Anyone into the new tv show The Strain?

[youngblood61]

Anybody's guess what the Master will look like?

[Yeah]

I think a mix of the newly infected vampires and the orginal 1930's version.

Love how the CDC people are in denial it's a vampiric outbreak, not like there's been millions of movies about vampires that would give you a clue when you see certain symptoms...

And when you see something looking like a vampire attack in the real world you are going to think: "this looks like a vampire attack, but what on earth is it really..." till you get more information

I'm fairly open-minded to paranormal activity, if I see some weird vampire-like shit going down in real life I ain't gonna worry about the particulars, I'm going to haul ass it to the nearest church - load up on holy water and crosses and book it to someplace the sun shines all freaking day.

How long have vampires been around? Since the first appearances of modern humans some 100 000 years ago? Since God created Heaven and the Earth 6000 years ago? Or perhaps they’re a relatively recent development, first appearing say 2100 years ago shortly after the beginning of the Christian Era.

How often do they bite people and turn their victims into vampires? Once a year? Once a decade? Twice a century?

Let’s suppose the oldest vampire is 2100 years old and that he and his “converts” bite and turn another human each once every 70 years. Since vampires don’t die (or die rarely) there should be 2 to the power of 30 vampires (since 2100/70 = 30) "living" on Earth right now; that’s just over one billion vampires__one seventh the Earth’s population are undead! If each one bites and turns one more human each, they would account for two seventh of the Earth’s population. If each of those two billion vampires bit and turned a human, their population would rise to four seventh of the world’s population. If each of those four billion vampires bit and turned a human there would be no humans left. We could be only three bites aways from total extinction!

Well I'll be!
"Chief Tyrol" made it on tonight's episode...

[Yeah]

I missed last episode. I like everyone's view on vampires.

It was good...I think this show is really getting addicting..It's entering a much more interesting phase that I forgot about...when I go to Direc Tv to catch up on shows I missed during the week - I now go to FX to watch this before going to Showtime for Ray Donovan...(then i go to Netflix to finish the second season of American Horror...the fourth season of American Horror, I believe, will be about a circus freak show...excellent!!).

I meant OnDemand actually.

BTW...surprised no one mentioned that the actor that plays Abe Setrakian - David Bradley - also plays the much hated Walder Frey on "Game of Thrones".

[youngblood61]

Great twist that Setrakian built the Masters Coffin.
