Armand IS Amadeo. First named Arun as a little boy in Dehli, he was sold to slavers and then to a brothel, this until his later maker, Marius, bought him at 15 and renamed him Amadeo, and although he "saved him", he still kept "donating" him like the brothel keepers. It wasn't until Amadeo turned 27 and was very sick that Marius made him a vampire. But they separated when Marius, as Armand says, is killed by other vampires and Amadeo is forced to be with the new coven. That same one who gave him the name "Armand".
yeah, armand was talking about his backstory in the museum scene - he was born arun then renamed amadeo by his maker and then renamed armand again by the coven. very excited for episode 5, it's my favorite of the season (out of the episodes that have already aired) and one of my favorites of the show overall
The dress shop woman is Madeline. She's played by the phenomenal Roxanne Duran, who will answer everyone on Twitter who asks her questions. I have never seen someone so available and gracious for her fans. Total gem of a person. We're getting season 3 and I'm crazy excited! You seem to be big fans of Lestat, so you're really going to love the next season 😊
They served us up some Lestat and I really appreciate it. The book doesn't have a place for him in this part of the story but they've worked him in as an hallucination and in Armand's backstory. It would have been missing something without him, for sure!
And yes, Arun was Armand's name when he was a little boy, before he was turned. And Maitre, the name the coven calls Armand, and later Armand calls Louis, means Master. Armand's actor, Assad Zaman, explains that this new dynamic is a way for Armand to let someone else have control over him and his decisions/responsibilities, thus Louis telling him what to do or giving him advice, making him feel less stressed about the Theatre situation and going back to his innocent self, this as a way of dealing with Armand's past. But also, a way for Louis to go back to his cold business man persona. It's an interesting dynamic that's to come.
Yes, Armand was named Armadeo after he was sold to Marius a very ancient vampire. Until he was attacked by the coven that Armand became a part of when they took him from Marius.
It's crazy... I feel like a vampire nowadays... The way I recall years ago we weren't even allowed to marry... Hell we were so feared... And now I've lived so long I can see straights reacting to an amazing show... With amazing roles... And they love it...
everything is so fuuuuucked and i love it. also, i love switching from patreon to your little conclusion segments at the end, you guys are on it. and i agree, season 2 is so dense with intriguing characters and information that it tops s1 (though i hold that season near and dear to me). i do miss lestat as well though, so i'm glad they incorporated dreamstat at least for a little while. daniel's "are you schizophrenic, louis?" was CRAZY but warranted. imagine being armand and hearing your partner of 77 years say "i could feel his breath on the back of my neck".................. the louis/armand divorce arc and lesbian bed death has been in the making since the 40s i guess 🤒
@@yasminemixon9340 I think they're very succinct actually, especially because they do comment on a lot of little things throughout each watch. i mean i'd never be opposed to hearing more of their thoughts, obviously, but i'm quite happy with the way things are now. ☺️
For me this season surpassed season 1. Please keep in mind that Armand and Louie and Claudia are unreliable narrators here. Armand is a complicated cat. He's a very interesting character from the books and I enjoy how he's being portrayed here. We found out today that we're getting a season 3 and I'm so happy!
Saw someone on twitter talk about your reaction videos and Ive been hooked since last night. Thanks for sharing! it's always great to watch folks who didnt know much/anything about the story, get into the show.
You forget, when vampires move, the average person cannot see them, just like no one is hearing Armand and Claudia arguing on the street. Santiago flies without detection on the street.
I don't think the two examples your mention are examples of people not being able to see vampires. I think people weren't present to see Santiago fly, and nobody was paying attention to Armand talking to Claudia. Vampires can move fast enough that humans can't see them and glamour humans to forget or see something else, but they just weren't paying attention in those scenes.
bro the way i spent the entire week trying to figure out the end of "i was at home picking" and was not prepared at all for the full line 😂 also its always hilarious to me how louis' breakup with imaginary lestat is like taking your senior dog out for one last walk through the woods before shooting him in the backyard
Thanks to Bryce and Rob! 🧛♀ I read earlier today that we're *definitely* getting a third season. This is great news. The stories/characters are so good; I hope they adapt all of the novels.
Another enjoyable reaction - like hearing your theories and willingness to question what's going on! Hope you enjoy the rest of the season, guys! The break-up with Lestat was so sad, but Louis needs to find himself a therapist instead of a new partner, lol! Also loved the RR reference with Love Is Dumb - Jacob's a talented guy!
After the season is over(I’m pretty sure the story of the 1st novel will end, and S3 will start the second novel) you should try to react to the movie version of Interview
No it's not. Why did we start to call devotion "codependency" again? Also, idk if you watched with yoir eyes open because Louis rejected Armand's companionship. Maybe Armand is "codependent" (in your terms) but Louis certainly is not
I feel weird about a potential romance for Claudia. Even if she's been alive for longer, she still has the body of a fourteen year old. It's just icky to me.
If it's "icky" for you, then you're disrespecting her whole storyline. She HATES being trapped in that body. She CRAVES a romantic companion Madeleine knows she's an adult because Claudia explained her teenage-like appearance as malnourishment during the war which is quite believable, especially for Madeleine. So stop being a twitter snowflake or go find another show, this one is gonna have some things that are a lot worse
@@fluorescent_shrimpf*ck off, there was absolutely no need to end your comment with an insult like that. You can get your point across without being rude.
@@fluorescent_shrimp it's icky because being attracted to a fourteen year old when you're an adult IS icky. I already acknowledged that Claudia is older in experience. Doesn't change the fact that her body is that of a child.
FULL WATCHALONGS/EARLY ACCESS REACTIONS UP TO SEASON 2 EPISODE 6 OF IWTV: www.patreon.com/ReelTimeYT/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=IWTV
It was announced today that season three is officially happening!! 🎉 There’s still SO much fun to be had, boys
YESSSSSSS
Yes!
I was so happy when I saw that! I was so scared because of the low ratings 🎉
Every episode has been in top 10 streaming across all platforms for season 2. So its the streaming. @@charlierayed
@@charlierayedalso apparently it took Breaking Bad until season 4 to find a huge audience. And that was on AMC too.
Armand's maker is Marius. Lestat's maker is Magnus.

And Armand made Daniel
20:15 "I'm just like thinking too much about Armand and Daniel"
Same
Bryce: Louie goes dumb for love
like very stupid lmaoo but I still love him

Heavily edited that post to not include spoilers but I guess I gave you one anyway. But you knew he was alive. Daniel Molloy spoiled that in season 1
They don't worry about people over hearing them because they're speaking in English and most of the French people likely won't understand them
One of Santiago's vampire gifts is that he is an excellent mimic.
you two humming jacob's song made my day, i love his music
haha i really appreciate y'alls love for lestat. I was jonesing for more lestat screentime this whole season😆
They served us up some Lestat and I really appreciate it. The book doesn't have a place for him in this part of the story but they've worked him in as an hallucination and in Armand's backstory. It would have been missing something without him, for sure!
The most interesting storyline for me right now is what’s going on with Daniel and armand and those flashbacks I’m loving the mystery
And yes, Arun was Armand's name when he was a little boy, before he was turned. And Maitre, the name the coven calls Armand, and later Armand calls Louis, means Master.

Armand didn’t break coven rules because the exception to the no-kill rule is that the Maitre of the coven has power of life and death over them.
Armand is the boy in the painting.
Yes, Armand was named Armadeo after he was sold to Marius a very ancient vampire. Until he was attacked by the coven that Armand became a part of when they took him from Marius.
The coven was intentional in giving Claudia the role of "LuLu." In other words, Claudia is doomed to be a "child" forever.

I'm so glad I get to binge this. I don't think I would have been able to handle waiting every week for the next episode
For me this season surpassed season 1. Please keep in mind that Armand and Louie and Claudia are unreliable narrators here. Armand is a complicated cat. He's a very interesting character from the books and I enjoy how he's being portrayed here.
We found out today that we're getting a season 3 and I'm so happy!
I don't think they are unreliable narrators, they are just sharing their POV of the traumatic events that happened to them
Episode 5 is the best one up to now, followed by 7. I’m not prepared for the finale.
@20:50 LMAO 😂😂 I love that you both know that song!
What is the name of that song?
Cannot wait to see
Gabrielle, Akasha and Marius
Next episode will blow your minds
Season 3 was just confirmed!
I can’t wait to see your reaction to ep 5!
Santiago mentioned in ep 2 that he’s a great mimic
🎶 love is dumb 🎶 was not expecting the Raleigh/Jacob shout-out

Im so with u guys, I kept missing Lestat this season too
iwtv reactions is what made me start watching you guys im so excited ur finally doing season 2 ALSO BUCKLE UPPPPP sm more shit goes down
Another enjoyable reaction - like hearing your theories and willingness to question what's going on! Hope you enjoy the rest of the season, guys! The break-up with Lestat was so sad, but Louis needs to find himself a therapist instead of a new partner, lol! Also loved the RR reference with Love Is Dumb - Jacob's a talented guy!
finally!!! the poorly negociated bdsm vampire relationship he've all been waiting for!!!!
Correction, Armand was obsessed with Lestat and Lestat hated Armand. Do not believe Armand.
After the season is over(I’m pretty sure the story of the 1st novel will end, and S3 will start the second novel) you should try to react to the movie version of Interview
I started reading the book but I'm finding it hard to get into. I've taken a break but will eventually get back to it.
You better not. It's not for snowflakes like you
@Jevjevjevj what is your problem?? This isnt the channel for you if you're just gonna be rude and attack people
I think probably most people act dumb when they're in love. But Louis appears to be codependent when he's in love which is very unhealthy.
