I am betting on the four people being like the german vampire guy. So maybe intelligent vampire vs psuedo zombie vampires like rest on board.

So for those that read the books, what is the master plan?  I mean it sounds like world domination.  However if that is the case, isn't that exactly the premise and problem with the movie Day Breakers?  The vampires take over the world but realize they are running out of blood supply because they killed off all the humans.  World Domination doesn't seem like the best plan for vampires.
 

Just saw this on ign which explains one of my questions.

Fuck Brighthouse! Felt so good to cancel them when I left FL.

Oh... Awesome show too!  Scary, GF wont even sit in the same room when it's on.

pfffft like that hasn't happened to you?    

I'm enjoying the series.

I like the pest control guy, hope he doesn't die soon. I get the feeling he's going to become "Mister Badass Vampire Slayer Guy"

I think so too



 

Yep



 

Funny how that city health inspector guy is usually the bad guy in most movies.  Hopefully he gets to play a good guy this time around and actually get some screen time.

The show is slow as shit! It better speed up soon.... I might start reading the books so I don't die of old age waiting for something to happen

having 80 commercials per episode doesnt help speed things up.

What are these commercials you speak of?

Tivo is you friend



 

I have a DVR, I was referiring to the length of the episode with so many commercial breaks.

I DVR it also, seems like over half of the run time is commercials, the rest is just lead up to the end of the episode!

Hopefully, it picks up tonight.  We've had three episodes of set-up and tension.  It's time for some sustained action.

 

scratch one asshole neighbor

wow, all the women in this show are incredibly weak and stupid.

Not the one married to one of the remaining four passengers, she used her husbands illness to get rid of her pesky neighbor.

 

She definitely owned it at that part. kinda sad they didn't write her into joining the team. i think she would've made a great character since she was so damaged.

the trailer for next episode showed the shed being opened, I don't think she's going to join the team, I think she's going to try to feed the team to her husband

I want to see what Kevin Durand's character is going to do. I'm convinced & told my wife that he's a vampire hunter.

I thought this review was pretty funny.

Well, we did find out that communications have taken a shit when Gus and Fatso were talking to the car dealers.

Man the people in this show are so dumb, I wonder if they're secret backstory is that they're from Under the Dome, cause those people are incredibly stupid too.  Why are these professionals compelled to do everything by themselves, not tell anyone, pretend to be detectives, and then destroy the evidence!?  Right after putting the dissected monster body in the incinerator one of them remarks that "nobody will believe them"...are they cereal?   Of course nobody would believe them (first they'd have to actually tell someone), they destroyed and scrubbed all the material evidence!  Nobody who'd really gone through such a bizarre event would scrub the evidence, so that would discredit their story.  And then  who discovers murdering zombie vampires and decides telling nobody is the first course of action? Ughhhh!

Then the woman with the vampire husband, she's all over the place, tells her husband she's taking the kids but then seems desperate to stay and talk.  Why doesn't she call the doctor herself?  And why doesn't Samwise call the police or CDC himself, guy doesn't need permission, why do they feel compelled to tell people what they are gonna do, just freaking make the call!

Then there's the wife's reaction, must be liberal. She sees what is obviously evidence of a possible crime, at least an animal attack and she proceeds to...not tell anyone and play 'investigator', really?!   She was concerned about her husband but then when he's a disgusting monster, that, that is ok with her.  She doesn't even have the instinct to back away, what the heck, I've been startled by bunny rabbits and she stays still and in arms reach of this thing! Whaaaat.  Nobody would act that way!  She is sad about her dead dog then but then when the neighbor might have hit it she decides he must die...wasn't her husband killing the dog err...worse?   And then what kind of neighbor is like, "sure I'll come beat your dog".  And again, "I'm gonna call the police", uh, calling the police is like drawing your gun, you don't tell someone you're calling, you just freaking DO IT!

Then the main characters still playing detective, trespassing into another guys home...again, and the women goes full derp and calls self defense "extermination" and would rather die and let the monsters keep killing people.  Ughhhh the stupid is compounding on itself at a geometric rate!  The horror!!!

The entire system is corrupted by Eldrich Palmer and The Master and even if Goodweather and the others told anyone, they would be silenced. Which we will discover later. Which is also why they are working alone with Setrakian to stop the Master themselves.

The vampire guy's wife has psychological disorder and is entirely dependent on her husband.

Kelly is just an idiot who deserves to be turned into a vampire.

I'm thinking shits finally about to go down, but the stupidity of a lot of these character is still staggering

 

Wife & I liked it. I guess we're dumb as shit.

...I am dumb ...

 

The "Nazi Officer" was a German Wehrmacht NCO in Inglorious Basterds.

If you read the books (The Strain series), you see that the OTHER master vamps want nothing to do with this master's plans, as they have their hidden empire built up and safe from common observation, and this other guy's fucking it all up.

 

I'm not really sure why I'm sticking with this.  

I only really like the rat guy and the old dude, everyone else I hope dies

yeah, I hope they all die except the old guy

Kinda glad those "FEDS" got what was coming to them.

after a slow start, shits finally starting to roll.

 

I like the rat guy, the old vampire killing guy and the nazi vampires. Show really is not all the great, It seems they do things just for shock value.

I just read a summary of the plot from the books.

This is going to be a dark show if they run out the full story.

I've stopped watching altogether.
Not willing to invest more time in shitty TV shows that drag on and on with no moneyshot payout.

Looks like it's been renewed.  So thats a good sign.

I'm enjoying the show

Me too. It's picking up steam now.
