This week’s episode of The Strain went off into some Hitchcockian places.
Here’s our review…
What, no luchador?
No Angel de Plata fighting vampires in grainy black and white?
You cant just promise me hot luchador action and not follow up on it, consarnit!
Seriously, imagine Angel versus Eichorst!
A luchador versus a Nazi vampire, its like someone filmed the deepest recesses of my subconscious.
The drama inTheStrainis not the subtle kind.
You remember the dude that Eichorst gave the job to after he tossed the dudes predecessor off a balcony.
Yeah, that dude was as corrupt as the day is long and he recognized poor Eph.
He ended up tossing the douche off the train in a bit of poetic justice.
I guess the CDC needs a new chief officer now.
Ephs only company on his journey into paranoia was a few cans of cheap beet.

Last week, Vasiliy Fet was arrested by Justine Feraldos roving band of peacekeepers.
Well, he did blow up a major subway tunnel.
There was even a vampire in the wall sequence that I wont soon forget.
Lets just say, Feraldos boys have a new appreciation of silver and rebar.
As for Feraldo herself, this weeks installment went a long way in humanizing her.
Sadly, one of those infected was her own nephew.
Creem soon gained respect for the old man and give him a new lead on the book.
Even more ambiguous, was the arrival of a new vampire who wore some kind of awesome bone sword.
