Claudia being put first for the first time in her life only to die a mere few minutes later will never not be heartbreaking. Claudia and Madeleine better haunt everyone's ass. Pronto.
Armand recounting how Claudia died definitely has holes. He said her back was to the audience and Lestat was the last person she saw when in fact she was facing the audience, likely meaning that he was the last person she saw. 😔
@@emeralda.t And if they're going to include Armand's...ahem..."arts and crafts", we haven't heard about or seen **that** yet either. I wonder if that will be brought up in the last episode or maybe s3 somewhere. (Maybe even s4 if they make that the TVA season)
@@MxMelissa6 I believe she will. She threatened the audience and she fully meant it. The reaction to Delainey's Claudia has been too great for them not to use her again. If Lestat can haunt Louis as a way to include Sam in the season (and well done at that!), Claudia should come back in some way, even for an episode. Delainey's behind the scenes breakdown of Claudia's intent to return to seek revenge on the audience makes me think she may know she'll be back one day.
I love how despite Lestat being part of the trial, I see a small hint of him finding ways to irritate Santiago by either going off script or disagreeing with Santiago.
I don't think he tries to irritate Santiago. He is just acting like a superior. Someone who is above coven master. Its not personal, i think. He would act like that with anyone. He acted like thst with Armand in the past. He just does not recognize the authorities.
no but like lestat’s whole role here has me so intrigued especially because there’s a quick like 2 second shot near the end right before they open up the ceiling light where you can see lestat like swaying with a blank look on his face and i’m like. what does that mean? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!
If they are following the book (SPOILER AHEAD) lestat was starved and tortured by Armand to guarantee that he will do what it takes. So he's at the stage severely starved and having his mind controlled by Armand at times
@@adrinycouto1233 yeah, i'm a fan of the books so i know what happens. but i never know what they're going to change, and lestat isn't so obviously acting like that for most of it so who knows. i do love how sam gave us that little moment to stop and think like "is he _really_ fully willingly participating?"
@@adrinycouto1233🤔🤔🤔 so Armand and Santiago 😮are doing the controlling? I’m more curious about Sam now also?!? Like really he is going to “hold Armand back” by standing there? Something is not right here.
@@adrinycouto1233which book is this in? I read them years ago but can't remember this. I'm rereading them now but only halfway through The Vampire Lestat
@@adrinycouto1233Thank you for the spoiler! I kept seeing people say there’s a reason and they wouldn’t spoil it and I was going feral trying to find out why lol
in lestat's defense, he's INCREDIBLY weak right now. i genuinely don't think there's much he could do here to help louis and claudia. just look at the way he's swaying and blacking out during the trial in those wide shots. i think there's some mind control going on here (alongside the fact that he's obviously still not healed and could reeeeaallllyyy use some ancient blood to sip on right now)
He managed to save Louis but they were definitely controlling him when Claudia was going to be burned. You can see him wobbling and swaying in the background. Poor Lestat. My favourite fictional character. Sam is perfection in the role.
@kayjayhayI agree. I think so many people are grasping to try and make Lestat seems like he was trying to save everyone. I don’t think so. I think the only thing he cared about was not letting Louis die. I don’t think he understood how much he cared for Claudia until she passed away. And that is part of why he has also felt such immense guilt for years.
why would he need to guard Armand now that Armand knows Louis won’t be put to death. The only thing that’s was keeping him in that cell not trying to freeze the whole room was Louis's safety. If he had tried that banishment thing on Claudia? Santaiago damn well would’ve took him out of that room and Louis would’ve been put to death.
@@spiritsage3921 It's more likely that they had an agreement with Santiago. Santiago gets The Show and becomes coven master. Armand gets Louis who hates Lestat for Claudia death. Claudia is a collateral damage + everyone agrees that she is unstable, she lied to the coven = she is dangerous.
in s1 Lestat was able to hypnotise all the soldiers who he had invited to their house to leave the party with ease and in S2 armand literally stopped time and made the entire coven "fall asleep" with one word. Armand is clearly older and stronger than lestat and all the other vampires in the coven therefore armand could've very easily prevented this whole trial but especially claudia/ madeline's deaths but he didn't and instead created an arrangement that would finally get rid of claudia and villainize lestat enough in louis' eyes that he would be Armand's alone. Kill 2 birds with one stone and have Louis all to himself. It's all bullshit and I dont believe Armand one bit!
in lestat's defense, although he WAS able to do that in s1, he's INCREDIBLY weak right now, and i don't believe would have that power at this point in time. i genuinely don't think there's much he could do here to help louis and claudia. just look at the way he's swaying and blacking out during the trial in those wide shots. i think there's some mind control going on here (alongside the fact that he's obviously still not healed and could reeeeaallllyyy use some ancient blood to sip on right now)
@@techi4584 same!! I think Armand might be torturing him mentally the way the rest of the coven is torturing Louis and Claudia as well! I definitely feel like lestat was forced into this and the only time we see his true self is when he goes off script. Also I don’t believe anything after Louis was taken away lol Armand is so obviously shady I can’t believe louis can’t see it even after 70 years 💀 it took Daniel DAYS to figure out he’s full of shit
@shivanijoshi9252 being psychically suppressed on top of presumably being imprisoned, tortured and starved for I suspect years. He stood no chance unfortunately
Ah yes the janitor can stop the 500 year old leader of the coven vampire with pyrotechnic powers and who controlled all of them at a dinner at once That makes complete sense I believe you Armand 🙄
Okay so while this ep was agony for us all and we all love to say the show was designed to hurt us as a personal attack I am LITERALLY the lion zookeeper at Audubon so everyone is valid but this ep was truly designed to hurt ME SPECIFICALLY (but love and share your pain, Autumn, thank you for the catharsis, love your vids SO MUCH!!)
This episode broke my heart in so many ways, Autumn. It's the fact that Louis is 100% a victim but also has some responsiblility as well because he is also a manipulative vampire and an unreliable narrator too. It doesn't excuse anything Lestat did because nothing will, but it explains why Louis forgives him over and over and still loves him. They're vampires, they are going to say and do horrible things to each other and forgive each other for a thousand years. Otherwise they would have nobody and be bored all the time. I liked that Lestat took responsibility for the drop and apologized. It is different for Claudia than it is Louis though, so I don't think she'd ever forgive him. It also breaks my heart that Claudia finallly had someone pick her and then she died. It was never about her, like she said, because Louis and Lestat were never going to love her like they love each other but Clauida finally had the Louis to her Lestat, and it was even healtier than theirs, but she didn't get to keep it. :( F THESE VAMPIRES. The rocks that they put in Louis's coffin look like the same ones from his little zen garden in Dubai. Reminded me of 1x01 when Daniel asked Louis where his coffin was and Louis said "you're standing in it" so... uh, are we still in that coffin, Louis? Is it self imposed because you're trying to unalive yourself? Or is someone else buried under those rocks? IDK, I have too many questions and theories!! Lastly, I just want to give a shoutout to the JAM REIDERSON chemistry because even though there hasn't been that much interaction betweeen them compared to season one, for obvious reasons, it's somehow more intense and still like watching a bomb go off. Though, I know Jacob has chemistry with everyone and would have it with a brick wall, so I'm not saying it's not there with Assad. Jam is just my favorite. I am a loustat person. Bye, Autumn, sorry this got so long.❤
uhmmm, i think the zen tree is there to control Louis's anger/rage...when Claudia was killed/murdered by the coven, his fire gift magnified and became uncontrollable...that's why Ragland said "it's not Armand you should fear, it's the other one"...
I share your theory that Lestat helped save Louis and Armand had choices remember. I think Lestat was more heartbroken than he thought he would be, which is kind of sad and poetic. He actually loved her. He realized in the end.
@@EmeraldRoseDragon he never liked her imo. He took every opportunity to degrade her treat her like a child especially after finding out their secret. He might have started to feel a little bad because of his developing relationship with Louis but I think he has these vampire laws very much ingrained in him. He tried to warn Louis multiple times get the hell out of Paris but Louis wouldn’t listen he thought he would get his way by trying to be a dominant to Armand.
@@spiritsage3921 I really feel like that was him laid the foundation for the coven to take the blame. Armand said he fought the coven when he went to Louis after Madeleine's turning but they stayed instead of leaving. Really feels like he'd push Louis to leave after that if he really felt in danger.
@@EmeraldRoseDragon I’m curious to learn more about what ‘choices’ he made leaving cause it’s very intentionally vague right now. I’m so torn cause I don’t think it would be anything so bad that Louis would forgive him.
@@EmeraldRoseDragon as far as Lestat and Claudias relationship there was a thin line between love and hate for each other but I think after she died I think he realized he loved her more than he thought he did.
58:20 - THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID ON TUMBLR! If Arnand wasn't a selfish ass and teamed up with Lestat instead of trying to sabotage him, THEY COULD HAVE TAKEN THE WHOLE COVEN OUT TOGETHER EASY. But nooooo. He wouldn't want that. He wants Louis to hate Lestat.
@@AutumnBottomBrown missed you autumn, your videos make me happy (and sometimes depressed but let's not talk about that). Keep up the good work. You're my idol fr, I'm seriously thinking of starting like a podcast or some form of content creation to do with the vampire chronicles because of you.
Every week, this show is an emotional nuke directed right to the heart. It's the most brilliantly written and performed TV show on the air right now. I send hugs over Claudia's death! We as the fandom mourn her all over again. There's one more episode for the season - and you know Louis will make them PAY.
I hope we see Lestat's POV during the trial especially when he was staring at Claudia. Not sure if I was just mishearing but I think Claudia said Uncle Les before she turned ash
I think the reason they put Claudia in the rat box was BECAUSE she was part of the coven. Yeah, they had a problem with Louis, but he was a lone vampire, not in the coven. Claudia had taken an oath when she joined the coven, and she broke them. That probably is cause for worse punishment in their eyes. She should have never joined that coven and left with Louis when he asked her to.
Autumn, firstly, my thanks and appreciation for your family's contribution to your intro segment. I think that bit of levity before this episode was needed. Secondly, I just have to say Ben's performance as L'Advocat Santiago was pure brilliant pantomime. With Sam and Ben playing off well as dualing divas (Move over Carlotta and Christine! - Phantom reference.), there was great performances all round! When Anne wrote this book while still experiencing the near grief of losing her daughter, she wanted her readers to experience that profound loss as well. I think it may have also helped bring Stan & Anne closer together. There's a startling statistic that 3/4 of marriages will end in divorce or experience marital difficulty when one of their children (in this case, only child at the time). Anne was raised Catholic so I don't think it would end in divorce but if she hadn't written down what she was feeling, Stan might've found it harder to connect with her. The writers did a phenomenal job with this in 2 short seasons. Great reaction, Autumn, thank you! For those who have read the books, we look forward to the final episode this season with righteous indignation. Thank goodness, there's a season 3. I just hope we don't have to wait till 2026 to see it.
So happy that you're back!!!This episode was just amazing! and it was such an emotional wreck (very painful to watch too, Madeleine choosing Claudia made me cry so much). I have not been okay!! since watching it. But..The season 3 announcement cheered me up a bit ! Very excited for that. ❤
I genuinely almost started crying in the airport thinking about the episode; got me fucked up real bad. Glad I can share the trauma with everyone else now!!
Madeleine didn’t deserve that at all. She just loved claudia. And she was scared. “Are we in trial” she’s had an hard life, was on trial after the war, and continuously punished for being a human in a war time. It’s so sad.
I think Lestat tried to save her in the last moment but was stopped - and Armand is withholding that - making it sound like Lestat coldheartedly watched Claudia burn.
Lestat was being controlled by the coven too. You can see him swaying and wobbling in the background just before they open the sun on Claudia as if they were subduing him so he couldn't help
Plus, if he was quoting laws, he would've had to admit there were vampires back in France where he came from. Which I'm pretty sure he said there weren't any (aside from revenants). I think?
@@NicoleM_radiantbabyno, he never denied there being vampires in Europe. In fact, he told them more than once that they were vicious, "a society of monsters", and that they would tear Claudia to strips. He never went into detail because he wanted to shield Louis and Claudia from them, but he definitely told them they existed, and that they were monsters.
You know, after watching this again and fully realizing this is from Louie's altered perspective and when we get the actual memory we see Lestat pushing until he bleeds to save Louie makes me think he might have tried for Claudia too and pulled back like ooo this is really hard. If i save her. I wont have anything left to save Louie with. And as Claudia said, she was never put first by either of them. He chose to pull back and save his full effort for Louie. He wasnt at full strength and was visibly unwell to me. Previously i thought it was mental stress, i forgot how weak he was after the attempted murder. Armand would have been stronger than him as would some of the other theater vampires who were older. Man now i need to reread the Vampire Lestat and watch the show again! 😭
I've been rewatching a lot after the finale too and I 100% believe Armand communicates telepathically with Lestat throughout the trial to keep him in line. Maybe Lestat did try to save Claudia, and ironically, it was Armand who prevented him. Or like you say, he realized how hard it was, and had to make a choice between saving Claudia or Louis. Sadly, the choice was clear. Also, at the end, when Claudia and Madeleine are on the center of the stage, there's a shot where, just for one second, you can see Lestat clearly freaked out by what is about to happen. He didn't wanna be there. I can't wait for his pov on the trial, I'm sure it's gonna tell a very different story.
@chelisey13 he looked utterly destroyed as he watched Claudia burn, especially when she looked at him. And on stage during the trial he was purposefully facing forward for most of it. He looked so uncomfortable. I never thought about Armand messing with him from the audience but he could have. How else could they have kept Lestat that in line with everything? Now, i have to watch it again 😁
I should’ve gone to the doctor for the whiplash I suffered when Real Rashid and Lestat were in the same shot! How much has Louis seen Lestat through the whole show? What is going on!?
YAY!! Been waiting on this since watching the episode because the whole experience isn’t complete until you drop your reaction to it 😉. I absolutely love beautiful ass Armand but omg after this episode I am filled with so many mixed emotions ahhh I can’t take it!!! As always I thoroughly enjoyed this and can’t wait for your interview with Sam!
i got up and threw my tissue box at the wall and then screamed at it for 20 minutes after this episode ended, you are a trooper shout out to you for keeping it together as well as you did.
when lestat appeared in present day dubai, i almost lost my mind. this show just threw the narrative in the audience's faces and asked, 'are you sure that we're getting an objective point of view here?' and then when i saw the playwright sam guarding armand, i almost laughed - surely we're not to believe that he could stop armand at all, and then to see him helping to put louis in the coffin at the same time? suspicion. i don't think this episode will ever not make me cry. i was sniffling along with you at the end. this was a fantastic episode and i'm glad to share the trauma with you. and i am waiting in anticipation for your interview with the vampire, because once this season is over, i am hibernating until season three.
We DID miss you this week!! I was thinking about you as I watched Sunday’s episode. It was just too much to handle…..only one more to go, and season 3 confirmed. Best week eva!!!!
I missed you guys too!! I genuinely considered skipping the trip so I could keep a consistent schedule, but I needed a trip to the ocean like a Victorian Lady for some refreshing sea air after the trial episode
This is the episode where I REALLY understood how unreliable the entire story we’ve gotten from louis so far might be. I don’t necessarily believe lestat in the trial either (especially it being louis and Armand’s recollection of lestats recollection of what happened) but it made question everything we’ve been told since season one. Tbh the perspective I believe most in all this is Claudia’s journals and even that could be iffy bc how many teenagers have a skewed view of their parents? I think hers are likely the most true but it’s still probably wrong in some places.
@@plutopepsi578 and honestly I love that there’s no one definitive version because that’s how real life is. We all interpret events differently and that colors our stories. I’ve also enjoyed seeing all your comments roll in in the past 24 hours 😁😁
I saw the notification earlier and could not watch straight away, but legit got home and audibly went "it's Autumn Brown time"! Thank you for your reviews!
Your family 💜 The kids were so great 😂 So excited for Sampire!!! You're asking the right questions and pointing out the inconsistencies! We know how it happens in the books but here... Let's just hope we survive! A wonderful but hard season. At least we officially have our S3 to celebrate 🤘🏼🙌🏼🎉
I think Lestat's penance for creating Claudia was participating in the trial. Also, he knew that Louis' life was in serious danger, and though he probably couldn't save Claudia, he could save Louis.
When we see Sam's guarding Armand, we also see (especially in the first shot of him there) that he's holding scythe. The coven is also slow a few times to silence outbursts from Claudia and Louis and Lestat going off-script. What if Armand's achilles tendons were also cut, so he'd be slow enough Sam really could behead him with that scythe? What if the coven was also doing mental battle on Armand? When we see Lestat in S1 make all the soldiers leave the home, he gets a nose bleed. Armand is stronger, but this is a larger building with many more people with heightened emotions. It's believable he couldn't pull the banishment hypnosis trick enough to save all three of them. And if he let Claudia live but not Madeline, Claudia really would throw herself into a fire like Armand told Madeline she eventually would, and that might have been even worse for Louis's mental health. If this happened, would you forgive Armand? I do.
Masterful episode…I think we are going to see Armand tell the TVA version of events. The fact he tried to reanimate Claudia will cause Louis to capitulate and leave for good. There has been foreshadowing with him asking the question what if she had a woman’s body…The preview seems to go there too.
Lol I’m not gonna lie; there not a lot of analysis going on in this one- mainly just heartbreak and tears and questioning “why god why”, but I can’t wait to hear from you when you’re off work!
The amount of crying that I’ve done over this episode and over your reaction is so wild…didn’t think I had so many tears to shed …perspective is the key word for this episode. The way I went from loving and hating Louis, Lestat, and even Armand…😵 Claudia deserved so much more than this tragic end. She was right, “Fuck these vampires!” Also….SAM REID!!!!!! I will not survive that video…
@@MxMelissa6she went from loving their "vampire pride", saying she never wanted to hunt alone again, and telling Louis to mind his business when he warned her they were dangerous, to "fuck these vampires". Maybe she should have listened to Lestat and Louis in the first place.
Valid points. Claudia is a flawed character, much like the rest of the vampires in this universe. Should she have listened to the warnings? Yup! But it can be hard to see the reality when feeling the elation of being a part of community.
8:31 At first I was wondering why everyone was so shocked and worried about this I was like she's a vampire and they're rats she can handle herself She could probably even have a decent meal But I guess it would be kind of scary and gross
I'll be back to comment on the episode but I skipped to the end to see who it was and I almost spit-taked my coffee. AHHHH LITTLE BABY SAM. 🥰🥳☺🥺 I am 1000% into women but I have eyes and a little bit of gender envy and his voice is so deep it vibrated my soul. I now know why Jacob is obsessed with him. How are you not a puddle on the floor? I know, you're a pro by now, but still!!!!! SAMMMMM. Okay. Okay. I'm going to watch the rest of the video now. Sorry for being embarrassing. Will happen again!
Oh trust me, it took all of my willpower to keep my atoms from dissipating when he said my “do you think that’s really necessary, AUTUMN”; him saying my name was an addition on his part and that alone nearly killed me.
😢 the special VFX or CGI or whatever thing they threw in there to have the scene where we can see Claudia & Madeline got burnt, roasted, and turned to ashes is so well done! Watching the entire scene of it happened on screen is actually heart breaking 💔
@princessmiaxo What I mean is that they meant to make it seem like Louis was the one that created Claudia but he and Claudia can still speak with each other, when Lestat couldn't. I was confused.
I hope Claudia took a good look in the eyes of Louis and Lestat too whilst she was busy threatening to kill everyone in the audience even from beyond the grave, because they are the catalyst of every single slight, abuse, and pain she has endured. While Lestat is busy sobbing to Louis...did either of them even look in her direction and apologize to her? Madeline? Truer words were never spoken as when she said, I've just been a shingle on your roof top.
Now... I wonder if they'll weave anything about what Armand says he really did after Louis was taken away in his book. I doubt it, but that would be great.
I have been waiting for this reaction all week, and you post this 5 mins before my hour break ends, lol😂. Now I'm gonna be tortured for the next five hours waiting to get home and watch 😢
i need someone to know that i was watching this, sobbing and heaving along with autumn when my new employer suddenly called me to welcome me to the company... i am really just hoping he thought i was very happy to get the job, i did not sound okay lordddd
LFG your reaction is the one i was waiting on the most 🙌, i can't wait for next week's episode i wanna see Louis turn all these vampires into Kentucky Fried Chicken extra crispy it's gonna be glorious 😂
@@AutumnBottomBrown honestly good it’s needed, people are saying Jenna please stfu up about this show and I say NO I will be coming to your house and making you watch it on Netflix with me!
43:51 I don't believe for a second that Claudia chose to sing that song that she died because why would she I think it's another obvious false memory or manipulation of the facts by Armand
yep! I don't understand why some people don't understand that. I have seen a few comments that say they can't believe she would sing that song while dying, but it seems obvious to me. She was like "you thought this was cute before, watch me sing it while I burn to death."
The way I went from revisiting the utter heartbreak of that trial to losing my mind over the prospect of Therapist Sam IN A HEARTBEAT!! 💔 ❤🩹 Great watch, as usual, Autumn!
26:11 From this perspective I blame lestat a little bit for Antoinette At the time it seemed like classic abuser narcissistic tactics But after a while he Andy Louie didn't have an actual marriage They just lived together in hatred
Oh yeah, as much shade and vitriol I throw at Antoinette at the end of the day, she is also a tragic character who didn’t have enough self worth to leave what was clearly a terrible relationship. She still pisses me off though because I’m petty lol
@@Nicholas_is_my_name ah, gotcha I do feel for him in his affair with her and I guess we don’t know the full details of his continued affair but the fact that he kept her around after he’s back with Louis irks me. But who knows! There might be more to explore there!
My predictions for episode eight I think all of this is going to really trigger Louis in the present day as well as it did in the past and he’s gonna snap in Dubai and that can cause a lot of problems for the three of them. Daniel could get hurt which could be why he gets if he does. I just have this feeling that Armand is gonna have to save him again. More than likely if that is the case, they will reunite as a result. Louis is definitely more than likely going to go back to New Orleans just like in the book.
why did Louis make me feel like I was watching a Jordan Peele movie? Also, the way he spoke reminded me weirdly of how his own mother used to speak to him. The same tone and cadence. Just me?
i love how the editors are leaning into the idea that even the SHOW is a story that’s been distorted by retelling
Every element is just sublime, WHY ISNT EVERYONE WATCHING IT!!!
Claudia being put first for the first time in her life only to die a mere few minutes later will never not be heartbreaking. Claudia and Madeleine better haunt everyone's ass. Pronto.
DONT GET ME STARTED IM GONNA START CRYING AGAIN
Armand recounting how Claudia died definitely has holes. He said her back was to the audience and Lestat was the last person she saw when in fact she was facing the audience, likely meaning that he was the last person she saw. 😔
GHOST Claudia better be coming!!
@@emeralda.t And if they're going to include Armand's...ahem..."arts and crafts", we haven't heard about or seen **that** yet either.
I wonder if that will be brought up in the last episode or maybe s3 somewhere. (Maybe even s4 if they make that the TVA season)
@@MxMelissa6 I believe she will. She threatened the audience and she fully meant it. The reaction to Delainey's Claudia has been too great for them not to use her again. If Lestat can haunt Louis as a way to include Sam in the season (and well done at that!), Claudia should come back in some way, even for an episode. Delainey's behind the scenes breakdown of Claudia's intent to return to seek revenge on the audience makes me think she may know she'll be back one day.
"I will not harm you." (BUT I WILL BE APART OF THE REASON YOUR DAUGHTER WAS KILLED.) "I protect louis happiness.".. .. ARMAND! GET TF-
I love how despite Lestat being part of the trial, I see a small hint of him finding ways to irritate Santiago by either going off script or disagreeing with Santiago.

Lord, these actors....such stunning work from everyone. This episode ripped my heart from my chest, chucked it a blender, and hit "puree."
They will be trading Emmy’s like Pokémon cards if I have my way
But, we did know Claudia was going to die. I think what actually made it so hard was Delainey’s performance. When she looked at Lestat? Heartbreaking.

idk maybe Thee Vampire Sam is just that powerful, ye with little faith dont know how dreadful Sam is

why would he need to guard Armand now that Armand knows Louis won’t be put to death. The only thing that’s was keeping him in that cell not trying to freeze the whole room was Louis's safety.

@@blaquestar yep it could only be gotten away with once.
@@spiritsage3921 It's more likely that they had an agreement with Santiago.
Santiago gets The Show and becomes coven master. Armand gets Louis who hates Lestat for Claudia death. Claudia is a collateral damage + everyone agrees that she is unstable, she lied to the coven = she is dangerous.
I rewatched episode for maybe 4 times now, and I'm still flipp off my screen every time Armand opens his moth
Lmao and I’m an Armand lover!!! But that love has officially been tested and cracks have been found!!
in s1 Lestat was able to hypnotise all the soldiers who he had invited to their house to leave the party with ease and in S2 armand literally stopped time and made the entire coven "fall asleep" with one word. Armand is clearly older and stronger than lestat and all the other vampires in the coven therefore armand could've very easily prevented this whole trial but especially claudia/ madeline's deaths but he didn't and instead created an arrangement that would finally get rid of claudia and villainize lestat enough in louis' eyes that he would be Armand's alone. Kill 2 birds with one stone and have Louis all to himself. It's all bullshit and I dont believe Armand one bit!
in lestat's defense, although he WAS able to do that in s1, he's INCREDIBLY weak right now, and i don't believe would have that power at this point in time. i genuinely don't think there's much he could do here to help louis and claudia. just look at the way he's swaying and blacking out during the trial in those wide shots. i think there's some mind control going on here (alongside the fact that he's obviously still not healed and could reeeeaallllyyy use some ancient blood to sip on right now)
@@techi4584 same!! I think Armand might be torturing him mentally the way the rest of the coven is torturing Louis and Claudia as well! I definitely feel like lestat was forced into this and the only time we see his true self is when he goes off script. Also I don’t believe anything after Louis was taken away lol Armand is so obviously shady I can’t believe louis can’t see it even after 70 years 💀 it took Daniel DAYS to figure out he’s full of shit
Armand was in the box, or maybe the director’s chair? Don’t trust him! Lestat was proud of his daughter’s courage which slowly turned into horror.
@shivanijoshi9252 being psychically suppressed on top of presumably being imprisoned, tortured and starved for I suspect years. He stood no chance unfortunately
@@janicedrew9782fr, the writer and director next to each other? Sus
"Stay down Cherie! I don't want to fight like this!" makes me ill
Ah yes the janitor can stop the 500 year old leader of the coven vampire with pyrotechnic powers and who controlled all of them at a dinner at once
That makes complete sense
I believe you Armand
🙄
Oh yeah, and Armand couldn't hear even ONE of Claudia and Madeleine's words to each other???
... Sure Jan
@@psychedelicpegasus7587Roxane said it was them declaring their love for each other
HOLDING WHAT WAS PROBABLY JUST A PROP-SCYTHE TOO! Yeah, I don't buy Armand in this case...
It's frustrating, He was the strongest , why didn't he and Louis just leave Paris???it literally makes no sense...
@@DarioDenny because he needed to destroy Claudia in a way that Louis wouldn't blame him
Okay so while this ep was agony for us all and we all love to say the show was designed to hurt us as a personal attack I am LITERALLY the lion zookeeper at Audubon so everyone is valid but this ep was truly designed to hurt ME SPECIFICALLY (but love and share your pain, Autumn, thank you for the catharsis, love your vids SO MUCH!!)
Omg did you get chills when Louis said that??
@@venusworship truly absolutely lost my damn mind
@@AnyoneWestofBree I can’t imagine enduring that horribly tense scene to end on THAT, you’re having a truly unique and tailored fan experience
That's really cool!
This episode broke my heart in so many ways, Autumn. It's the fact that Louis is 100% a victim but also has some responsiblility as well because he is also a manipulative vampire and an unreliable narrator too. It doesn't excuse anything Lestat did because nothing will, but it explains why Louis forgives him over and over and still loves him. They're vampires, they are going to say and do horrible things to each other and forgive each other for a thousand years. Otherwise they would have nobody and be bored all the time. I liked that Lestat took responsibility for the drop and apologized. It is different for Claudia than it is Louis though, so I don't think she'd ever forgive him.
It also breaks my heart that Claudia finallly had someone pick her and then she died. It was never about her, like she said, because Louis and Lestat were never going to love her like they love each other but Clauida finally had the Louis to her Lestat, and it was even healtier than theirs, but she didn't get to keep it. :( F THESE VAMPIRES.
The rocks that they put in Louis's coffin look like the same ones from his little zen garden in Dubai. Reminded me of 1x01 when Daniel asked Louis where his coffin was and Louis said "you're standing in it" so... uh, are we still in that coffin, Louis? Is it self imposed because you're trying to unalive yourself? Or is someone else buried under those rocks? IDK, I have too many questions and theories!!
Lastly, I just want to give a shoutout to the JAM REIDERSON chemistry because even though there hasn't been that much interaction betweeen them compared to season one, for obvious reasons, it's somehow more intense and still like watching a bomb go off. Though, I know Jacob has chemistry with everyone and would have it with a brick wall, so I'm not saying it's not there with Assad. Jam is just my favorite. I am a loustat person.
Bye, Autumn, sorry this got so long.❤
Ohhh the rocks 🪨 😮 good eye! I wonder about those now 🤔
Love your comment!
Especially about the zen garden- that one hurts.
uhmmm, i think the zen tree is there to control Louis's anger/rage...when Claudia was killed/murdered by the coven, his fire gift magnified and became uncontrollable...that's why Ragland said "it's not Armand you should fear, it's the other one"...
Interesting theory there 🤔
I share your theory that Lestat helped save Louis and Armand had choices remember. I think Lestat was more heartbroken than he thought he would be, which is kind of sad and poetic. He actually loved her. He realized in the end.
He said he had choices, which I highly doubt. Lestat always loved Claudia he just got to the point he didn't really like her
@@EmeraldRoseDragon he never liked her imo. He took every opportunity to degrade her treat her like a child especially after finding out their secret. He might have started to feel a little bad because of his developing relationship with Louis but I think he has these vampire laws very much ingrained in him. He tried to warn Louis multiple times get the hell out of Paris but Louis wouldn’t listen he thought he would get his way by trying to be a dominant to Armand.
@@spiritsage3921 I really feel like that was him laid the foundation for the coven to take the blame. Armand said he fought the coven when he went to Louis after Madeleine's turning but they stayed instead of leaving. Really feels like he'd push Louis to leave after that if he really felt in danger.
@@EmeraldRoseDragon I’m curious to learn more about what ‘choices’ he made leaving cause it’s very intentionally vague right now. I’m so torn cause I don’t think it would be anything so bad that Louis would forgive him.
@@EmeraldRoseDragon as far as Lestat and Claudias relationship there was a thin line between love and hate for each other but I think after she died I think he realized he loved her more than he thought he did.
“I’m gonna choke you out like you did to our daughter” was actually 100% fair. No idea if it was real but honestly I’d be with louis on that one.
AUTUUMN!!!!! THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT!!!!!! SAMMM!!!!!!! OMFGGG HE WAS SO DELICIOUSLY SCARY!! the voice.. i cant rip
58:20 - THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID ON TUMBLR! If Arnand wasn't a selfish ass and teamed up with Lestat instead of trying to sabotage him, THEY COULD HAVE TAKEN THE WHOLE COVEN OUT TOGETHER EASY. But nooooo. He wouldn't want that. He wants Louis to hate Lestat.
Never clicked on a video faster, so happy you're back
Hey girl heyyyyyy 👋👋
@@AutumnBottomBrown missed you autumn, your videos make me happy (and sometimes depressed but let's not talk about that). Keep up the good work. You're my idol fr, I'm seriously thinking of starting like a podcast or some form of content creation to do with the vampire chronicles because of you.
Every week, this show is an emotional nuke directed right to the heart. It's the most brilliantly written and performed TV show on the air right now. I send hugs over Claudia's death! We as the fandom mourn her all over again. There's one more episode for the season - and you know Louis will make them PAY.
8:03
Thank you for being the only one picked up on the
"I'm talking now"
This was the one time where I was like “yeah, Daniel time to stfu and listen”
new autumn video on the day I've had my dissertation presentation and officially finished college??? HELL YEAH BEST TREAT EVER
TAKING A SHOT FOR YOU NOW; CONGRATS!!!
@@AutumnBottomBrown i need you to know that your videos along with the episodes kept me going during this insane time TYSM🩷
congrats...you are now part of the PHisheD club...
Congratulations!!
@@KTBEverlasting thank you🩷🩷
I hope we see Lestat's POV during the trial especially when he was staring at Claudia. Not sure if I was just mishearing but I think Claudia said Uncle Les before she turned ash
I think the reason they put Claudia in the rat box was BECAUSE she was part of the coven. Yeah, they had a problem with Louis, but he was a lone vampire, not in the coven. Claudia had taken an oath when she joined the coven, and she broke them. That probably is cause for worse punishment in their eyes. She should have never joined that coven and left with Louis when he asked her to.
This show needs awards all around.
Autumn, firstly, my thanks and appreciation for your family's contribution to your intro segment. I think that bit of levity before this episode was needed.
Secondly, I just have to say Ben's performance as L'Advocat Santiago was pure brilliant pantomime. With Sam and Ben playing off well as dualing divas (Move over Carlotta and Christine! - Phantom reference.), there was great performances all round!
When Anne wrote this book while still experiencing the near grief of losing her daughter, she wanted her readers to experience that profound loss as well. I think it may have also helped bring Stan & Anne closer together. There's a startling statistic that 3/4 of marriages will end in divorce or experience marital difficulty when one of their children (in this case, only child at the time). Anne was raised Catholic so I don't think it would end in divorce but if she hadn't written down what she was feeling, Stan might've found it harder to connect with her.
The writers did a phenomenal job with this in 2 short seasons.
Great reaction, Autumn, thank you! For those who have read the books, we look forward to the final episode this season with righteous indignation.
Thank goodness, there's a season 3. I just hope we don't have to wait till 2026 to see it.
So happy that you're back!!!This episode was just amazing! and it was such an emotional wreck (very painful to watch too, Madeleine choosing Claudia made me cry so much). I have not been okay!! since watching it. But..The season 3 announcement cheered me up a bit ! Very excited for that. ❤
I genuinely almost started crying in the airport thinking about the episode; got me fucked up real bad. Glad I can share the trauma with everyone else now!!
FINALLY!!!!! YES!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DROP ALL WEEK 🥹🥹🥹
Your wayward saint has returned!!!
@@AutumnBottomBrownyaya 🎉
These videos make my day and help me procrastinate and I love it
I was FUCKED UP after this episode. BUT YAYY SEASON 3!!!🎉🎊🥳🤩
There’s one more episode before season 3, Louie seeks revenge. Season 3 apparently will be on Lestat
I am so happy for you! I can’t wait to see the interview with Sam. I know you’re going to kill it!
I really roll my eyes when Armand talks about others molding Louis to suit themselves like he hasn't done the same. 🙄😬
Madeleine didn’t deserve that at all. She just loved claudia. And she was scared. “Are we in trial” she’s had an hard life, was on trial after the war, and continuously punished for being a human in a war time. It’s so sad.
I think Lestat tried to save her in the last moment but was stopped - and Armand is withholding that - making it sound like Lestat coldheartedly watched Claudia burn.
That's my thought too
Lestat was being controlled by the coven too. You can see him swaying and wobbling in the background just before they open the sun on Claudia as if they were subduing him so he couldn't help
@@IndieRockerHippy We got explanation for this in the finale episode. No spoilers but there was other reason for his sudden illness.
@@oyami4444 I've watched it. What explanation do you mean?
@@IndieRockerHippy He was swaying because a minute ago he mindcontrolled the crowd. His ears were bleeding after that.
I was waiting for this reaction above all others.
🥰🥰🥰
There are several moments when Lestat was out of it. He looked like he was under the Covens control. The apology was the real Lestat breaking through
Ain't no way Lestat was quoting the laws. That rulebreaker? Nah!
Plus, if he was quoting laws, he would've had to admit there were vampires back in France where he came from. Which I'm pretty sure he said there weren't any (aside from revenants). I think?
@@NicoleM_radiantbabyno, he never denied there being vampires in Europe. In fact, he told them more than once that they were vicious, "a society of monsters", and that they would tear Claudia to strips. He never went into detail because he wanted to shield Louis and Claudia from them, but he definitely told them they existed, and that they were monsters.
Look at the faces of Lestat and Madleine at 33:13. He spoke to Madeleine telepathically and made her ask if they were on trial.
You know, after watching this again and fully realizing this is from Louie's altered perspective and when we get the actual memory we see Lestat pushing until he bleeds to save Louie makes me think he might have tried for Claudia too and pulled back like ooo this is really hard. If i save her. I wont have anything left to save Louie with. And as Claudia said, she was never put first by either of them. He chose to pull back and save his full effort for Louie. He wasnt at full strength and was visibly unwell to me. Previously i thought it was mental stress, i forgot how weak he was after the attempted murder. Armand would have been stronger than him as would some of the other theater vampires who were older. Man now i need to reread the Vampire Lestat and watch the show again! 😭
I've been rewatching a lot after the finale too and I 100% believe Armand communicates telepathically with Lestat throughout the trial to keep him in line. Maybe Lestat did try to save Claudia, and ironically, it was Armand who prevented him. Or like you say, he realized how hard it was, and had to make a choice between saving Claudia or Louis. Sadly, the choice was clear.
Also, at the end, when Claudia and Madeleine are on the center of the stage, there's a shot where, just for one second, you can see Lestat clearly freaked out by what is about to happen. He didn't wanna be there. I can't wait for his pov on the trial, I'm sure it's gonna tell a very different story.
@chelisey13 he looked utterly destroyed as he watched Claudia burn, especially when she looked at him. And on stage during the trial he was purposefully facing forward for most of it. He looked so uncomfortable. I never thought about Armand messing with him from the audience but he could have. How else could they have kept Lestat that in line with everything? Now, i have to watch it again 😁
I cried at the end too. I think Armand is behind all this. Thanks for the beautiful reaction. Santé🥂
Fascinating to see so much alternate pov I LOVE the unreliable narration
I should’ve gone to the doctor for the whiplash I suffered when Real Rashid and Lestat were in the same shot! How much has Louis seen Lestat through the whole show? What is going on!?
RIGHT???? SIRENS BLARING, FIRES BEING STRUCK, BABIES CRYING
the way i gasped and threw my phone when sam appeared at the end 😭😭😭 can’t wait i love your videos so much
I would have excused the “punishments” for this episode. I fully expected my heart to be ripped out and thrown on the floor.
Omg!!! How are you securing these interviews!
YAY!! Been waiting on this since watching the episode because the whole experience isn’t complete until you drop your reaction to it 😉. I absolutely love beautiful ass Armand but omg after this episode I am filled with so many mixed emotions ahhh I can’t take it!!! As always I thoroughly enjoyed this and can’t wait for your interview with Sam!
i got up and threw my tissue box at the wall and then screamed at it for 20 minutes after this episode ended, you are a trooper shout out to you for keeping it together as well as you did.
when lestat appeared in present day dubai, i almost lost my mind. this show just threw the narrative in the audience's faces and asked, 'are you sure that we're getting an objective point of view here?' and then when i saw the playwright sam guarding armand, i almost laughed - surely we're not to believe that he could stop armand at all, and then to see him helping to put louis in the coffin at the same time? suspicion. i don't think this episode will ever not make me cry. i was sniffling along with you at the end. this was a fantastic episode and i'm glad to share the trauma with you. and i am waiting in anticipation for your interview with the vampire, because once this season is over, i am hibernating until season three.
LOLoh my heavens I keep watching Sam on repeat saying... "of course... do you really believe thatʻs necessary AUTUMN?" Iʻm dying literally 🤭🤤🥵
We DID miss you this week!! I was thinking about you as I watched Sunday’s episode. It was just too much to handle…..only one more to go, and season 3 confirmed. Best week eva!!!!
I missed you guys too!! I genuinely considered skipping the trip so I could keep a consistent schedule, but I needed a trip to the ocean like a Victorian Lady for some refreshing sea air after the trial episode
I've been waiting for your reaction all week. I like viewing the show with you.
Clicked so fast. Been waiting for your video 😊
I’m here!!!
This episode DESERVED your tears. Can't wait for some vengeance next week!
This is the episode where I REALLY understood how unreliable the entire story we’ve gotten from louis so far might be. I don’t necessarily believe lestat in the trial either (especially it being louis and Armand’s recollection of lestats recollection of what happened) but it made question everything we’ve been told since season one. Tbh the perspective I believe most in all this is Claudia’s journals and even that could be iffy bc how many teenagers have a skewed view of their parents? I think hers are likely the most true but it’s still probably wrong in some places.
@@plutopepsi578 and honestly I love that there’s no one definitive version because that’s how real life is. We all interpret events differently and that colors our stories. I’ve also enjoyed seeing all your comments roll in in the past 24 hours 😁😁
@@AutumnBottomBrown had to take a small break for sleep and work but now I can at least finish the reactions 🫡
I saw the notification earlier and could not watch straight away, but legit got home and audibly went "it's Autumn Brown time"! Thank you for your reviews!
Ahhhh!!! Guuurrrllll! No you did not interview him?!!! SLAYYYYY!!!!!
Your family 💜 The kids were so great 😂 So excited for Sampire!!!
You're asking the right questions and pointing out the inconsistencies! We know how it happens in the books but here... Let's just hope we survive! A wonderful but hard season. At least we officially have our S3 to celebrate 🤘🏼🙌🏼🎉
🎉🎉🎉 yes for season 3
I think Lestat's penance for creating Claudia was participating in the trial. Also, he knew that Louis' life was in serious danger, and though he probably couldn't save Claudia, he could save Louis.
Yeah, vampire Sam would be the one ultimate obstacle on Armands way. Cause vampire Sam is the ancient most powerful vampire in the theatre, right?
I was just thinking this very thought! 😮
Maybe he's secretly Marius? IDK...it's all very strange...
When we see Sam's guarding Armand, we also see (especially in the first shot of him there) that he's holding scythe. The coven is also slow a few times to silence outbursts from Claudia and Louis and Lestat going off-script.
What if Armand's achilles tendons were also cut, so he'd be slow enough Sam really could behead him with that scythe? What if the coven was also doing mental battle on Armand?
When we see Lestat in S1 make all the soldiers leave the home, he gets a nose bleed. Armand is stronger, but this is a larger building with many more people with heightened emotions. It's believable he couldn't pull the banishment hypnosis trick enough to save all three of them. And if he let Claudia live but not Madeline, Claudia really would throw herself into a fire like Armand told Madeline she eventually would, and that might have been even worse for Louis's mental health.
If this happened, would you forgive Armand? I do.
Masterful episode…I think we are going to see Armand tell the TVA version of events. The fact he tried to reanimate Claudia will cause Louis to capitulate and leave for good. There has been foreshadowing with him asking the question what if she had a woman’s body…The preview seems to go there too.
OMG why did this drop while I’m at work!!! Can’t WAIT for this gut wrenching analysis but I’m also NOT ready…..😢
Lol I’m not gonna lie; there not a lot of analysis going on in this one- mainly just heartbreak and tears and questioning “why god why”, but I can’t wait to hear from you when you’re off work!
The amount of crying that I’ve done over this episode and over your reaction is so wild…didn’t think I had so many tears to shed …perspective is the key word for this episode. The way I went from loving and hating Louis, Lestat, and even Armand…😵 Claudia deserved so much more than this tragic end. She was right, “Fuck these vampires!”
Also….SAM REID!!!!!! I will not survive that video…
@@MxMelissa6she went from loving their "vampire pride", saying she never wanted to hunt alone again, and telling Louis to mind his business when he warned her they were dangerous, to "fuck these vampires". Maybe she should have listened to Lestat and Louis in the first place.
Valid points. Claudia is a flawed character, much like the rest of the vampires in this universe. Should she have listened to the warnings? Yup! But it can be hard to see the reality when feeling the elation of being a part of community.
The family comments about "Aunt Autumn ." 😅😅😅😅 and no Wi-Fi signal. 😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😅😅
I’m surrounded by stars honestly
His voice alone clear all my mental illness
8:31
At first I was wondering why everyone was so shocked and worried about this
I was like
she's a vampire and they're rats she can handle herself
She could probably even have a decent meal
But I guess it would be kind of scary and gross
Probably the visceral disgust of being trapped and overrun by rats
I'll be back to comment on the episode but I skipped to the end to see who it was and I almost spit-taked my coffee. AHHHH LITTLE BABY SAM. 🥰🥳☺🥺 I am 1000% into women but I have eyes and a little bit of gender envy and his voice is so deep it vibrated my soul. I now know why Jacob is obsessed with him. How are you not a puddle on the floor? I know, you're a pro by now, but still!!!!! SAMMMMM. Okay. Okay. I'm going to watch the rest of the video now. Sorry for being embarrassing. Will happen again!
Oh trust me, it took all of my willpower to keep my atoms from dissipating when he said my “do you think that’s really necessary, AUTUMN”; him saying my name was an addition on his part and that alone nearly killed me.

😢 the special VFX or CGI or whatever thing they threw in there to have the scene where we can see Claudia & Madeline got burnt, roasted, and turned to ashes is so well done! Watching the entire scene of it happened on screen is actually heart breaking 💔
This episode finally resolved the question for me of why Lestat couldn't read Claudia's thoughts but Louis could.
@princessmiaxo What I mean is that they meant to make it seem like Louis was the one that created Claudia but he and Claudia can still speak with each other, when Lestat couldn't. I was confused.
@princessmiaxo I probably wasn't keen on it. The scene when Louis begs Lestat to do it for him was more revealing for me than it probably should have.
I hope Claudia took a good look in the eyes of Louis and Lestat too whilst she was busy threatening to kill everyone in the audience even from beyond the grave, because they are the catalyst of every single slight, abuse, and pain she has endured. While Lestat is busy sobbing to Louis...did either of them even look in her direction and apologize to her? Madeline? Truer words were never spoken as when she said, I've just been a shingle on your roof top.

I doubt it, but that would be great.

I’m just keeping with the theme of unending heartbreak and torture from this episode
'The projections went off sync'. Weird how Armand describes it as if it was a technical failure or something and not on purpose...

Louis face when Lestat said Louis was hunting him was hilarious and if someone hurt my kid I'd probably snap too
43:51
I don't believe for a second that Claudia chose to sing that song that she died because why would she
I think it's another obvious false memory or manipulation of the facts by Armand
Or maybe it was Claudia’s way of giving All of them the finger …🖕
I saw that as a last ‘fuck you’ to the audience, making them watch their favorite actress and ‘little girl’ be burned alive
yep! I don't understand why some people don't understand that. I have seen a few comments that say they can't believe she would sing that song while dying, but it seems obvious to me. She was like "you thought this was cute before, watch me sing it while I burn to death."
This episode was so sad, but season 3 is confirmed! Everytime I want to cry remembering this episode I think about that instead!
@Autumn Brown where you been girl!!! I had to watch this episode alone. But I’ve been waiting for I’m watching it again!!!!
The way I went from revisiting the utter heartbreak of that trial to losing my mind over the prospect of Therapist Sam IN A HEARTBEAT!! 💔 ❤🩹 Great watch, as usual, Autumn!
26:11
From this perspective I blame lestat a little bit for Antoinette
At the time it seemed like classic abuser narcissistic tactics
But after a while he Andy Louie didn't have an actual marriage
They just lived together in hatred
Oh yeah, as much shade and vitriol I throw at Antoinette at the end of the day, she is also a tragic character who didn’t have enough self worth to leave what was clearly a terrible relationship. She still pisses me off though because I’m petty lol
@@AutumnBottomBrown there was a typo here I meant to say I blame lestat a little bit LESS than I did before
@@Nicholas_is_my_name ah, gotcha I do feel for him in his affair with her and I guess we don’t know the full details of his continued affair but the fact that he kept her around after he’s back with Louis irks me. But who knows! There might be more to explore there!
My predictions for episode eight I think all of this is going to really trigger Louis in the present day as well as it did in the past and he’s gonna snap in Dubai and that can cause a lot of problems for the three of them. Daniel could get hurt which could be why he gets if he does. I just have this feeling that Armand is gonna have to save him again. More than likely if that is the case, they will reunite as a result. Louis is definitely more than likely going to go back to New Orleans just like in the book.
omg sam next? please be jacob in the finale, please!!!
why did Louis make me feel like I was watching a Jordan Peele movie?
Also, the way he spoke reminded me weirdly of how his own mother used to speak to him. The same tone and cadence. Just me?
