Only odd thing I thought of during the episode is that the sex scene went on so long. Was expecting them to get interrupted shortly after starting that after the nap afterwards.

The show is just OK. I think it starts slowly and builds up a bit. There are worse things out there.

That master reveal was so disappointing. Could they have picked someone other than Fatty McVampire? I mean come on...

Whose car was the "SRS-GUY" license plates ?
We now know the vamps have .. erm... "Circulatory vision".

..and another episode that was drawn-out for no good reason.

P.S, that kid is the worst 'actor' ever.

Yep, pointless episode, could have done the wife thing i n like 10 minutes instead of drawing it out forever. I was kinda hoping the wife became one of the hunters. Where are they now, btw?

I like how the city is still blatantly unaware of the major desastor that is happening. You hear glass breaking, car alarms and emergency sirens, but everyone goes on their mary way of life.

When the hell will the Vamp squad show back up? They haven't even given a clue about that since the lawyer got a spike in her head.

I have a felling when this show concludes Efrium will be feeding blood to his wife's heart too.

Was a bit slow of an episode, but will probably be one that later we see begin showing several key points for later.

Do wonder why we haven't seen more from the vamp vamp-hunters.

Eh pretty blah episode. Now I'm just game planing in my head how they are going to kill the head guy, I mean even the right hand man seems to be too much for the old man in the past episode and the old man says the only way to stop them all is to kill the main guy. Probably involves the hunters with some way to lure him into a trap.

I am done with this show. It is just bad. There is no reason we need an entire episode dedicated to his bitchy wife. And, top it off with they are obviously setting her up to be a future plot point, after meeting with sausage fingers.

While true, the problem is, there is nothing else on at that hour... so, it wins by default, unless you like watching reruns.

Sunday Night Football. I don't think I've ever actually seen this show in it's live slot. I have always DVR'd it. The Leftovers and now SNF take precedence. At least, the actors are good in those shows.

Football just started...(and it is debatable if that is better or not--highly depends on who is playing, and how many other people are bitching at you to change the channel) and HBO is too expensive to add for what you get.

I have no doubt that 'The Strain' would have been cancelled if it was in a M-F prime time slot. Having it on Sunday night saved its bacon.

Don't know about that. There's a lot of bad stuff at the 10pm slot most nights.
