Mas maganda kaya yung pacing ng show kung ginawa na lang nilang linear yung story telling? Simulan sa kabataan ni setrakian, nazi concentration camp, tapos present day?
And yeah, pang shake, rattle and roll lang ang itsura ni master! Could've been scarier if they kept him in the shadows.

I think that would be boring. Baka 2 episodes pa lang, i-cancel na ng network.

di na siguro mawawala ang flashback, marami tv series me ganyan

Worst episode ever--everything bad about this show is in this episode: bad pacing, bad writing, bad acting, bad characterization, and more. Also includes a series of awkwardly-placed flashbacks about a character that no one cares about (Eph's annoying, dim-witted wife).

lol super slow ng pacing. and right they dedicated one episode to the ex wife who probably no one cares about.

At this point, I'm just hate-watching the show and see where it's going, LOL

But hopefully they listen to the feedback they've been getting so they can improve it next season.

whatever happened dun sa mga nagrescue sa mga kids?

i am seriously questioning myself why i still put up with this. it's hard to empathize with the characters and its quite clear the creators are gunning for a walking dead feel with the situations eph and company find themselves in but ultimately everything falls flat and irritating because of the sheer stupidity everyone brings to the table.

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #71 on:** Sep 22, 2014 at 11:01 PM »

I actually like the show. Of all the shows I wait for on Mondays, I see to it I watch this first. Since probably all those who hate it watch every episode, it was enough for FX to renew it for a second season just six weeks into its freshman run.

bunnygod · « **Reply #72 on:** Sep 23, 2014 at 01:42 PM »

the first six episodes were good! but it's downhill from there

Anyone else lol'd at how butt-ugly the boss vampire is? He totally looks like a clown. Not something that would intimidate me. Parang sa video game eh minor enemy. Kung sa Lord of the Rings, orc lang. haha

I always burst out laughing everytime they show the Master--he reminds me of the Weekly World News' infamous Batboy, LOL

there must be some inside joke about that stupid decision to make him look like that, right? It's either that or they hired an amateur to come up with those stupid looking masks. haha

that's why this show is a hoot to watch -- lots of serious-looking people acting without brains, plus a villain with a giant head made out of papier-mache

All I want to know is why the Master had to travel to the US in the 1st place. It's not like there was nothing to eat in the EU I suppose.

I think the rich guy made arrangements to have the master be brought to the US as a back up plan since he was dying. If the transplant doesn't work, he would let himself be turned.

There was a scene there, that when it happened, i actually shouted, "Yes! There is a God!"

Spoiler alert...but it had to do with the mother of Nora.

actually...yes.

It was an okay-structured episode for a change, flashbacks were still awkward, but were an okay build up to that heart in Setrakian's basement (although they could've done this several episodes ago)... and Quinlan shows up in this episode.

to those who read the books, is Dutch an original character created for the TV series?

next week is the season finale.

bunnygod · « **Reply #86 on:** Sep 30, 2014 at 11:03 PM »

plan to watch episodes 12 and 13 back to back na lang next week

Dutch is an original character in the books.

The TV show so far has stayed true to the book... In some parts, even the dialogue is the same.

It's just that in the books, the story translated better. It was easier to forgive mistakes because they were not visual.

This, officially, made itself the worst and most stupid series there is. the Finale just made sure of it. cant believe i completed the whole season hoping there will be something in the finale to at least make it worth it.

the worst actors, the worst story, the worst everything! Even worst than The Leftovers

2 reason lang bakit ko tinitigil ang panonood ng isang series...

1. worse

Quote from: kingofpain on Oct 09, 2014 at 07:47 AM

2. too good and very effective na nagsisimula nang pumasok - getting in my mind > HANNIBAL
