Drifter posted:Why did the vampire crush the gently caress out of the dude's head? Was it to hide the sucky marks? In the plane he didn't actually feed on anyone, then, did he? Just infected them all with worms, right? In the book, there are six other Ancient vampires. They do not want to overload the world with vampires because of the geometric progression of infection, and the fear that vampires would quickly overwhelm their own food source. They crush the head after feeding so the newly infected don't rise.

I think they do -- but if the brain/spine are destroyed, there's no way to reanimate. No CNS = no transformation. If enough of the body is traumatically injured, the worms go looking for another host.

I think (and honestly, I started reading the books after the premiere, because I was intrigued) the backstory is that there are 7 Ancients (3 on the Old World and 3 in the New world), and 6 of them are happy being behind-the-scenes players. They control a lot of people and governments, they stay hidden and are perfectly happy to run things from obscurity. The Master causing all the chaos is the 7th, and he's making a major power grab. He's broken the "truce" the other 6 have maintained for millennia. There's a brief mention of one of the Old World Ancients being killed in Bulgaria, and that is supposedly the work of the rogue one -- he wants to basically come out of the shadows and rule openly. Then again, I am only about halfway through the second book, so...

The first book was a slow starter, as well.

Jesus Christ. The wet, glorpy sound of that stinger being pulled free during the autopsy of the pilot, along with the visual, made me gag.

I was more distracted by the fact that Ancel could talk. (Never mind that he managed to hold on to his humanity enough to send the kids away and tell her to go away.) I thought once they grew the stinger, they could not speak, because all those organs were re-purposed.

I have to go back and look at the books. I thought they communicated telepathically past a certain point of development.

Basebf555 posted:I think at this point Eph doesn't trust that this problem can be fixed through normal channels. He's worried that if he reports what happened they will think he's crazy and lock him up for evaluation or something. Jim's confession tipped him off to the fact that someone was engineering this. He's suspicious of a greater conspiracy. As far as he can tell, this is on purpose, and he can't trust anyone but Nora...and possibly Setrakian, since he seems to have more info.

NmareBfly posted:Did they slow down the internet to 28.8 so that videos of the outbreak, when it occurs, aren't all over youtube or something? Is it just a matter of killing communication lines? What about, like, satellite internet? Or taking a video and walking it over the bridge? People are easier to control when they are off-balance. Plus, they pay less attention to what's going on in the wide world when they have issues to deal with at home. And a majority of people get all their news from the internet. So, you're keeping them in the dark, restricting the flow of info and making sure they are too distracted to care about anything beyond their own personal sphere...

matrocious posted:Daniel Day Lewis couldn't overshadow that hairpiece. It's all I stare at when that guy is on the screen unless something gross is happening. It's the most captivating inanimate object I've ever seen. It's quite possibly sentient. I did miss Fet being on-screen n the last ep. Hopefully they will correct that on this upcoming Sunday.

Drifter posted:I thought somebody said there was a cabal of masters and this one ran away to the States to go rogue. In the books, this is exactly right. The other six masters have run things from the shadows for millennia, but have never directly interfered. what the seventh -- youngest -- does with is naked power grab is a complete coup.
