It's just the mouth. I have no idea what they were thinking with that. What should have been:

Nosgoth-Skins-Tyrant-Tyrant'sArmor.png

...nothing worse than a show that has all the right parts and just can't put them together.

Sorry if I fucked that up and it's huge, on mobile.
 
The problem with the mouth in the show is that it doesn't open up all the way. It is just a regular mouth with fake lips that keep going on to the sides.

Don't get me started on the hands.

God the master looks terrible. I'd be more afraid of ex-con's mother in the closet. I'd laugh as he killed my ass or broke my hands, tends to be his MO.

I was not terribly enthused with this episode.

Nora's mother is a bad character in the books and an annoyingly bad character in the show. She needs to be killed off in the emotional season finale already.

I feel like Gus got a little more meat on his bones finally, and now that he's not trying to be so hardcore for everyone around him, he's a better character for it.

The Zack Attack part of this episode didn't need to exist at all. Put the kid in a corner and wait until Season 2 to use him, please.

Eph is dumb as usual, but his Fet impersonation got a good laugh out of me.

Setrakian is REALLY pissed. I like that. He's so mad that he's making mistakes, which is human, which is nice. We haven't seen him as a human figure in the series much until now. He's always been the stern teacher, and giving him a distinguished flaw is a great element added to the show.

This episode sucked. A lot. But here's hoping next week pans out into something that brings it all back together.

For some reason I'm still amazed every single time they bring something from Blade 2 into this show.
 
so when everyone was going through the hole. it's like it got bigger. when eph went through it was a bit cramped. idk how fet manage to go inside without actually getting stuck half way.

i can't stop talking about the hole other than the crazy grandma. i feel that she'll die from accidentally firing off a machine gun

Not sure if it's yet to be explained or if it was just Setrakian's old age but was there a reason he stopped/appeared to be in pain when he was about to confront the Master? Did I just forget about something? No spoilers if it going to be revealed later pls.

Gus: Running down corridor/steps

The Master: Dropping to the ground, Knocking away Eph's gun, Speaking

Vamps: Electrocuted, Crawling after Fet

Vasiliy: Chopping two vamps, Smile after the light bomb worked
 
Yo I'm sorry, but the master's design is comical. I cannot take him serious.
The Master look is a bit muppetly for my tastes.
Who signed off on the Masters design? It's just terrible, the cloak never should have come off.
The Master looks like an alien wandered in from the set of The Fifth Element and put on big goofy gloves with sausage fingers.
Master still looking clowny

The Masters Design is so bad that it really takes you out of the show. If he is to evolve or something over time, they better make it soon because he is the least threatening of the vampires so far.
Paint his face and he looks like a clown. The prosthetics job is just terrible and Guillermo should have known better than to sign off on that design and then actually do close-ups of it numerous times as if he were proud of it. They need to go back to the drawing board, or use that UV bomb burning his face as a reason to change it. It's just sooooo bad.

The vamp doing that disturbing snake crawl through the tunnel after Fet was a million times scarier than the master. Wth is he supposed to be? If they added some external gills to the sides of his neck he would look just like a cheesy b movie swamp monster.

It's impossible for me not to laugh when I see him. Put your fucking hood back up goofball.

they should have fixed the lighting to give him a creepy look. but that light just made him look weird.

Come on guys. I would've been legit shook seeing the Master drop in on me like that. Such weight, such majesty.

Plus I sleep well at night in the knowledge that that's not even his final form. His "muppet" look works well for old country superstitious Master. I'm sure his next form will be VERY 21st century, "You gon get whooped son" type of badass.
 
The Master should be more decayed (by that I mean dead flesh scared over by "Vampire Magic") and have no ears. The Yoda ears make the character look really silly.
