I long for the days of Home Improvement and Reba.

There is a sitcom on PBS after Poirot wherein Ramsay Bolton has a girlfriend and a gay dad played by Ian McKellan. This is some weird [expletive].

Vicious. My manager keeps telling me it's hysterical and I have to watch it, but she's a weirdo and I haven't tried to watch it yet.

Let's all talk about how awesome The Strain is.

[SHOW]

Like the opening sequence last night with the Nazi putting on his human face. Or the Goth dude's wiener falling into the toilet and his Ken doll look. Or the smashed face of the airline pilot. Or really, anything. I'm jonesing to talk about this show.

I'm up to episode 2 but I'm enjoying it.

It seems weird to complain about the cliched Hispanic guy (Puta!) with all the other craziness going on. Not only is he a stereotype, he's an odd choice to transport your ancient evil across town.

Also glad Filch/Walder Frey gets to be a good guy.

Was so glad the undead daughter killed her dad. Walking Dead would have drawn that out in unbearable fashion.

For me, David Bradley will always be the bomb owning mumbler in Hot Fuzz. And of course, Walder Frey.

There are definitely some flaws with it. The dialogue is awfully on-the-nose, with characters just blurting out exposition with hardly a reason for it. But honestly, that's part of what I love about it. It really makes no bones about what it is- a high grade cheesy B-horror stretched out into a series. As long as they keep feeding me the creepy stuff, I am 100% on board.

It's hilarious how right you are.

Has it been explained yet the difference between the people who came back with their intelligence vs the ones that "died" and are basically vampire zombies?

Odd that the girl is able and willing to speak, and the others in the morgue were just "ARRGH"

Thing about The Strain is that nothing plot-wise has really happened. They're really drawing it out. Still haven't seen the master, dont know what happened to the rich old guy, etc. End of hour three and Goodweather and crew just now realized that the virus is a DNA altering entity, not just a traditional viral plague.

That said, it hasn't been even a little boring (except the family court drama) and every time it's over I wish there was more to watch. I love this show.

[Freed Roger]

can I just jump in on this show going forward, or should I track down the early episodes?
