Louis talking about how Madeleine saw Claudia in her memories, and how she would be a better companion to her than he ever could be, was like a father giving his daughter away on her wedding day. 😭😭😭
@@cyanrose499 well sorta kinda, he DID bleed himself out post-turning madeline + claudia leaving, so yes hes being honest with himself........ but he does still have an emotional breakdown!
I feel so bad but the first time I watched it, I went "oohhhh...noooo...it's gonna be bright real soon...👀" But yeah, the way Madeline is the only one who truly sees Claudia as happy being herself rather than assuming she'd be happy serving a role for themselves was heart warming
If intimacy issues do exist, I wonder if they stem from Armand not having agency over his body for such a long time. He seems to like romantic and sweet gestures. But time will tell..
This is why next episode they are gonna revisit the fight from episode 5 season 1, and also the making of Claudia. So we can’t just rely on Louis reconle
I don't think it could be proved that Lestat attempted to kill Louis. Severely injured, yes, but not murder. He is guilty of turning a child into a vampire.
I have a crack theory that he is also going to end up on trial. And Armand is going to use that to kill two birds with one stone: Claudia and Lestat. Except Lestat is far less killable than Claudia. But that's very unlikely to happen
Here's the list of charges: -Attempted murder towards Lestat -The actual murder of Antoinette -The making of Claudia ( a teenager kid) -The making of Madeleine and revealing to her that vampire exist ( only Armand is allowed to make other vamp as coven master and ) -Claudia's diaries ( telling the story of vamps) It's literally a violation of all 5 rules. Needless to say that they are in big trouble.
Yea but Lestat has agency, especially as someone older and who was Louis maker. He was not and could not be forced to do it by Louis. Lestat chose. Does the working of the dark trick have to be done by Armand? Because technically they had his permission to change Madeline…. Permission is a bit of a stretch… but he could say it was so and no one would be the wiser. So in actuality, the only person that broke laws is Claudia. And technically she really only broke one, keeping all those journals. (the killing in front of the human Madeline should have become null and void once she then turned into a vampire herself)
i just wanted to leave a comment and say that your episode breakdowns/reviews have been one of my favourite things i’ve discovered while this season has been coming out!! your understanding of the show and it’s complexity and themes is really really welcome and i can’t count the number of times i’ve thought “yes!! exactly that!” while watching. idk your vibes are just so nice and chill and watching these breakdowns has kinda become part of the weekly iwtv watching routine for me lol. always a treat to see you’ve uploaded!! keep up the great work!
They did attempt to kill him. Why shouldn't he deserve justice? He did violate the rules by making Claudia, though. This is more about the covens petty bullshit. Lestat doesn't want Louis harmed.
And I want to know how come this season with Louis and Armand, there has never been a good love scene between them. Compare to season 1 with he and Lestat.
@@dadagirl29maybe Assad wasn't as comfortable with nudity as Jacob and Sam? I think the producers only wanted to go as far as the actors were comfortable with just like how Antoinette's actress didn't show much but Miss Lily showed way more
@@cyanrose499I think that’s partially it. I just remembered watching something else with Assad, and for the love scene he only removed his top not his pants (this makes me sound like a creep I’m aware…). But on the other hand, all Louis and Armand’s kissing scenes (with the exception of the chaste kiss in hr bedroom in ep. 1) have been shrouded in darkness. Especially their first kiss at the end of ep. 3 it’s all framed in the dark. Yet, earlier in that very same episode the kissing scene that Louis had with dreamstat is bright, framed in golden light….
@@dadagirl29 it’s an intentional artistic choice by the show. It’s supposed to relay to the audience that their relationship lacked real passion. I doubt it’s Assad making those kinds of decisions. He’s shown his behind before in another role and done love scenes .
It struck me about Louis being jealous of Claudia and Madeline's relationship. That the start of their vampire relationship is the ideal version of Loustat. Claudia and Madeline got to know each other as human and vampire. And Claudia explained not only her past but what being a vampire would be like. And allowed Madeline the time she needed to choose to become a vampire. There is also an interesting thing about Madeline's past. Madeline has a mentally ill sibling that died early, and she has survived the death of the rest of her family. It 's a similar background to Louis, but it happened before the influence of a vampire. Anyways, I love you reactions.
Wow I love the connection between Madeline’s past and Louis’. I agree, Claudeline shows us the difference between being loved and being loved *right.* Whether or not certain characters love each other is secondary to me, because we see clearly that love isn’t enough. Louis and Lestat are in lifelong, deep love, but they never loved each other *right.* Never equal. Never healthy. In many ways, Louis loves Claudia more than anyone else, but he can never quite figure out how to love her in the right way. And Madeline does. I think Louis is jealous of/hurt by that too
@@001dipstickcouldn't have said it better! What has to hurt Louis more is how consensual the turning of Madeline was compared to when he was turned by Lestat. Louis was terrified in that church and Lestat started off by basically threatening him to choose actual death or the Dark Gift before switching tactics to expose his vulnerabilities and tell him how deeply he loves him. Didn't even give him aftercare or reassurances like Claudia was doing to Madeline throughout! Lestat was just blasé about the whole thing and could barely take the time to gently coax Louis through his transition. Although granted, he didn't get any coaching either. But he could have shown the same level of empathy that Claudia showed Madeline. And if I can go a little deeper, this is probably linked to why fledglings tend to hate their makers too. The circumstances around the ritual for making a vampire could have an impact on the on-going see-saw between love and hate that they end up having
Damn, I guess I'm gonna be the Armand enjoyer but the interpretation is that I do feel like Armand would go in there with an open mind to do it for Louis that's why he grilled Madeline so much because he was trying to find a reason a turning point like in the sewers his turning point was Louis bring up Claudia and saying to protect her even with his demise behind him. The same as when he called Lestat in the episode previously reciting what Lestst was saying until the I love you and he goes "uh" starting but ultimately cutting off the line. The 'fledgling will hate you over time' part of Armand not wanting to turn someone is from his maker it has been pounded and reinforced in him that he does manifest a mindnumbing repulsion to it. I do also beleive that both Louis and Armand do not understand Dom/sub relantionships they are Louis is doing it like highschooler who sees it from the outside "(like 50 shades of grey) and Armand goes about is as a child who was groomed into that kind of power dynamic by a fake 'daddy dom' on kik that makes them believe that taking abuse with not question is the role of a sub.
I agree. I don't think those two had a single conversation about expectations, consent, and boundaries when they jumped into this dynamic. Where exactly does Louis think Armand's boundaries are meant to lie? And Daniel in the present isn't helping. He reinforces the idea that Armand being the sub means he cannot say no to anything without betraying their dynamic. Looking back at Episode 5, I kind of think Armand asking Louis if he is asking him to do something as a partner or telling him as his dom is Armand's attempt to cleanly separate those dynamics for himself when he needs to. He has voiced his concerns and does not want to do something. He gives Louis the option to overwrite his decision as part of their dynamic, but he makes it very clear to both of them that he would do this for him in his role as Louise sub and not as his partner. Maybe he also wants to give up responsibility for the decision to Louis.
Also I think Louis’s present day anger towards Armand affected his retelling and portrayal of events in Paris this ep, his depiction of how he acted at several different parts were so harsh and resentful
Armand is a liar. I don't believe for a second Louis asked Armand to erase his memories. If anything, Armand is scrambling Louis' brain to keep Louis with his desperately lonely self.
Same, I mean surely they would have had a 'fail-safe' in case Louis remembered and wanted proof. Like having him write a letter to himself, or recording himself saying he asked to be rid of the memories. Idk, all we have is Armand's word, which is shaky at best.
I don’t even for a minute either. I can’t trust anything he says at this point and that sad.. because I think Armand is a tragic character (in the show now the books… that Armand can take a hike)
Louis has a history of running from his trauma. It's completely in character for him to ask Armand to erase those memories. He may have asked Armand to erase previous memories, probably ones that involve Claudias death. That's what triggered his suicide attempt in episode five. I definitely believe Louis asked him to do it.
Per your comment on why Armand and Louis don't have explicit sex scenes, let's keep in mind Armand is the one guiding this interview from, the shadows and would probably rather not share the details of his sex life with Daniel.
culture kitsch, I enjoy the way you do your reviews. You are so fair when talking about the characters without trashing them. You can articulate well, and you explain very well what’s going on in the episodes. You are the real lady!!
It's known amongst the Paris vampires that the Roget bankers does business with vampires, and they handle Lestats financial support for The Theatre de Vampire. That's why Armand told Louis to stay away from them, because it could lead the other vampires to Louis relationship with Lestat.
When Louis said he'd like a couple of months where she don't tear things down or fuck things up I was like, SIR IMMA NEED YOU TO REMOVE SOME OF THAT BASS OUT OF YOUR VOICE, because who are YOU talking to?? Like excuse me?? As if Claudia legit wasn't yelling at your ass for giving up your backstory the other week.
I think they want people to distrust Armand about asking wiping his mind cause his is an established manipulator but I also know that Louis runs from his emotions.
Well they didn't kill Lestat but they did kill Antoinette. I'm guessing that's how Louis gets off. If I'm remembering correctly it was Claudia who took Madeline out.
Great review! I think you have all their dynamics down pat! Madeline's turning was also one of my favorite parts, it was just so beautiful ❤️ I'm wondering if Lestat also got to see those life momenets in Louis when he turned him. Also! It was super interesting to me that even though they can't read minds, makers and fledlings can still "feel" each other like Louis being able to feel Madeleine at such a distance 😲 does that mean Lestat could always feel Louis and Claudia in NOLA? Like it gave me so many more questions! Lol
I think that you were mention wondering how they contacted Lestat. When they were talking about the different crimes that were being committed by the coven... they said something about "drunkards" hanging from the Eiffel Tower facing South/Southwest chanting something but when the authorities came, they did not see anyone. I think thats when they were reaching out to Lestat
Ehh... I don't know about that. Why would they need to hang from the Eifel Tower to contact Lestat? Better reception? I don't think that's how it works. They established through his banker that he hadn't had contact with them in almost ten years. They probably just used their ability to psychically contact other vampires.
Hey Bobbi, what's your opinion on the way the writers handled Madeline sleeping with a German soldier? Do you wish they did a different storyline completely or what could they have done to make it better? I think it is a questionable choice to pair the only Black female vampire with a possible n@zi sympathizer.
From what I understand, she’s not a sympathizer. Her storyline is based on the historical phenomenon of horizontal collaboration that happened during WWII. There’s some nuance to the whole situation and I can’t say it was totally ineffective at getting the audience to understand that Madeleine is a social pariah too. It’s complicated lol
@@culturekitsch Yeah... The show fleshes out the context a little, but maybe not as well as they should have. The first time Madeline talked about sleeping with the soldier for food and company, I thought her loneliness and sympathy for the young man made it make sense. Now that we have her story of the "chic" neighbor who starved to death, I remembered the life-or-death scenario she was in. That said, the optics are... unfortunate, to say the least! There ARE other "weird whyte ladies" in the sea, lol. The actors help make it okay for me. I still want them to beat the charges and run away together, somehow 🙏🏽😭At least give them a few decades of happiness, come on!!
@@Setsunako6587can you blame the people of Paris for hating her though? She (and women like her) were having sex with the same soldiers who were killing and starving her neighbors, while she received food and extra favors. That's why she brought it up as a way to show Armand that she already has shown a willingness to compromise her morals to survive. While her neighbors are being executed by the gestapo and literally starving to death, she's sleeping with the same people responsible for it. The mob assaulting her and shaving her hair was wrong, but painting a swastika on her window was probably appropriate.
Louis talking about how Madeleine saw Claudia in her memories, and how she would be a better companion to her than he ever could be, was like a father giving his daughter away on her wedding day. 😭😭😭
So true, and the first time he's being honest with himself about Claudia without it leading him to an emotional breakdown
@@cyanrose499 well sorta kinda, he DID bleed himself out post-turning madeline + claudia leaving, so yes hes being honest with himself........ but he does still have an emotional breakdown!
"Be a lady, Louis" He would love to but his man is in need of a Daddy 😭 Louis, born to be a housewife, forced to be the domineering husband
The revelation that when Madeline looks at Claudia she sees a bright smiling young woman in the sunlight made me tear up.
I feel so bad but the first time I watched it, I went "oohhhh...noooo...it's gonna be bright real soon...👀"
But yeah, the way Madeline is the only one who truly sees Claudia as happy being herself rather than assuming she'd be happy serving a role for themselves was heart warming

@@exist2rebel152then maybe Louis' crime would be coercion? Third-degree vampire child making?
The plan was his, is what I'm saying😅

Imagine going to jail for murdering Antoinette's nobody self...
They need to be serious! She was a vampire for what? 2 minutes? Ain't nobody give a f**k about that lady!
And really, it was self-defense 🤷🏽♀️
That charge needs to be DROPPED. Lestat didn’t even care she was gone
@@jijgigijiwapoThe audacity for them to even mention her, is an insult to us all.

😂 okay, but the roller set is innocent. In fact it's been doing a great job this season. Let's acquit at least the roller set.
