Wish I could get into books. I'm more for sophisticated manuals and the like. I would actually sit down and read an aircraft manual for a Boeing 737NG. I did read Inside Delta Force by Eric Haney though. That was interesting. I have some survival books and the like. One of them being about tracking. Like paw prints and such. Even have a SAS handbook. But novels? Nah...
I'm the only member of my family with a bookshelf which is pretty sad. Although my sister reads novels.
yah pretty much, except he does die when exposed to enough sunlight or silver unlike that super hero.
There was a series based on Blade and the way the vamps there avoided the issue was to wear head to toe uv protection in the form of motorcycle helmets and clothing.So, someone said "oh, just like Blade!" and the writer was like "what can we do to make him different enough not to get sued? Oh, sunlight CAN kill him, if he sunbathes on the beach for a weekend!"

Well, Del Toro did direct Blade 2. Theres a lot of similarities with that and Strain.
Yup. Was rewatching Blade and Blade 2 last night.
the thing about the show that is bugging me is that the city knows there are monsters romaing around in packs that shoot a 6' worm out of their mouth and kill people. If the city knows, the media knows and a story that big would be viral faster than Rosi McDonald eating a big Mac.
so where are the troops? why hasn't the area been turned into a warzone hunting them down. the whole idea that its being treated like a Ebola outbreak and the CDC is handling it is just stupid.

Stoneheart and $$$$$$$$
Man that "explosion" to bring down the building seemed weak AF... I mean unless that new hunter guy is twice as good in combat as the Master, I don't even see how it's possible that fight was going to even be remotely close. The show has already shown the old man is no match for the masters right hand guy... so ya..

That is a bit about why they introduced a few more characters to the TV series, like the hacker girl, to make that black out of info a bit more plausible. In the books basically all the vamps, having lived for centuries, have accumulated vast amounts of wealth. The Master is basically using all his accumulated wealth, along with certain promises to high ranking government and media officials, to keep the info black out going during his assault. In the books there was more than just Palmer and the CDC chief, but they weren't really named characters either.
Also, in the books, NYC isn't the only city being assaulted like this. It just happens to be where the master is at. He actually has a few lieutenants assaulting pretty much all major world population centers about the same time doing what he is doing.
Another thing, whenever anything is posted about it on the internet, his human sympathizers are there to do whatever they can to get is dismissed by the masses. His shills make it seem like the posts or videos are fake movie trailers, or bad costumes, or whatever.
Finally, as his influence spreads, he has his vamps and some human sympathizers take out infrastructure related to media spread in the books globally. Communications go down and get spotty every where as the vamps spread.
Guessing the TV show doesn't have the ability to delve that deep so are using a few key characters to sort of convey about the same level of media black out. I don't think it's effective as the characters as basically doing computer "magic" to pull it off. Not quite as bad as swordfish, but I really hate computer magic.
It's not like the Master hasn't been doing anything this whole time.I dunno, the vampire was training for 2000 years to beat The Master, so I'm sure he knows what he's doing. He just as to be prepared for The Master's speed.

He's even old than him since you know it's his dad and all.
