The Strain Season 2 Episode 7 Recaps. A long- standing cultural paranoia has come to pass amid The Strain s strigoi siege: A popular goth- rocker is, in fact, an evil demon seeking to insidiously infect the minds and hearts of his followers. That would be the shows ostensible Marilyn Manson stand- in, Bolivar, whom the Master has selected as his latest vessel. During a showdown with Quinlan, the newly rejuvenated lord of darkness explains that he selected Gabe on account of his loyalty.

Rupert, if you're reading this, I absolutely now feel you've been introduced properly. The Strain Season 2 Episode 7 Review – . After another blinding forty minutes of television my conclusion is simple. The Strain was worth every penny they paid to adapt these contemporary tomes. Bouncing back and forth between ancient Rome and Albania in perfectly integrated flashbacks, we spend our first proper time with barbarian gladiator Quinlan. Portrayed with a cultured edge by Rupert Penry Jones, we get biblical back story, calculating savagery and clinical detachment. So magnetic is he in fact that other elements pale into insignificance. Depicted through expositional voiceover by Bradley.
