To what extent do you think Louis's feelings about vampirism are just extensions of his feelings about his own queerness? The shame, the thought that something is inherently flawed within him, the need to starve himself in penance echoing the way he used to deny himself men's company? And how do you think it impacts Lestat that Louis thinks that way -- either about the vampirism or the queerness?

Elizabeth Gates

In this episode, we learn that vampire makers can no longer get into the heads of their fledglings. And present-day Louis admits he had free will to bed Lestat or argue with him. With this in mind, and seeing Louis's reactions to Lestat in this episode, does it affect how you see Louis's reactions to Lestat in Eps. 1? You said you believed that Lestat was supernaturally manipulating Louis's feelings for him. My view is that the obsession with Lestat -- the draw to him -- both as a human and as a vampire is mostly natural (if very intense). That's why Lestat wanted Louis's permission to turn him. Even the "Come to me" in Eps. 1 was shown to be a suggestion - Louis clearly didn't have to follow it as he went to see Lily instead. Lestat is seeking reciprocation, not compulsion.

Louis didn't like the way Lestat played with his food (aka the tenor) and favors less violence in general. However, do you think that the production he put on at the dinner table with Daniel was meant to serve a similar psychological purpose? Was Louis taking pleasure in causing a human's (Daniel's) obvious discomfort? Similarly, while Lestat is obviously manipulative, do you have thoughts on Louis's own penchant for that? Getting Lestat to buy him the Fairplay, circumventing the law with the balconies, etc.?

Not a question. Just a fun fact. Idk if you recognized it, but Louie is played by Jacob Anderson... Who plays Greyworm in Game of Thrones
