Claudia was never like Louis. Claudia was always more like Lestat. Which is why it interesting that we see her as "one of the good ones", right??? Because we always consider Louis as "one of the good ones" because he expresses "guilt" and "shame". But Claudia DOESN'T ever feel bad about her vampiric nature - just like Lestat. She was just as cruel with her kills. She was just as dramatic. She's excited about the theater and vampire pride. But we call her one of the good ones...and so does Louis. One of Lestat's frustrations was that he was shunned in their early relationship for all the things that Claudia was free to be in front of him. So, it all begs the question - is "good" ONLY defined by feeling guilt and shame???

Claudia never abused her "vampire companion" or other vampires though. She stood up to her abuser and worked hard to move on/break the cycle. That's why a lot of people like her. She's "good" by vampire standards. A lot of people hate Lestat because he abused Louis and Claudia. It's a pretty simple concept to grasp. And no one as far as I know thinks Louis as "one of the good ones" just because he feels guilt and shame, either.

We don't see Claudia getting "elaborate" with her kills to the extent that Lestat does. She feeds out of the necessity of an immortal teen appetite. She can be a bit playful or cruel, but Lestat will drag out his kills all night, degrading them, stripping them of their humanity first. Lestat comes off like a serial killer, and Claudia reads more as a predatory animal.

@malifex9922 Now I don't have a big preference for either of them but let's not forget Claudia kept some random half dead dude in her closet and had a serial killer phase where she was chopping parts off people and not even draining them (judging from the one scene where she was recording the dude's last words)

I swear Louis is on that battered wife syndrome mess, going back and back and back to Lestat in his mind wishing probably that he'd come back and be with him again despite the terrible abuse and cheating and lies. I feel like with all these breadcrumbs too, that Armand has made him forget somehow parts of his relationship with Lestat. He did tell him not to go sniffing around the lawyer and his past again and Louis had that whole confusing speech about his memory not being correct last episode. Something isn't adding up. Anyway, great react as usual!

@@cullenarthur8879 Clearly the series is not staying 100% going off book, so I'm focusing on that in this context. I mean if it were, Claudia would be 5 years old. So yes, Louis did agree to Claudia's plan to kill Lestat and in fact, he was the one to slit his throat. You're also missing a bit of my point, again, within the context of this series, that Louis says Armand is the love of his life, which doesn't add up considering as you say, the love of his life should be Lestat, which is why, again to my point, I believe Armand has somehow manipulated Louis's memories as he seems to also be doing with Malloy.

When I was watching this episode, I couldn't help but think something just didn't quite add up. Especially the looks from Armand, sometimes to Daniel. I get the sense Armand feels guilt about Daniel (and other things with Louis) and Louis is becoming cruel to him as he remembers more. Also I just plain feel bad for Daniel as he realizes Louis and Armand had many young men they enjoyed and toyed with during their relationship.

Claudia was changed as a child, so she had a child mind at the time when she first started to eat humans. Children are more susceptible to being manipulated and desensitized to things. The reason why it's not hard for her to kill and was always easy for her to was because she was raised to kill and eat people. Lestat also traumatized her as a young girl when he forced her to watch the boy she accidentally killed get burned. Her last bit of sanity and humanity was burned with him. So it's pretty realistic her attitude towards it and why it's taking louis so long was because he was an adult with his own morals and such.

@@Jadablovedogsnot just anyone is usually chosen to receive the "dark gift". Usually they are chosen because they have shown they can be vicious. Lestat chose Louis (in the show) after seeing him threaten his own brother with a sword cane. Lestats maker sensed when Lestat had faced down and killed a ravenous pack of wolves. Not always, but vampires are usually chosen because they had a killer instinct as humans. Not everyone is cut out to be one. Lestat misread Louis, so Louis became in his words "a despondent killer. A botched vampire."

@@Jadablovedogs I agree with the reason you give for Claudia being in essence a psychopath. She was raised to be a remorseless killer from a young age. But, if you think about it, she even had a pre vampire history that may have added to her lack of conscious. If you remember, she was basically abused as a child by her aunt and people she lived with. She even said she had a "funny uncle". She was not some average, well adjusted child who just happened to be made a vampire. She had issues before. That's one of the reasons I love this show. They casually add in background detail like that and you don't even realize it, but it makes it a even deeper story.

Yes he has a right to be frustrated at Louis giving half truths and filler information but Daniel mocked Louis pain from the beginning, that had nothing to do with him trying to get the truth; that him mocking and making fun of Louis mistakes and choices so he doesn't have to face his own. So I'm glad Louis getting his lick back this season. There is only so much disrespect you can take before you snap.
