Not much else went on during the season premiere. Eph continues to drown his sorrows over Nora's death (and Zach's disappearance). Setrakian is hunched over the "Occidio Lumen" trying to learn it's secrets. Zach is off with vampire mom Kelly. She and the Feelers pay Eph a visit. Kelly will give Zach back to Eph... in exchange for the Lumen. This puts Eph is a touch spot The fate of humanity OR the life of his son? It's a no brainer to me. Save mankind and sacrifice the irritating little cuss. But no one asked me.
Season 3 has 10 episodes (instead of the previous 13 per season). I REALLY hope this forces the writers to speed the story up but I have my doubts. If not, I may have to drop "The Strain" from my usual TV rotation... which is a shame since it has great potential.
On a more positive note, I greatly enjoyed the new opening sequence. Super cool and a big improvement.
