I appreciate you trying to see things from Lestat's point of view, or at least his fans POV but I just want to say there was nothing wrong with your initial interpretation.

This is very quickly becoming my favourite part of the week. You're very sweet together and it's quite interesting to watch some of your back and forth between some scenes. I think I got sucked into this like Darkwave, I'm just glued to it and no questioning or deeper thoughts go on behind my peepers until later! It'd be interesting to see what she thinks reflecting on this episode before the next. Some great insights in the second view section. I quite agree, Armand seems to just sit into the role he wants Louis to direct, but in the end, he's still the editor at the end of the day; his submission is surface level. Lestat does appear to do things he thinks will please Louis or for his benefit, but Louis always seems to dislike his execution of these. Also, Daniel is the best, such a bitch, I love him.

I wonder if Daniel thinking he owned a Buick was a throwaway show of memory being fickle and weird, or if it's like how the "freebaser I met in a drug den" was all burnt up when he gave him the words to keep going - meaning maybe it wasn't a throwaway and is related to an altered or erased memory. I've been really thinking about DANIEL this time, why he's there, what he's doing, how Louis and Armand even negotiated the interview with each other in the first place, who had the tapes, how they got to him, half a century being a repeated number quite frequently. It's very interesting that the first thing we hear after he changes the channel in ep 1 away from his ad and the news to the blacksmithing show is "can he make his fantasy a reality?" Which fantasy? The one he had as a young man in San Fransisco? The "cure for Parkinsons?" Tell your gf someone yelled "GACKT FAN" out loud and pointed at the TV when she sang "redemption" at the end

It's interesting to refer to Armand as the editor and Louis as the director - Armand has always given me director (I mean, he's literally the theatre director, but I'm a director and I see him and his actions and influences) while Louis is whatever he need to be to endure his situation - a real actor. They don't have any intimacy at this point of their relationship, it seems, so I'm unsure how much fun they're having in their D/s kink dynamic, either. Just kind of bland and sad between them. And I think it's a show of how Armand can direct a situation while seeming the most powerless, considering the entire trial situation. Where else can and does he use this ability? He was a theatre director for centuries, you know? Also to be clear - I fucking looooove Armand, I love them all honestly. They're all so messy, have their individual wild fuckhead sides and have so much to love in them. S3 is going to be crazyyyy

I LOVE what she said about the paintings at the beginning, she's right they're definitely symbolic and having them framed that way in the shot is so cool

For movieman: Not to come for "pookie bear" too much lmao, but I was honestly very very refreshed by your critical response to lestat upon your first viewing. I feel like the constant Lestat defense by some folks really kind of undermines the story that was so beautifully crafted in these first two seasons. Certainly, it is interesting to kind of play devil's advocate and try and see the story from a perspective other than Louis'. But i would also like to stress that these first two seasons are absolutely Louis' story, Louis' truth and we must recognise that his story is important and shouldn't be questioned to the degree where all these incredibly important themes that are explored kind of become hollow. Because that is also NOT what the show is doing. The inconsistencies being uncovered in Louis' recounting of events are an explicit foreshadowing of one of the biggest revelations in season 2, namely Armand's betrayal, his rewriting of Louis' own memories. It is also such an incredible real life parallel to how victims question their very own reality in physical/emotional abuse situations. I do not mean to absolve Louis of any agency as a character, but rather, I feel like we need to remember that he is (and of course Claudia is as well), above all a victim and survivor and the show tells the story of him 1. working this out, figuring out what HIS actual truth is, by breaking through all the gaslighting and violence he has been traumatised by first by Lestat, then by Armand and 2. how he breaks free from his passive "prison of empathy" he's been in these past 70 years by taking control of his own life again, of his own narrative and embracing himself as a monster/vampire, as a survivor and as a grieving parent. I find Louis as a character to be incredibly sympathetic. I enjoy that he isn't the "perfect victim", I love that he's allowed to be flawed and instead of the show punishing him for it, he gets to take control and figure himself out and he gets to go on this beautiful arc of growth. There's still plenty of room to explore Lestat and even Armand as main characters with their own deeply complex stories, but idk. I wish fandom could just sit with the first two seasons as Louis' story, which doesn't need a shoe-horned retconning of Lestat's actions. The show literally doesn't do that. Lestat is a character who serves a specific function in the story the show is telling. Next season, he will GET his own chance to be the main character. We don't need to sideline Louis in his own story in order to do that.

The book Louis reads from is actually Daniel’s memoir. You can see a younger Daniel on the back of the book. And fun fact, the actor who plays Jonah originally auditioned for the part of Louis.

Austin.. I tend to think Louis asked Armand not to linger because of Armand’s tendency to want to steer the narrative—partly out of jealousy toward Lestat, and later out of a need to protect himself from “the lie.” I can imagine Louis not wanting Armand to hear everything he said about Lestat and then compare it to what he had shared with Armand in confidence. Louis tries to be honest, but he is also known to embellish, stretch the truth, or even misremember events. He does this, as many of us do, to emphasize a point or to shape the story in a way that elicits sympathy. I keep coming back to the line where Louis told Lestat he would always be alone. Clearly, it struck a nerve with Lestat, but I imagine Louis’s true feelings in that moment were far more complex. It was a wild, emotionally charged thing to say—especially when aimed at someone whose deepest fear it is. That kind of comment cuts directly at a partner’s insecurities, which is something you simply don’t do. To me, that crosses into emotional abuse, whether manic or not. All of these characters are deeply flawed, and that is part of what makes them compelling. Looking at Lestat through a more sympathetic lens isn’t a bad approach. Yes, he openly admits to being a “brat,” but like all people (and Louis), he grows. That growth is a testament to Anne Rice’s remarkable writing—she created characters capable of evolution, contradiction, and nuance. The balance between seeing Lestat as monstrous and as vulnerable is difficult to strike, because the truth is likely somewhere more complicated than either extreme. Understanding the apex predator mindset is key, and I’m glad to see you engaging with it more in this viewing. It isn’t easy to do as a human, which again speaks to Anne’s brilliance in crafting these layered, unforgettable characters.

Not to argue but Armand is listening whether he's in the room or not. Remember in episode 6 when Daniel falls asleep, Louis asks Rashid if he's awake and and responds "I can be" (said no asleep person ever). So he's never not listening. However Armand is being weird by just standing there. So yes, he's probably unsettling to Louis and Daniel anyway whether he's listening in on the interview or not. PS, I do think at the stage Armand was only giving his two cents on how the interview should go behind closed doors, not while he's in the living room. Also probably explains why Louis waited for the beginning of episode 2 to apologise for something he did at the start of episode 1.

Appreciate you saying so! I definitely stand by my original takes overall, I'm just making more on an empathic attempt to understand certain characters with added context :)
