Didn't see a thread for season 2, so I thought I'd start one.

I've liked the first two episodes so far, but this replacement kid is already getting on my nerves.

I've been travelling, so I need to catch up on both episodes in the next few days.

I'm kind of hoping that the kid turns into a vampire.

Me too. His acting and one facial expression is highly annoying. I know a lot of people didn't like the original Zack, but I'd take him over this kid any day.

I'd forgotten he had a kid until the whiny kid this season started throwing a tantrum........

After getting used to HBO quality shows, it is a bit of a step, but so far so good.

And yeah, the kid needs to go.

Kid is over the top antagonistic.

The Feeler kids are pretty creepy

Pretty solid episode.

The kid's tantrum tonight was ridiculous. My Dad would have pushed me out the front door to take my chances with the vampires. Now that I think about it, though, the vampires would probably have brought the kid back and begged the heroes to take him off their hands.

Got I just wanted to punch the kid in his face. Over. And over. And over.

Horrible little brat. Stupid story line.

If they're trying to make you hate the kid, they've succeeded.

Yeah... He's annoying. I'm kind of hoping he gets turned into a strigoi and someone has to kill him.

I liked how Eph handled his kids' tantrum. Shove his face against the glass with the vamp and make him stare at it.

I need some worm eye drops.

I like how Staten Island is dealing with the outbreak.

So why isn't the Army on Staten Island going door to door and wiping out vampires? People know these things exist but are just kind of going about their daily lives? State and local police wouldn't be able to deal with this. Evacuate the island and nuke it just to be safe.

I was pretty disappointed in the vamp commandos. All this time building them up and their first real mission: toast.

For real.


What's the point of wearing hoodies that cover your whole body if you can't use them to hide from the UV rays?

Exactly what my wife said.

1st 3 episodes have been pretty good. I thought the first one was the best. It was cool to see the Master's story and that he didn't start out an evil person/thing but through a evil twist of fate became one.

Oh and seconded on the worm eye drops. I had been wondering about Setrakian's age and doing the math, how a 90+ year old man could still be hunting vamps. Answer - worm drops.

I've been wondering the same thing. There was that one city official that doesn't seem to believe the infected aren't people anymore, and that killing them would be "inhumane". Isn't that right? Something along those lines?

Maybe that's why the military hasn't gotten involved yet.

I thought the revelation was that the Master has always been the Master, but Josef Sardu was unlucky enough to be chosen by the Master as his new body.

This.
He's always been who he was, just in a different body.

Well said and agreed. Didn't think of it like that. I guess I should distinguish that Josef Sardu appeared to be a good guy (his kindness to children) but you are right the Master has always been the Master and unfortunately for Sardu, chose him as his next body.

I like where the story line is headed this season. I could do without the kid, but I guess I can't expect perfection.

We are what three or four episodes in right? This season is already an improvement on the season, and the plot is actually moving along.
IJones23

That's right! The only real disappointment this season for me was the commandos going out like they did.

Now that the characters have developed a bit, this season is much better. Agree on the commandos. I like the backstories a lot.

Bump for tonight's show. I just watch last weeks again and noticed the actress that plays Kelly looked different. Did they change her out too?

Kind of a tie-in episode

Just watched the true detective season 2 finale.

I think I'll keep sticking with the strain, where my expectations are already low and I enjoy the show for what it is instead of getting catfished by hbo.

Why are the 'Spider kids' so different from other vamps just because they were blind?

That was my assumption, yes.

Sorry, I worded that weirdly! I meant...why does their blindness give them so many more "powers" the other vamps don't have. I get the things related to sight though, that would totally make sense.
