Saw a random post about The Strain on reddit today and it brought back all the bitterness I’d been slowly forgetting. I’m still sad about how much better it could have been if they had stuck to the books more.

I contributed a LOT to the fandom this year and I loved every second of it. I had to leave a lot off the list, including my numerous screen capped photo manips, liked tweets by the cast, retweets by GDT himself. I had to cut it down to 9, so here are my favorites parts of 2018. ENJOY!
#9: Admittedly a guilty pleasure, Stan Lee’s Lucky Man wasn’t the greatest show, but for a hungry Rupert Penry-Jones’ fandom, it hit the spot perfectly! Samuel Blake was devious, smart, tortured, and lovely. I loved making gifs & manips to show support for the show! #8: 2018 proved to be a year that I pushed my photoshop skills beyond what I imagined was possible. Clearly, it was the Year of the Gladiator, but I blame Quintus for that. He remains to be an incredible well of inspiration. #7: I found SO MANY Ultra high definition, 4k, & True High definition promos to share with the entire fandom. I put them all on Imgur, which doesn’t downsize (and ruin high definition images). Find them all here: https://imgur.com/a/HukWLLh #6: For Xmas this year, I commissioned 12 absolutely lovely artworks. I did this because I felt the fandom needed a jolt & also, I wanted to give support to artists during the holiday season. <3 Happy Holidays! #5: I procured MANY Strain items this year, including this original artwork from the Mister Quinlan comics. I met Edgar Salazar (for the 2nd time) at SDCC this year & he had with him TWO original panel sketches, which I gobbled up immediately. Thank you Edgar! I hope you have an incredible year. #Cheers #4: Fox auctioned off all their strain props this year & I made out like a bandit! I nearly won an entire Quinlan ‘Hero’ costume (Coat, Jacket, Vest, Shirt, Pants, Belt Buckle, Shoes, Glasses) among OTHER things I’ve not posted yet. The items went well with my screen used Bonesword. SCORE! When I find the time to display my collection, I’ll be sure to post more pictures.
#3: One of the events this year that caused quite a stir in the heart of the true fandom was Guillermo del Toro posting intimate pictures of his Bleak House! I created a twitter moment to save all of the great things shared, and he promised more, so I hope we’ll get further insight into his collection in 2019. #2: Yesterday, I posted the final action chapter of my longfic, Straining for Originality. I know most people look down on fanfic, but I’ve used it as an exercise to practice world building and character development. When I started on this endeavor, I never imagined it would become the most popular Strain fanfic in the world, but here we are. This will be my last fanfic. I think I’ll try my luck at original fic next. Wish me luck 2019!!!
#1: Ah, & here we are. IMO, the best event of the year. Rupert made my year by sending me the most lovely tweet. I know it will disappear in two months, as all of his words lately are fleeting, but this made my year. It kept me going & kept my spirits high when much hate was sent my way. Thank you Rupert.
I’m not sure what the next year will hold, but I hope it’s full of adventure and accomplishment for each and every one of you!
Cheers my friends! HAPPY NEW YEARS!
Approaching a year since the show ended...
And I still feel sad when I think about how much better it could have been.
Mr. Quinlan, The Born

Little spoiler of what’s to come
About a month ago I ordered a very high quality piece of artwork to be done of Quinlan, from an artist I’ve bought from twice before. He does have a tendency to be late with deliveries, maybe because of how high profile he is, so it won’t be done in time for the season finale. But for sure, the final piece will be worth the wait. I’ll post the sketch when I get it from him.
Once I get the sketch and final art and post them, I’ll be done with this blog, by the way. It was nice talking to some of you fellow Strain fans these past few years. I’m not going to bother with a long goodbye or anything. Just keep an eye out for my parting gift to the fandom whenever my artist stops slacking lol.
This is the way the Strain ends ...
Not with a bang, but a whimper.
I didn’t write a review of the last episodes because the writing rubbed me pretty badly all around. From the construction of the meandering narrative to the cheesy dialogue between characters, I was cringing far too often.
Keep reading
I liked portions of this show. There was occasional cool stuff. But I LOVED the potential of it: the vampire lore meets science. The angry old...
We live in the golden age of television, but this show wasn't gold. Wasn't even silver. It was just a show that faked towards ambition, then too often aimed low. I hoped for more, but I guess that's the way the worm turns.
Brilliant!!!
The Strain “The Last Stand”
I am very happy to say that I DID enjoy last night’s series finale, but it seems there’s some who didn’t. It also seems to be the same fans who are obsessed with the whole ridiculous “phallus fallacy” and other such nonsense. Anyways, I’m happy and will continue to write about “The Strain” whenever it makes sense, while these people, well, I guess they’ll continue with this circle jerk, eating each other’s pussies while fantasizing about their version of Quinlan. Pretty sad, pathetic existence if you asked me.
You can get off your knees now since the writers are done and the show is over. ;)

The Strain Series Finale
The books were better in every way. There were far too many things the show writers changed that left such big plotholes. The search for the Lumen was pointless. Everything the show did about the Lumen was pointless and a waste of time. In the books the Lumen led to the discovery that the Master could be killed by destroying his birth site. In the show, lol let’s just nuke his face. Plus the Master is not stupid enough to go directly to them. But hey, we need to wrap the show up so let’s dumb everyone and everything down. Okay. The pacing was godawful ever since they deviated hard from the books. The mythology with the angels being taken out was a bad move. There’s so much more I could get into with how badly the writers handled everything, but I don’t want to waste my time and effort anymore with the show. Quinlan was the only good thing. The rest, ever since they killed off Nora and did their own thing, was shit. Oh, and Eichorst and Setrakian were okay too. Quinlan and those two were the only good parts of the show series beyond the canon divergence from the books. Thank god it’s over.
