I lost my shit when Louis stood up and super sped over to Santiago and grabbed his tongue, my boy Louis was like keep talking shit keep mocking me and see what happens 😂, i thought a full on vampire fight was about to break out
It’s the epitome of f*ck around and find out. Haha
@@TheNaughtyLibrarian i know right Lol
A fight postponed.
Louis was about to bleed him like a cushon, bruh.
@@fortelewisandrew2426 for real lol
I think people will be surprised to find out that Armand can be ruthless when it comes to getting what he wants. The differences in the book and show are great. But they showed a glimpse of it in this episode. He's calculating and patient, and I agree that he may have wanted Santiago to overhear him and Claudia speaking.
The show does such a great job at making Armand feel like more of a passive threat at times so that when he acts overtly aggressive it's like a slap in the face. I love it!
Absolutely, Claudia having such a connection to the coven (even if it eventually sours) makes what’s to come all the worse. What could have been. And it’s interesting that supposedly Anne originally wanted to write Claudia as happily joining the coven, reaching some peace, but Anne then started having nightmares. The nightmares only went away when she wrote the canon ending. 😬 Very intense.
I’m so obsessed with Claudia this season. 😭😭😭
Villains who have a good point. LMAO!
Really??? How do you you know that’s what she wanted to write? I find it interesting that alot of people know inside scoops like that.
@@remholloway2579 I can’t personally remember where this particular anecdote comes from, but she gave a looooot of old interviews, was very active on Facebook, kept journals, and was just generally very accessible to fans. A lot of her thoughts have been documented in a lot of places. She liked to talk lol.
same; can't wait to learn more of daniel's past relationship with louis and armand. i'm getting the sense that louis became unhinged and armand was constantly cleaning up his messes.
Oh for sure. Maybe I was hearing things but Armand sounded so tired of Louis when he said "it's morning!" in that recording 😭 He's definitely had to reign Louis in a couple of times since they've been together. In the last episode of season 1 he even said "I protect him from himself". And what a task that must be 😓
Claudia was giving Norma Desmond realness
Glad we got Armand's backstory this episode. The funny look Lestat is giving while he is telling his story in the museum. Feeling so bad for Claudia. Giving Shirley Temple vibes in that performance. A theme I am seeing for this show is over time, all these vampires are searching for a good companion, but other relationships at the time keep them from happening. That Santiago vs Louis restaurant scene. . .
I like the idea of Daniel's Parkinson's taking away Armand's mental blocks of his memories from 1970s interview.
Yes! When he said buffoon I was like oh shiiit it’s on
And notice how Louis shuts everything out when he's that angry. I think we moved on from his outburst with Paul back in season 1 episode 1 but it's happened a few times now (with Claudia too when she wanted to burn Lestat, plopping that one white guy's body on his literal gate for his wife and kids to find him and even bursting down the door when his mother wanted him to leave) where it feels like Louis is willing to rip someone to shreds when he feels disrespected. He can even be worse than Lestat and Armand because he doesn't care if he's doing all that in public.
@@cyanrose499oh! Also remember in episode 7 where Louis rips the police captain’s whole jaw off and just tosses it aside like it’s whatever!!!!
@@remholloway2579 Exactly! Out of all three of them Louis was the first to be so brutal even though they were all starving. Maybe it's because Claudia and Lestat were experienced hunters that they were used to finding the most efficient way to drain someone's blood without mangling their body but there's been a few times now that we've seen Louis lacks control when he's feeding.
Even now in season 1 in Dubai, he nearly drained Damek and they haven't showed him drinking from the staff since then. Also with Daniel back in the 70s in San Francisco, Louis has major self-control issues.
Even though Lestat, Armand and Claudia (and the other vampires) seem to embrace their vampire lifestyles more while Louis is the outsider for trying to hang on to humanity in some ways, this may be good thing ultimately, considering he's a tight ball of nerves waiting to burst at any moment no matter how much time goes by
Tbf, Louis was the one against Claudia joining the theater. So, she cant be mad at him, that he found a way to reconcile himself with staying around the coven.
The way this episode ended!!!
I was screaming, I am so ready for next week's episode
I'm getting a very strong feeling toward the idea that Armand has been secretly playing Louis and Daniel this whole time, just as he did last season by pretending to be Rashiid. Based on his behavior towards Louis, on the pictures he claims Rashiid placed into the binder, on the many new memories Daniel is experiencing, I feel like he has been manipulating their minds for decades. It is entirely possible, given his advanced age by comparison to most other vampires at this point in the series, that he has been meddling with their memories and creating overlapping layers that they cannot reach beyond. We know from the brief glimpses that it appears that Daniel somehow triggered or insulted Louis, that he upset him enough to attack. However, we also now know that at some point during this assault, Armand appears to remove Louis from the situation, and instead begins to tamper with Daniel's memories of the event, from paralyzing his body to erasing whole sections of the interview altogether. We know that Daniel remembers meeting and briefly "flirting" with Louis at the bar, went back to what we presume is Daniel's hotel room or apartment, and from that point it is all white space in his mind. Given Louis' reaction to the mention of the fire and how spotty his memory of Claudia is, I feel like he either asked Armand to alter his memories of the past, or Armand chose to do so to distract Louis from his grief and pain. He has been constantly interjecting in the interview, reprimanding Daniel, and pointedly inflicting these memory flashes. He had intimate knowledge of Daniel's relationships, and both he and Louis were using them as cards in their deck of control. Whatever the reason, Armand has been controlling this whole situation from the start for his own ends. He might truly love Louis, but his personality and trauma indicate that he still perceives Louis' habits and lack of self control as a threat, the same way he did Lestat. 70 years together, and he still barely trusts Louis to do this on his own, or without his supervision, unapologetically.
A prediction that was right. Madeline the doll maker is Madeline the dress maker!! lol great break downs of these episodes. It is really giving me life and I love this series. Couldn’t bring myself to read those big long azz books! So thanks
I haven’t read the books but grew up with the movie, I’m absolutely loving this season and the actress who plays Claudia is killing it. I know Santiago is a bit of a d**k but I love his sass 💁♂️ he’s hilarious! So excited to see the rest of this season, dreading what is coming up for Claudia though 😭
Great episode. A more manipulative Armand, a treacherous Santiago and a disconnected Louis. He cannot remember things that he should, like the fire at the theater and murdering the vampires in the theater group. I think Armand has messed with Louis mind, made him forget details and major events. He probably did the same to Daniel, which is why he keeps having flashbacks - the Parkinson’s is breaking down the walls Armand put in years ago. Armand did to Louis so Louis never suspects it was Armand who truly influenced the demise of Claudia. He deliberately threatened her in ear shot distance of Santiago and then threatened him not to say a word about it to the group. BUT, Armand KNOWS Santiago will blab it all to the group, sort of indirectly daring them to get rid of her. If Louis suspects him in any way, Armand would lose him forever! And, Armand is insecure, doesn’t wish to be abandoned again, like Lestat did long ago!
My prediction for this season is that we find out Armand has Those Who Must Be Kept in his possession/protection in the Dubai Tower. I've seen some theories on it with weird groan noises in some scenes during the interview with Daniel in S1, Armand actually references the groans and creaks of the building briefly in one scene in Season 1? - Danielle
but why only in s1?
I am actually convinced that we’re gonna find out part of Armand’s Louis manipulation was that Louis and Lestat actually were seeing each other in Paris or something to that effect because I am all in on Dreamstat is real. I don’t know how but I feel it in my bones.
i remember seeing a theory last year that mental projection and passive mind reading are two different things, and perhaps the maker/sired rule doesnt apply to projection. a difference that lestat purposefully did not tell Claudia and louis about.
if this is true, then perhaps a lestat locked away somewhere in paris and out of his mind from years worth of blood starvation, is unintentionally projecting to louis and neither of them realize they are actually communicating? the detail about the embroidered initials in his jacket is an odd thing for louis to make up.
the only thing that gives me doubts about this theory is sam saying he intentionally blended louis' mannerisms into how he played dreamstat so idk 🤷🏻♀️
Yea, I’m not listening to any of the actors or writers when they talk about it. They’re definitely not gonna give us breadcrumbs that could be spoilers. Lol I didn’t think it was real at first but that detail about the embroidered coat that Louis wouldn’t know pushed it to the edge for me.
@@rachelz57 That's WHY it's Louis favourite suit of Lestat's, because he did know about the initials :)
@@hushfirefly I don’t think Louis knew because Dreamstat said as he was fading. He said you didn’t know this but I had your initials stitched on his ticket pocket. I think Lestat was really talking to him.
Question: is that a late 90s McDonald's Batman Forever glass mug? Looks like it and so many memories unlocked.
It is!!! I found 2 complete sets at a thrift store and snagged them so fast.
I'm not sure if it's just me, but I am getting confused as to what's happening in Daniel's flashbacks with Armand, however, I'm sure that's the whole point and will be revealed next week so thank you for touching on that. I also just about screamed when we heard more about Armand's backstory, specifically Marius! Am loving Santiago but am literally DREADING his betrayal of Claudia. - Danielle
Thanks so much for reviewing this show 😊
Out of all the reviews, I personally like her review of season two.❤
I find myself on team Santiago(and Claudia) at this point.
I don't know if the writers are making Louis terrible on purpose, but he's insufferable. And Armond is a gaslighting abuser.
It seems like Armond wiped Louis' memories of what really happened as well..?
Yup
Your reviews are both naughty an fantastic!!❤😂😂 thank you!!
Didn’t read the books but why can’t a vampire be an independent contractor? Is it customary for vamps to be a part of a group or coven?
In the books there were some vampires who live a recluse lifestyle. I think it's more the idea of when vampires choose to form a coven in a specific area, then that area becomes their territory.
Then other vampires who wander in are considered a threat to their food source and their way of life (e.g. keeping themselves hidden from humans) because they don't know the rules that the coven vampires operate under.
So then they either have to join the coven or leave. I think independent vampires wander around until they find a place where there aren't any other vampire groups and settle there (like Lestat when he was looking for the right place to settle in America). It's also implied in the books that in New Orleans Lestat used to kill random vampires who ended up wandering into his territory behind Louis and Claudia's back.
I could be wrong though.
Your recaps are always 🔥!!!
I love Baby Lulu's 👗 dress. I am having one made now. 😂😂 Delainey's bringing this Claudia to a place I have never seen. Brava 👏
Armand actually slapped Louis silly in his mind as he had to sit there and listen to Louis wax poetic about Lestat. ( which I ate up like chocolate chip cookies)
Ben's Santiago is fabulous, please let him be on our sde.
Lestat is doing my head in ,I can't stop laughing when he laughs. Come back to us Lestat.
Louis is going back to his pimp era 😊😅😮
It looks like it was Armand biting Daniel but he can't be a vampire or why would he have aged? Who's body is in the plastic? Who's Katherine?
🤸♂️🤸🤸♀️😡😠🤬 So many questions and the wait is too long.
Did the episode end mid sentence on purpose or was my AMC streaming skipping? Anyway, it's been years since I read Armond but if memory serves, he's one of the most evil SOBs of the vampires and an illusionist/telepath to boot. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't implanting/rearranging memories just for kicks/power/dominance in his relationships. I seem to remember his first encounters with Lestat, he made him hallucinate he was somewhere else/doing some other adventure when he realized Armand was feeding upon him! I can't wait until the next episode! This series is soo much better than the movies, even if it's an alt version of the books.
I think at some violent part of the Paris timeline Armand threw Louis in a coffin locked it and ran off to San Francisco with it ......he opened it in 1973 thinking he could control Louis but he couldnt so he put him back until now in Dubai to stage a reemergence....at this point do we even trust what was written in IWTV by Daniel
It ended like that on purpose I think. The show's creators really hit us with a "mwah ha ha! How's about THIS for a cliffhanger!😈"
Armand was picking what??? Picking WHAT????
love your breakdown... it was something i didn't know i needed... new follower activated
Did anyone catch a key character we met briefly? Raglan James. Has Daniel met Lestat? Was it Raglan? Was it Lestat?
Thank you for make these recap videos 🙏🏼 I too was kind of wondering what was going on with Daniel‘s mind with little snippets of Armand popping in randomly. Very excited to see what they’re gonna do with that.
Glad. Found ya channel ❤
23:44 Tell me that Louis's face doesn't look pummeled in that picture! Overanalyze with me! Did Armand attack Louis, and then alter Louis's memories and plant the memory of taking a beating at Lestat's hands? The beating in Season 1 always struck me as un-like book Lestat. But boy is violence and manipulation right up ARMAND's alley (not to mention dropping from high places)!
Snatching Santiago by his tongue was a terrible mistake when Louis maker is supposed to be some nobody and Santiago is powerful…
Anybody but me thinking that someone has locked Louis in a coffin to silence/shield him since either that last night in Paris or since 1973 in SF ????? ....did Armand compel Daniel to change the end to IWTV from Louis's original telling back in 1973 .....is Louis emerging from his capture in realtime Dubai as some kind of psyche intervention? ......what do we really trust about that first book ?,or any historic telling for that matter
Thank you for the video. It's quite spoilers tho. I know you didn't "say anything" regarding Santiago, Claudia and stuff but you imply a lot
Loved the review xx
I’m sorry, but totally off subject, BUT, is that the limited edition Batman McDonald’s glass cup?!?!?? Cause I have the same one and currently drinking Coca-Cola out of it. Cheers 🍻
I feel Santiago is going to demand that Armand kill Louis or kill Claudia . I think Armand is going to kill Claudia to get back at Armand.
Oooo that would be interesting. Making it an either or situation where Armand makes the decision
Is there any way to order more episodes before they drop every week
When Madeleine was telling her .. new backstory, my (Jewish) bf and I just kinda looked at each other like 🤨… what a weird and unnecessary choice to make??
Huh? Why’s that?
@@tmd-w1552 it’s just a weird choice to make bruh. Like it didn’t need to be there.
@@tmd-w1552 people defending why they would bang a nazi is not really my cuppa tea. Like boo-hoo poor Madeleine she made a shit choice and is facing social repercussions. Is this supposed to make me sympathetic to her? She was a much more sympathetic character in the book. They could’ve just left it at that.
@@tmd-w1552 like there were so many choices that the writers could’ve made and they chose to give her a sob story about having sex with a poor little innocent baby Nazi boy. It’s a dumb tasteless choice.
@@maramoon333 I mean it’s accurate to the time they’re setting everything in and at the end of the day Nazis exist I get it’s a sensitive topic but this show also depicted the black American experience it’s hard thing to watch to
I hope Claudia in the show finds a way to get the upper hand on Armand, Santiago, the coven and loui. I hope she survives! In my fantasy she befriend a witch and somehow returns from death.
All we know about Claudia was left from Daniel's pages ,but what if it was written by a liar compelling the story ....Louis doesn't seem to know or remember ,so he is not reliable ......I think somewhere between Paris and Dubai Louis has actually been locked in a coffin by Armand ,and Daniel has been glamoured ..........so we have to wait and see her fate even now
didn't she say that the lieutenant she slept with was hitler or did i miss hear lol
I miss old Claudia..😔
I think Delainey captures Claudia even more effectively!
No, you just miss how the old Claudia looks, which I wouldn't be surprise if you are a dude, since (I hate to say this) the old Claudia was more of the "male gaze" and not black looking (which sadly I seen racist and shallow comments saying why they hate the new one). I find the new version much better and lively. The old one was so monotune when acting and annoying at times, to be honest.
@@user-cv3ke7so8e I was wondering when someone would say something this dumb.. I have no hate towards the new girl, she's fine.. you're dismissing Old Claudia because as you call it "The male gaze"..OC had a fiery spunkiness and pathos that the new girl doesn't.. see the first season again.. don't let her beauty cloud your perception of her performance.. the new girl is beautiful as well, I was just commenting how the new casting was a bit off kilter for me... That's all..
