I'm going to need Zack to meet that true death... but I give them credit for turning him completely evil now.

his bitch ass is having second thoughts after the master killed the indian dude

these writers BETTER NOT try to out think themselves..

cause I see them planting some bullsh*t seeds to show Zack "sacrifice" himself for mankind.

nope

not gonna be able to do I need this kid to get this Joffrey work

who is MORE of a hate-able prick?

whose acting career is essentially RUINED by their innate ability to play a insufferable jerk on a TV series?

Joffery or Zack?

I don't think the kid that played Joffery is no longer acting (at least not for now). If he wants to act again he'll be fine I believe, especially once GoT is over and the character is no longer a focal point. The kid that plays Zack is in my opinion a shitty actor (or maybe he has terrible direction). We're not supposed to like the character, but his acting is actually unbearable. However, he might be fine too, since The Strain really isn't going to be remembered for anything.

I wanted Eph to pull that trigger so badly, and blow his brains out.

I don't know...

many actors WAY before the internet had significant gaps if not failed careers because people couldn't separate them from the characters they played.

I'm old enough to remember that TV actors weren't respected and movie actors would NEVER do TV

they hated on soap opera actors...

theater actors were whole OTHER group

and as Friends made millions, Hollywood actors did guest appearances and received these big budget series especially as basic cable blew up

things got all mixed

but I think precisely BECAUSE of the internet it can be tough to just SHAKE such an ICONIC character

and you would be surprised The Strain has a HUGE following BEFORE the series and the series itself gets good ratings.

But I agree either Zack is a sh*t actor or is directed to be a sh*t actor...doesn't matter.

I don't think he is insufferable in a GOOD way.

and I wonder if his "bad" acting coupled with bad directing and writing the previous seasons...could really hurt his career

or are you right.

NO one really cares that much

Honestly I do not have much faith in the intelligence of the modern audience.

we will see soon enough

as far as character Zach was the worst.
in a weird way Joffry gets a pass for being an evil piece of shit from job. He no redeeming qualities or attachments.

but with Zach he has been an immature inconstient brat that won't accept reality.

He got a girl killed because he was in his feelings.
He got Nora killed to save his vampire mom
he has aligned himself with the master and vamps over his dad and humanity
he fucking set off a nuke

I said it a few pages back. I've watched a lot of tv and have seen my fair share of one dimensional kid characters, bad child actors or just bad child charcters.

Zach by far as been the worst EVER.

Is it possible to just reboot the show with Mr. Quilan... maybe a prequel. He was literally the best part of the entire series and we still don't know much about him.

...and just like that everything is back to normal? "Years" later? :lol:

They did Quinlan wrong, I think he would have beat the master like every other time they fought.

Had to have that cathartic ending with Zach and daddy at the expense of everything the show did right.

Welp its over, thanks I guess?

I'm gonna miss this shitty show. Quinlan got taken out like a roach.

:lol2::lol2:


So that was an ending... at least Gus loved and Zack died.

But what the fuck... Fret and Dutch aren't together.


I'm glad they didn't kill Gus like in the books,because it would of made this shit even more shittier....How the hell,you have source material and fuck it up badly :smh:


I understand,the Master is stronger than Quinlan,but dayum,they made him look like he was a regular Strigoi :smh::smh::smh:

They didn't even bring up the woman Fet was with at the beginning of the series....He just left her and saw her only once hiding at the airport.

That was so forced phoney predictable insulting manipulative crap.

So the damn nuclear winter he cause didn't change his mind?

The zombie girl?

Killing the tiger?

Starving children?

Zach should have torn asunder.

If the writers wrote the last 2 seasons like the final one?

they would still be on the air.
How the hell you fuck up a TV series when you have the source material..

I'm not saying to copy everything from the books,but god dayum there is no excuse why this series is so dayum stupid.

This was suppose to be FX 's Walking Dead,they manage to make this shittier than the Walking Dead

Fam, we have beaten this point down to an organic compound.

all the stuff is RIGHT THERE...

how you f*ck up something with the script set design and storyboards laid out over YEARS?

I think they saw Sin City and 300 and decided that was the best possible.

But it IS NOT.

Even though at this point in the game?

DIRECT ADAPTION...I'm talking panel to panel frame for frame?

Is a helluva lot better than the substandard sh*t we having to be subjected to.

At first, I was like :frozen: but then, I was like :clap:, cuz you're right. I'm just hangin around til the kid dies a horrible death.

I'm waiting for Zach to die horribly to. I will be so satisfied .

Every sci-fi disaster got some weak ass cac (dad) trying to save someone (zack) that's really been finished, like everyone else that got infected....them dragging out his final demise was like an endless case of diarrhea...every time you get offa the toilet thinking ur done...back you go !!! The moment Zack volunteered himself to go with the master at the end....I knew that the final show down was gonna be between him and his dad !!!! So predictable !!!
