The Master is in trouble but...

Never summons Kelly who is downstairs?

Has one ex-Navy SEAL strigoi...no one else?

Thankfully in the end, he can rely on the heroes being incompetent.

More like a incompetent little *beep* stain kid who they should've thrown in the river awhile ago messing things up.

They were incompetent for petty bickering and leaving Ephrem behind, and maybe not quadruple chaining and padlocking that coffin.

No Ephrem at Stoneheart, no confrontation. Plan to rid of Master goes forward....maybe. Eichhorst could still nuke the city out of spite, but by then they'd be out to sea....but then the EMP effect would affect their boat.

All the time they were transporting the box, I was thinking "They're just going to rely on a few latches to keep the master prisoner forever?" Being underwater, the hinges and latches would probably rust through in a decade or less.

If it was me, I would have had it placed in the center of a shipping container, and then fill the thing with concrete. Maybe surround that with a couple feet of molten glass (glass doesn't degrade in water).

This is a THREADED message board. Please reply to the proper post!

They were actually very competent. They boxed him up, and were about to bring him out into the ocean and sink him. It's that little sh*t who ruined things by nuking the place.

Just a couple of padlocks kept that box closed, no additional chains or anything.
When they saw the nuke explode they all had enough time to get in cover, bicker a bit at Quinlan, but left the box out there in the open to get blown away?

All of that was way too predictable and made me kinda angry while watching.

They could just have thrown over the cart the box was on, behind the cover, and sit their asses on top of the box and that would have been it. But I guess then there would be nothing left to do in season 4 

^^^ Exactly. The stupidity of the heroes is just getting to be too much.

^^^This.
