[@suzygirl1843]

​@mysweetperspective I hope people go back and watch The Passage 2019. It starred a black 12 year old vampire girl played by Saniyya Sidney and I was picturing her as Claudia trapped in a little girls body. The whole time, she is showcasing her chemistry with a 45 years old white man named Zack Morris. It deserved better ratings but it was on Fox.

In Madeline's mind, why would she join that vicious coven of people she didn't know, who would likely turn on her later. They are a fickle band of turncoats. Madeleine trusts Claudia and would go down in flames with her over joining that deceitful coven. Madeleine is loyal.

[@МиссВи-к3у]

I believe Lestat’s account on how Claudia was made and about the fight, but he also had to say things that were scripted. He just went off script several times. Notice the obvious discrepancy when he says he slept for 100 years, but we know he was present when Donizetti wrote Don Pasquale, so he could not have been asleep for 100 years.

[@tvaddict6623]

I said same thing! Agree 💯

[@nevermindmyname813]

I think the whole point is that everyone, for different reasons, is an unreliable narrator. I don't believe for one second that Louis was the one who hunted Lestat in the beginning and I don't believe that Lestat actually believes it either. Maybe that's how he justifies what he'd done to Louis, by saying that he freed him from a life of unacceptance with the dark gift. But they establish these lies right off the bat so that when it gets to the events of changing Claudia and the horrific fight, we're questioning everything.

Armand scrambled Louis' brain.

[@22cocaingenius]

The whole thing was armon's idea to get Louie to himself. He just used Santiago. Just like he used lestat to revamp the vampires. He killed 3 birds with one stone . 1 he gets a clean vet away from the theater. 2 he gets rid of Claudia. 3 he makes sure Louie hates lestat via Claudia's death so that doors closed forever. Armon the mastermind

[@Patti326]

Armand is lying, he is too manipulative everytime he speaks I rolled my eyes so hard. I can't wait for Louis smoking that coven pack 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@AJ-WuzHere]

Armond is doing the same thing he did when he met Lestat. Let the coven run a muck, then he can swoop in and have the one he wants. Last time tho, Lestat didn’t stay. Keep in mind Lestat said Nicky hurt himself but someone helped him do it and he looked at Armond… I think Armond messed with Nicky’s mind. Armand is jealous of Claudia, even though she was Louis’ daughter/sister, and he wanted her gone.

[@Princetta2009]

Armand is the oldest vampire who has crafted his dark gifts, Armand could've stop it but he didn't, Armand choose not to step in to save Claudia and Madeline; in his mind he knows for Louie Claudia would be his priority. Armand is stuck on stupid love with Louie who fell out of love with him, in my opinion. Armand could've stop it from the start, no he waited for the verdict for Louie to stop the crowd from saying the same sentence that Claudia and Madeline received. I'm glad Lastat saying if Louie being charged for breaking the vampire laws, put me in that same category. Great recap can't wait for next week, but sad at the same time I love this series so much.❤

[@mysweetperspective]

Thank you so much… and I know.. I’m like what am I gonna do with no Interview With The Vampire 😭

[@GhanimaCrimson]

Armand def still LYING. He conveniently saved his man tho lol

[@bradleyblake7588]

The sad, disgusting truth that Louis refuses to accept is that Armand wanted Claudia to die. He wasn't too weak to save 3. He just only ever wanted to save one. I honestly doubt that he felt anything at all as he watched them crumble to ash.

[@mysweetperspective]

💯

[@ShuShu4You]

I said the exact same thing. Armand never cared for Claudia. To him she was a living vampire sin and so was Madeleine and they needed to be done away with so he could have Louie to himself. I hate Armand so much!!

[@bradleyblake7588]

I agree, and I do too.

[@avogrid296]

Yeah, Louis said to imagine having him without the BURDEN of Claudia, and Armand was like... okay, yes, I can see it!

[@bradleyblake7588]

@avogrid296 You're definitely right. What I don't understand is why Louis and Daniel both aren't questioning him or acknowledging just how responsible for all of this Armand really was. Only 2 episodes ago, he literally froze an entire restaurant of people while simultaneously putting the entire coven to sleep over a simple argument. Then, in the last episode, he once again froze an entire restaurant full of people so that the trio could be kidnapped without witnesses. There is absolutely no reason he could not have done the exact same thing here and got them all out of there, even if he had to keep everyone frozen while they all healed. He can't say that is was because Sam was blocking him, because he could have easily taken him out, and he also can't say Lestat was too powerful, because he threw him around like a rag doll the first time he confronted him, and then took Nicky. There is only one legitimate answer as to why he didn't do the same thing here, and we all know what that is. He wanted Louis all to himself, which also still doesn't make sense because he was already about to get that. Madeline and Claudia were already planning to leave and go live their own life together. Claudia was no longer an obstacle between him and Louis being alone together. So why allow her to be killed when he knew that all that would do is completely destroy Louis forever? The fact that Louis can't acknowledge this obvious truth is just baffling to me. Armand must have him under some insane levels of mind control. If I were in this situation and someone facilitated the murder of someone I viewed as my child, it wouldn't matter who they were to me or what defense they came up with, they would have met a very miserable end right along with the rest of the coven when I took my revenge. The fact Louis has not only stayed with Armand, but still calls him "the love of my life," and Daniel hasn't mentioned anything about this massive plot hole yet doesn't make any logical sense. It's not like Daniel to refrain from voicing his opinions, and there is absolutely no possible way this isn't one of them. The only reason I can come up with is that Louis just doesn't care about her at all. She was right she never really mattered to them. She was only ever a prop in Louis life to make him feel better about himself and once she was gone he didn't even care enough to hold the one person who was truly responsible, accountable for his inactions. Louis sucks as a person.

[@BerusJ001]

Louis been so brainwashed by Armund that he don't even realize it. He be saying Armunds words straight from his mouth. Armund wanted Louis all to himself, and he knew if he let Claudia live, he would never fully have Louis to himself.

Even when Daniel tries to point it out - like when he says "so you saved louis but not her?" YES DANIEL!!! HE DIDN'T SAVE CLAUDIA BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO!! There's no way Armand is so powerful that he can make all the vampires in his coven "go to sleep" with one word but now he's suddenly afraid for his life??? yea right! Also I'm surprised that Daniel didn't call Armand out on his retelling on what happened between him, Lestat and Nicky. because in ep 3 he said that he picked armand over nicky and then left them both for america but that's not what lestat said this episode!!

[@kiryamathadison7291]

Claudia attempted to kill him because every time she attempted to leave Lestat hunted her down so what else is there to do. She didn't deserve what they did to her.

[@czest-d7f]

He hunted her down the one time. She left for 7 years and Lestat never hunted her down. He told Louis that she wasn't coming home. He pulled her off the train because Louis was deeply depressed when she was gone the first time - and he didn't want that to happen again. He even says that straight out to her. (He's very fragile, you can't do this to him again, if another terrible thing happened to you, he wouldn't ever forgive himself.) He was trying to control her - but NOT just for the sake of wanting to control someone. It was to keep Louis from spiralling further. Louis shouldn't have ever taken Claudia and forced her to be his redemption. Lestat told him flat out why it was a bad idea. Louis said he didn't care and Lestat screamed that he should care. Lestat advocated for Claudia to not be cursed to the darkness. He advocated for her to be treated like an adult when Louis wanted her to remain a child. He set in motion the events that led them to Paris (EVEN THOUGH HE WARNED THEM NOT TO GO) and her death - but he was also the one who advocated for her to get her last words on this earth. Her greatest enemy was her first and last advocate.

[@trao1938]

Sam Reid delivered an incredible performance. Whoa. From taunting to sarcasm to wrath to expressing genuine loss and regrets...Lestat /Reid commanded this episode.What's so breathtaking is that we've witnessed all these scenes play out before, from Louis' perspective. But when recounted from Lestat we realize a totally different interpretation of the same events that could very well be the truth. What's so heartbreaking is that we're watching this 'family' placed on trial and can't help feeling empathy for all three of them. Something I recognized was how Claudia is as much Lestat as she is Louis. Did anyone else detect a hint of pride coming from Lestat, in response to the way Claudia conducted herself during the trial- her resilience and refusal to grovel for mercy? Lestat wanted them 'to hurt,' but I believe even he hadn't expected to feel remorse at the outcome. Notice the way Lestat guiltily sank in his chair and lowered his head, as if suddenly regretting putting his deep, personal wounds on display for public entertainment. I am going to miss Claudia. But she finally got her wish, because someone finally 'chose' her. I LOVE all the detest you spew at Armand, lol. But Santiago is the sob whom I most want to see receiving a very slow and brutal comeuppance . Don't let me down, Louis!

[@dominiquedevereux7205]

I agree I said it in my comment

[@roderickgraham4949]

Armand had to do what he had to do in order to get out of a situation he was unhappy in. He had to use some people in order to get out of it in the process. He used LeStat, Louis, Madeleine, and Claudia in the process. He even used the coven, and they did not even see it coming. Armand was definitely making chess moves throughout the season and was and still is coming up with multiple moves that helps him win. Yes, he is one cunning individual. His cunning ways help him survive in the process. All I can say is Checkmate!

[@MMinerva07]

I don’t think he had to act as he did. He chose to manipulate perhaps because he enjoys the power play and it may be closer to how things were done during his original lifetime. He really is a powerful vampire. He could have been more direct and survived confrontation. In many ways he is the direct opposite of Lestat. You are right that he achieved all he wanted but at what cost for someone who wants so much.

[@jkidd1982]

Omg the return of Lestat! I'm bursting. Lestat can get any crowd on his side, he did stretch the truth, but it was still truth. I think Louis manipulated him as much as he did Louis. Lestat is more cunning, but Louis played on Lestat's love for him. And Claudia, no! Just when I started to like her, they took my girl out.

[@ljk242_]

The part of louis wanted lestat first and haunting him wasn't true, it was part of the coven script, because lestat was the first one who fell in love with louis just like in the book it was written that the reason why lestat fell in love with louis when he came to new orleans is because louis reminds him of nicki, the melancholy, the vibes

[@shan0997]

So you believe that Louis a BLACK GAY man in 1910 LOUISIANA, who was hiding his sexuality, pursued AND hunted Lestat- A WHITE VAMPIRE?! Showing up to wherever he was and insisting that Lestat make him his companion? Nah, girl that's a hard one for me to chew. I might be willing to bend on some of the other things Lestat claimed. But this is not one of them! Also, let's not ignore the fact that Lestat would've done almost anything to keep Louis from leaving him. So, yes, Louis may have begged him (and perhaps even threatened to leave him) in order to get him to turn Claudia. But the only person I think has the power to make Lestat do something he doesn't want to do is lying arse Armand.

[@mysweetperspective]

I believe that Louis' internal dialogue was something totally different than his outward confessions at the time. I believe he may have called out to Lestat in his mind. Was it an official "hunt" I don't think so, but something definitely called to Lestat imo.

[@ihavenonamep]

@@mysweetperspective You know when Lestat went off script, and that wasn’t part of it. A human hunting and pursuing a vampire? Lestat could have just killed him if some random human tried to hunt him. Lestat fell instantly in love with Louis when he saw him, this is canon in Lestat’s telling of meeting Louis in The Vampire Lestat. Besides, this is still the account of Lestat from Armand and Louis’ POV of the trial, not real Lestat.

[@mysweetperspective]

You don’t believe a human is capable of craving the dark gift or a vampire? I still believe something on Louis wanted Lestat as well 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@ihavenonamep]

@@mysweetperspective Louis wanted Lestat too, he just had to hide it since he was still closeted. But I don’t think he was hunting Lestat the way it was portrayed in the trial, as if Lestat was just reluctant. The trial was scripted. There were few breaks where he was telling the truth. And you could tell from Louis’ response during that portion that he was hurt by this retelling.

[@ThandoNdlovu-zr3ld]

For the longest time Louis didn't even believe Lestat was a vampire he thought his powers "Parlor Tricks" to go from not believing this power even exists to hunting Lestat, Nah Lestat is lying.

[@philipjay2099]

We have still yet to see "real" Lestat only Louis' or Armand's version of.... I bet Lestat pushed that "banishment" audience reply. Armand just claimed it to Louis. I still believe Armand had Lestat in the basement since Paris and we will get the real Vampire Lestat next week and all next season. Claudia best come back as a ghost. At least a Talamasca file on Daniel's laptop, listing everyone in the theater that day dying oddly over some period of time.....

[@Pandaland41]

I'm 100% down for a spinoff of Claudia coming back as a vengeful ghost lol

[@MLawrence1941]

I don't know if you've read the books but, if you haven't, here's a non context, not-propper-spoilery spoiler: Claudia does come back as a ghost to haunt Lesat and Louis. My favorite bit is when she comes back to taunt Lestat when he thinks he's dying of influenza.

[@dianayano4828]

Wow, perfect analysis! I, too, have despised Louie always being the "victim." For all his faults, Lestat loves purely and mourns loss of love deeply. Great episode, so well acted by all involved; love the cast -- so different in real life when interviewed. Looking forward to season finale. Anxiously awaiting Season Three... Great job on your insightful commentary.

[@sweetnovember7925]

I only believe lestat when he apologizes to louis and a little bit of the turning of claudia. Everything is a script he's reading from and i believe Armand is forcing him to do it. The racist undertones in this trial was so triggering. The way they were painting louis as the aggressive predator. Painting lestat as the victim and excusing his actions. Giving madeline a chance to survive meanwhile the 2 black people didn't even get a chance to defend themselves.

[@seanjames1600]

this version of Lestat is being told by Armand (at the end)...

[@pookiesis1465]

I think like in the book Armand knew Louis would never stop wanting Claudia, so he wanted her dead. He would have never tried to help Louis save her

[@drifter_d]

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. I don't believe Lestat is lying about the night he turned Claudia, definitely seems like something Louis would do. I'm iffy about the fight scene though. Louis probably did talk shit (we all saw episode 5), but I don't believe Louis got any licks in. I get the feeling Lestat is trying to downplay how one sided that beat-down was. That being said, the biggest liar of them all is Armand.

[@mysweetperspective]

amen to that!!

[@FortunaFavored]

If thats the case then why does Claudia/Louis’ perspective in season 1 have Lestat yelling the same thing which was “stay down, I don’t want to fight like this. I’m trying to restrain myself.” Season 1’s scene was from Claudia’s perspective and thats what we hear. Yet people take away what they want to.

[@drifter_d]

@@FortunaFavored I'm sure Louis TRIED to get up and fight back, but I doubt he was able to land a solid punch let alone leave Lestat bloodied like we see in this episode. The way Louis was being thrown around like a rag doll... Ain't no way 👀

[@ihavenonamep]

@@FortunaFavored Lestat let Louis attack him in that coffin room. He knew his own strength and warned him it would end in his death. I’m sure it happened still doesn’t take away from the fact that Lestat beat up Louis and dumped him from the sky.

[@keanueraine]

Yah, pretty sure Lestat was absolutely no where near as bloody as shown durring that fight. By then his regen powers would be almost wolverine level and he was definitely holding back. Like a small Italian woman could smack a big brute of a man around, even say break his nose, but when that brute realizes this bitch be crai crai time to fuck her up, it's over. (Sorry, not sorry, I know it's not very woke of me to say a ittyy bitty woman can't absolutely destroy a 300 pound man easily, cuz I know that's what the media wants to portray women now a days, but it's true, I'm ex military and I've seen male on female fight drills and when the dude just says fuck this shit Im not holding back like i was told too, the chick just gets wrecked). Lestat at this point could take this whole coven plus Claudia, Louis and Armand on at this stage. He's the one every1 should be worried about. Edit: spelling

Claudia is the most tragic character out of this vicious vampire cycle. As a human, she was rejected by everyone who was supposed to love and care for her and left to burn. She was then made a vampire out of desperation from Louis to replace his sister and for Lestat to not loose Louis. Then she was again rejected by Lestat who called her a mistake. Then once again relegated by Louis in choosing Armand. She was seen as nothing more than a pawn for the selfish desires of far more powerful people.

[@asteven8]

Loved the commentary. First off, I don’t trust Armand like at all. (Had to say that off jump) I keep wondering what was the choice. Could be a wild theory, but I think Armand knew how all of this was going to play out when he said: I made a choice. I highly doubt that the coven was going to just let him leave to be with Louis esp once they had the evidence from Claudia’s diary. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knew the coven reached out to Lestat. The choice was time with Louis. Make him love him. We saw earlier in the season, Armand manipulated Lestat into destroying his old coven by challenging their beliefs. Kidnapping Nicky was the bait to get him to do it. It’s the same concept except he used his coven to take out obstacles to Louis’ affection, manipulate the audience to banish Louis because he knew if they kill Claudia, Louis will take revenge. And voila! Armand gets other people to do his dirty work and he gets what he wanted.

[@mysweetperspective]

Thank you !!!! I agree Armand cannot be trusted and imo he is playing dumb.

[@asteven8]

@@mysweetperspective I’ll take it a step further…we can’t take the trial scene at face value either because Louis said, he was floating in and out of consciousness. Only person unharmed during the whole thing is Armand who likely “filled in the gaps” of what happened to Louis. 😒 So did it really play out like that? The way this show plays around with memory and unreliable narrators is 100% my jam.

Armand is selfish and he’s willing to do anything to secure the love he has with Loui, this includes sacrificing Claudia. I think his love for Loui has become obsession.

Claudia made two really great points, first she said they didn't know about any laws. That is true Lestast didn't tell Louis and Claudia much of anything and for the longest he didn't even tell them how he became a vampire. Two she said I poisoned him but he's right here, they never actually killed Lestat, so they were being tried for a crime they technically didn't commit. Also Lestat told them I made Claudia so you actually have to charge me too

[@Persephone_Personified]

Lestat’s rendition of those events was a lie…we can all go back and fact check what happened. However when he start talking about breaking Louis that was from his perspective

[@ambergerber5162]

The only way to fact check it is to go with Louis' account and he has been an unreliable narrator from the beginning. The way I look at it is ever story has 3 side, your side my side and somewhere in there is the truth. Daniel called him out on it early on with the contradictions in the same exact stories. Add Armand's little mind games and I don't think Louis even knows what the truth is anymore.

What's really heartbreaking about all of this is that you see that at the end of it all, this all happened because Louis is his own worst enemy. If Louis had just been able to truly accept who he was instead of constantly blaming everyone else around him for his own faults, & properly shown both Lestat & Claudia how much he loved them both instead of pitting them against each other, then maybe none of this would have happened. In the end i can't help but feel like Lestat & Claudia were both victims of Louis being unable to think about anyone's feelings but his own, & i feel terrible for both Lestat & Claudia, as well as Madeline.

Are we forgetting Louis is still telling this tale, we haven't seen the real Lestat this season. It is Louis seeing what "really" happened from what he projects would be Lestat's side. This Lestat has been tortured and glamored by Armand, he is unsteady physically but mostly psychologically broken. You will never know his version unless TVL tells it directly. 😮 And one thing the real Lestat would tell you is he loved Claudia " she was his dark child, his love, evil of his evil, Claudia broke my heart " Lestat de Lioncourt She will haunt he and Louis forever.

[@mysweetperspective]

Welp somewhere lies the truth, most likely between the lines. When Louis says to Daniel, put this version in the book. It called everything into question for me. I’m interested in knowing the unfettered truth, maybe one day we’ll see that.

Maybe he has been kept there even before trial (he's obviously there after, because Louis is there too in his vengeance-coat) and the coven manipulated him, not letting him eat? I dunno. I CRAVE for the cannon events from the books, and the main thing that bothers me right now is WHY TF THE TOWER IN DUBAI IS FALLING ON DANIEL'S HEAD?

This episode has done me deep seeded emotional damage.

[@sagesdream]

I think one of the things that makes the show and book series so fascinating is that it is unreliable in its narration so each story or perspective contains bias based off of what character is being betrayed at that time. The whole they are all monsters they are all manipulators is very true. They all have good and bad motivations behind the things they do. I don’t think any of them are innocent hundred percent. I think it is entirely possible that Armand originally wanted the downfall of Claudia, but later regretted it. I also have suspicions that he wanted to help, but I wasn’t sure if his power was being subdued by some of the other vampires present because there was very powerful vampires in that space. it really looked like he was putting a lot more effort on his facial expression to control the audience then he normally does. I also wonder if Lestat was helping Armand because he didn’t want Louis to die either. I think he came there with revenge in mind, but his emotions and love for Louis got the better of him. They could’ve had a secret thing going on in their minds that we don’t even know about.. I think they’re all going to team up in the end to get their revenge with Louis.

[@brittanymccrary6943]

I have to give it up to the writers. The way they reimagined yet held true to the details and essence of the book is so great. In the book, they both have a hand in making Claudia and tell her about it fairly early on- Louis who had not been drinking human blood, found her and drank first not even realizing what he was doing and then Lestat eventually turned her into a vampire. But the way the writers, held on to that until this episode with distortion of narrative, it made such a brilliant, emotional and heart wrenching moment……

[@TCatt86]

The one thing I don't believe is Lestat saying Louis was calling out for him. He wanted Louis bad and followed him to get him. All the other stuff, I believe. Their fight was vicious. But considering why they fought, I'm ok with Louis tearing Lestat's a$$ up. Lestat just got mad because he was bested and tried to take Louis out. I do wish we could learn more about how the coven figured out that Lestat was alive. But maybe it will be addressed in the last episode.

[@mysweetperspective]

I think Armand told the coven smh. I just don't trust Armand at all..

[@LovelyShae_Doll]

Remember when Armand threatened Claudia and she confronted Louis and he admitted that Armand always knew, I suspect that Armand is being controlled by Lestat....hmmm

There is no way in 🔥that Louis could win against Lestat in a fight if Lestat were actually trying to hurt him. He was barely even trying to fight back with a fraction of his power until he felt that he could never win Louis back.

Cuz his a$$ is PET'TY LABELLE & he was fearful that as long as Claudia still lived, Louis might leave him for her when times got bad for him & Lous, just the same way Louis was about to leave Lestat for Claudia.

Later when her diary was read (a few novels later) Claudia states how she despises both Lestat and Louis, and she wants to get away from them both.

[@ms.battle9055]

This was not Lestat point of view. It's coming from Louis and Armand Lestat isn't telling us anything. We been knew Lestat didn't want to turn Claudia but He did it for Louis. I think since you like Lestat you wanna believe he is a victim when Lestat and Armand is the same type of person. Claudia put herself in this situation. She has the body of a child but she is an adult and after Santiago found her writing in her diary she just kept them where they can be easily found plus she joined the coven on her own and swore to those vows.

[@mysweetperspective]

[@MTiger86]

People pointed out that the rocks that are filled in the coffin are the same ones in the garden in the Dubai apartment. Are Claudia's ashes part of the rocks/garden? And Claudia's vow of revenge, in The Vampire Lestat novel, Magnus tells Lestat that he must scatter the ashes of him or else he could come back, either as close to what he resembled or something horrible, but he would come back. And given that the Talamasca has been around for centuries, makes me wonder if they didn't gather Claudia's ashes. In the books, they had her diaries and I think the yellow dress in storage (and apparently a spy among the theater coven to have those nearly up close photos of the coven members that were given to Daniel). Mads and Claudia's ashes were shown on the stage. I half expected Santiago to have kicked them or them being shown swept away. So, given that there is someone in the theater coven working with the Talamasca, don't think it could be the end of Claudia. It could be, but she wasn't really a newborn vampire where the chance of coming back would be null. I'm thinking Marius is going to pop up in the season finale. They have mentioned him enough times, or will save his appearance for Lestat's seasons.

[@drdawnonthereal]

I don’t trust Armand, Lestat, or Louis. Remember the old adage that there’s your version, my version and the truth. How would Louis hunt Lestat and invade his thoughts, begging him to make him a vampire when Louis didn’t know he was one until the church. And just like a typical abuser, Lestat cried and talked about how he didn’t deserve the forgiveness Louis gave him after he intentionally broke him, but ran across the ocean with a quickness to see him and Claudia put to death. “Louis was mean to me. told me I’d be alone and wouldn’t give me any for seven years.”But Lestat wasn’t alone. He was laid up with Antoinette all that time and who knows how many other side pieces. Real talk. The only difference between Armand and Lestat is Armand is more subtle in his manipulation and abuse while Lestat is indeed a hurricane.

Love your takes, thanks Getting Lestat’s POV was great. I’m not sure how much it changed the core of Louis’s stories, so much as added to it. Louis had already admitted that Claudia was his redemption and he’d cursed her out of impure motives. Lestat’s POV just added depth to how far Louis was willing go to make her. Similarly, with the fight, Louis’s words about the head-cutting were harsh (after Lestat had strangled Claudia and hurled him into a fireplace, let’s not forget), but Lestat admits that it wasn’t the threat that triggered him, it was Louis’s making the decision to leave him. “to break something because you can’t own it” Before this episode, I’d always thought it tragic that Lestat went ballistic before Louis could make a choice. Now we see Louis was forced into making a choice and then Lestat broke him - literally rending him physically incapable of leaving. As to Claudia, I don’t buy Lestat’s predictions about her fate (or Armand’s). Claudia was fine - true, she had a rough few years but she climbed out of it, even apologized to Louis and Lestat, and had forged her own independent identity. Claudia’s problems stemmed from being kept prisoner by Lestat, then being forced to go on the run with a man she loved as a brother but who had chosen Lestat over her (now, to her death).

Of course he won't because Lestat still loves him...does Lestat "LET" him do it as punishment for letting the Theatre de Vampyre coven killing claudia.....does Armand tag team with Louis...even at this point Lestat should still win against both. Other musings, Lestat should have heard what Armand was doing to the crowd with banishment instead of death decree. There is no way in hell he did not hear/feel Armand doing that. Even Santiago and some of the other actors should have felt it. Louis was always weaker and beat up pretty good so I can buy him not feeling Armand's power over the crowd but Lestat would hear it like a freight train roaring through a railway crossing blasting its horn. Sorry I've read the books many times and understand Lestat and Louis and Claudia and the Lore in general. Also I get taking liberties with source material, just there is no way Louis is strong enough on his own even with Armand's blood to take on Lestat alone and win.
