you asked why the sun doesn't harm Armand: he answers that question in S1E7! "As we age, the sun loses its power over us. What's a mediocre star to a 514 year old vampire?" The oldest and strongest vampires only get a tan from standing out in the sun.
wtf this show deserves EMMYS!
First season and again. Anti-horror sentiment from voters, genre bias.
@@HuntingVioletsthat is true but amc is doing such a bad job at promoting this show, i think this show could arguably be big as shows such as bridgerton if amc promoted it more!!! it is such a strong, well-rounded show that is getting no recognition because amc is putting it out there!! i’ve seen more fans promote this show than the streaming service it’s on!! 😭😭
I feel like when it comes to the show everybody is just a villain to each other.
That's an astute comment.
I’m so glad you loved it. And the actor that plays Armand literally made the character come to life. It’s accounts like yours that need to spread the word on how fantastic this show is
I think Akasha is the chaotic strong vamp you're looking for and I do believe she's coming 💅🏼
There are different reasons that make a vamp stronger/weaker such as maker, age, vamps and beings they drank from, number of fledglings... And let's just say Lestat has been around 😂😂😂 But the timeline is different from the books though, we just don't know exactly how. I love this series so much 💜
This episode was a 10. The writing, the acting, everything was absolutely delicious and perfect. Assad was and is a dream. I felt so much pain and hurt and jealousy from him. He played Armand to what I think is shear perfection. This is definitely one of my top 3 favorite TV episode/moments.
This is by far the best episode by far.
Daniel isn't a vampire bc he would have to be drained close to death then drink the blood of the vampire who drained him. And FYI Lestat is the strongest vampire bc he drank Akasha's blood. Before that she was the strongest. She was depicted in the movie Queen of the Damned by Aliyah.
Actually the twins Maharette and Makere are the strongest because they beheaded Akasha and ate her brain and heart. Lestat is what the other vamps considered the brat prince because he consumed some of Akasha's blood.
@@lorrainecouch6352There is something else that happens later on that makes him the strongest but no spoilers.
@@PLLittleMama2007 it's been awhile since I've read the books. I know there was more to what made Lestat the strongest. Makes me want to read the books again.
Akasha is the strongest at the point in time that the show is at now. The twins are the strongest later. There are many other vampires that drank from Akasha. Some that drank from her over and over, for years. So let's just say he is one of the strongest.
Not the strongest. By the end of the series, he is one of thr strongest but Louis is near as strong but doesn't use his powers like that. Lestat, Louis, and some Ancients that haven't come forward yet.
Armand creeps me out at times and scares me in a way that i vant explain but hes the same level of scary in the books and thats where i am coming from Assad did a top notch job portraying armand and he is terrifying lol louis is scary at times becoming unstable and lashing out but we love that lol
Lestat drinks from the queen mother Akasha and gets stronger, but also suffers because it's a.... non consensual relationship, to say the least. Lestat's maker was also quite powerful and an alchemist. By the end of the Chronicles, he powers up but I won't spoil it for you. As for the books, the writers went for some easter eggs and some characters' traits or plots were transferred to one character to another (it was Lestat who hunted evil people, Lestat was dropped from a tower and broke his bones... by Armand for refusing to love him). So yeah things are muddled and we don't know where this is going.
Older vampires can tolerate the sun, and the fact that Armand had the blood of a 2,000 year old vampire in his veins makes him strong.
As CZcamsr @ihaveadatetonight puts it, "Nobody's a hero, everyone's a victim" in this show. I wouldn't call Armand a bad person, exactly, because at this point, he's barely a person at all. At least, he's been so screwed over for several centuries straight that he doesn't know how to be one, and he cannot tell right from wrong. He certainly doesn't have an identity of his own. He's whatever his obsession seems to want him to be. This episode, the quietly enraged, pathetic, feral child torturing Daniel, sincerely seeking to learn how to mimic behavior others find fascinating, a hungry, empty vessel, was the first time you've seen the real Armand. And I love him so much.
Also, Lestat isn't stronger than Armand just yet. Things happen in a few books.
I thought, in the books, Lestat drank from Akasha before he met/made a life with Louis? AND he met her while hanging out w/her “keeper”, Marius…Armand’s maker!! That would make Lestat definitely more powerful than Armand. Btw…Armand is a bastard. He makes me sick.
@@KayeAL4realactually you are right about lestat
Well, consider that Armand was first a slave, then a child prostitute, then the servant/protege/child bride to Marius, who "loved" him but also passed him around for his friends to rape. Then he was kidnapped by a cult and tortured and brainwashed by them. He has no experience of equal relationships. He's had no experience in which his identity isn't defined by relationship to someone else.
the argument between louis and armand was assad zaman’s first scene as armand which is crazy impressive
I am on team therapy. Armand is high key my favorite after Claudia but everyone is literally a villain to each other. Some may think Armand is the worst but he is just a damaged abused person who has also been in a cycle of abuse, same with Louis, Claudia, and Lestat they are just mirrors of each others pain
Can you imagine being a psychiatrist and having Armand as your patient? You'd need your own therapy for yourself.
Lestat is the strongest. Much stronger than Armand even though he is older. Sometimes it's luck of the draw. Later, he does drink from Akasha, the Queen of vampires. There is actually 15 books in total.
Somebody been doing their homework. 👍
I won't spoil you, but the strongest vampire is supposed to be the Queen of the Damned, Akasha. Lestat eventually becomes one after he gains power from a lot of way older vampires.
About the series, yes, we're still on Interview with the Vampire. But this series is adaptation of the Vampire Chronicles as whole, so they bring elements or sub-plots from later books into this. Like, the Armand flashback in episode 3 is an adaptation of the novels The Vampire Lestat and The Vampire Armand. A part of Louis ' plot here is taken from Merrick.
In order to become a vampire they take your blood and then you take theirs.
Lestat, Armand and Louis are all insane and complex and villains in the others story in a way. But I love them all, understand them all. Stan Claudia and Daniel as well.
Armand is an ancient vampire, 500+ years old. He said in season 1 that as the vampires age, the sun loses its power over them. "What's a mediocre star compared to a 514 year old vampire?"
I find it so crazy that Louie was so angry at Lestat for the way he killed, and we see him doing the same thing! Playing around with his food!
If Lestat would have just let Louie explore the world like he wanted to, without the huge fight, their relationship would be so much better.
I still kind of want them to get back together, because Armand is not it. I agree with Louie, he’s boring…. Although he’s a scary weirdo. Lol
It wasn’t about exploring the World it was about not returning to Paris. Also Lestat is hiding in New Orleans for a reason. I can’t wait until we get Lestat’s POV.
@@PLLittleMama2007 That's true, but he also doesn't want Louis to leave, period. He wants to keep him by his side for himself, not just to protect him. He'd have protected him better if he'd told him WHY he didn't want him to go to Paris. He could have circumvented everything that befell them, if he'd simply been forthcoming.
I agree. Lestat was right in being protective but he might have overdone it. Maybe if Lestat had just told Louis the truth about the Paris coven things would have turned out different
I would give this epsiode a 10, Armand and Louie toxic toxic toxic, Louie is never satisfied and Armand will never be number 1, I can see both sides but I understand Armand position more, I truly enjoy the show. Armand gave up everything and he has is Louie, but where it co-dependance is heavy.
I am praying this show doesn’t get cancelled, this last episode is my favorite of the season FOR SURE!
Babies, Armand was the centuries old rebound!!! Never loved him. He just was the if you can't over it, get under him.
Amond said before as Vampires age the sun has less effect on them
Lestat is old, not the oldest, but pretty old. And he consumes the blood of more ancient and powerful vampires. Among other things. That's why he's considered the strongest in the books. All this hasn't happened yet in the series.
"Everybody" doesn't include me. I DON'T like Lestat. I like watching Lestat, of course, but I don't like his personality. I find him fatuous and facile. He's charming, as narcissistic people tend to be, but I don't find arrogance endearing. I'm put off by the peacocking types. I'm more drawn to Armand's introversion and have empathy for his brokeness (and I find him the most attractive) but his actions are obviously inexcusable. The boy needs some fucking therapy is where I land on Armand. He's severely fucked up, but I don't think he's evil. He and Lestat both abuse Louis but in different ways; he'd never beat or cheat on Louis, but he's controlling in subtle, twisty ways. He's manipulated Louis into a state of learned helplessness so he won't leave. At the end of the day, he and Lestat do what they do to Louis for the same reasons, because they're terrified of losing him.
You ate with this
Such a great ep and reaction! ❤️ It definitely had more horror vibes and I think Louis is going to be carrying that anger into the next ep for sure. I feel him and Daniel will be more united now to figure out the truth.
Season 1&2 covers The Interview with the Vampire and if/when picked up for season 3 It will cover The Vampire Lestat.
Can you imagine having a boyfriend who can wipe your mind and brainwash you every time he screws up and wants you to forget? This makes me wonder how much of Louis' memories are really his or Armand's rewrites of them. Let's give Lois a hand for his taste in men. Claudia should have thrown up her hands the moment Lois and Armand got together and said." F this shit, I'm out."
An incredible episode.
It was established at the end of season one that Armand is 500 years old and he can go out in the sun (not sure what age this happens).
I don't think any Anne Rice vampires are born, but the series, _First Kill,_ has vampires that are born and vampires that are made.
Louis is so packaged up hes passing out that sweet love (Anita Baker) Armond is never going to leave him
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Really can’t be on teams in this show, they’re all awful, they’re all lovable, and they’re all monsters! The sun loses its effect on older vampires.
The next episode title gives vibes of subterfuge and inconsistency, I think. God made the world and then said, "Let there be light." How did He see to make the world? Is there some (Laying aside that God might not need light to see or need to see to create.)
There were elements of _Merrick_ in this episode (2.5) as well.
This episode is definitely a ten. With each new episode that comes out, I think “this is the best episode yet.” So I think maybe it’s even more than a ten. I’ll give it an 11!
Oh your questions about who is more evil, more stronger, and your surprise at Least being stronger than Armand, tells me you are a newbie and haven't read the books, cuz they answer all your questions. Haha. I won't give spoilers to you or your subscribers. So enjoy the ride. 😊
Akasha and Enkil are the strongest vampires, Akasha is the first vampire and Enkil is her first fleshling. So, Louise is doing all this to make Lestat come back to him. I know how Armand feels, listening to your girlfriends talk about their exes, all the time. I give this episode a 10.5, how in the world do they make every episode better than the last?
A woman will talk about her ex around you if she doesn't respect you. Stay woke fellas
@@petboy5839 That explains a lot of things, but, that is why I feel for Armand so much. How do you keep your lover interested in you?
@@rondickey7116 My guy don't try too hard it's a waste of time and energy. What did Lestat do with Louis? He got a woman on the side that gave him peace. Antoinette. Don't try too hard when it comes to the woman you love most likely she won't be grateful about it. Women these days are taught independence. How can you be with someone who's independent? An independent person shouldn't be in a relationship. Relationship is about depending upon the person you care about. Anyway, when you find yourself falling hard for a woman that's making your life difficult, find a sidepiece that will give you peace. It will help calm your emotions down. Men are naturally polygamous
@@rondickey7116 Have you raised this issue with your partner? If you’re still together, that is. It could be that she hasn’t gotten over her previous partner (if she constantly brings them up) and perhaps wasn’t in a place to date you, but did anyway. If that is the case, it isn’t fair to you. Perhaps she doesn’t know how to communicate effectively what she liked from her previous relationship, that she would like to try with you, without bringing them up. Only you know (and can find out) the context.
That being said, you can’t hold the interest of someone who isn’t genuinely into who you are, but you can add points of interest into your relationship with someone who is, by engaging in new activities (beyond the physically intimate kind) that builds rapport/ connection, excitement, trust and memories.
@@rondickey7116 Don’t follow that other person’s advice. You’ll never have a healthy relationship that way. That is not to say there is anything wrong with being polygamous, if that is truly who you are. But cheating and being polygamous are not remotely the same thing. Poly people should find poly partners, no matter their gender identity. Cheaters just lack integrity, self-respect, respect for their partners and relationships. They erode trust and destroy people in the process. This can have long lasting negative effects not just for the partner but the cheater… even if it takes them a while to recognise it. Moving on from an unhealthy relationship or one that is not aligned is much healthier than clinging on and both suffering, a’la Armand.
It might be challenging at times but you’ve got this!
The books go over some of the same moments but from different perspectives. So you are in the 2nd half of Interview but with some backstory of Lestat and Armand.
I am Team Louis he is a messy boy and needs some therapy he's not evil he's just can be spiteful at times
Jmo. I think Armand is more damaged/deranged than the rest of them. He was dumped by Lestat, somewhat love/tolerated by Louis. Armand wants to loved the way he loves and comes up short which makes him manipulate the minds of those he's around just to keep control. (The restaurant scene, vampire heads down) He just wants control like Lestat.
"And then she went into Christ, the lord!?" Yes. She did have a bit of a crisis of faith and stopped writing about vampires and werewolves and other supernatural beings for a good couple of years due to guilt, IIRC... and became a very very Catholic for a period of time(Catholicism... Goes hand in hand with feeling guilty lmao)... And then that's when she was writing about like angels and more religious based stuff.... But she couldn't resist the pull of writing about vampires and went back to it, eventually.
You will find out about the strength and the reasons later.
Akasha & Enkil!!!!! Are the strongest!!!!! They are the ancients.
16:19 Paris is the stain that Louis can't get past
Oh I love all of these characters - they are all morally corrupt, deranged beasts but I adore that for them 😂 I was just giving fair warning that there are no heroes in this show - they all might think they are, but they're all villains of various calibers to us and to each other. Lestat is the main protagonist of the book series, but still very much a vampire 😂 Lestat is the strongest by the END of the series, but at this point its Akasha - the queen of the damned.
Team Lastate
No no, I LOVE Lestat! ❤😊 Many other people do too, why did you have to do him like that? 😅
I’m team Armand all the way. I don’t think either he or Lestat are categorically worse than the other, they’re just fucked up in different ways because of their trauma and Lestat just has all the qualities that I cannot stand in a person 😅 (plus Sam Reid is not my type, whereas Assad Zaman 🥵😮💨🤤).
strongest vampire of them all Akasha ======was played by Aaliyah RIP = Queen of the damned ....shes a cold killer ........Lestat drinks from her later in life
Id have to give this episode a 8
Oh, it deserves more than an 8. Give it a 9 at least. Just suggesting?
nothing like the orig i'm not a fan of these of horrible poser
re - makes they R just the WORST
