    My husband watches this. What on EARTH is going on? I don't get it, it's weird, lol! Not my thing at all, but I laughed when a week or more ago, when the guy was "transforming" and his thingy fell off in the toilet when he was peeing :laugh:

    No kidding! I like how Guerllimo Del Toro made the vampires look more "biological", rather than the typical "cape and slicked back hair" vampires that make up the traditional folklore. To me, the vampires in this show are how they SHOULD be portrayed.

    I had an "Oh sh**!" moment there too. :noway:

    Hopefully, we won't ruin it for you then. It's getting pretty intense. ;)

    i'm enjoying it, seems a pretty stright forward story line though. 'the left overs' has me scratching my head a bit

    herm- new weird sci-fi type show to watch.. sign me up!!!

    I've been marathoning my way through Fringe- weird- and very odd ball House cross with X Files. Kind of liking the over acting and weird cases.

    Shrug- I have no shame- I'll watch anything as long as it isn't Hitchcock style scary- that stuff has to be on a case by case basis. Like it but I have paranoia issues.

    Weird is fine though.

    pumped about the upcoming syfy zombie series


    odd that i didn't identify them as vampires in the Strain. and for some reason still have a problem with that designation even though they obviously do fit the profile.

    I thought the first episode was just meh. It seemed to much like a direct rip off of Bram Stoker substituting a plane to NY for a ship to England. I like where it's gone since then. My favourite character to date is the Russian exterminator. I'm interested to see how he fits into the whole story line.

    I was a total Fringe-head when it aired... one of my top 5 sci-fi shows ever.

    Yeah, same here. Kevin Durand is an underrated actor.

    I read an article with Del Toro and he said he wanted the vampires to have more of a biological anatomy, instead of what we typically see with vampires. In a way, these things remind me of a creepier version of the old horror movie vampire, Nasferatu.
