nah i thought it was him instantly as well

It was fairly obviously meant to be the same guy.

The more interesting question is - why? Plot-wise it seems pretty pointless. Perhaps the "awesome" books made more use of him or it was simply a case of reusing the actor.

I just can't take this show seriously. Each time they show you glimpse of the Master - being main villain - he always looks like something straight from Spitting Image, with large lips and grotesque smirky smile. The leader of staking anti vamp commando is much more creepy and menacing.

Last episode was very good. I enjoyed it. I like that they finally got the word out and how they are expanding the scale of it. I am pretty sure next season they are going to have to introduce more characters from a larger scope, like FBI and police and so on.

I agree the master is not very scary but i think if you are a young child it may be scary? I think they could have done a better job or making the master more scary looking.

The master looks like Big Gay Al from South Park.

The villain from jeepers creepers was much more scary looking, they should have done something like that.

Little known fact - it's actually a female that plays the master vampire.

Easily the best one yet. Just such a shame it's the last in this series

Decent finale I guess. All the 'guard' vampires were lol worthy though, as each one slowly dandered to it's decapitation without even a minor fight.

FrenchTart · 6 Oct 2014 at 23:03

I'm actually sold on reading the (from all accounts) terrible books - just in the hope that they will make more sense than the tv series.

lol what a utter **** ending. i was actually quite mad

So why didnt they kill the master instead of just watching him get a sun tan?

Exactly. Damn it was so stupid and frustrating. If that was real life they'd have been hacking at him like something that hacks a lot and quickly.

That was a very hard episode to watch due to the sheer stupidity of a lot of the characters. Oh and Zach you complete clown!

Why oh why does this have to be another vampire series? Supernaturals and vampires in particular are so incredibly played out.

Played out for you maybe, but for the generation after you it's probably still fresh and exciting?

If they'd condensed the misfit group thing down into 6 episodes and spent the remainder introducing the war between the vampires it would have been a much better season. So much of it just felt like filler so they could tease the more interesting storyline.
