NOT QUINLAN.
What are you doing to me Strain Writers?? I call dibs. For the 2 seconds we get him.
They tolled us that there would be no flashbacks. So ether this is them trying to bring back Vaun with a new actor, or a new character to replace Vaun.
I highly doubt it’s Vaun. It’s a random hunter and this is probably right before “The Fall”..they need to have some sort of character there for the whole Ancient Speech to Q about the vials. All I want to know is WHERE do I get that damn hoodie. Come on Strain FX put the hoodie in the shop.
(The hoodie is pretty easy to make- I just bought a black and red hoodie online then made the patch and sewed it on :D) And about the whole Vaun thing… It’s either Vaun or a new hunter. There is a small possibility of it being him and just with a different actor because of the news McHattie said at the panel I was at.
Before I watched the video I thought he may be young Vaun, but I am not sure not. Hope he is Vaun, I really miss him…
All I can find are crap cotton hoodies & I want a proper nylon one like they have. I want to have the swish swish as I walk. Gods I hope it’s Vaun. Can you imagine the convo btw Gus & Vaun. Vaun: “Sooooooo you took like 2 weeks to come get me.” Gus: *mouth full of Naan* “mmmphhh Vphmm mmmph” *drinks water* “Sorry man, it’s the 5:00 dinner special”. If it’s young Vaun then that means Q has been wearing that stanky coat for yeeeeaarrrss. Unless Q is like the rest of us & buys surplus of clothes he likes.
Lmaoooo! I do hope it is vaun,possibly recast with McHattie dub…yeah high hopes on the dub part,but still..
Lynxcat what did he say?
If they are bringing back these roles, meaning those who care for the ancients, it’s like why did they kill off Vaun and crew??? It was pointless to begin with and now, even more so.
At least they kept the awesome outfits…
Ugh, I can’t see the video.
I’d be more apt to say it isn’t Vaun, clinging to the hope that they can’t possibly choose this way to listen to the fans. :p
But for real, I would love to see other Ancient-side hunters. Maybe even more Born.
Well I did skulk the IMDB for The Strain and I am wondering if it’s Lar. I kinda hope so coz he’s listed for 4 episodes and one of them is called “White Light” & the Ancients are in it. Also they are both in Collaborators. And the Actor has “Thaticus’“ beady little eyes. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP HIM ALIVE. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0391100/?ref_=tt_cl_t12
Hmmmmm interesting….
Thatticus grew up, yo!
Oh sorry guys that I didn’t respond. I didn’t get any notifications for some reason…:/ Anyways, about the whole Stephen McHattie thing.. At the panel I went to with him, Richard Sammel, Samantha Mathis and Robert Maillett he said some things that were unsettling…
He didn’t talk at all when the host asked him questions and then all of a sudden he blurts out “Guillermo Del toro is fat!!” while Mr. Sammel was talking. McHattie then started to complain that him and Guillermo didn’t get along at all together and that Guillermo had enough so he fired McHattie.
That news was truly unsettling. I didn’t want to tell you guys ASAP because I waited for someone to release a video of the panel on YouTube so you guys could draw your own conclusions. I knew that people were going to point fingers saying that I was lying or crap like that. But 4 months later nobody has released a video! >:( So that’s what happened at the panel. It’s proof that Vaun was the original Q and that if they wanted to have Vaun back they would need a new actor.
Sorry guys for the sad news. I hope nobody hates me now haha
Now all I want is that video… I feel complicated now…；(
I know right. I’m so sorry! :( I’ve been searching the Internet for someone to post it and there were atleast 10 people with professional cameras set up. If I find it I promise I’ll link you guys to it.
awwwww @lynxcat1 I totally 100,000 xx believe you. I can TOTALLY see McHottie butting heads with people. But I do really wanna see the video. hahaha. I love a train wreck. Plus I thing we @majinkura @celestial-may @babywhatsyoursin @goeticdisciple rambled on about him ragging about the makeup routine. He said that in the “Wolves” Interview & we gathered if he complained all the time during makeup application then they probably would have started to write him out. It would also explain Vaun’s horrific makeup in S2. If he treated the FX team like shit as well, they may have just thrown on whatever they could just to get rid of him. That’s a shame. It would be nice though if they could re write the character. STILL DOES NOT EXCUSE THE SHIT FUCK WRITING THAT WE GOT IN S2. They still could have not written him out & recast him. Can we count how many times Quinlan’s makeup changed in S2? I’m pissed off, but still at the lack of writing from the Strain Writers. There was/is zero excuse for what we got.
It all makes sense now…the guy who manages McHatties appearances said he is eccentric…still no excuse to be an ass….I’m glad I never sent him fanmail now…probably tosses it in the trash..
If this new strigoi is lar then he is the new replacement voice for the ancients..
Kinda glad he didn’t come to Vancouver Fan Expo. I am sure I would have raved about Vaun/ranted about Strain Writers and who knows what response I’d get. Celebs don’t have to give autographs or pictures, but they can be civil. They are nothing without their fans. And if you are asked to do a panel, put on your big boy pants & answer the damn questions politely. If I were there, I would have lost it. Has he not read my Strain Rage rants?? I can redirect my rage very easily. LOL What gets me know is knowing that they fired him for being difficult, why not say that publicly? They lost sooooo many fans because of this. We would have understood the replacement had we known he was acting like a tool. All of the horrible tweets they got because of it..I seem to recall them getting nasty ones..just not our whining ones. ;) STILL DOES NOT EXCUSE THE CRAPPY WRITING. Obvs they just wanted to get rid of him, but man, just recast. Like Zach. That kid went from looking like a 9 yr to 13 in one season. Easy to replace the vamp. Why not even promote Jack Sansone. We already play “spot the stunt man” in every episode. I bet he was one of the hunters anyways.
(I am so sorry for all these late responses- my notifications are horrible) @mandalorianmeowmeow I 100% agree, good thing you didn’t meet him. He truly was a jerk and he even made me somehow not like his character Vaun as much. I’m super lucky that I didn’t talk to him.. And didn’t @goeticdisciple say that they were going to meet McHattie in March at some horror con with their Vaun cosplay? They haven’t responded since… I hope he didn’t hurt their feelings…
It’s heartbreaking to think that the character that we all love is played by an actor that is a total dick. I loved watching all the movies and TV shows he played in and he was so hot! Even as a silver fox. :( @mandalorianmeowmeow I agree with you. There was no reasons that couldn’t recast the actor and keep the character, and well as be upfront with what was going on behind set. It would have saved of all a bunch of heat ach.
I just sent @goeticdisciple an massage. I haven’t heard from her senses episode three of season two. I hope she’s alright.
@frozenoverblackballoon Agreed. Before I went I was so excited to meet him. He (to me) was the highlight of the show. Then when I met him my heart broke :( But Richard Sammel really brightened my day. He’s such a sweetheart. and I hope she’s alright too. They haven’t responded on the forum ever since…:(
I’m sorry. it must have come as a big painful blow. :( I remember reading that @goeticdisciple was done with the show, after Vaun was killed off. Maybe she just lost interest and has been doing other things. I hope so.
I’m kind of glad that I never mailed out the fan latter I wrote to him, and it explain why he’s never on social media.
I’m fine, everybody! Just out of the Strain fandom - ya’ll can blame S2 for that, it was a damn deathblow for me. I’m also not getting any updates from the forum, either about messages...
I ended up bailing on the Texas Frightmare, mainly because I wanted to avoid disappointment. If I met McHattie and got the grumpy treatment I would have been very upset. I think “eccentric” is probably polite – I knew I’d be bitter. So I bowed out.
Glad ya’ll still have passion for it - if S3 gets better reviews, I might dip my toe back in.
