The Return Of Eichorst
While The Master may be the big baddie of the show, from the audience’s perspective the bad guy really is Eichorst. Think of him as the “Darth Vader” to The Master’s “Emperor Palpatine.” We’ve not only seen him leading the Strigoi more than The Master, but we also have much more of a backstory for him. He’s always been a bad guy even before he was turned. He’s actually the bad guy you like to root for because he’s so deliciously evil. He has surely been missed these first few episodes. While trying to focus more of the story on The Master, the show dropped one of its most interesting characters.
Good for this episode, we get him back. Not only is he still alive and kicking, but he’s still as evil as he ever was. Because of him, the good guys got dealt a strong blow this episode. Who would have thought to use the vampires as a suicide bomber? Only someone as evil as Eichorst of course! Since The Master is back to lurking in the shadows, let’s hope that his number 2 is out front and center this season going forward.
Speaking of his plan…..
