What were the writers thinking? - The Strain (2014) Discussion

[–] JJett131313 8 years ago

the writers know how much we all hate him and now are just giving us the huge middle finger by having him brat out and set the nuke off. i have no doubt the writers will continue to rub our noses in the atrocity that season 2 & 3 Zach is by trying to redeem/redeeming him in season 4 (not that any of us will find that acceptable). LOL

For two consecutive seasons. Seems they have made him unrealistically a plot device. That whole detonation sequence because he got pissed off that his turned mother was eliminated and this is your reaction! He has annoyed me since the start of season 2 but after the season 2 finale there was is no redemption for him, even if he decided to listen to his father and not detonate the bomb. I wasn't impressed with how the finale unfolded. Palmer being the masters latest host I guess that is better than it being Zack.

Zack has been the most hated child character since this actor took over the role. But he now he solidified himself as King Prick!!!

larosat, i think it's a tie with Chris on FEAR THE WALKING DEAD as most hated! lol. it's weird because i'm SO tense right now (frustrated) because of how much i hate Zach and the fact the writers know we hate him and seem to relish forcing this dink on us. lol.

LOL yea that is how they choose to torture those of us watching this series weekly and they also smile because they have one last season to torture us, somehow I fear he will live and many others will fall. We lost a lot of charachters this season. Of them all, I will miss Feraldo the most. Btw, Gus wasn't in this episode at all lol, he's had a terrible role for the episodes he was shown in

Wondering if Gus's story is over. They have 10 episodes to end this next year, and what can they do with him?

reply

[–] Damon312 8 years ago

Given how much they deviated with this season from the charachters stories it is a possibility he has gone off to the garden state to live his days in whatever peace he can get. The story of he and Angél de la plata was essentially dropped for the tv show, in the books it was Angél who became the master and Setrakian killed off before the events of the final book. Also Palmer is killed off before the events of the final book also. Really a disappointment with the conclusions of many book based charachters on the tv show.

Angel wasn't the madter, the master thought he would have made a good one, but he tore angel apart.

Ok thanks I had forgotten

[–] JJett131313 8 years ago

Damon, i agree. Feraldo was my favorite character (along with Quinlan). and hell yes(!!) Gus's entire storyline this season has been utter crap! lol.

reply

[–] Damon312 8 years ago

Yes Quinlan is a good and mysterious charachter. Gus just went way left in comparison to his book based charachter. Wondering what that is all about? Did he opt out of season 4 or will he be more of a factor in the final season.

Don't you mean Carl from TWD?

reply

[–] JJett131313 8 years ago

J_Bun, no way. Carl is amazing compared to Chris on FTWD. the past several seasons on TWD Carl has been a decent character. Chris on the other hand could be Zach's twin (in how much i hate them).

reply

[–] larosat 8 years ago

I stopped watching the show primarily because of Nick on FTWD. Hated him more than all the others combined, Chris included.

larosat, i agree 100% that Nick is god awful too!

reply

[–] sandifay62 8 years ago

Yeah. Nick and Zach are the ones that make matters worse for the living. I want them both to die.

[–] vinnydesalvo 8 years ago

Surely got to get Karrrrrrrrrrrl in there too.

reply

[–] pauli_gomez 8 years ago

No, in the last seasons Carl has been passable. Nick and Chris were awful when I stopped watching FTWD, but this stupid kid is worse than Joeffrey Baratheon. And I hated that boy,

reply

[–] sandifay62 8 years ago

Yeah, Carl hhas been smarter than his father for the most part. I still hate joffrey more than Zach, though.

Since the actor switch, and realizing it was the kid from the Rage of Caliban episode of Constantine, I've just worked under the assumption the exorcism was a dismal failure...

Diane, never drink coffee that has been anywhere near a fish.
