Soukou no Strain

Let's see what happens next, redemption or damnation.

Episode 10 - WinD

Edit: Quite an episode. Very fundamental things were revealed, which is of course essential considering we will shortly run out of episodes. Still, I'm not altogether sure what it was. Emilies are aliens of some sort, but why did they look like humans? I wonder if that will be addressed at some point. Or maybe I just missed something, and they are artificial beings.

Nevertheless, it's nice to finally know why Ralph acts like he does. But at this point I can't anymore predict at all how this will end. Now Sara also knows what Ralph does, and it would seem likely she would also try to help Emilies somehow. Yet, she will hardly join Ralph, and the preview didn't suggest anything like that, either. Perhaps she will kill Ralph and succeed in sending Emilies somewhere. And then die. Somehow I can't see this series ending without both Ralph and Sara dead.

That was a fairly grotesque twist I wasn't expecting. So, members of an alien species that operates on a Hive mind and all look the same were being exploited and abused in the hopes that humanity could gain instantaneous communication and potentially teleportation. It's just a coincidence that they look human.

Somehow, according to the chibi-geniuses, Sara doesn't have a human brain, rather an Emilies one or at the least one similar to the Emilies. That's how she can interact with the Emily Mimic.

Ralph will most certainly die, one way or the other. Either Sara will kill him or he'll die from the nasty case of TB he's got. For now, I think Sara will live, but there's no way to know for sure given how they keep killing others off in droves.

I really hope this doesn’t have one of those endings wear there is some blinding light and everyone is suspended in it and they talk about feelings or hold hands or some crap like that.

I don’t think she cant interact because she has a Emily brain I think you have to consider the situation when they linked Sara was desperate, they hint and showed that the mimic was alive hell it even had eyeballs. and since the Emily mimic shares a conscious with the other Emily perhaps it knew that Ralph was outside or something to this effect

Ralph taking over the ship by himself was pretty cool I found it weird that Ralph killed all of those people without remorse till he reached his last victim. I also like the back story they've given all of the characters.

[Kraco]

I didn't find that weird. I'm not entirely sure what Ralph's mental state is, but it's obvious he has plenty of totally suppressed memories and emotions. He might be controlled by Emily in some manner, or he just lost it quite completely after realising he had killed a host of those kids when attacking the ship, and especially after learning how torturous past those (alien) kids had.

He's a possessed man capable of anything, yet not quite stable.

Now that we know his past more or less, I think his character is quite good.

This is what we have been waiting for!

Ralph is just stupid, and weak minded. Humans are cruel, so kill them mercilessly? I dont really get his stand.
