Yep, same when the pest guy (forget his name) threw the stigoi worker into the machinery and exploded everywhere.
No worms at all.
That's fair. The quality has dipped a lot so it's good they're wrapping it up next year.

Something shared with the Walking Dead franchise, where zombie bites can kill you with their toxicity, yet characters will happily smear themselves up to their tits in walker blood and guts.

If the strigoi are all coordinated again now, including using construction equipment, what is the point in the master?
The key to defeating the master is locking him in a silver lined coffin? Simple! Well no shit, I could have thought of that without the lumen. Why not just kill the crimson worm instead of letting it slither away?
Also yeah, it takes me out of it how care free everyone is around the strigoi and their worms. Like, it only takes one worm/ one scratch from their stinger and you're done.

The assumption is the Master has a new body and is coordinating the Strigoi construction workers.
I agree with them being comfortable around Strigois. Kind of reminds of me of how survivors deal with walkers in TWD in later seasons.

At least The Walking Dead is consistent though - zombie blood and guts were never shown to hurt anyone. One drop of Strigoi blood, on the other hand, has been shown to be lethal in the past. Now it's raining worms on a daily basis and the characters barely even seem to register it.
Isn't the theory with twd is that the saliva has some kind of crazy bacteria that antibiotics can't fight? Or I thought that was why bites kill so quickly, and that's why if you cut off a limb quickly enough you can survive. Although fear the walking dead with the guy who got bit on the neck surviving doesn't really make sense.

Yeah, the bites are deadly because of all the bacteria.

Watched my first episode in a year and a half due to being at a hotel for work.
I really do not like how they are doing the new Quinlan.
EDIT: Yeah, it's amazingly stupid how they just ignore the worms now. They even have CGI shots of the worms IN THE EPISODE and they act like it is nothing.
EDIT 2: The Seeker Pet shit is so goddamn telegraphed. It's clear as day that Kelly is the one controlling it and not Zach.

So I click on this thread willing to know if the latest episode was a good one, and I this is the first comment that I notice:
... it looks like it was!

Hey, it's still more realistic than when the show asked us to believe that any kid anywhere owns and plays a Vita.

Last episode was kinda eh. Glad they got to the hive, but it could have been done in a better fashion.
Also, every tunnel connects to central park?

Not sure if that's the case, because the zombie kid freaked a bit when it sensed Kelly.
During this episode I had the thought, "hasn't it been something like two episodes since one of the central villains last talked menacingly at one of the heroes (while the good guy inexplicably waits around and listens rather than immediately firing) before a minor scuffle after which the villain just fuckin runs away?" So I was glad they got back to that
I get Eph's plot armorhis dumb stupid kid is going to be used against him probably 3 or 4 more times over the next season so he's part of some dumb stupid bigger plan, finebut if Eichorst really wanted Eph to suffer while keeping him wouldn't he like, kill Dutch or something?

Didn't Fet blowup all the Vamps? Where the hell did this army come from?
I guess it was like, fake? As in the nest was just some of the munchers meant to distract Fet & Feraldo while the majority stormed over the park? I dunno, the perspective from Feraldo's base made it all super unclear.

That scene didn't make sense, their was no reason the vamps couldn't go to surface as well since it was dark, furthermore why do that sort of attack at night in the first place?

I wanted to like this show when it first came out... but holy fuck did it shit the bed like an elderly drunk in every conceivable way.
Yet, I will hang around to the bitter end and watch all of Season 4.
I hope Zak gets munched. Kid is the worst I have seen since in a long time.

LBR, he's going to be the sole survivor.

I've been away almost every Sunday and I had a (turrible hangover Sunday last week) Sunday to watch the latest two episodes...... Yup, it's still my favorite bad show 😹
That pet was pretty stupid lol.

If these Stregoi can spread so fast, how have they not taken over the world in ancient times?
They were kept in check by the other ancients. The Master is doing his own thing right now.
I got a job where the commute is 2 hours each way so I invested in some audiobooks. The first series I finished was the Strain. I actually really enjoyed it. It helped make sense of some things in the show that just haven't been spelled out, and with the show as a guide I kept picturing the actors I'm familiar with in the roles. Gotta say, I really miss Nora more after listening to the books. She deserved better.

Probably. Hopefully our hero made it out. Dude's a badass and to go out like that would be sad.

Cool bit of action to end the episode on, took them nearly two seasons to bust that nut though and let Quinlan cut loose/have the ancients do more than twitch in place lmao.
Only two episodes left in this season so hopefully they didn't waste the whole budget on those last few minutes.

How is Gus' mom still alive?
How did she get back in the apartment just seconds ahead of her son without him seeing her?
Or was she always there and it's just that Gus only thought to look in one room?
...
but yeah, the fight scene at the end was pretty cool. Nice to see the ancients actually do something for once.

Yea, it was nice to see the power of an Ancient (or in this case, Ancients!) for once. Figured they were going to die so mind as well go out swinging. One hit kills for random fodder but that's still a hundred times stronger compared to humans and probably 2-5x stronger compared to their guardians.
For the people who read the novels, how fast and powerful are the ancients and their guardians?

They should have shown it if that was the case. Im thinking one or two might survive.
I also thought it was incredibly dumb that Eichhorst found the Ancients so easily. How could they not tell that a dumb little kid was following them around?
