Eph/Dutch discussing the bomb plans in front of vamps is IDIOTIC, right?

if the Master can see through every vamp's eyes (basically using the vamps as a camera/telephone) doesn't that mean anything discussed in front of any/every vamp (created with the Master's vamp strain) is instantly heard by the Master as well?

someone/something tipped off Kelly/Eichorst/etc about the Central Park silver bomb gig and isn't it technically Eph/Dutch/Fet/Kate Rogers who tipped the vamps off since they without hesitation revealed the bomb plans right in front of the vamp test subjects on the tables at Fet's place?

and if i'm right (about the vamps being microphones for the Master) about this doesn't that make Eph/Dutch/etc mind-numbingly stupid for not adhering to the show's established vamp rules?

It really is ridiculous that they keep planning and/or talking about their plans in front of vampires.

They understand The Master's communication abilities. They've used it to their advantage before. Eph and Dutch's storyline for the past few episodes has been about attempting to disrupt The Master's ability to communicate with his vampires.

During the conversation where they're talking about Feraldo's attack on Central Park in front of vampires, Dutch even mentions how it's a great opportunity to study how they communicate. So vampire communication is at the forefront of her mind and she still doesn't realize the vampire might be hearing their plan.

If Feta took his bazooka to their home/lab and just blew it up with them inside, the cause of the Human Race would take ten steps forward.

It doesn't matter, because The Master wanted them to focus in on the big nest. That was his plan all along.

Kind of idiotic you still haven't figured that out.

Didn't they also say something along that line at the operations place as they watched all the strigoi overrun their checkpoints? That the vamps wanted them to focus on the nest so they do that?

People got to keep a better eye on this as they watch it.

MissAgnes, my point is still valid. do you think it's a smart move for the characters to discuss their vamp killing plans in front of a the Master (which is what the characters are doing by talking about them in front of any vamp that's not Eichorst and maybe Kelly since they have a bit more independence given to them by the Master)?

That only happened when their eyes glow.

[–] SBL84 8 years ago

Their eyes glow when The Master takes over. Like when he spoke to Gus through his mom, or when he stopped Kelly from snacking on Zach.

How do you think The Master knows when to take over if he isn't aware of what they're experiencing? Do you think he just lucked out and picked THOSE moments to pop into those specific vampires which turned out to be advantageous at the time?

I don't believe he hears everything. Based on Eichhorst telling Palmer that he wouldn't tell The Master about his threat.

[–] JJett131313 8 years ago

Stan, but Eichorst (as you know) is almost entirely or completely independent from the Master (just like Kelly was given back some of her independence). i think the vamps the Master does that with don't have that always on listening feature for the Master. so Palmer's threat wouldn't have been heard (by the Master) through Eichorst since he's one of the independent type vamps. i agree w/ SBL that a vamp's eyes only glow red when the Master is directly speaking to Eph (or whoever).

That only happened when their eyes glow.

The Master can move his consciousness though, right?
Why would anyone risk it?
