Re: TV: The Strain (FX) (Del Toro)
I just finished S1. I did not like in introduction of the Vamp FBI or whatever that was. Why didn't they burn or explode the casket / cabinet in the finale? Did they explain why the old man can hear the master?

excuse me, but it is the VBI, thank you.CopperTom wrote:I did not like in introduction of the Vamp FBI or whatever that was.
I hated the intro too. They just kind of left it hanging there, then showed 4 more episodes, then said, "wait until next season to see who they are".
I'm only watching season two until they tell me who these VBI guys are.

it's mostly just characters behaving like complete dumbshits and failing to accomplish everything they try because of narrative contrivance. the fact that those moronsCopperTom wrote:What were the major plot holes, iyho?LoathedVermin72 wrote:this show really only works if you don't think about anything at all whatsoeverCopperTom wrote:I just finished S1.

Yes, I really don't like when shows/movies have to make the characters retarded to advance the plot.

I anticipate turning this on at 845pm, and provided I am not too sleepy, I will live tweet my viewing experience.

This show was atrocious in season 1, I'm actually really looking forward to how crap it will be going forward.
TV to laugh at.
