'The Strain' recap: Hungry wolves and human drama in 'Fallen Light'
At least a few of the characters on FX’s hit thriller “The Strain” don’t want the vampire apocalypse to end.
Eldritch Palmer, for one, has helped orchestrate the plague from the beginning. And while he talks a good public game about batting back the undead invasion, we’ve known all along that he’s committed to just the opposite in the form of the Master’s grand takeover plan.
And now we learn that Alonso Creem isn’t anxious to see order restored to New York either because, as he points out in this hour, the ensuing chaos has been good to him.
