and subsequent electrocution which I was laughing extremely hard at, right into an Ed Wood monologue, holy poo poo.

I also wish the threat of the little worms being everywhere when you kill them - especially with massed gunfire - other than the token few times a main pointed down and says 'watch the worms'.

So how did that cholo firing squad not rip through the van while firing straight at it? Protag power to the rescue I guess.

I guess you can assume it was part of Fet armoring it up earlier. Like how the semi running into it gouged a hole in the side but didn't actually pierce the back area.

Also, is it me or did it seem like they cut something in that scene because when Gus went to check on stuff the door to the back compartment was all ruined and hanging off it's hinges.

I can't believe they have kept him around this long. Was so hoping that this episode was going to end with "and Zach got on a train to grandma's, and he was never heard from again".

Rick and Morty finale had more emotional impact.

Also, Palmer taking Coco's(?) heart was interesting because in the books it was Setrakian who kept his lovers infected heart in a jar.

Ahaha, they really have no idea what they're doing with this stupid D-tier drama. The writers think viewers actually care about a terrible child actor as a leverage point and don't realize of all the retarded unbelievable non-human behavior in the plot the presence of a child actor central to their story will always be a guaranteed to collapse into rubble

Setrakian kept his wife's heart in the show until Palmer stole it as a trophy, I guess it is meant as some symbolic expression of Palmer making a turn to see from Setrakian's point of view after mocking him for his sentimentality.

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.

Well good thing my girlfriend loves that show because without her on the Strain I have no real reason to continue.

It's Nora's fault anyways. Why in the hell did she even hesitate after Zach yelled "No"? She has no doubt that his mother is just another puppet from the master. She should have lopped that head off as soon as she had a chance.

I think we're missing the point, he ripped her open with just his hands. Meh finale, super fast moving vampires are so dumb too, just use slow motion.

That, and it's a good way to deny The Master control over her body. When she died, Eichorst said "Now she has loyalty" or something like that, implying that The Master would keep her around as a slave to taunt Palmer.

Are you talking about Palmer? He puts down the surgical tools in the camera shot immediately preceding him picking up her heart.

Setrakian's wife's heart was also a lifetime supply of worms to drop in his eyeballs. Maybe Palmer is going to be grinding up Coco's worms as a replacement for Master blood? I dunno, this show is dumb.

I love that they had that whole auction scene and at no time did the good guys think to mention that Eichorst is a vampire. Marlo from the Wire may well have reconsidered selling to a literal human-devouring monster, but Zetrakian didn't bother to bring it up.

He's told them Eichorst wanted the book to end the world and they didn't care. Why would they care about a nazi vampire?

Still feels like something they should have mentioned. "Thought we were exaggerating before? That guy is literally a vampire."

Also:

"I'm a builder of abbatoirs who for some reason operates in the city limits of New York. I only find it a little strange that I'm called upon to build an abbatoir inside of a city, and one currently under quarantine. The abbatoir has oddly large, human-sized cages in it. There are currently vampires roaming the streets, eating people, a fact now obvious to everyone, and we were hired by an incredibly creepy German man. What could this abbatoir possibly be used for? I have no idea."

Anyone else think Palmer is going to secretly help the good guys to get revenge now? And goddamn I'm glad Coco bit the dust, their lovey-dovey scenes were gross and awkward and her trying to suddenly act like a badass negotiator was obnoxious.
