We've been the best team all year.

They're just finding out.

Well, if they had done that they wouldn't have managed to air anything before the German came calling.

Considering that they managed to reach the Master's lair and Setrakian has his name on the front door of his shop, it's more stupid that they weren't prepared for retaliation.

I liked the total lack of bars on the windows. How many decades has he been at this without figuring out that might be a point of vulnerability?

That said, I love this show so far warts and ridiculous Master makeup and all. Kind of feel like this is a classic, "It's just a show; I should really just relax," situation.

So I definitely enjoyed this show despite the flaws and will be back for the next season but the finale was pretty limp. I know it's based on books but they should have said "gently caress the books" and found some way to have Setrakian take out Eichhorst to give the finale more impact since the master had to escape. Or if they couldn't have done that, they should have written in something else for the same sort of effect on the story. The heroes need a drat victory of some kind.

Empire Strike Back gets away with ending the way it does because the heroes already blew up a drat Death Star and we know they will pull it together and fight back. The Strain folks? They uhh, have not established the same track record for competency. It wasn't even the first time they lost a direct confrontation with The Master! It didn't feel like a finale, it felt like yet another episode ending like this.
