The Strain, Ep. 1.09, “The Disappeared” stalls the action
We have only four episodes left, so it’s not surprising that The Strain uses “The Disappeared” to slow things down (that picture above was used to promote the episode), do a little table-setting, and generally take a breather. It’s still disappointing. After the continuous momentum of the last few weeks, culminating in last week’s exciting pot-boiler episode, it’s a shame that the show chooses to fall into the same trap most 13-to-22 episode-per-season series fall into by slowing down before the final rush.
