Warning: full episode spoilers follow.
The Strain can be frustrating in how long certain characters and storylines will stay dormant before finally returning to the forefront. But if "Fallen Light" proved anything, it's that putting all the major players in the spotlight isn't an automatic recipe for success either. This episode had some memorable moments, but also a lot of poorly executed storylines and one that's been a dud all season long. Needless to say, it didn't make for a great lead-in to the season finale.
The big offender, as usual, involved the love triangle between Fet, Dutch and Nikki. This whole conflict plays like a nonsensical way to inject romantic drama into a show that has neither the room nor the need for anything of the sort. None of it feels genuine. Why is Fet so committed to a relationship that's existed for maybe a week at this point? Why is Dutch so obsessively devoted to a woman that clearly isn't trustworthy, dependable or even very interested in maintaining their relationship? It would help if Nikki felt like an actual character rather than a walking plot device, but there's been no apparent interest in fleshing out her point of view or what she was up to during her long absence. Hopefully, with Nikki and her mother preparing to leave New York in this episode, she'll be out of the picture for good.
