Episode 11 "Dead End"
I thought the Eichhorst and Dutch Velders scenes were really creepy and I liked the way he brutally killed that cop to open the episode. Kind of funny how different Eichhorst was in the flashbacks and I liked that contrast. Great seeing Dutch try to rescue herself too and I thought the actress really nailed the traumatic experience.

Never eat noodles whilst watching 'The Strain,' it puts you right off. 
Having said that, I am loving it so far.

Because Palmer has bought them all off? I don't know the answer and I too have been wondering about it.

It's back.
Twenty three days later the world has gone down the toilet. The vampires have won and the only way forward is to take out the infected. All of them, but taking in account that there are now several million of them spreading out the world, nuking NY could possibly provide a solution.
That's Master's home. But would it kill the Master? I don't know.
What I do know is that the pilot for third season is beautifully done, and it's far more interesting than any episodes so far. The Strain is first one of the Autumn series, and if this is mark for the quality, we are going to have amazing season coming up.
Do you agree and also what did you thought about it?

It was very intriguing to see Del Toro's version of Screamers. They were properly scary, and the way it was filmed from first person perspective made it even more interesting, as it brought up tension in completely new way in the small screen.
So far I have only seen it used on one movie, and in it, the action worked as well as it did in this one. In fact, I could claim that they have completely thought on how to make this series even more appealing to the fans.

If it's one thing human known how to do well, it is the dirty game, and in the desperate times, desperate methods crown the king. The Master started this biological war, and humanity is doing their best to not fall back in that game. And they are not exactly afraid of using human subjects to conduct the tests.
Old and frail are first ones to go. I guess to them what the doctors are doing in the labs is a kind of relief, instead of being left behind to get turned to an undead being. Just what I believe will happen to Zack, if Eph doesn't manage to save him from his mother.
What I don't understand is why his mother doesn't turn him? Why is she saving him?
For some reason I don't know what else to say. Where to lead these thoughts because Guillermo's product is awesome. It's different and without any clear indications about to what is lurking beyond the horizon, the apocalypse deepens.
The world looks so bleak. Almost as if it has been washed out from any hope.
What do you think? How dark place will Guillermo take us in this season?

Oh man, the Master wants to get rid of all things that make humanity's life so miserable. But thing is will life under the Master going to be so fantastic. Vampires need blood to survive, and after turning most of the people to the tentacle monsters, there's not going to be life, but the end of life on Earth.
But it is nothing compared to the revelation that Quilan's father is the Master. The whole thing of being born out from turned mother boggles my mind. It is something I cannot comprehend completely, but I accept it being possible in the realms of fantasy. After all Quinlan is not the first half vampire in human mythology and I doubt he'll be the last.
Still, to live thousands of years to commit a suicide to save people that aren't his is so unbelievable. Not even ST:V's Seven of Nine dreamed about being able wipe out all Borgs from universe. Then again you look Gus's madness on trying to save his mum, and you start to think should the humanity just let it go and accept their fate under Master's rule, especially as he seems to be invulnerable to even to a decapitation by a silver sword.

Strange thing about consequences of killing of the Master is that nobody talks about the big worm, which squirmed into the storm drain at the after match. Almost as if nobody saw it happening even though it was quite the clear that they were all staring Master's corpse lying on the street.
Instead, the business is usual. Professor is completely lost. And same goes to Eph and anyone else. They simply cannot phantom that decapitating the prime vampire didn't actually work. Nobody has an answer and nobody's really saying anything about the hellish conditions New York is going through. Nobody other than a reporter, whose investigating the Fall of New York.
It is ugly business and desperate times calls for desperate measures. Officials force people into cleaning squads and go on as if they've been conscripted into the service, like infamous slaves before abolition. At elsewhere, Eichorst is feeling desperation, and commits to actions that are parallel to his services in the SS battalions. He is no better than terrorists by making vampire bombs.
Even though they were effective on spreading the infestation, the act doing wipe out most important people although the second blast was quite close to Fet and Feraldo. In fact, it was a miracle for Fet to catch the worm under the UV light. And strange as it was somehow Feraldo represents the only worm infection survivor.
How is that possible and what do you think will it take to clear out this infestation?
