This episode of Bloody Sunday discusses season one episode ten of The Strain on FX titled “Loved Ones”. This episode, though enjoyable, didn’t do much to further the story overall. We had the big shift at the end after finding the whereabouts of Kelly, but that was more or less it. Still, that is a pretty big deal. How that’s going to play into things… who knows. I still think she’s gonna end up on the Strigoi Team 6 out there. It’s also still hard to tell at this point the exact extent of the virus outbreak. How bad is society? In one place things are running smoothly, in another it’s chaos on the streets. All in the same city. We have 3 episodes left.

ALL INTRO CLASSES AT PHIT ONLY $249 THROUGH OCTOBER 3rd, 2014!

The kids are at it again!

For the second time this season, Mike leaves the SRM gang to its own devices. And, just as you’d expect, there were glitches, tangents, arguments, failed jokes, and interruptions. So…no different than any other episode.

Still, we’d love your feedback, so please, rate and review us on iTunes, send us an email [email protected], or hit us up via twitter (@SRMPodcast, @MikeMarbach, @PhillyDeeWay, @BrotherlyRob, @TheJoeMoore)

This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 1 episode 8 of The Strain on FX entitled “Creatures of the Night”. In spite of Dr. Nora Martinez’s best efforts to bring it down, this was a really entertaining episode. Characters are crossing paths, lots of vampires, a little exposition and a “big” death. Still lots to happen in the remaining 5 episodes.

This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 1 episode 7 of The Strain on FX entitled “For Services Rendered”. Overall good episode with some progression, but we’re nowhere near the level of chaos we expected by this point. We kind of furthered some stories a bit, but overall not much movement… except for the end which saw the arrival of a new team.

This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 1 Episode 7 of The Strain. Mixed opinions on the episode, but it’s generally agreed this was a filler episode. A stretch to get us further into the chaos to come.

We didn’t talk about it in the episode, but the actual title of this episode is “occultation”. To get into that briefly, occultation is:

“an event that occurs when one object is hidden by another object that passes between it and the observer.” 

So that’s true in the literal sense with the eclipse. The second definition is:

“It can also refer to any situation wherein an object in the foreground blocks from view (occults) an object in the background.”

To me that could be the fact that the real outbreak that right now is happening in the background of the series only visible by a few is being obscured by the government and the German’s vampire company itself.

IN WHICH:

Rob and Mike spend more time thinking about “Throw Mama from the Train” than the people who actually made it did.

And David nails a pun…20 minutes too late.

Study Hall

This is the first episode of a new podcast dedicated to spending time talking about “The Strain” on FX. The first episode made it clear this would not be a chore. It certainly wouldn’t be as laborious as talking about “The Leftovers” on Reheated, though it’s really fun to talk about how bad that show can be. The Strain’s however was not bad. It was awesome and in this first episode covering, “Night Zero” we talk about how damn good it really was.
