You know …
I have to admit, I’m getting into a habit, recently.
No, really.
I’ve gotten into the habit, every-so-often, of watching TV!
Well, yeah, I hear you say: a lot of people do!
Yes, I know.
But, over the past few months, I’ve managed to catch up with a few box-sets: mostly? Mostly Penny Dreadful, and House of Cards.
Oh, and something else …
Blimey, this show’s addictive!
~≈√≈~
Episode 5 — Quick and Painless — opens by showing us a police raid on a New York housing estate: one that has some some infected people in it … but ALSO that has strigoi lurking about.
Meanwhile? Nora (Mia Maestro) has to look after Zach (Max Charles): as Eph decides to head for Washington, to get help in mass producing the vampire killing virus he and Nora have developed.
This … ? Against the backdrop of Fet and Dutch helping police with their enquiries: with silver powered grenades.
And Abraham Setrakian still trying to track down the mysterious Occido Lumen.
Episode 6 — Identity — shows us Eph — using forged ID — in Washington: negotiating to start production of the virus.
AND having an brief liaison with the lobbyist who’s seeing it through Congress.
Back in New York? Back in New York Nora and Zach are cornered: by Kelly, And her remaining Feelers.
And an unnamed vampire meeting with the Ancients: after, seemingly, walking through daylight to get to them.

Now …
Addictive?
That’s possibly a little over the top.
But … ?
This second series of The Strain is moving a long a VERY good pace: and certainly keeping me, engrossed!

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
