OK Gentlemen,

JUST BE MEN, AND ADMIT THAT THE 3 OF YOU ARE SCREWING US OVER.

WE KNOW THAT MCHATTIE WAS QUINLAN.



THAT MCHATTIE WAS QUINLAN. YOU ALL KNEW LAST FEKKING YEAR THAT STEPHEN MCHATTIE WAS QUINLAN. EACH OF YOU SAID SO…



NEED A REMINDER?

“"If you read the books, you’ll discover that downstream in the story there actually are vampires that are hunting other vampires. In some form, there are sympathetic vampires that are part of the narrative as the story unfolds. That’s a spoiler that occurs deep in the first season of the show. This guy Quinlan, who is also known as Mr. Q in the books, shows up and he’s basically killing the vampires that are the consequence of the Master. That’s a big surprising turn in the story. We’re like, “Who’s he? What’s he up to? Why is he doing this?” Then he ultimately recruits a couple of our other characters to help him. It is layered. Your basic, bottom-line vampire wants to eat and feed, but that vampire can also be controlled by the Master. I’m not sure they are really super-nice. There’s not just one simple answer to, “Well, are these vampires good or bad?” That’s cool.“



That’s YOUR quote, Mr Cuse!!

So don’t give us this BS “We just don’t know who that hooded strigoi is”.

YOU knew it way back in JULY 2014 when you did that interview. THAT’S NOT COOL CARLTON.



The Strain Fandom loved QUINLAN’S entrance in episode 7. But we are not the only ones…



EVEN GDT…

“ TVF: What can you tell me about Mr. Quinlan and when he’ll be showing up. He’s a fan favorite from the books.

GDT: He’s one of my favorite characters. He comes in in the middle of the season. He is one of my favorite characters. My favorite characters are a Mexican wrestler that comes in in the second book, Mr. Quinlan and Setrakian. Those are the characters I get my rocks off the most because they’re great, unlikely heroes. And Q comes in…his introduction is really, really good. Really, really good. And by the end of the season you’ll realize he’s there to stay.



YOU PRAISED MCHATTIE FOR HIS PORTRAYAL Mr. del Toro!!! You REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY liked him. Srsly, you totally Fangirled over him. (oneofus! oneofus!)



What say you Mr. Hogan??

I know you are on the “That wasn’t Quinlan bandwagon”

How bout we just jump into our TARDIS and head back to SDCC 2014.

The VIDEO doesn’t lie Mr. Hogan @3:45 Mary asks about the Hooded Strigoi and you confirm it’s Quinlan..Those are YOUR lips moving Sir.



“Hogan stated that even though he doesn’t show up until book two, they decided he was too much of an important character to delay introducing. So, yes, it’s Mr. Quinlan. I also asked who had been cast as Mr. Quinlan, and while he could not remember the name off the top of his head, he did send it to me after the press room. Stephen McHattie has been cast as Mr. Quinlan and we will see him for the first time in episode 7 but only briefly.”

==========================================================



So it’s all rather annoying to hear the 3 of you continually say “We NEVER said his name”. Granted, you never said it in the show. But you said it in the media. So all I ask, is for you to admit it. YOU cast McHattie as Quinlan, then changed your minds. For whatever reason. It wasn’t due to his acting. You all seemed to like that. But stop lying. You knew.



So, what about this Not Quinlan character then? Vaun, Is he a Born? He better be. I am sure you will kill him off.

Kinda, sweep your mistake under the rug and dangle a pretty new Quinlan in front of us. A distraction Born, if you will.

Yes, I saw the interview stating that his entrance would be dramatic.

So, Is Quinlan galloping down the Brooklyn Bridge astride a bull elephant while holding a standard bearing the severed head of Thomas Eichhorst? Behind him comes a caravan of warriors. Metallic is there, thrashing out “For Whom the Bell Tolls” while riding in a carriage pulled by tigers. That’s a little of what I am expecting. Just so you know.



I am not expecting you to do much with McHattie’s character. And that sucks. The 3 of you have more talent than what I am sure you’re going to give us. I have this feeling that you’re making him “go away” ASAP so you can move onto the New Quinlan. Just pretend that Vaun never existed.

So maybe, I’ll wait. See how it pans out. Maybe, you’ll surprise me. Maybe, I’ll wake up tomorrow and be 5′9″.



What I’d like to see:



I’d like them to be Brothers.

I’d like McHattie’s character to go all Darkside.



I’d like Vaun and Quinlan to battle it out at the Master’s Dark Site

I’d like Vaun to kill Gus. Yup. I said it. It would be amazing. Gus wouldn’t expect it, and neither would the Fandom.



So let’s say you 3 had zero imagination and killed him off. Rendering my suggestions useless…Don’t worry, I have am full of suggestions.

Quinlan will need a backstory. You’re still going to do that, aren’t you?

Vaun can be used there..

Seriously, don’t choke on the Q backstory guise.

I want at least 3 episodes of that. It was bad enough it was rushed in the book.



How to use Vaun in the backstory:



He is the one who becomes aware of Q’s success on the battlefield.

He brings the Ancients to watch and speak with Q on the battlefield.

He is the one that greets Q when he makes the decision to join forces with them.

Training fun with Vaun and Quinlan.

Maybe some backstory over the centuries of them battling random outbreaks.

Vaun and Quinlan: A Brave New World. The Boys traverse the ocean with precious cargo.



I won’t stop watching the show. I enjoy it. I just hate what you did. I understand that McHattie is a slim framed guy. But then, why did you cast him?? Did any one of you have part in his casting? Or did this thin framed man show up one day on set in full makeup and you were all like “Well, he’s here,might as well use him.”

Why did you continue to use him during the entire first season? It would have been easy to replace him after watching the dailies. Just ask Eric Stoltz, no Marty McFly for him! Instead, you come up with a load of rubbish saying “We never said his name on film”.

The Novel/GN Fans knew who he was in Episode 7. The same group of people who defended the show. Seriously. Are you aware how many people bitched/bitch about how the Master looks? We are all over here like “But wait, there’s a reason”…no…we can’t tell you, SPOILERS.”

And this is how you repay us.

Thanks a bunch guise.



Just remember Fandom, if it sucks (it won’t) but let’s say we are super disappointed with how things go down.

We can always pretend that The Strain was a One Season show.
