"The Madness continues to spread on #TheStrain Ep. 5 opens with creepy commentary by Setrakian as the plague has spread across the globe. We find Eph and Dutch using themselves as bait to trap a strogi, but we will get back to them laterā¦. Our courageous Fet is at it on his own tracking strigoi like a kid in a candy store, he is in his element. One of my favorite parts of this series is how they unveil character backstoriesā¦ Pack your bags we're going on a trip with Setraikin Amsterdam 1972 to a brothel in pursuit of Mr. Kruger. I can't believe I'm writing this, but poor Eldritch has become the living dead without the white, much to Eichorst pleasure. The icky moment of this episode when Eph seemed to have a grasp on what makes the strigoi tick. I was fascinated by the outcome of his dissection and the effect of the microwave frequency. Feraldo is faced with another setback, this is a woman who is looking for results NOW! Fet is off following his strogi red dots and finds himself in new territory facing a level of strigoi intelligence that appears to be plotting their own plans of attack. Present Day: Quinlan and Setraikin guise from the Lumen away to trap the crimson worm and stop the Master. Backstory: Setrakian finds his man and we are treated to a silver bomb taking Kruger down. This back story takes us to a horror lovers wet dream, a hidden room of bloody body parts that shows us a menacing side of Setraikin as he cuts up Kruger in divine Hannibal fashion *applause* How awesome was it to see Fet propel beneath Central Park putting in work to find the strigoi hive. NYC Command Center: Fet reveals his findings to Feraldoā¦. Up until the strgoi opened the cage, I truly thought Eph and Dutch figured it out. Back to the bottle, umm I mean scratch board. Setrakian makes an alliance with the devil in the form of Eldritch, society is doomed šØ Till next week strainiacs ------------------------------------------------ #VampsBoomRecap #guillermodeltoro #chuckhogan #thestrainfx #vampapocalypse #strainaddict #strainiacs
