This is how you do a season finale!
It wasn't perfect, but it had great twists, action sequences and no annoying cliffhanger to wait for next year ;)
shareAnnoying characters doing incredibly stupid things is how you do a finale?
shareonly Zack did.
shareYeah, not being able to off the master, even as he is laying helpless in a neat box right there in front of you.
Pure genius.

1. Even if you kill the Master, as long as the red worm exists, the Master
can return and that worm is a slippery fast fellow.
2. If the Master is encased, Mr. Quinlin can continue living and I support
that 100000000% I adore Quinlin. Also, the writing isn't bad. I've seen worse
writing on Mad Men. It seems like there is a outcry of "bad writing" and
everyone tries to jump on the bandwagon. Hell, the last season of Breaking Bad
had mind numbingly bad plotting/writing but because of the "Emperor's New
Clothes" effect, no one could admit it.
Sorry, but IMO The Strain doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same paragraph as the likes of Mad Men and Breaking Bad, or even alongside other genre greats like Game Of Thrones. Your mileage may vary.
It doesn't matter how slippery the red worm supposedly is, if they had just beheaded The Master-in-Palmer's body while it was pinned down in the coffin by Quinlan, it would have only had Palmer's office to slither around in and could have easily been dispatched by UV lights, silver grenades, silver weaponry, sunlight, or Quinlan's boot. Bad writing. Even if the red worm chose NOT to emerge out of the neck wound of Palmer's host body, the heroes could have continued chopping until they found it and could kill it.
Plot contrivance.
But remember that the master has the power to make people stand around like idiots whenever he is down, instead of finishing him of.
- Is he dead, he looks dead, let him go and see if he moves.
*zipp*
- Yep, there he goes.
- Oh well, maybe next time...
Mmmm, that's s good writing!

I've seen worse writing on Mad Men.Yes, those horrible shows for grown-ups without zombies and spaceships. Who needs those? share
