Re: The Strain (S4E04) -- "New Horizons" -- 8/6/17
How much of this season (if any) was already in the can when they announced it was the last season? Still feels as if we are doing a whole lot of wheel spinning and not getting anywhere.
Another unearned "dramatic" moment when we lose a character we have barely met ...
A pointless plot line over a turf war just so we could have another "moment" for a character that means nothing ...
A stunning reveal which had already been revealed ...
I have stuck with this and even defended the show at points, but come on already.

Should have killed him off last season.

It was renewed for a 4th and final season while season 3 was still airing last year. They went into this knowing it was the last season.

I have zero idea how this is going to wrap up. Seems like there is no end game for any of these characters.

) seems like it's driving towards a big ending. And it would be moronic if the story thread of Setrakian and the Lumen (which has been creeping along since the very beginning) doesn't eventually pay off in a big reveal on how to stop the Master.But you're absolutely right. With 6 episodes left, it feels like we're just floundering along. At least there's still hope that the tv series won't follow the silly plotline of how the books ended:

I actually meant Gus's cousin, but yeah.
Gus should be awesome. All the characters should be awesome. Instead they have just become blah.
I thought they knew it would be th last season coming in, but it sure doesn't feel like it. The longer this drags on the more afraid I am that we are going to get a book-like ending. Fet's story is the only one that seems to be driving towards a resolution. The rest are barely still fighting skirmishes.
Are there health issues with the actor who plays Setrakian? We've barely seen him.

And I'm just now realizing the same actor played Setrakian and Walder Frey. I suppose that's a testament to his acting skills.

The facial hair and gruffier weary voice threw me off. Setrakian is supposed to be over 100 years old and aging not-so-gracefully like old Frey.
