Bloody Sunday: S01E11 “Strainspotting”

This episode of Bloody Sunday covers season one episode 11 of The Strain on FX titled “The Third Rail”. So if you haven’t seen the episode yet don’t listen. Actually, nothing really happened this episode. You can probably listen and get the same amount of enjoyment (?) out of it. As we say in this episode of the podcast, this show might be a great 8 episodes, but it’s 13. “It feels thin, sort of stretched. Like butter spread over too much toast.” We didn’t do any predictions for the final two episodes, but I’m still thinking Abe is going to die. Maybe this coming episode, surely by the last. I think we do more talking about other things, but that’s just how this episode was.
