s02e08: And That's the End of It. There's Nothing Else
Molloy questions the fiery fallout of Louis and Claudia's trial.
Based on Anne Rice's iconic novel, follow Louis de Pointe's epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy.
Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, or simply Interview with the Vampire, is an American gothic horror television series created by Rolin Jones for AMC, based on the 1976 novel of the same name by Anne Rice. The series follows the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) who recounts his life with his maker Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and teenage vampire Claudia (Bailey Bass and Delainey Hayles) to veteran journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), accompanied by ancient vampire Armand (Assad Zaman). The series embraces the homosexual elements of Rice's work, which are only insinuated in the 1994 film adaptation of the novel. It is the first television series in Rice's Immortal Universe.
Interview with the Vampire received a series order in June 2021, after AMC Networks had purchased the rights to intellectual property encompassing 18 of Rice's novels, primarily The Vampire Chronicles, in 2020. The series was renewed for an eight-episode second season in September 2022, ahead of the premiere of its first season on October 2, 2022.
The first season received critical acclaim, with praise going towards the writing, tone, costumes, soundtrack, production values, performances (particularly those of Anderson and Reid), and chemistry between the two actors.
Adapted from Anne Rice's 1976 gothic horror novel Interview with the Vampire, the series centers on the life story of vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy. An affluent black man in 1910s New Orleans, Louis is romanced and later made a vampire by the charismatic Lestat de Lioncourt. But the price of immortality is steep, and the relationship between Louis and Lestat is further complicated by the introduction of Lestat's newest fledgling, the teenage vampire Claudia.

finale reaction
#interviewwiththevampire #reaction #iwtv
Daniel is the #1 loustat truther. He wasn’t gonna rest until he got his ship back together 😭
All hail Daniel!!
Yessssssss!!!!!❤
Daniel is independent single woman Louis truther! He kept calling his relationship with Lestat abusive and Lestat his abuser and he was right.
@@elaine-fi8cjexcept Louis was the abuser, sorry
@@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimppeople keep saying that there is no such thing as a mutually abusive relationship, but I don't understand that. Two people in a relationship can definitely be abusive towards each other. I've seen it in real life. I think Louis and Lestat were abusive towards each other.
I still don’t understand why this show hasn’t been nominated for an Emmy…I loved the movie but the actors in the tv series are simply incredible
@@QAF4life It's timing but surely these performances will be on the ticket when eligible in 2025.
I think it actually is because of the time of year it comes out. Otherwise I totally think it would be.
@@Wattsupwithhybristophilia Rice changed her mind about Cruise when when she saw his performance. Interviews with Cruise about the character show he was dedicated to the part. I'd say the movie is worth seeing. I enjoy it and the show and books as different things (I haven't read all the books yet). (Note: You might want to edit the typo for "morph.")
Re: No Emmy nominations: Genre prejudice/snobbery.
Louis staying with Armand out spite is the petty I aspire to be
Louis is my hero
I like the way Louis is spicy in the series. He was sooooo bland in the book series but very sweet
I love that Louis goes back to Dubai at the end. We need to see him reclaiming that space, redecorating with color and dressing in color and bringing Paul and Claudia's memories into the space, removing the magnolia tree from Armand. Louis has primarily been part of a duo (Louis and Lestat, Louis and Claudia, Louis and Armand) and now he gets to stand on his own, decide what's important to him, and take a moment to exhale after everything he's been through. I love that for him. Jacob Anderson absolutely killed it this season
I've really enjoyed your reactions as always and I'm looking forward to eventually coming back for s3!
Oh girl! I swooned when Lestat sobbed and said he couldn’t get Claudia out of his mind. Tragic side note for the young non readers of the series. Interview with the vampire was written by Anne Rice in 1976 after she lost her 5 year old daughter to cancer. She wanted to make her immortal😢
Also her son is gay and she wanted to make a queer gothic romance... what a mama. Honoring her children. She also said she consider Louis a proxy of herself, but her favorite character Lestat was based on her husband. She said even years after the books were done, Lestat was still with her everywhere she went and she could constantly hear his voice commenting on things he liked in her mind when she would visit new places like the theater and cities. ♥️
@@Persephone_Personified Interview with the Vampire is the only book in the series with Louis as the main character, he drops off and is barely a footnote in the following books, Lestat becomes the focus and is eventually Prince Lestat with the core demon inside his body. she started writing the storyline before Chris Rice was even conceived. Anne herself thought if her own person as sexless. Fluid. So it wasn’t just for CR. Interview with the vampire was released in 1976, Chris Rice as born in 1978. The book was conceived for and after she lost her daughter to cancer, hence Claudia was born.
I love how Armand and Louie were sitting at opposite ends of the table with Daniel in the middle. It sums up the whole interaction with all 3 of them. I love how it was revealed that Armand was behind the treachery. I also love how they reveal that Armand turned Daniel too. The hurricane happening during the Lestat Louie scene was too good. And now the wait for season 3 begins.
I think Lestat turned Daniel, not Armand.
@@SimonsBand1 In the books Armand turns Daniel but it's a very long drawn out process. It's Armand that turns him and Daniel is the first fledgling that Armand has ever turned. Both Louie and Daniel allude to Armand turning him without using his name. I don't think they would change the maker of Daniel for the series.
@@KelliFranklin I wonder whether it was still somewhat drawn out but Louis doesn't know that. We'll see, I guess. I wasn't sure they would turn Daniel this early, but I remember those interviews for first-season press where EB talked about how he's always wanted to play a vampire and getting the call for this show only to be told he wouldn't be playing a vampire (well, not right away, anyway, which wasn't said in the interviews). I'm so happy for him!
@@HuntingViolets Tbh with you I was disappointed when the first episode aired and Daniel wasn't young like in the books. Eric's performance won me over and this season he just knocked it out of the park as Daniel. I'm so happy he finally got his wish lol. After last week I had a feeling that he would be turned in this episode. I can't explain it. I'm absolutely blown away with the first 2 seasons and I believe we are going to get a mix of TVL and TQOTD next season. If they handle it as well as they have the first 2 seasons I think we're in for something really good and Lestat in all of his rock star glory. Lol
@@KelliFranklin Yeah, this is the one show that isn't letting me down at all, whether they do something I expect or something I don't.
I love how Daniel brings up all the things the fans have questioned: "How is Lestat speaking to him telepathically?" (an early unreliable narrator clue), "Why is Sam in two places at once?" etc. Thank you for that, show.
@@HuntingViolets It's not snobbery or prejudice to see a glaring discrepancy. ALL of the viewers, whether previous Anne Rice fans or not, are likely to take note of that. A main theme of the show has been Louis's imperfect memory.
@@hollyvanwye9294 I made this reply to a comment about a lack of Emmy nominations. I have no idea how it ended up under my own comment about unreliable narrator, where it obviously makes no sense. I will see if I can move it to where it was supposed to be. Edit: I have moved it back and added a bit about Emmys so that if it wanders again, it will at least not cause trouble.
@@HuntingViolets I'm not sure how it came about either, and I apologize! I totally agree with you that the show and everyone associated with it should be nominated.
@@hollyvanwye9294 Thanks for drawing my attention to it. TH-cam is weird sometimes. What an amazing cast!
I was sobbing during that scene with Lestat and Louis at the end. It was like seeing my two sexy dads finally be honest and communicate face to face being vulnerable and real and loving.
I phrase it that way because The Vampire Chronicles have been a big part of my life since age 5 and I am 36 now. These messy ass vampires are like family.
Sexy dads 😂😂😂
As a reader of the original series, the changes to the story in this TV show actually turned out to be a brilliant idea... it allowed them to show the conflicting versions from both Louis' original version and the retold Lestat version in "The Vampire Lestat" without having to rehash it later. In addition, it gives the characters more of their actual characterizations from the later books that weren't as developed in IwtV. Armand in the books absolutely portrays himself as the wanting, needing of love and affection, while actually being a manipulative jerk and this series nailed it. Also, Sam Reid is amazing as Lestat... the mannerisms, laugh, walk has the perfect air of self-involved nonchalance.
Yes. I think that for all the surface level changes, like period, race and the consequences of those changes, it was surprisingly faithful to the original. Where it changed, it was mostly for the better: show Louis is awesome in a way I never expected, he's such a step up from book Louis, not to mention the quite boring Brad Pitt Louis. The show became my favorite version of this story - though, to be fair, I was never a huge Anne Rice fan. I liked the first book, tolerated the next two and couldn't stand anything else, so I'm certainly not as protective of her original work as fans of those books are.
Also right with you with Armand, he's absolutely not worse than the others, but he is such a petty, needy little sh*t, isn't he? And that is not me hating him, I kinda love that he is what he is 😂. He's not worse than Louis and Lestat, just far more punchable 😂😂😂
I love that according to Armand, his big 'punishment' from the coven was just doing all the jobs Claudia was expected to do lol
That scene when she looks at Lestat, I definitely saw her pleading for him to help. That's why it gutted Lestat. Such an amazing and painful moment.
At the end of the interview session, I think Louis and Armand were planning on either killing or forcibly turning Daniel. They said something like that they had something special for him at the dinner. Raglan James mentioned that there were four other people who attempted to do what he did, and they were all dead or undead.
I'm sure Real Rashid ran the hell out of there as soon as he delivered those scripts to Malloy. His cover was blown.
The very end where Louis challenges the vampires to come for him was less about swagger or trying to be threatening, but it was more about Louis finally completely owning his vampire nature.
I think Armand let Louis out of the coffin so that Louis would destroy the coven. Armand probably wanted out of the coven, so he used Louis rage as a weapon to destroy them.
You can actually tell Daniel is a vampire during the news interview if you look at his nails.
Great catch on the finger nail
Yes, those gleaming nails were on full display when Daniel held up his book, lol!
Lestat is going to be the main focus on season 3 and Louis will definitely still be in it. We are gonna see Lestats origins.
The summary says Lestat goes on tour with his band and is pissed off about his portrayal in Interview with the vampire. Apparently everyone is returning. Louis, Armand, Daniel the vampire Sam. Etc and also some new vampires from the book's!!!! So excited!
Yes, and we will have some fun & surprising new characters to meet!😏
This episode gave everything! Armand finally called out for being the monster we know him to be, Armand turning his first fledgling in Daniel and Louie and Lestat coming to terms with everything that happened. We also got an Akasha mention and I’m so excited about that! Next season will put Lestat front and center finally and I can’t wait. I’ve enjoyed watching this with you Lexi. I can’t wait to watch S3 with you!
Louis' John Wick moment was amazing!
Completely hysterical how Louis and Armand's relationship was based on getting back at Lestat, seeing that kiss was a punch to the gut for him.
Louis' and Lestat's reunion is so beautiful, mainly because it's not even about their romance necessarily, but about the grief of losing their child; after all, Claudia's character is based on Anne Rice's deceased daughter, who passed away by leukaemia at the age of 5 years old, so her existence itself is a way for the author to deal with her grief. And how beautifully they adapted it in the show.
Also, Armand's being Daniel's maker is something everyone should be excited about, their dynamic in the book is crazy and I'm sure it'll only get crazier in the show. Rockstar Lestat here we go!
😢that Loustat moment was everything to me, i know they're supposed to be an on and off couple that's why they are not "back together " by the end of this season but i hope they don't make us wait long for another reunion next season, but i must say Louis and Armand's relationship was so f*cked if you think about it coz Louis was enduring with Armand to spite Lestat the whole time (Jacob said that this was the reason Louis didn't reply to Lestat when he was burnt in San F, because he didn't want him to 'win' in a way), and i think it's so beautiful that we might never know what Louis and Lestat / Sam&Jacob said to each other when they hugged there's no audio of it apparently
Yeah, the reason why he isn't with Lestat in Dubai at the very end is basically because Lestat and Louis have an on-and-off relationship within the books... For like a really long time. They finally get together again permanently in book 12, from book readers have told me. So if we get enough seasons to fully tell all of the stories of all of the books... They're going to have an off and on relationship for a really long time until almost to the end of the show, probably, but they ARE endgame and they do end up together at the end and that's an important detail! To me, anyways.
Louis is just going to be on his own for a little bit, probably. And he said as much in the reunion in this episode. He says he is a companion enough for himself at this point. Meaning that he's going to just be by himself for a bit after two very toxic relationships back to back. lmao.
Within the books Louis fades into the background after this book because Anne Rice falls in love with Lestat and essentially doesn't want to write in Louis' perspective anymore... And considering that Louis is a reflection of Anne's own grief I guess I can kind of understand why she would want to take a step back from him because it took her a good couple of years(8 i think) to write the sequel to interview with a vampire... so she is distanced from that grief that she originally felt when creating Louie... but the showrunner has said that they're NOT going to do that in the show... Louis is going to be a co-lead... Whereas in the books Lestat very much becomes the main character and you really don't see Louis very much. So yeah, it's going to be REALLY interesting to see where they take Louis' character in the show because it's going to be VERY different from what happens to his character in the book.
And yes, as others have said, you absolutely can watch the movie now! Season 1 and 2 tell the complete story of the first book which is what the movie is based off of.
Yes you can watch the movie now, only follows book 1
And it really failed to catch the essence of the book. Armand and Louis never were together in the movie but the book captures them together for decades until Armand was tired of Louis’s depression
Yeah, you can definitely watch it now that you've seen this first season. You're going to be shocked by the pacing (it RUSHES through these events in only two hours) but it's a fun version of this world and the one that introduced me to The Vampire Chronicles. Brad Pitt is bland as hell as Louis, Tom Cruise is surprisingly good as Lestat (but isn't even in the same galaxy as Sam's performance), and Kirsten Dunst is a truly terrifying Claudia. If you watch for no other reason, watch for Kirsten Dunst as Claudia
Akasha is the Queen Vampire. She is a true immortal, meaning nothing can end her being. Not fire, not starvation. Nothing. When Lestat tells Louis he has “the blood of Akasha in me” he’s basically telling Louis he can try to kill him, but he won’t die. He’ll just keep coming back
Does this mean that Magnus is not dead because he is blood of Akasha? Or did Lestat get made by two vampires? Magnus and Akasha herself or Magnus and a descendant of Akasha?
@@3dflux magnus made sure he died. the books make it a little clearer. if we're getting the vampire Lestat as season three, we might even get a glimpse back
@@3dflux it’s hard to predict because the show runners are combining storylines and also are changing the order of events. In the books Lestat doesn’t have the blood of Akasha in him just yet, that happens later… then there’s the matter of Lestat becoming The Prince of all Vampires, hence the nickname, The Brat Prince. So I can’t really give anymore details bc I don’t know how its all going to play out
@@matchbox64Technically he does have a small bit of Akasha's blood at this point from when he spent time with Marius before traveling to New Orleans where he meets Louis. Just not nearly as much as he has later after QOTD.
@@LadyGreensleeves33 true
The show is a HUGE improvement on the movie! The title of the episode is a direct quote from near the end of the 1st novel. But definitely watch the movie if you’ve never seen it.
It's so fun watching reactions from people who haven't read the books. You sweet summer children have no idea of the emotional glass cases to come and the fun.
The mention of Akasha makes me hopeful for s3 focusing on Lestat being interviewed either adapting The Vampire Lestat or Queen of the Damned
S3 is going to cover the second book of the series - the vampire Lestat 😍I missed him so bad this season so I can't wait to have him front and center!
immediately dropped everything once i saw this video on my notifictions 😭😭
Season 3 has a new title. The Vampire Lestat
MY theory is that vampire Daniel Malloys next interview, the show IS called Interview with the Vampire, is going to be Lestat and Daniel will publish his follow up book/2nd book called The Vampire Lestat. That's just a hunch.
That's what I think too.
I agree.
They’ve confirmed that Lestat is next, although in the book Lestat writes the book himself as a response and correction to Louis portrayal of him I assume he doesn’t need to with the changes, so I would think your right, Daniel would seek him out being he’s a famous journalist in this version
@@ryno1509I have an idea for season three. Lestat contacts Daniel so that he can tell his story after hearing Louis version after reading the book. Daniel follows Lestat on the road as Lestat tours with his band and records the events of Lestats life.
Also the Immortal Universe is about to expand not just with Season 3 following The Vampire Lestat and the Mayfare Witches, but the Telemasca is getting it's own show. I do hope we get Remeses the Damned.
the ending sequence of the finale broke me, like whoever wrote that damn dialogue LAWD CHILE!!!!!!
You’ll be getting Lestat’s life story in season 3 book two is called the vampire Lestat and the show runner has confirmed they’re adapting that next
Armand lied in interview with a vampire movie , the scene after Louie killed the vampires ...he said " I didn't know" Louie " ahhhh you did"!
I had no idea interview with the vampire was renewed for a third season thanks for telling me this info. Great review/reaction of this finale episode of season 2
Rockstar Lestat is coming! When Louis published the book all the vampires in the world plan on coming after him for exposing the truth and Lestat starts a rock band and becomes Rockstar Lestat to protect Louis and summon all the ancient vampires including Akasha the oldest and most ancient vampire. Queen of the damned is the book of Akasha. That will be S3 current day and Lestat becomes a giant rockstar to save and protect Louis 👀
Omg I can’t wait! I am eager to see what genre of music will rise him into stardom
@@Wattsupwithhybristophilia I can’t wait for Daniel and Lestats interaction
Uhhhhh, with that plot, yikes. The story seems to be taking a 180. I'm not sure if that's actually in the books but if it is, it's completely out of character for Lestat. Hopefully they don't pull a Riverdale with this series, the first 2 seasons are so good, I pray that the 3rd season doesn't turn into some circus shit
@@girahira-p9x it’s in the Vampire Lestat book. I think what will happen is S3 Daniel will Interview Lestat and get his perspective and it’ll show the beginning stage and rise of fame from him being a rockstar and once Daniel gets done interviewing Lestat I think the end of S3 will have Akasha rising from the dead and it’ll set up for S4 for Akasha to be the main villain and Lestat had to find a way to get her powers to save Louis from her and every other ancient vampire but that stuff will be in S4. Or maybe I’m wrong and they fit all of this in for S3.😃
@@girahira-p9x I trust these writers know what they’re doing I don think they’ll turn it into a shit show like riverdale did. They’ve done amazing so far by honoring the books and Anne rice so I think they will deliver another really good season and so fourth.
I’m pretty sure Armand let Louis out of the coffin. It’s not clear why he did it, hopefully they go into that a bit in future seasons. Maybe he just got sick of hearing him scream.
I think he used Louis rage to destroy the coven.
One speculation on when Daniel might have been turned was some time prior to Daniel revealing the Truth. I only suspect this because Armand is shocked that Daniel is revealing everything. Also, Louis is telling Armand to stay away from Daniel since in the Lore, Makers can always find their fledglings.
The animation during the trial is a big hint that Armand was directing the play cause Santiago said it before that he doesn't like the animation😮 the clues are there!!!!!
You can indeed watch the movie Interview with the Vampire now. The movie and the first two seasons of the book are based on the first book.
If you’re avoiding spoilers, you cannot watch Queen of the Damned (even though it’s based on like 1/3 of book 3).
I'm glad Daniel lived too!
I truly wonder, if his zen garden of pebbles, is a reference to the rocks they filled his coffin with. A reminder/ therapy from the trauma he received from it.
lestat is going on tour and he's going to be a rockstar now he wasn't joking about it when he said that to louis. s3 will focus on his journey
You CAN watch the movie now, The show has given its version of the story of the first book and gone into some details from the next books (for example Lestat and Armand's backgrounds and how they met, Nicolas, name-dropping Akasha and some other things). The movie is just about the first book and it's closer to the book story.
This finally was so satisfying I felt joy pain and understanding and it felt so good great show wonderful series ❤❤❤
I’ve watched that scene so many times since it came out. It hits you just as hard as Zuko and Uncle Iroh in the tent. Every time. No matter how many times I watch these scenes. They just stab. They really do.
Lestat said he" has the blood of Akasha ". She is Queen of the Damned ( all vampires) most powerful, almost God like, along with her husband Enkil. They are referred to as Those Who Must Be Kept ( mainly because the are now marble like statues but still possess their powers)
FKA Twigs British singer, dancer, and actress is born to play Queen Akasha, the 6000 year old mother of all vampires.
Enkil. Only until Akasha rises and sucks her poor consort dry 😂 I can’t wait to see who they will cast as Marius and Akasha. Armand, Lestat and Marius are my fav vamps
@@Wattsupwithhybristophilia Interesting favorites.🌷 You have 1 wish, who would you want to be Marius?
@jordanparker657 Mads Mikkelson would be an ideal choice for Marius de Romanus, who turned Armand and a proprietor of Those Who Must Be Kept in Greece.
@Lovemydawg Eve Best from HotD is central casting for Lestat's mother/ fledgling vampire Gabrielle de Lioncourt, whose bloodlust holds no bounds.
Claudia kept Louis sane. She was the one that gave him the strength to fight back because he wasn't just doing it for himself but for her. Armand and Lestat hated that she'd get in-between there relationship to pull him back to himself and they made it clear. Lestat still loved her because she was his daughter but he hated how shed pull Louis back into himself so he wouldn't be so blinded by his love for Lestat then for his love for Armand.
The next book is Lestat's backstory, so I believe they will do that, although I think they will find a way to keep Louis in it and probably do it as another interview with Daniel. This is just a guess. Probably following different times as they have done all along.
i’ve never read the books, but i saw the movie a while back, so when i heard queen akasha’s name drop i was like YES MOTHERRRRR!!
yep you could watch the movie now ;)
You're so safe to watch the film
The books in the trilogy are
Interview with a Vampire
The Vampire Lestat
Queen of The Damned.
You should give them a read, this seems different to the film with Brad Pitt so I'd say you can watch it now. It's also slightly different to what I remember of the book as I read that at least 20 years ago. Great video as always 😊💜🐾👍👋
Like you said, where is Lestat in present day, there could be tons of drama. Also, we don't know it was Armand that turned Daniel. Louie just said "him". The false lead is a major storytelling device in this show.
Akasha is the mother of the vampires. so pretty much he is the king of the vampires because she took the crown from her husband.
I have watched the last episode over . It reminds me so much of the last conversation I had with my late husband. I love them as a couple. I hope we really don't have to wait a whole year for the vampire Lestat!
Claudia was definitely asking for Help with that last look to Lestat😢 you can see her mouthing "Help me, help" at that last scene and his look of horror was palpable😭😭 She haunts him bc this trial showed him that she was REALLY his baby girl and his arrogance fogged his thoughts until it was too late to save her too😫😔🤧😢😢😢
Hello 👋🏻. S3(and probably S4) will adapt book 2, The Vampire Lestat. Akasha shows up in book 3, so it’ll be awhile before we see her on the flesh. Also, the Talamasca guy, Raglan James doesn’t appear till book 4. There’s a theory that’s not him but someone else using the name as a cover ?
i can't wait to see Glam Rock Lestat!
The opening was too much Louie describing his pain losing Claudia had me bawling 😭
S3. Hallelujah. FINALLY.
Season three will feature Lestat's mother, Magnus, and several others from his pre/post vampire life. there are parts of "The Vampire Lestat" that are hilarious. Louis and Daniel will return in season 3.
You can watch the 1994 movie now that you have watched season 2: there are similarities yet differences between the stories, which is why I just don't compare the movie to the series. You will like (maybe love) the movie... I now sort of understand more the behaviour of the characters from the movie because the series gave me so much more context, explanation
Rolin says there will be Claudia in Season 3. As a ghost.
Season 3 is going to focus on The Vampire Lestat.
Didn't these vampires read the part where Louis destroyed an entire coven? And they want to hunt him? 🤔
I'm sure they're not pleased with him for destroying the Paris coven. But their main gripe would be his daring to expose their secret history to the mortal world.
When Lestat says he has the blood of Akasha, I didn't understand it either. But looking online, it seems like she is the first (or one of the first) vampires. So if she is hurt, other vampires get hurt too, something like that.
Spoiler for Queen of the Damned.....
She is the first vampire. She was made a vampire after a spirit/demon combined with her blood. She and her husband Enkil were Queen and king of pre Egypt. She and Enkil exist in a state of hibernation as living statues. They are over six thousand years old.
She was played in the movie Queen of the Damned by the star Aaliyah
Oh baby girl she was the first, she was possessed with the spirit Amel. Amel was the spirit consort of the red haired twins. One of the twins set Emel on Akasha for her awful grumpy personality 😂 I can’t wait to see who they will cast. Definitely should be of African descent since Egyptians were technically African in Akashas time
@@whatadollslifeI remember the day Aaliyah died. She wasn’t done buttoning up queen of the damned. Movie creators employed her brother and auto tuned his voice to help with some voice overs. Ugh tragic but the movie was also a tragic pile of 💩 Anne hated it
@@Wattsupwithhybristophilia I wish they would cast FKA Twigs...go watch her music video "Two Weeks" #fkatwigs
The other city on the title card is modern day New Orleans.
lexi did you forget or not know that Lestat has Akasha's blood in his veins and that he is protected by her?
i feel like armand would have let louis die just like nicky just to hurt lestat
Just wait til Akasha awakens Louis
Akasha was the first vampire in existence. Meaning that lestat was more powerful than any of them.
people dont understand he drank from lestat who drank from the mother akasha hes bad ass wish they explore his powers more
Anyone know the name of the piano score that plays as Armand is exposed?
Yes you can watch the movie adaptation now since you finished season 2 season 3 will focus on book 2 the vampire lestat
You don’t know who Akasha is? Well, count yourself lucky there.
Armaniel nation rise
Nah, Lestat knew all this time and didn't say anything, that's not ok for me. And his reasoning isn't good enough, I'm not saying it's the same as the person who did the lying, but it's still pretty bad.
Now I kinda want Armand to become a full unapologetic villain in next season, at this point I can't see any redeeming chances for him, but I love his character so much so I'm looking forward to what they will do with him. Also, out of everything, I just can't believe he would be ok with Louis dying, I would absolutely believe the rest and letting Claudia die, but for real IDK about that part...
And Louis scared me at the end, what are you doing?
Maybe Zoe Kravitz for Akasha in s3 or s4
no
SEVDALIZA , the singer, is who I've always pictured.
Oh, heads up Fam: there's a guy on FB pretending to be S. Reid, liking everybody's every post and inviting people to connect. Real S. Reid is way too busy for that. Be safe.

Hi Lexi! I know you don't do something like this, but amc released a teaser for IwtV season3 and it would be great to see you react to it, Pretty please!?
Maybe I'm in the minority but I don't want Louis and Lestat to get back together right away. Louis has jumped from one toxic relationship to another and so much of who he is as a vampire has been defined by those relationships and moulded by his partners, often against his will. I feel like he needs to be by himself for a while, live for himself and figure out who he is without someone else defining it for him. He needs to heal and find his self-worth before he can be in a healthy relationship with anyone.
I feel the same way. When he said he was companion enough for himself, I felt so proud of him
It's such a bland, bs take
They are soulmates and they wasted enough time already, they should get back together asap
Yes!
pleasee react to the movie 😭🙏
I am so excited and so relieved its been picked up for another season. Im hoping with Netflix adding IWTV, it will also pick up viewership. We need many MANY seasons of this show.
I looked it up and there are 13 books so we need 26 seasons. 2 seasons per book
@@TheLexiCrowd I'm totally down for that!
I want 65 year old Sam Reid to still be playing Lestat for Season 25. I don’t care if it’s realistic. Give me all the seasons.
@@Atomic0range lol
@@TheLexiCrowd I wish they'd do 15 episodes next season, so we could knock out the whole book. The actors are going to age, after all.
