For reference, this is how The Master looks in the comics.



Much more horrifying.

I didn't mind how he looked on the show though. Reminded me of Nosferatu a bit.

Edit: I cropped some stuff out of the original pics just to be on the safe side.
His face looks like any other vampire there.
Muuuch prefer the show version even if the lip/chin area could have been improved.
 
Book-readers! Please tell me Nora dies soon. Thx.

Fet continues to be the best thing about this show, Setrakian a close second.

The Master looks like a big goofball with over-sized Halloween gloves.

From reading the wiki entries for the books, it sounds like
she doesn't die even at the end
(book spoilers).

Feel like the Master has no neck, probably just the angle I saw him at. I'd be more frightened by non-makeuped Eichorst, especially if he has this grin:

Hey book people, its cool that you are answering questions and saying that things will be explained, but learn to properly tag book spoilers, damn. I liked the look of The master, there is something almost alien in its appearance, the profile shots of him looking down of the german that got hommeruned on Inglorius Basterds.

I really hope Set's flashbacks cover his complete vampire hunting career.
 
OMG. Everyone except the shopkeeper and the exterminator are idiots. Especially Nora.

Why did the British lady try to reach out to the guy that randomly walked into her apartment?! She just spent the entire night fighting off vampire monsters.....this might be the last episode I watch

Embracing the wig is the only way to enjoy this.

Never!

Why did the British lady even return home in the first place when there are ravenous zombie-leech-vampires roaming around everywhere outside? Like, she did she think they somehow couldn't get/would't be inside her apartment? Why would she think that?

I've been catching up on this show and I absolutely can't stand above all else how blind just about every motherfucker is in this show until it's finally decided to lift the veil from that characters eyes.

Oh your eyes are bloodshot red, I thought you got a haircut!

Oh drinking blood from raw meat, that's normal!

Oh you've gotten visibly pale and noticeably sicker, that's jet lag!

Oh my daughter was dead, except she's not, thank you CDC for returning my VISIBLY ALTERED daughter BY LETTING HER IN THE BACKYARD, BY HERSELF.

And a lot more, it just feels so contrived and it's a damn shame cause tweaking the script here and directing better in a scene there would go a long way in making the show at least seem like they give a fuck.

Also best worst line: "God only knows what he saw on that plane. God damn air planes. Like missiles, the way they rip through everything"

I was rolling when I heard that line in the episode itself and I'm rolling again right now. HOLY SHIT I can't believe someone actually wrote that. oh my god

Ratsky's favorite new show has a new episode today:
Season 1: episode 10 "Loved Ones"

Eph investigates Kelly's disappearance. Meanwhile, Dutch retaliates against Palmer; and Fitzwilliam makes a surprising choice.

"This looks so much bigger than the ones on the screen, like a building with wings"
Said the air traffic controller in stunned awe, since it was obviously his first time seeing a plane ever in his life

Anytime someone offers you money to slow down the entire internet in NYC that is usually a red flag of something is bad to happen.
