Rooster Recap: “The Strain” Episode 7/8 – For Services Rendered & Creatures of the Night

Hey guys – sorry to gang up two weeks, but I’ve been interviewing and it’s stressful and blah blah basically you’re going to get two in one enjoy. So much excitement in one little post. OH WAIT since The Strain basically plods along clumsily and awkwardly maybe not so much excitement. Episode 7: Actually though, this…

Rooster Recap: “The Strain” Episode 6 – Occultation

So lately I’ve been doing this Reddit thing, talking with other people about stuff, mostly horror and The Strain, and the consensus around the block is about the same. The Strain is a halfway-executed horror show with some misplaced focus and some gaping plot holes. Some of these are explained away later and are meant to…

Rooster Recap: “The Strain” Episode 4 – It’s Not For Everyone

As you might remember from last week – SH*T HIT THE FAN. Most notably, Eph, Jim, and Nora had just beat one of the vampires to death with a fire hydrant. They are freaking out, but they are also still under the impression that they might get in legal trouble for beating a monster to…

Rooster Recap: “The Strain” Episode 3 – Gone Smooth

I’m actually 90% sure I know what the title references, and…uh. Well it’s gonna get weird(er).  A quick refresher – A box has flown over from Europe, containing a coffin containing a vampire (well, a del Toro vampire. We’re just going to stick with that vocab because it’s easier). It killed everyone on the board,…

Rooster Recap: “The Strain” Episode 2 – The Box

Hey, so, I learned this week that the novels were also made into a graphic novel by Dark Horse – so I’ll probs be checking that out maybe.  So as you may or may not recall from last week: Lotsa dead people, creepy plane, creepy box, creepy old man, creepy vampire monsters, zombies like to…

Rooster Recap: “The Strain” Episode 1 – NightZero

Hey guys! It’s Sarah, from SciFridays here – remember me? I’ve been on hiatus because y’know, defending a master’s thesis. Right now I’m in the middle of moving to a whole different part of the country, but my love for you (but mostly for Guillermo del Toro) has brought me back a smidge early. Actually,…

Rooster Recap: ‘Archer’ Season 5, Episode 8: “The Rules of Extraction”

Hey, Archer fans. James here. The Boss (of this site, not to be confused with Bruce Springsteen). It’s been a while since I wrote about Archer. Last time, I promised you a Reckoning. Well, the time has come. If I’m caught up on these by Monday, I’m buying myself a Talking Heads album. I like…
