nopants posted:Who were the vampire commandos at the end? I must have poor taste, because I enjoy this show. If you want spoilers... The Master, who the Eichhorst works for, is just one Vampire Elder out of 6. He's actually the outcast Elder, the one who always makes power grabs and wants to rule the world. The other 5, while not exactly the nicest of vampires, understand that balance is the key to longevity and ruling from the shadows is the way to go. The Master, unfortunately, disagrees.

muscles like this? posted:Kind of weird that they skipped pretty much all of The Master's backstory. Like why he's a giant dude and the meaning of the cane. They haven't skipped that. In the books, you don't really learn the origin of the Master and his current situation until like halfway through book 2.

Drifter posted:It was psychopathically sadistic. Fair enough. It's actually really simple: The Master's current host (spoiler within a spoiler there) is Jusef Sardu, an Armenian nobleman who had an extreme case of gigantism. The irony of the host choice is that Sardu was an benevolent, kind person.

sleepy.eyes posted:How about some more crazy old bat yelling at people and bothering the annoying kid? This is off to a riveting start. It's actually accurate to the book. It's a case of you being willing to cut the dead weight to survive and lose your humanity, or carry the weak and risk survival.

radical meme posted:So when Setrakian finds Eph in the clutches of batboy and draws his Silver Excalibur, he suddenly freezes with some kind of high pitched sound in his head. Is this an instance of the Master's ability to paralyze his prey? If it is, they did a really bad job of setting it up and didn't bother to explain or acknowledge it as a new thing at all. Perhaps that's because it was a thing no one knew of before?

etalian posted:The series make sense when you realize that Setrakian is Wiley coyote and Eichhorst is the roadrunner. And the image of a nazi vampire roadrunner evading the Jewish holocaust survivor coyote just made me laugh.

withak posted:The CDC doctors, the hacker, and the exterminator are all expert shots with handguns, and experts at killing with swords. But only until an important vampire comes in. Then they suddenly become below average. This doesn't make much sense. Because they thought they had already won. It was a smug, "we won vampire in sunlight" moment that was shattered when the Master goes "well this was cute, time to run down the side of the building." Because you just don't kill the Master. Not like that.

Why do they have ears? IIRC, didn't the book establish that the vampire transformation consisted of1), losing you hair, 2), losing your ears, and 3), losing your genitalia?

Paladinus posted:What really bugs me about it is that they could have easily get away with that. Master can hypnotise humans, after all. They just needed to add high-pitched sound they used in the tunnels when Setrakian couldn't kill Master, and that would have pretty much done it. Instead everyone just stood there awkwardly doing nothing. I really don't know why they didn't use the Murmur here either. Any ancient can send off a telepathic sonar pulse that temporarily incapacitates all humans within a good range. The Master could have pulsed, then gotten away, and Setrakian/Eph could have gotten up later and been doubly confused.

P_T_S posted:I hope they follow up on Eichorst's reaction to being called to heel like a dog. By the expression on his face, he seemed pretty surprised and upset that he wasn't any more resistant to the Master's commands than the other, lower vampires. Please. He would've just been killed because he has way too high of a sadistically playful Nazi streak in him. He could have murdered the gently caress out of Dutch and Fet at any time. In retrospect, they should have killed Dutch off. It would've given them the opportunity to harden Fet into the cold Russian he was always meant to be.
