FX's The Strain

Is that number with or without commercials I wonder? Most of the recent episodes have been that long but have included commercials. Makes me think 1 hr slot with a little overrun.

 

As shown so commercials.

 

Basically a normal episode then. Hope they move quick then. Let's do this thing.

 

Decent--if somewhat predictable--end to the series, and a very decent season overall.

 

Yup....
nicely wrapped-up.
I'm glad it's over.

 

Eh...I thought they'd top the Setrakian/Eichhorst showdown episode a couple of weeks ago but I don't think it did. That was the best episode of the season by far. It overcame it's limitations b/c of the relationship between the characters. Maybe that's why the finale was disappointing for me. The conflict between the Master and Quinlan really fizzled and then you're left with the two worst characters of the bunch.

Oh well...Anyone catch this?:

 

Hadn't seen that...cute...

 

And then there's this...

 

In a way I kind of miss this show. It was so '80s in its schlock, only filmed through better cameras and with the benefit of hindsight. It was good.

Now, most children Zac's age only get to detonate one nuke in their life. Zac got his Zac on with a two-fer. Lucky kid.

I'm reminded of Norman Mailer, who used the euphemism "fug" to replace a certain four-letter word in The Naked and the Dead (1948). Maybe Zac has provided a lasting euphemism of his own, as in, "That was Zacking horrible," or, "I can't believe that Zac stole my car and then ran off with my Zacking woman!"

Long live The Strain!

 

Have caught some Season 3 re-runs they've been airing and those are better than I remembered.

 

Lucky, kid or not, for having the chance of detonating a nuclear head? Gotta be kidding, they shouldn't exist in the first places. Those things kill people, animals and plants, and leave soil wasted for many may years.

 

Yeah, I think @EVOLVIST was being sarcastic there.

But your point is noted b/c I think this is one of the failures of the epilogue. Fet talks about how slowly the sunlight started coming back - well, wouldn't it have done that anyway with the Master still around? All the nukes of the world had supposedly already been used up, so he would have been in a bit of a pickle had he lived on right?
