Requires Word Of God confirmation


* AuthorsSavingThrow: After The Master's real face was shown near the end of season 1 and was believed my many fans to be too goofy to be taken seriously, the writers responded by moving him into Bolivar's body earlier than he did in the books.

No, this is just the actress commenting on something that will happen to her character in the future. It's not an event that makes a previous event in the show harder to watch


* FunnyAneurysmMoment: At Comic-Con, the cast were asked for survival tips. Creator/NatalieBrown suggested using kitchen utensils to defend yourself. One month later, the episode "Loved Ones" has her character Kelly using this exact method to defend herself against vampire Matt [[spoiler: and failing to prevent herself from getting infected.]]

* FoeYay: Abraham Setrakian and Thomas Eichhorst, ''especially'' in the flashbacks. Eichhorst is just a little too obsessed with Setrakian.
** There's plenty of people who quietly (and not so quietly) ship them, especially on Tumblr.
** Of all the fanfiction that has been written, Setrakian and Eichhorst have the most number of fics - and every single one of the fics involves the other. Miriam, Setrakian's wife, doesn't have a single story written about her, let alone with her husband.

* WhatAnIdiot: Oh, PLENTY! But special mention goes to:
** Matt. A guy comes into the store, bleeding from the neck, and says a couple guys attacked him.
'''You'd Expect:''' For Matt to at least believe that there were a couple of thugs in the mall who were clearly armed and dangerous, grab anything that can be used as a weapon for the intimidation factor, and confront them.
'''Instead:''' He marches on out of the store, unarmed, and asks them "Did you do this?" Needless to say, he becomes vampire food.
** Setrakian has the Master pinned down outside in the sunlight. He is about to swing his sword and behead the monstrosity once and for all.
'''You'd Expect:''' For him to swing immediately and kill the Master.
'''Instead:''' He raises his sword but hesitates for a moment. While he hesitates, the Master rises back to his feet, taking just a little bit of sun damage, then flees off into the darkness to continue his plans of domination.
** Similarly to Setrakian, Nora has the vampiric Kelly cornered in the subway tunnels. But Zach spots them and cries for Nora to stop.
'''You'd Expect:''' For Nora to ignore him and kill Kelly, or at the very least drive her away with UV light, and try to reconcile with Zach later.
'''Instead:''' She stops attacking, and Kelly [[spoiler:takes the opportunity to sting and infect her. Not only does this end with Nora's suicide by electrocution, but Kelly makes off with Zach.]]

** Matt, for marching on up to a couple of ''strigoi'' to confront them after a guy who's bleeding from the neck limps into his store. He doesn't carry anything that could be used as a weapon. Not even him refusing to believe in vampires excuses it, because at the very least, he could have at the very ''least'' have bothered with the intimidation factor.
** While it's an obvious case of AnthropicPrinciple, Setrakian, of all people, gets one at the end of the first season. He's got the Master cornered outside in the sunlight and has the perfect opportunity to kill him and (supposedly) end his reign of terror before it gets any worse. Instead, he just slowly raises his sword, giving the Master plenty of time to get up and run away.
** Nora [[spoiler:stops slashing at Kelly when Zach begs her to. Though she might have ended up on the receiving end of Zach's ire, she wouldn't have been infected and would have lived in the long run if she didn't listen to him.]]

* MST3KMantra: The first episode throws so much vampire evidence at the audience that you'll find yourself wondering why nobody even joked about them being a possible explanation for what happened to the plane.
