Gore fans have a field day as the Ancients have a feast.
Here is our review of The Strain Season 2 episode 1.
It was a strangely paced illogical bit of head-scratching melodrama to cap off a fantastic season.
Things start off classy with an always-welcome Setrakian flashback.
Last season, the best parts of the series were the flashbacks to Abraham Setrakians youth.
The whole thing had this really cool Brian Lumley/Robert McCammon vibe.
You remember-the street gang like vamps who took Gus Elizalde into the fold last season.
Fet is still banking on a solid piece of rebar though.
More effective character work was the bonding session between Dutch and Zach.
But what about the bad guys you ask?
Also, believe it or not, The Master and Eichorst hatched their most vile plan yet.
For some reason, The Master dispatched his Nazi flunky to kidnap a bus load of blind children.
By episodes end, Eichorst gives the children to Kelly Goodweather, Ephs transformed wife.
The poor blind kids had been transformed into something-other.
Feelers, Eichorst called them and yeah, YEESH!
