Looks like there were two episodes already available on demand. And if I may say, Kelly is FREAKY!!! The feelers, quality control of the newly turned, hardcore! So what is everyone else's thoughts on this show? I see that there are some normal articles about how television has ruined another great novel series. I haven't had any real issues with season one. Season two just started and i'm excited to watch it. So far the second episode is a little slow, looks like they are taking a little time out for character updates and backstories. And so the story is told of how Setrakian obtained the fabled cane sword of Sardu. I feel for Nora and the emotional trauma she suffered. But everyone is suffering some kind of shock or loss and I think in the book she is so much stronger and her TV character seems to fall short. Not the actress herself of course, she's receiving direction to act a certain way. I like strong female characters, but yes retain that humanity that makes you feel. I just think Nora needs to grow a bit.
Lets pause a second. Does anyone remember if you were watching a TV show, the majority would be the TV show and the rest would be commercials. Now why does it seem like these days we get commercials with a splash of TV shows.
I dunno why but I got a sudden craving for eggs... This is what happens when you have too much time during commercials.
I see they think they are on to a possible combatant against the infection. We'll see how those trials go. But again, Kelly man. Wow, her and her feelers are just creepy!
Now do I catch up on Mr. Robot or go get some things done?

The Strain Season 2 Episode 1 (Spoilers)
Technically this should be the start of the televised version of the second book, "The Fall". But it seems like season 2 is starting the way the original book, "The Strain", started. I'm okay with this. I liked the origin story in the book and they seemed to have captured it well. By the way I am indeed writing this as i watch the episode. Getting caught up on TV shows and movies can be a bit of a chore sometimes. Okay now it just took an interesting twist. I'm wondering if i'm spoiling the book that i'm only about half way through reading. Thought the first couple of episodes would be safe to watch being that I read some of the second book already. The vampire is always looked at from a religious angle. I admit freely that I have not seen every vampire movie or TV show, but I can't think of any that ever tried responding to the threat from a scientific or medical perspective. I love how Ephraim Goodweather just knew it had to be a virus of some sort he could cure and fought the evidence in front of him. Since I have not finished the triligy i hold out hope he finds a cure. Something tells me Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan are not those kinds of writers. Maybe I just misunderstood Zach, but I read his character in the first book then watched season 1 of The Strain and thought, man i was way off with that one. And congratulations to Kelly, for becoming a mother, again.
