One of the bits I am curious about is why The Master's heavily loyal servant (the german dude) WANTS to be the next Vessel of the Master. It has been shown a couple times where he thought he would become the next vessel and upon discovering he wouldn't, he became severely distraught.

Weird request, but could you do the vampires from jjba anime?

[@blaizecunningham6080]

@CoganLollins I wondered if you had seen the movie Lifeforce, a movie about Space Vampires? Might be worth a look as it's an excellent movie, plus has some very original ideas. It's one of the best 80s horror bmovies out there.

[@DeadFieldofFlowers]

The thing I really like about the strain is how it portrays vampires as really disgusting monsters not a bunch of guys in their 20s wearing leather jackets

[@OptimusNero]

I love how the designs of these vampires are heavily based on the appearance of Nosferatu/Count Orlock, the first Dracula in cinema. Also, this quote by Orlock perfectly represents the disturbing nature of the creatures of the Strain: "Death is a horrible thing. But there are things even more horrible than death..."

[@YvonneCox-ff4zk]

Hey! Biology student here, fun fact about Loam is that it is a soil classification that is about 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay and contains large amounts of organic material. It is also the ideal soil texture for growing crops. This plays into the idea that The Loam used by the master is most likely the soil where Ozryels throat was and the soil The Master grew from since The Loam would have had large amounts of organic material “Ozryels throat”, and was perfect for growing a crop “The Master”. Just kind of a neat fact I thought would be interesting to share

The books were great. The TV show did a good job at adapting it, but the books were really cool.

[@brietzke99]

I was just disappointed they didn't keep their original Origins

[@Schelbig]

I’d gotta checkout the books for inspiration for my own vampire novel

[@billbixby557]

Yup, I consumed ( pun intended ) the trilogy during the lockdown. The first book completely engulfed me, the second kept the suspense going and the third had it's moments but the storyline was coming to an end and you can pretty much tell what was going to happen, so I didn't enjoy it quite as much but that's just personal preference. And as tense as they were, there were still several laugh-out-loud moments ( me laughing ) between the characters.

[@himynameis3664]

@@billbixby557 I was pretty much the same. The whole scientific approach that the first book had drew me in cos I'd never really read something that tackled vampires like that. Then Quinlan's story and finding out the origins of the vampires was what kept me reading. I found the 3rd book the weakest, but at that stage I had read 2 books of this story I wasn't going to just drop it and not read the end.

[@billbixby557]

@@himynameis3664 ditto. I completely agree with your assessment, especially about the 3rd book being the weakest but reading till the end because you've already gone this far.

[@AAron-gr3jk]

I like the fact that vampire strain vector is worms. This reminds me of a favourite D&D monster: Child of Kyuss, which is an undead animated by little green worms.

[@stankmcdankton6204]

The reason for the Seal of Haagenti being on the Occido Lumen has to do with the Kabalistic tradition of "True Name" magic associated with King Solomon, who was said to have used magic to take command of Demons and spirits to do his bidding. Demons and Angels are effectively the same kind of entity, but split along ideological lines ( The War of Heaven ). The power of "True Names" goes back to the biblical story of Genesis. In Genisis, humans could speak the Holy Tongue ( something that was taken from them after the fall of the Tower of Babel, resulting in all the different languages humanity ends up speaking ). Speaking the True Name of a spiritual being in the Holy Tongue allowed Solomon to manipulate them according to his will. This is also why in the 10 Commandments it's written not to take the name of God ( also called the Tetragramaton ) in vein, because it invokes him. SOOOO, with the vampires being composed the parts of Ozryel, they are technically Angelic / Demonic in nature and subject to the same Kabalistic / Solomonic magics as demons from the Key of Solomon.

The master technically is seen inhabiting 6 bodies in the show, if you count the Roman era body and the navy seal he briefly inhabited between Bolivar and Palmer.

[@LittleRedTeaCake]

The Strain is one of my favorite book trilogies and I love most of the show. I have a lot of gripes with how they handled some characters, namely Nora, because after Fet, she is my favorite. So I was really upset by that. First season though, gold. Absolute gold. Del Toro really does have a wonderful way of creating lore and backstories that could fit so easily into our world, and I love it. I'm sad the religious/divine aspects of the whole thing was pushed to the side by the end of the tv series, I still love it and I still rewatch it frequently. This was a wonderful deep dive!

[@dudebruh8534]

Yeah the beginning of the show was so damn good. I'd say the only thing I disliked was the ending and how stupid that one child was (forgot their name). Like, the main character's kid following around the strain controlled mom was so f*cking aggravating and stupid. Really ruined the story for me.

I think about Kelly killing the feeler, it may have partially been because maybe they could see and it wasn't complete, but I also thought that it could have to do with the reverse, "save the cat, ".. They didn't want the audience to sympathize or think too fondly of that character

[@jimdoom2276]

Yeah - plus one for a request for a deep dive into the Wamphyri! They're kinda Lovecraftian vampires, which are also a result of a parasite/sybiote inside the host body. They also provided the inspiration for Clan Tzimice in Vampire The Masquerade, the TT RPG.

[@_Myrddin]

Maybe the reason the demon's seal is in the book is because the knowledge, or some of it, in the book was given by a demon as a way to get rid of the angel/vampire on earth so that the demons wouldn't have any competition on earth. Idk just a guess but the vamps and demons probably both territorial or something

[@gentlemancorpse2412]

Theres another comic with a lot of similarities (at least in the first few volumes I read of it) to the strain. It's called impaler written by William Harms, check it out if you wanna. It's basically Dracula vs. Vamps so maybe to describe it a blend of hellsing and the strain? I was always interested in why both Impaler and the strain share so many similarities

[@kayvaanmcsharrowkyn6901]

ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO MY FRIEND! THANK YOU FOR THE WORK AND PRIDE YOU OBVIOUSLY DO AND HAVE WHEN MAKING THESE VIDS!. ONE CAN TELL THAT YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SUBJECT MATTER, AS IT SHOWS THROUGHOUT THE POST. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE!! AND ON THAT NOTE, MIGHT I OFFER YOU A SUGGESTION OR TWO? YOU SHOULD LOOK UP THE RUSSIAN HORROR/FANTASY MOVIES "DAY WATCH" & "NIGHT WATCH ", BOTH HAVE AGENCIES OF LIGHT AND DARK HOLDING EACH OTHER IN CHECK AND KEEPING THE BALANCE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL. THERE ARE GOOD / BAD VAMPIRES, WITCHES, MONSTERS, WEREWOLVES, FAERIES, ETC. A GREAT 2 MOVIES,.... there was supposed to be a third that was in a wrap them all up and be the ending but it never got made and last I checked there wasn't anything about it happening so that's extremely sad. In the last movie you should check out his got Ron Perlman in it it's from the early 90s it's called the Mutant Chronicles. It's a slightly futuristic yet kind of Steampunk post-apocalyptic world where companies own armies and instead of countries fighting Wars companies fight Wars and pay their soldiers instead of jobs we are professional Soldier and that's your day job anyway there's an ancient machine that's been buried like thousands thousands of years before and the devil supposedly made it and it turns people into these vampire like demon conglomerations anyway two companies are fighting and they end up having a battle over this thing steel to the door door and they end up breaking the seal and these things get out and yeah you need to see the movie it's freaking sick! it it's a cult classic in my opinion, people know about it but it didn't really get like a huge release, and ended up going to DVD very quickly and that was the end of that. But I own it I love it and anybody who have ever shown it to has loved it but check it out like I said it's got Ron Perlman in it for that reason alone you should watch it! LOL

​@@SlowDay1651 I binged the show for the first time last year. I had the exact same feelings immediately about the second Zach actor. Absolutely terrible, and I hated watching every minute he was on screen and hoped his character would just die already. Not because an awful character was portrayed well, like Joffrey from GOT, but because the actor was hot garbage. Almost any other kid would have been better for the role, or even just Steve Buscemi for all I cared. Agree, 10/10 without that actor.

[@oisinm332]

Love this

[@jamesbarker9895]

I much prefer the vampire lore of the novel "Let Me In," wherein the vampire's bite carries an infection which causes brain cells to grow around the heart. This new second brain allows the host to live on even if the host technically dies. This brain keeps the heart beating regardless, which makes breathing unnecessary. The other changes include a membrane, like that of a flying squirrel, which allows the vampire to glide short distances. The infection causes a sort of anemia, which explains the constant need for blood "transfusions." They aren't immortal, but they live very long lives because their metabolism is reduced to near zero. Strength, speed, night time vision and smell all are heightened. Sunlight causes a brutal thermogenic reaction that can end with spontaneous combustion. The infected in this version lead lonely, miserable lives. Most commit suicide by destroying their own hearts.
