    I haven't read the books so I'm going strictly off what the show is doing. I'm yelling at the screen like stab this ? while he outside. Man ?

    The master surviving the sunlight was in the book and Abraham didn't stab him because he was so shocked that he didn't burn up in the sun.

    I hear what you're saying because you have two perspectives, show and book.
    Did Abe really have to recite some ? before he attempted to stab him? Lol
    Man I'm stabbing him every which way.

    Also, Zach need to man up and Eph should have been told him about moms. They in a different world now.

    He says it as like for comfort or some ? like that I don't know lol but ya actually in the book the wife tries to bite his ass way earlier when she broke in Abes shop when Zac was upstairs by himself. That's when he finds out his mother has been turned and Eph tries to ? her but she escapes.

    Can't believe they went through the whole first book in one season.

    They left a bunch of ? out, but thats not main concern. If they ended season 1 the same way book 1 ended, they might only be doing 3 seasons of the show, one for each book. When there's enough material to do 5-6 seasons easily with no downtime.

    So is the reason Thomas can just walk around in the sunlight a spoiler?

    This show relies on plot induced stupidity way too much. There is absolutely no reasonable explanation for them not attacking the Master while he was down. That "Abe was shocked" ? doesn't fly. If he was that pressed to ? the Master he would have been on him immediately trying to take him out. Dude was ready to walk into a den of monsters solo for the small chance he might make it to the Master, but now he's so easily shaken that he can't stab the Master while he's clearly in a weakened state?

    His character didn't pop until book 2 but I do recall him being out and about for a book auction. I think it has something to do with all the makeup he wears.

    Setrakian shoulda clapped him when they were outside.

    In the book, the master flies outside but wasnt as helpless as in the show. He actually threw his ? cloak off and "howled at the sun in defiance" on some gutter ? , telling everybody they couldnt ? with him even in daylight. Everybody was in such shock they never had a chance to act. I wonder why they didnt include that.

    On the show, dude was basically beaten and ripe for the picking. Maybe Abe wanted to watch him burn but I woulda still put that silver to him just for merkin wifey back in the day. Its too personal for me to just watch him burn.

    Either way they bout to regret the ? out of it. That aint no spoiler, you ? had to know its bout to go down now.

    You read the third book yet? Most trill by far.
    Almost wish they'd skip past the 2nd and just film all that crazy vamp historical/biblical origin ? .
    And yeah, Eichhorst never just chilled in the sunlight in the book so im assuming its his makeup protecting him.

    Sounds like the creators of the show just aren't very smart about how they edit the source material.

    Del Toro is the creator and the writer of the book, so whatever is on the show is what he wanted. Why he left out or changed so many trill aspects of his book is a mystery.

    and cosign whoever said that Eph should've offed his ex-wife...I can understand loving her and never gettin over her, but she's turned now, that ain't yo ex-wife anymore...and the fact that turned folks go after their loved ones automatically lets erybody know that eventually she's gonna go after her son...smh

    I can't lie. I hate that dude Eph. He is too much on a high horse. He and his chick want to act like they are the only ones that are in the fight for good reasons, while everyone else is just a ? human being that happens to be on the right side. It's annoying.

    And one last thing...I'm pretty sure that the Master isn't permanently attached to the coffin Setrakian made for him...but, would it have hurt to blow it the ? up while they were there AND the plumber dude was toting dynamite??

    Haven't been watching the show, but this is the exact kind of ? I was talking about on the first few pages of this thread, this kind of ? goes down in the books as well. "Yo, just go chop that ? up real quick."

    The show will probably get meh to me as well if they follow a similar story line, main problem I had with it was suspension of disbelief. While I was reading through the scene in the book I was like

    entire neighborhoods, and apartment buildings of people were getting ate up, and like 1/3 of the pop went missing, but the people are still going "nope, no vampires, this is all a result of rioting."

    Yea final episode was kinda wack. No cliff hanger or anything. ? was like watching the following where they just do ? so stupid you wanna turn it off. So dude just gonna throw ole girl off the building and act like ain't ? happen. This ? starting to be like the following. Where you like the action but the writers put in some ? things that you have to suspend common sense to really believe.
