Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 First impression - I was terrified that Justine Feraldo was infected when that cop that Eichhorst loaded with C4 blew up. She's become one of my favorite characters. Thought it was dumb that they just let the worm crawl down her head into her eye, um grab that thing and burn it. doesn't look like she will be infected but has snazzy new worm scar lol. Hopefully it doesn't regenerate. Recall there was no worm transfer when The Master inhabited Bolivar Recall Eichorst planting the C4 telling the suicide bomber what a great honor this would be. Maybe the honor was carrying The Master to his new chosen host Total speculation, but Feraldo = New Master? I think the red worm is lurking. Why doesn't Quin kill the old blood suckers, they are so annoying, would to see old man Setrakian take those moldy trolls out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 I think the red worm is lurking. Remember the old blood suckers telling Quinlan and Setrakian this weakness is only temporary until The Master finds a new host. Then at the end The Master takes control of a muncher and talks to Eph, which leads me to think he has found a new host Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmmmmm........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 This season has been great so far. Episode 2 felt like a finale which was unexpectedly awesome. There was no way they would kill the Master off, so the worm crawling out was to be expected, but it was still nice to see. So long Bolivar! As to who the next Master will be, that will be fun to wonder about. Whoever suggested Zach upthread could be right. IMO, it gives the show more avenues to travel down. Instead of repeatedly have close calls of killing the Master, they can have the new mission of saving the host while destroying the worm. It presents new and different obstacles. It will also continue the conflict with the 'just kill em' crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmmmmm........ maybe the worm can summon its powers briefly and still control a muncher but not enough for full control like when he is in possession.

That's pretty much what I suspect as being the case, but I'm learning that it's easy to be wrong when making predictions with this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azalin Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 a new alliance? with a friend like him, who needs an enemy? When you think about it, Setrakian holds all the cards in this deal. He can withhold the serum as he wishes, and Palmer's on even thinner ice with Eichhorst as it is. He didn't even know that Bolivar had been slain, so if he's smart he'll realize that he's on the outs with the strigoi and nearing the end of his usefulness. Unfortunately for him, I think his usefulness has neared its end with both sides. I doubt he'll survive the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An agonizing painful natural death. Begging and pleading with Eichorst for the Master's white or with Setrakian for another dose of his formula. But both turn their backs on the pathetic wretch and let him wither out his days in agony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An agonizing painful natural death. Begging and pleading with Eichorst for the Master's white or with Setrakian for another dose of his formula. But both turn their backs on the pathetic wretch and let him wither out his days in agony I've read a summary of the trilogy of novels, and according to what I read, they've veered pretty far afield in the television version. According to the books, Bolivar/Master rips Palmer into pieces once his usefulness has past. This obviously won't happen now, so I'm expecting them to come up with a fresh round of treachery from Palmer - at least one more time. As I mentioned above, I don't see him making it past the end of this season. Unless he somehow becomes the recipient of the crimson worm, which I seriously doubt will happen.

Azalin Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) would make the perfect master though, who else could we hate more There is a scene in one of the promo videos for this season where they show Palmer lying face-up on the floor - he suddenly sits up, gasping, and there's what looks like bloody tears in his eyes. I posted it earlier in the thread, and I'll repost it if I can find it. Here it is: http://youtu.be/wenmEoWKdiI?t=1m6s Edited September 27, 2016 by Azalin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 FX announced today that season 4 will be the final season. Based on where they're at right now in the book story line, that might be rushing it just a bit, but I think they can do it as long as this season wraps up the material from the 2nd book.
