The Strain has been doing better in the ratings department since the first half of its second season. That is due mostly because of the increase in quality of the story arcs and how interesting in general the second half has been. The focus this season is straying away from The Master somewhat while gravitating towards our heroes and villain's acquisition of the elusive Occido Lumen. It seems that the closer they get to the ancient book, the further from their grasp it becomes.
This Sunday's episode of the The Strain, 'Fallen Light', is the penultimate episode of this second season. Only one episode remains and all the players, good and evil, are setting up their plans to get their hands on the Lumen. The episode this Sunday gets everyone in place for what should be a no-holds-barred hour of greedily grasping for the Lumen while attempting to wrest control of the city from each other. What is interesting about the episode this Sunday is, on the cusp of a war, you can see what really and truly matters to these characters. We get an idea of what is important to them and who they would rather see kept safe from harm.
What I enjoyed most about this Sunday's chapter of The Strain is that you can feel the tension rise as the hour progresses. Both sides of the struggle have been working tirelessly toward their respective goals and have suffered casualties. Every character is present in this Sunday's episode and their story should come to a head in the finale on Sunday, October 1st.
Here are some quotes from the episode this Sunday. Try and figure out who said what -
"Nothing good comes easy."
"The Bioweapon works, we just need a new plan to scale it up."
"Is this your plan? It sucks"
"It seems we have no choice but to trust each other"
"This is a mockery of our Democracy"
"The white has brought a new blush to your cheeks"
"If you do not appreciate his gift, I can easily reclaim it"
"There is much more to come"
"I never stopped loving you"
I hope you all enjoy the episode on Sunday night! Have a great weekend everyone!
