Still on vacation, but I’m spending a day home after two weeks at our summer cottage. Tomorrow we are going on a little road trip in south of Sweden. It’s been cold and rainy, so no bathing, but a lot of reading. And watching The Strain. Have you seen it? I’m a bit of two minds over it. I very quickly grew tired of infected people, giant tongues and beheadings and I fail to warm to Corey Stoll’s hero doctor. I find him tedious and unsympathetic and the storyline about his son and former wife extremely predictable. I also find the look of the master vampire extremely silly. An epic fail when it comes to creepiness.

On the other hand I really like David Bradley’s old vampire hunter pretty compelling and I very quickly developed a huge crush on Kevin Durand whom I have never watched before. What can I say, very tall dark men is very much my type. I also like the relationship between his and Bradley’s characters, which develops very nicely from a first somewhat grudging respect to something more of a father and son connection. I also like the master vampires main henchman, a former Nazi officer. He is scarier in his human “makeup” than when he is his vampire self, though.

I’m sure you have already seen this, but in case not, I post it anyway; If you would like to find some new LJ-friends, then consider commenting on [livejournal.com profile] luxos multi-fandom friending meme.

And [livejournal.com profile] wicked_awards is taking nominations for fanworks for Doctor Who as well as Angel, Buffy, Charmed,, Firefly/Serenity, Star Trek, Stargate, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Torchwood and X-Files. An excellent opportunity showcase fanworks you really like. (You can also nominate yourself).

Now I’m going back to not post much for another fortnight or so.

I hope you enjoy your wee trip and your hero doctor gets eaten and replaced by a more interesting Dr:)

Thank you, we had great fun!

Actually, my prediction is that he will die. I think he is just the kind of flawed hero that ultimately will sacrify himself for the greater good. Unfortunately that usually won't happen until the last episode. ;)

Thank you!

I have managed to miss them until now (well, I have rather been out of the loop), but I like what I see. :)
