I have been keeping up with it. I'm planning on finishing it. It's a B level series imo, but I have had fun with it.

You know a show has gone down hill when you are excited it's the final season. I enjoyed season 1 and it's constantly gone down hill fast. I put it right there with Prison Break on show that declined extremely fast but still sucked you in to see how they end.

Wow, So glad I stuck around to see the end of the nazi. Pretty cool way for the old man to go as well.

Any way he survives in a way people would buy? Maybe the taking of the white gives him some immunity?

Then there's the warfarin issue. Yeah, he gone.

I think the blood thinner that was killing Eichorst will also kill the worms Satrakian would have gotten from being stung or bit.

I hope he doesn't die. I finally got the chance to watch the show last night on Roku. Couldn't get a signal to watch or record on Sunday.

I was thinking about it after watching the show last night, and Setrakian is the first actor I can remember who appears in my two favorite shows at the same time. And in one show is totally hated - Game of Thrones - and the other is a favorite if not THE favorite character - The Strain.

Heck, I have always liked Eichorst more than most of the "good" guys. Besides Setrakian the only "good guy" characters I like are Gus, Quinlan and Fet.

I've been meaning to watch it. Caught up in Deadwood, justified, and Fargo right now though.

I started that after a couple or maybe three seasons. I need to go back and start from the beginning.

It was good but it seemed like Fet and Dutch were just friends which probably pissed off Eph's ghost.
Also how did the dumbass Master not figure out Zach had turned on him? He had shot him point blank 2 minutes earlier.

I finally got caught up with every episode, except last night's. Guess I'll avoid a few posts til I watch it.

The fact that Zach made it this far, it makes me think he'll "redeem" himself before it's all over (again, I haven't seen last night's ep, so I'm just guessing). As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing that little shite can do to redeem himself. Too little too late, he'd caused wayyy too much damage for me to suddenly do a 180 & think "what a guy, good for him!" He's officially my most hated TV character of all time. Maybe I'd feel differently if he had some pizzazz or personality to offset the douchiness, but he has neither. Just a butthurt punk-arse brat.

I enjoy the show for the cheese factor TBH, but the conversation with Eph & Setrakian which turned out to be the setup for Setrakian taking out Eichorst, that was pretty damn clever IMO. Didn't see it coming, I figured both of 'em were gonna be standing til the final episode. Sad that Setrakian didn't make it til the end, but at least he got a big W for it...
