I've been enjoying the television series The Strain, & I intend to continue watching, but there's no denying that more than a little of the show's shine was lost with this past Sunday's risible debut of hooded antagonist "the Master's" true visage. This is far & away the least scary creature design I have ever seen. Suddenly, even the laughable human/Alien hybrid from the end of Alien: Resurrection doesn't seem quite as silly as it so obviously is; after all, The Strain's Master proves that the hybrid could have been even worse. This has to be some kind of joke, right?
