I'll be watching. I thought the first book was pretty good and then it went downhill pretty fast. They were writing with the intention of translating to TV all along though, so hopefully this is pretty good.I read the book. Its fantastic, and should translate relatively well to TV. I don't think the previews have given much, if anything, away. I haven't seen it yet obviously, but I'm expecting it to be good.
Don't want to say to much and ruin it, but its kinda its own thing. Horror.Premise?
True Blood Season Four was horrific. I stopped watching it after that season and never looked back.Tru Blood has gotten real awful this season too. Hopefully this show ends up being a good summer show, there aren't many.
Seriously, that was f'in terrible. Got my DVR set to record The Strain and hoping it is good. All the BS reality TV is just not cuttin' it for me.True Blood Season Four was horrific.

The Strain looks really good. FX has had some damn good original programming, so I'm excited to watch this. It has to be better than last summer's TV distraction, Under the Dumb... I mean Dome.

Starts out with a plane landing @ JFK and everyone on it is dead.

how did it differ?Bump. Watching this right after True Blood. Should be interesting juxtaposition.
Opening scene left me a little disappointed, deviated from the book in a kinda corny way. Hope it improves.
The book reader doesn't know what killed everyone for quite a while. Also, the pawnshop owner is potentially a quack for awhile, you don't see the heart thing until way way later.how did it differ?Bump. Watching this right after True Blood. Should be interesting juxtaposition.

Makes sense. They'all probably dial it back after the pilot.The book reader doesn't know what killed everyone for quite a while.

Tend to agree. Halfway through Ep.1 (where the airport guy's getting his ### handed to him by ... whatever that is...) and I'm really hoping for more.Nice to see Walder Frey get some more work but I didnt feel like this was anything special. The lead actor has the charisma of sawdust.
Xtreme cooking with American vampires. and zombies.Chemical X said:lol I was gonna make a snide remark about vampires, I think every show requires cooking or a vampire. If we could only combine this premise!
Me too, non-book reader and I enjoyed it as well. I actually didn't mind the lead guy. It looks like it has potential.Non-book reader, and I enjoyed the premier a lot. Seems like it's going to mix vampire lore with science, and not hold back on the gore.
That scene with the big bad in the warehouse (poor airport guy) was really cool.

I blame the writing. Oh, and Sean Astin.The acting thus far has been hollow and weak.
We're not going to have to read this all season, are we?I'm not a fan of how they messed with the plot.
No, you won't.I blame the writing. Oh, and Sean Astin.The acting thus far has been hollow and weak.

My main gripe there is that in the book its a slower reveal about it being vampires. I disagree with how they did it.
There were other changes, and while you may have missed a little fun, they're not game changing.
So, unless they do something way outside the book moving forward, I probably won't comment on that aspect again. Now, if the acting doesn't improve, you'll keep hearing about that from me.
Yep. 100,000 times better than Under the Dome. I thought the sizzler reel at the end showed promise. I didn't think the acting was that bad, but, again, I'm holding this show up against the extremely low summer show bar.Better than most of the crap on right now
