So why was Dutch affected by the signal transmitter thing?


are they ever going to explain why she had that reaction or did they already explain it and i missed it?

Eph's Jewish ancestry makes him more immune. That's why the Master supported the Holocaust.

I'm guessing. No idea.

High frequencies are less perceptible to older people. There is actually a ring tone for younguns that parents can't hear.

Didn't they use the feelers brain as a filter to spread it to the other strigoi? I'm a little confused as to how the device works.

I wonder what it would do to Eichorst.

Im also wondering why they actually freeze, because when the Master was a worm(assuming that he has no special powers in this form), the other Strigoi didnt just stand still either.

Im not really sure what was up with Dutch, because i doubt that, as another poster suggested, that younger people can hear higher pitches, while that statement itself is true, but i dont think it applies to the show, because the show did not put in an audible high pitch sound in the scene either to explain it to us, certainly not to the degree where Eph was perfectly fine but Dutch was almost fainting.

There must be a backstory to it, not that i care, but surely there has to be.

I skip reading the bottom line, because it is usually some lame signature.

Because she is a dumb gunt, and her mosquito brain could not handle it.
