Am I the only one who thought the master looked funny goofy in the last episode?  The nazi without his makeup looked creepier to me.  Please tell me the old lady dies soon too.  Oh Mia blah blah cigarettes blah blah.

Yeah...oversized dimensions (especially the head) made him look goofy. Nazi Commandant without makeup looked creepier because he looked more 'real'.

There's a reason his dimensions are oversized.

I don't think he has IDed himself in the show yet?

I learned his name and pedigree from the books.

Very Interesting story too

So how old is the old guy in the books? Cause it looked like he was in his early to mid 20's in the camp, which would make him in his 90's now. I like the series, but thats one really active 95 year old.

I think it's just part of the ongoing lack of originality when it comes to the TV and film set.  It would have made much more sense to start it in a Russian gulag in the '50s.  I'm just trying to ignore it.

The Strain's wiki page has him at 88 years old. If Treblinka was liberated around 44 or 45 when he escaped, it would put his age somewhere around 18-20 during his imprisonment.

I watched the first couple episodes and was like meh. Then I let the next seven pile up on the DVR and watched them all in a row. It was way better that way, more action like instead of a slow pace.

I'm still in amazement that they would go hunting something as dangerous as the Master without any explanation of what it is. Why is it 10 times faster than the other vamps? Does it have regular vamp weaknesses? How smart is it? How can we trap it? Kill it? The old man has given them zero explanation of this thing. I wouldn't hunt anything without knowing even just a little info about it, much less something as dangerous as the Master.

I know the German was fast, but when the Master moves you can't even see him. I guess I'm just really curious about him as they've given us nothing about him.

I'm always curious about stories of these old beings. Because I would imagine that if you were immortal,  at some point you would become an emotionless, apathetic, evil and uncaring monster because the only joy you would have is ending people's lives in the most callous way you could think of, as you wish your life would end. I can't think of a more horrible fate than to live forever among the people of Earth.
