So it turned out that the reason why Armand said that "You cannot script Lestat" is bc he LITERALLY tried to! 😂

[@dontsplitup]

Lol. Excellent point. It's funny that the one person to take Armand down was the same guy he tortured back in San Francisco in Malloy! How poetic!

[@googleuser7454]

I was so glad for Santiago to be gone. Especially when he mentioned how her ashes were defiled. Armand is such a snake omg. Daniel makes an awesome vamp tho and he probably saved his ass by bringing up that script 😂

[@dontsplitup]

Totally agree about Santiago. He definitely got his just desserts! But what a great villain, right? Loved that dude as a character. What you see is what you get. Malloy was did his thing. Stuck to his guns no matter what. Gotta respect that.

[@Noxofspades-lh7bj]

Great finale. I knew something was off with Armand!! But dang, he was a sidepiece for 77 years🤣 Give all the awards to the actors. That reunion. I teared up when Lestat asked "Did you hurt yourself."😢

[@dontsplitup]

I feel you on that reunion. Man, that was some heavy stuff. It's too bad their love is just too much for either to endure....at least together. Hell yeah, these actors deserve all the awards and same with the show runners!

[@Homoesper]

This series is truer to the books than it is to the movie. As a black Vampire Chronicles fan, I'm satisfied with the changes Rolin Jones and his team made. A lot of your questions will be answered in season 3. The soul of the Vampire Chronicles is the conflicting narratives of its large cast. This series expands on this by making other characters voices just as relevant as Lestat's. Things will make more sense when major players like Marius, Pandora, Maharet, Mekari, Cayman and Akasha come along to fill in all the blanks. The lore of this series is DEEP! I can't wait to see twists and changes made (like more characters of color) that Rolin Jones's team make to the intricate tapestry Anne Rice wove years ago.

[@dontsplitup]

Thanks for insight. I never realized the lore was so deep story-wise with even more interesting and pivotal characters to look forward to enjoying. I too can't wait to see more people of color included in these stories.

[@AcademyNS]

I am very glad to see Gabriel, Pandora, Bianca, Akasha and the twins coming in, because at this moment the show has killed off every. Single. Female. Character.

[@dontsplitup]

@@AcademyNS That's wild. I didn't even realize that. Yeah, I hope they show the ladies more love in the next season!

[@tjhouston1280]

Lol the vampire Lestat is next. And Louis and Lestat ain’t over 😫😫😫. They better not be! Love they toxic asses!

[@dontsplitup]

Amen to that. I wanna see more of that drama as well. lol!

[@ninetimesaday]

They are over for a while. They don’t get back together for many many years

[@dontsplitup]

@@ninetimesaday Really? I wonder if the series will get that far!

[@tjhouston1280]

@@ninetimesaday they do eventually tho

[@dontsplitup]

@@tjhouston1280 I would like to see that. Hope the show stays popular enough to get to that point!

[@pookiesis1465]

It was a “ If I can’t help Louis, then no one can” . That’s why I think he was planning on letting Louis die

[@dontsplitup]

Wow. Great assessment. Armand was definitely a prideful (and sensitive) guy as we saw. It makes sense!

[@IsisBlu]

This season was Magnificent ‼️

[@dontsplitup]

Amen my friend!

[@nevermindmyname813]

Louis reading Santiago to FILTH! I was like "Talk yo shit, BABYYYYY!!!"

[@boombasett6038]

SPECTACULAR SECOND SEASON !!! RIVITING AND THAT ENDING !!! WHEN HE SAID " I OWN THE NIGHT " BATMAN VIBES RIGHT THERE !!!

[@dontsplitup]

@@boombasett6038 Hell yeah. This season was siiick! I'm glad Louis was able to figure his stuff out. But yeah, that ending did have Batman vibes😜😜😜

[@heart756]

Daniel Was doing the Lord job! Real Rashid Too 😂😊 Armand never like him from the books nor the show Amazing Finale. I love the Lestat Mentioned he has Akasha and Magnus 🩸 Now Louis discovered Havjng Lestat, Armand, Akasha and Magnus he’s powerful too

[@dontsplitup]

Hell yeah. What a series! It would be cool to see Louis as a cameo in whatever direction the series goes.

[@heart756]

@@dontsplitup well the whole vampire world is against them Louis helped Daniel writing the book Lestat a lead singer telling his real identity They both know they’re ancient and powerful And here it comes Akasha 🎸🎸 For my understanding They will start filming season 3 during fall 🍂 season Can’t wait.

[@dontsplitup]

@@heart756 dayum. Things are about to get even more interesting. I'm here for it. Give me more!

[@Pandaland41]

I was really afraid the finale was going to make me feel left wanting more, but this was perfect, it was the ending I was looking for, no cliff hangers. I can peacefully, although inpatiently, wait for Season 3 😁

[@dontsplitup]

Agreed. This ending was very satisfying, at the same time I can't wait to see more of the lore from this franchise. We get to explore more characters and stories.

[@khalilcanady2012]

I'm not one for soap operas..... This was damn good!!! 🎉🎉

[@dontsplitup]

Same here. When a series is good.... it's just good ya know!!!!

[@mysteryfan28]

I think it's The Vampire Lestat for the third season (aka) book two of the vampire Chronicles

[@dontsplitup]

Makes sense. Whatever comes next, I trust it'll be as good as these last 2 seasons. And I'm here for it!

[@akaflint10]

I had reservations about Jacob Anderson as Louis, but he's an incredible actor and gave a very passionate performance in this series. You have to look at this series on its own merits (which are many)- it's not the book, it's not the movie, it's its own entity. I can't remember the last time I was eagerly waiting for the next episode of a series. A great season all around.

[@dontsplitup]

I cannot wait to check out the books. They're gonna be a fun read. This is THE show to watch. And I agree, I would count down the days until the next episode.

[@akaflint10]

@@dontsplitup They're doing 'The Vampire Lestat' next- if you haven't read it, you should- it's incredible, one of my favorite books, and some of Anne Rice's best writing.

[@akaflint10]

@@dontsplitup The books, ranked: 'Interview' and 'The Vampire Lestat'- the best of the series. Good: 'Blood and Gold', Queen of the Damned'. Just OK: 'Merrick' (pretty unmemorable, actually) 'Memnoc, the Devil' (takes about fifty pages to get going), 'Prince Lestat' (very uneven, some parts are very good, others read like bad fan fiction). Bad: 'The Tale of the Body Thief', 'Pandora' (reads like a draft for a novel) The worst: 'Blood Canticle' (Quite literally one of the worst books I've ever read- uneven pacing, clumsy dialog, unbelievable characters- avoid at all costs) Haven't read: 'Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis'.

[@dontsplitup]

@@akaflint10 Dayum. Thanks for the heads up. Got a lot of books to look forward to.

[@akaflint10]

@@dontsplitup A few more I forgot: 'Vittorio the Vampire'- A story set in Renaissance Italy, it falls into the Good category, and 'The Vampire Armand', which unfortunately introduces some of the most annoying characters in the whole series. Armand is more interesting when he's evil; this book elaborates on his backstory, it's just OK. Rice's writing ranges from incredible to sloppy, especially in her later books, where she seems to just be cranking them out without an editor.

[@Nurse808]

They're doing the vampire Lestat next

[@dontsplitup]

Everyone says that's the order of the books, so it makes sense and I can't wait!

[@naxbk0]

I just loved it! Daniel Malloy’s cynicism made it all make sense!! I only wish that Santiago’s death had been slowed down, such a perfect villain needed more screen time. I’ll be ordering Season 3, I hope AMC brings back the same writers for Lestat.

[@dontsplitup]

Malloy is the man! And I agree about Santiago. It would have been nice to have a longer sequence before he died. I got a feeling season 3 is gonna be just as good as the other 2. Can't wait!

[@whatadollslife]

this was well written ...it reminded me of the finale of Peaky Blinders ...answered questions but left lots of room for the future A++++++++

[@dontsplitup]

Never seen Peaky Blinders. But it's on my list of series to check out. This show has been well crafted up to this point and I can't wait for what comes next!

[@Zuvuyapoet]

Your commentary is far more critically thought out from many perspectives. Most don’t get that far in thought.

[@dontsplitup]

Wow, thank you. I really enjoy the show and just love to put in my 2 cents! I'm glad you enjoy it.

[@MargaretRosenbalm]

I have read the trilogy of books;Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, and Queen of the Damned. I, kind of, have an idea of how season three could look. Lestat would do anything to protect Louis. Lestat has to shift the angry vamps to focus on him instead of Louis. That would play very well for Lestat to become a rockstar from The Vampire Lestat.

[@dontsplitup]

The funny part is that sounds exactly like something Lestat would do. And I'm here for it. Love that idea!

[@MargaretRosenbalm]

@@dontsplitup you seriously need to consider reading or audio book the trilogy of books that I mentioned. Except for a few changes, like the time period and setting, they have kept to the nuances of the books.

[@dontsplitup]

@@MargaretRosenbalm I love it. And will do. I think I'll go all in and buy all three and just dive in.

[@MargaretRosenbalm]

@@dontsplitup I am in my 50s and I was around 14 years old in the early 80s when I read interview with the vampire. Most people don’t realize that it was written in the early 70s. I think I read the other two when I was an older teenager. If you haven’t seen the movie from the 90s with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, it’s worth watching. It follows the book. That way you can kind of get an understanding of how and why they changed things in the series. In the book, Claudia, was a very young child; about five or six years old. I think Claudia being 14 in the series, works better. It’s extremely difficult for a younger actress to portray cognitive aging. Kirsten Dunst was around 10 or 11 years old when she did the movie and, I think she’s the exception.

[@dontsplitup]

@@MargaretRosenbalm It's amazing how these stories are getting a nice dust off and being told in present time. It goes to show how great these books are and how they can still work and be entertaining. I agree that Kirsten Dunst was excellent in the Claudia role from the film. Maybe I'm a bit biased as well because I'm a sucker for great vampire stories. Really appreciate your recommendations, notes and insight.

[@nyashahardley]

Ben daniels is awesome but glad santiago is gone

[@dontsplitup]

I trust in these writers. If the first series is any indication to what we have to look forward to, then we've got some great stuff to look forward to!
