We also see her being anointed with special "emergency security powers" by the council and giving a speech at the UN.

This terrible season didn't even have an arc of storytelling, idiotic poo poo just kept happening for no particular reason with no detectable consequence - at least S1 had that confrontation with batboy. 'The Strain' and its directionlessly vague version of the abrupt end of civilization looks like extra dogshit compared to the (short as heck) debut season of 'Fear the Walking Dead', haha

It may have been plagued with awful teen characters but was actually well paced and somewhat thrilling in its best moments, everything 'The Strain' isn't. Except for the teen actor plague part!

How the gently caress can Ephram get dozens of head shots on movin targets with a pistol but couldn't hit Eichorst with a rifle when Eichorst was standing completely still. They should kill everyone but the old Jew, Eichorst and the Luchadore and have those three go on wacky adventures ala Aqua Teen Hunger Force

There are a lot of bad child actors/characters on TV, but this Zach is undoubtedly the worst of them all.

Or the opposite - how does a show like Shameless, or Ray Donovan find these great child actors that only get better as they get older? What do their casting director people know to look out for that The Strain and Sons of Anarchy don't?

A lot of it comes down to writing, there's no acting in the world that can save a character that only serves to shackle the progress of the protagonists.

Yeah I'm really hesitant to blame the actor. The character is written as dumb as a stump and given nothing to do but make things worse for everyone around him.

If I couldn't get past how loving stupid the kid and the cdc mexcian lady who lost her mom in season 1 was will I be able to get through season 2? Edit: I made it to the end of season 1 but didn't care enough because of the above to watch season 2.

Final scene of Season 3: *Satrakian's blade hovers precariously over Master's incapacitated body, while Quinlan is getting ready to decapitate Eichhorst, paralysed by Master's pain. Everything depends on Satrakian's ability to calm himself and deal the final blow* Zach, still human, unturned: "NO!!!" *Satrakian is distracted and his weapon wavers* *Master bites Satrakian; Eichhorst wakes up and uses his moment of surprise to tear off Quinlan's head* *Credits roll*

Is it just me, or does it feel like mostly female characters have been shuffled off this season? Coco is dead (for real) Nora is dead, Dutch has deserted them for stupid relationship reasons and Justine seems to have been shuffled off in accepting Palmers dodgy job offer.

Opening card for season 3 is 10 years later... then Zach comes into frame looking like a pudgy manchild wearing those catgloves with the fingers cut off. He spends the next thirteen episodes eating the food that they're trying to ration, the director spends way too much time focusing on this storyline

I waited til the season was winding down to read the second book, and I'm glad that it didn't go in the direction the book did, and I'm not sure a lot of that would have worked for the show. Killing off Setrakian and Eichorst (as well as Palmer) would be the worst. I also can't see them ditching the current premise for a post apoc Vampire fascist show.

The opening scene of the last episode indicates were getting that last part. It would also majorly improve the plot. Especially Zachs.
