So what sort of scale are we looking at here? It seems like it's already far, far to late to keep this contained. I enjoyed it. A few questionable things but this probably isn't a show that you try to think about too much or the whole thing unravels.

I just really love how poorly everyone is handling this situation.

DarklyDreaming posted:I think the implication is that by the time that happens all you care about is blood, blood and more blood Yeah, I really like that he had no reaction at all. These people got out of a quarantine that killed everyone else plus they look half dead and no one seems phased by it. At least the transformation explains why the 4 survivors aren't freaking out. I'm hoping things escalate and it's not just the old man and CDC doctors fighting this thing while everyone else is somehow oblivious to it.

Basebf555 posted:I think at this point Eph doesn't trust that this problem can be fixed through normal channels. He's worried that if he reports what happened they will think he's crazy and lock him up for evaluation or something. Who the hell would not believe him? He had the body of the Pilot which was all kinds of hosed up and a quick glance at one of those other survivors should be enough for most people to realize something is not quite right. This show is heading towards Helix territory. At least it's more fun than Helix though.

savinhill posted:Yup, Eph hosed up bad by burning the pilot's body, being able to show his boss that instead of a cell phone vid would have carried a lot more weight against the boss's denial. Well to be fair there's about a million different things that could've be done to get this situation attention. At this point it's best just to assume that no, people will not do the right thing. I think overall it's getting better though, the breakfast scene was interesting.

Questionable choice to defend the shows character decisions. It's basically the laziest version of this the writers could come up with:A A 2 3 5 8 K posted:There's also the fact that competent enough police or CDC work shutting down the threat wouldn't leave much of a show.

savinhill posted:I like this show. Sure, its not highbrow or a serious drama, but its not trying to be. It's a fun, gory monster show. I find it entertaining enough that I'm not bothered by most of the stuff people are complaining about. The only real thing I don't like is the Puerto Rican gangster character, I wish they could have given all his screentime to Russian exterminator. I'm not really bothered by a lot of the stuff either. I do find it really weird that people are defending the writing though. Avasculous posted:
Nah people would just assume that's business as usual obviously. CODChimera fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Aug 17, 2014 |

That FBI agent not wanting to stop a guy covered in blood from attacking someone in a car was hilarious. Then they both get killed by a snake from the guys mouth and still no one really gives a poo poo. Then a bunch of cops run over and beat up the protagonist after he successfully defended himself from the blood covered monster which is still somehow running around attacking people. At least those bits were funny though. Really hoping things will escalate next episode but at this point I'm wondering if it ever will.

InfiniteZero posted:This show is worth watching because it is making spergs lose their poo poo because it is taking its time explaining the "rules" of the show and explaining why certain things are happening the way they are. I doubt anyone is losing their poo poo so much as laughing at how silly some of this stuff is.

Ohhh so that explains how the coverup is so effective. There are Ninja Vampires running around killing people. Good move adding them though, this show needs to just go crazy.

That girl running out of the store and surviving was the funniest thing. I wish we got more moments like that.

I like how the kid and the hacker are fully onboard the 'they are vampires' train right away. Makes a nice break from the police who are just painfully hilarious to watch.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:The incubation period moves at the speed of plot. But I think the show has tried to get across that you will become a vampire more quickly if you are drained dry, as opposed to suffering an incidental worm. It's like everyone wakes up in the morning and has just forgotten about all the horrors that happened during the night. Whoever said that this is the most boring apocalypse ever was completely right.

That guy turning to shoot the other guy after he gave him the gun was really funny and even more funny that he missed. It was a cool idea but it's been absolutely butchered by this point.

Generic American posted:Helix is, I think, technically worse, but as far as entertainment goes, I definitely enjoyed it more than The Strain. I mean, at least I could laugh at Helix and have a good time with how bad it was. The Strain, on the other hand, is just a painful slog with the occasional bright-spot that just gets buried beneath the poo poo before it can even breathe. Yeah agreed. Helix was way more entertaining than this.
