The finale was absolutely insane. So extremely insane, my jaw dropped and stayed on the ground for a whole long time after the episode, and I was crying and my heart was all over the place, all over the place. Louis crying over Lestat is going to haunt me forever and then... and THEN... THE FINAL PLOT TWIST. I kind of caught some of the crumbs around and then I started thinking all manner of Armand thoughts and panicking and freaking out and then! And then! I am now not any better AAAAAAAAAA
Could t have summed my feelings better. Haha. I was even reading the book The Vampire Armand at the same time and didn’t put it together.
I'm soooo worried that Rashid/Armand is using his 'mind gift' on Louis, as Louis doesn't seem 'all there' when he says that he's the love of his life. Like his words don't match his expression.
And so now I wonder if Armand has been messing with his memories and controlling him (and the narrative) for whatever reason! I was just like 'Blink twice if you need help, Louis!'.
Definitely going to be interesting to see how this pans out!
I def think Armand is up to something! Especially if they’re going by the book and his role in Claudia’s death.
I’m curious as to how part 2 will play out. How Louis meets Armand and when he sunk his fangs into him. We shall see…
There's defintiely some level of control here. At the very least it would be a love triangle situation with Lestat. Unless they are just going to go in a completely new direction all together.
He's definitely controlling Louis in some way, for one all the books are out of reach unless Louis asks Armand to use his powers to get them. Claudia's diary is missing pages which says that Armand may have ripped them out due to the knowledge that Louis originally planned to save Louis and stay with him. Then you got the fact in two different episodes, Louis couldn't remember certain details like the weather when he met someone for a fling.
It's so sad because Louis is clearly mentally broken by all the trauma and has been the victim of abuse and manipulation. Now you have Armand fucking around with Louis' mind and making him co- dependent on Armand.
I love what they are doing with the show and for book fans they've added so many little twist and bread crumbs to follow up on after an initial viewing of the show.
The visual imagery in this show is so telling because in this episode as Louis is talking about the night he and Claudia "kill" Lestat we see them at the Mardi Gras ball dressed in all white like it's their wedding night. Louis even makes a point that so much was written about that night except he and Lestat's dance and very public kiss.
Contrast all that with Louis standing next to Armand in the final scene. Armand standing a step higher than Louis symbolizing they aren't on equal footing. Armand and Louis have been wearing black all season like if in mourning and Louis refers to their penthouse as a coffin.
Due to Louis's inconsistencies in remembering details about his past and how he's told Daniel two different stories it's possible Armand has been using the mind and spell gift on Louis to alter his memories.
He definitely used them on Daniel in the first Interview because Louis pointed out Daniel didn't remember Armand saved him, which make me think Daniel broke Armand's spell on Louis then.
I'm also wondering if after that first Interview if there was some version of Devil's Minion but instead of Armand eventually turning Daniel into a vampire, he let Daniel go and altered or erased his memory of him.
It would explains Armand's pained expression when Louis told Daniel he'd give him the Dark Gift now and how quickly Armand stepped in when Louis used the mind Gift on Daniel for talking about Claudia's assault.
I'm thinking the show is remixing the 1st trilogy of the Vampire Chronicles with the Prince Lestat trilogy, which would make sense because it's where all the central conflict happens and there's a 30 year or so gap between those books.
There's so many places the show can go and possibilities with the relationship between Armand and Louis. The most basic thing it will do is cause a love triangle when Lestat finally shows up again. Which... honestly, I'm so down to see that drama play out. haha
@@TheNaughtyLibrarian I’m very much excited to see the Lestat,Louis and Armand drama unfold.
Louis and Armand are kinda giving me “If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one your with” vibe.
I thought about when Louis told Daniel that he would turn him now if he asked and how upset Armand got. If Daniel and Armand do have a past like they did in the books that would make this all so messy and I can’t wait. 😂
@Elliot Alderson Great insights. Thanks!
The only bread crumb I really needed was in episode 2, when Daniel read the artist of the painting and said Marius de Romanus. I thought why would Louis have that in particular, The Vampire Armand's maker. And we knew he was a vampire when he read Louis from another room when he making Daniel's hand bang. Also, when he and Louis were speaking with their minds, in 6 when he asked Rashid if he was awake, he said I can be. Then he appeared in Daniel's dream and had not aged.
Call 911, Louis is being held hostage.
Antoinette was the female version of Antione, one of Lestat's fledglings.
I don't know which was more fun: the episode, or your reaction to the episode. Both made my heart glad this dreary Monday. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I did not want to like this series. I'm a huge fan of the books. I wouldn't even watch the trailer. I slammed it online in Reddit and chimed in on CZcams fan groups. Boo! How dare they change the time period, the costumes, Claudia's age.... A second interview in Dubai with Daniel at age 65?? Terrible! Sacrilege!
Until one night a month ago. I was bored, or maybe a little interested? I watched it once. Noticed the nods and Easter eggs; Nikki's music box, the painting in Armands apartment, the lines quoted from the books told so beautifully on balconies, a French speaking music loving Lestate, a black family living in America's south, Baby Jenks laid over a young girl named Claudia. Yes.... I have been seduced by this series. It is magnificent. Sam Reids voice singing "Come to Me" plays in my car when I'm driving home from work alone late at night. I've got it bad.
It's sad how the negative reviews are from old vampires like me who can not let go of the age they were born in and embrace the new age and updated source material that so desperately needed it. I actually found this series to fill Anne's plot holes and flesh out her characters. Louis is no longer weak and one dimensional. Those long historic chapters can be told by the set designers.
I have so many theories on how they will take this story forward.
I think Anne Rice would've loved this if she had been here to see it. So original while being g authentic to the book where it counts. Best series of the year for me.
I agree. It fully has the spirit and most of the actually story represented. It's just being told through a different lens. can't wait for season 2
I think she wouldn’t like it and told it as she wanted to. There’s a reason it didn’t come around until after her death.
@@ambrosia5356 She passed as they started shooting. It was in pre-prod way before her passing. Nobody will know anyways because none of us are her.
@@_notmyproblem_ fair enough. But Anne rice did not hold back in her books. The topics covered were deep for all manner of representation. It basically takes away a huge part of the stories including Daniels story. I feel like I’m the end they will leave the lore completely to create these all knew Louis and Armand stories and they will be the characters in name only. Remember what happened to game of thrones when the writers went past the books lol?
this finale was everything. can't wait to see more of those who must be kept and marius. can't wait to see louis meeting armand. i'm picturing a very protective claudia who is also intrigued and wants to meet other vampires.
There's so much story left in Interview and I think they'll probably mix in some of Lestat's backstory. Maybe as flashbacks while he's recuperating.
That plot twist towards the end was such an ingenious ploy by the writers; Rashid, the lanky assistant transforming into an ancient vampire horror was a grand performance by Assad Zaman! I also caught the Those Who Must Be Kept easter egg, in the novel Enkil almost killed Lestat! Marius in the books, was kind of Lestat's adoptive maker because he met Lestat not long after the latter's transformation.
A couple of corrections:
- Fire... not even that's a sure death. Marius was burnt badly but he survived.
- Armand is a redhead and he was turned in the late 15th century, not in 1599.
- Antoinette does exist in the book in a way but the character doesn't get a name until later: Antoine. He's Lestat's "friend" and he helped him after the attack but he had nothing to do with it.
A big hint about Armand: The painting by Marius (who's Armand's maker) in episode 2.
I loved when Antoinette was thrown in the fire she revived for the pain
In the Vampire Lestat, Magnus made a point of saying spread my ashes to make sure I don’t come back. Even fire is like, meh.
That is an interesting tidbit, I think if they had tossed Lestat into the fire, he may have come back regardless! Idk about Antoinette, she was a newborn not a powerful vampire.
I was always suspicious of Armand. When he introduced Daniel to Claudia's diaries, I was concerned. Daniel questioned rashid about praying, he also picked up on the conversation that Rashid was from someplace other than the Middle East when he suggested that something that pointed to Eastern Europe, specifically Kasikstan or Crimea.When Daniel woke up from the 70's flashback/dream, I suspected that Armand was a vampire.
The algorithm blessed me with your channel and I binged the snot out of your IWTV playlist. When I saw the trailer for the show I thought the character was the Vampire Armand, but pushed that thought away. By the time the finale came around I was equally shocked. I Absolutely love this show and hope AMC lets the creators tell their entire interpretation of the books.
Thanks for watching! I’m so excited for season 2 and I love the lens they are telling the story through. 😸
I've sat here and watched your whole series on this & Mayfair witches today and I agree 100% with your takes (and I'm now going to go back and finish Mayfair which I quit mid episode 5 cos I was so BORED and disgusted with the changes) - keep cranking out the awesome vids!
OMG... I clutched my pearls on the big reveal!😲
It was so epic!
so good! totally stuck the landing.
I'm here for Lestats 100000% And ARAMAND?OMG!!!!
Also, an Easter Egg (I think that's what you call it), in one of the earlier episodes. In the scene where Louis signed the contracts to buy the Azalea, as they're panning the camera to him in the office, you'll see, in the parlor, the round, red sofa w/center backrest from the movie! (It's where Lestat killed one hooker and bit the other one's breast right before he put her in the coffee table coffin)!
Great episode. This is Louis story... Jacob is playing his role to a tee.
He’s a really good Louis and makes the character much more dynamic.
Thank you for the recaps and Easter eggs to the books and movies. I just finished the show but never read the books and you did a great job. And now I want to read the books because of you.
Thanks! I’ve also been recalling all the books on my channel too! I did the whole Mayfair Witches series and I’m almost done with Vampire Chronicles
The finale was great. Lestat had the nerve to call Antoinette his love and turned her into a vampire !! The crazy part is he wanted her to replace Claudia smh Even if she joined the family, Louis would be more depressed and eventually kill himself.
The present Louis has major PTSD and still love with his abuser. It also looks like his memories may have been altered. Was anyone else creeped out how Armand grabbed Louis hand and floating above him? Another red flag is the fact the books are so high up and Louis likes to read but can't fly. Louis also looked like he forced smile after calling Armand which is sad.
In the books you do find out that Armand has kept a lot of secrets from Louis and was basically responsible for Claudia's death. Louis and Armand are still companions for several decades though. They part ways because Louis was never able to love Armand after Claudia.
Lestat only said Antoinette is his love because Louis said "i'm sorry my love" and Lestat knew he was being manipulative in that moment,trying to make him drink the poisoned bait.
So he mocks him back with 'my love' to Antoinette.
Antoinette is NOT Lestat's love,he tolerated her because she was a trauma dumping ground about his husband and daughter.
This is a great video and breakdown aside from the awkward, uncomfortable laughter
I love this dang show. And you're awesome sis 👏👏👏👏👌❤️
I loved this episode too! At the beginning of the season I wasn’t sure about the jump in time 100 years but after awhile it didn’t bother me too much. The dead things having sex still bothers me though. The penetration is the fangs and duh! They’re dead but whatever. One thing I absolutely loved is Sam Reid’s portrayal of Lestat. Now I’ve been an Ann Rice fan for 30 years and I never really liked Lestat. Sam Reid is really as the brat prince and now I love to hate Lestat as never before
Well in the books vampires actually have heartbeats so technically they could have sex if they wanted to but the intimacy of it pales in comparison to drinking blood. It's boring to them.
I wasn't sold on Sam Reid at first but by the end of the season I really loved his performance too.
Wow!!! I rememeber having The Vampire Armand in my hands and never had the time to read it. I was so confused at the finally. Thank you for this video. ❤
Another great recap and review, and watching this season has been a lot more fun with you around, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I got lost during the epilogue. I needed a thorough explanation for wtf I was seeing.
Thanks! I was so stunned. Can’t wait for season 2!
This episode was one of the best TV season finales I’ve ever seen. Sorta reminded me of the exhilaration/excitement/insanity of the earlier season finales from The Walking Dead. BTW, great reaction/review video…
Thank you for watching! This finale totally stuck the landing!
Dang it! Now I want to read it!!! I have 0 time for it, but you, your reactions made me want it to read soooo bad... and somehow hold on watching adaptation.... aaaaaaaaaa
Haha! Interview with the Vampire is one of Anne Rice’s shorter books if that helps you feel any better. Haha. I’m also reading the books and doing full reviews of them. A bunch of the videos are already up on my channel if you want to take the shortcut.
I was going to recommend listening to her reviews of the books.
I also believe Antoinette was a version of Antione, since they did say there would be a vampire from another book in IWTV. And Armand was in the book.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but Antoinette *is* in the books but is a man! They gender bent the character named Antoine. He was the musician Lestat was considering leaving Louis and Claudia for and he is mentioned briefly in the movie. Lestat actually did make Antoine into a vampire even though it isn't mentioned again until much later in the chronicles.
This finale was awesome I loved this episode the mardi gras party was great but the massacre scene it was so cool and as a major horror fan it was so awesome seeing the main three vampires go all ape shit on the scumbag elites all the blood and gore flying around my little horror self couldn't get enough Lol 🧛🦇, also the twist of Rashid being Armand I called it I so called it I was like hell yeah I knew it ! 😂😅
I wish I put together the Armand bread crumbs sooner! After the reveal it made perfect sense.
@@TheNaughtyLibrarian yeah I can't wait to rewatch the show so I can revisit all the bread crumbs again haha lol
Yeah ,I figured Rashid was Armand when Daniel read the name on the portrait, Marius de Romanus, Armand "s maker. Who as far as I know Louis hasn't met Marius.
@@jordanparker657 yeah that was another big hint for me too because how would Rashid some random human caretaker know so much about the vampire Marius de Romanus and yeah I don't think Louis has even met Marius yet to provide information about Marius to Rashid if he wanted to
@@roderick8167 The show was absolutely breath taking, can't wait for more.♥️🧡♥️
Love your video
Lestat only allows them to plot telepathically because it’s the only way he can listen to them (through Antoinette).
"Obviously eating babies is not a good look for anyone." 😂
EDIT: Antoinette is totally in the book, though, except he's a man and is only Lestat's side piece for a couple of weeks before the patricide attempt. After Lestat crawls up out of the swamp, he and newly-vamped Antoine show up at the house and Antoine gets torched along with the house (but apparently survives and shows up in a later book).
Yes, Antoine was in the book. Good catch. However, he was so unlike Antionette that I didn't want to fully equate the characters. Mainly because Antoine didn't love Lestat. He just put up with him so that Lestat would make him into a vampire. Whereas Antoinette was fully devoted to him and stayed with him for over a decade.
I didn't understand the ending what was with the Armand guy??
"Boy, does he learn how fucked he is!"
I love that!
I think Lestat is going to bring back Antoinette...I noticed that Louis can now set things on fire...I think he got this gift from Lestat's mother...
Is that a Buffy and Giles funko behind you????? I'm jelly
It is! Good catch.
could anyone decipher what rashid said over the mic when danny was sleep in another lanuage
Antoine is in the books, though.
There will be season two coming soon
There are pics from a Zoom interview with everyone that I saw circulating today. They've started filming in Prague!
:::I read thru your comments and saw that several folks had already given you info on Antoinette/Antoine...but I decided not to delete mine::: You are correct... Antoinette is not in the book. BUT Antoine is! Lestat and Antoine became lovers! Antoine was to take Claudia's place. He even said the same thing in the book about Antoine as he said in the show about Antoinette…making a better companion than Claudia!
Antoinette is a gender swap for Antoine, so she kind of is new, kind of not.
There is a book called Interview with the Vampire: Claudia's Diary. It was approved by Anne Rice, so the whole Claudia point of view is likely from that.
Armand being revealed as Rashid suggested to me Armand is mind controlling Louis and they never separated like in the book
Even Louis comes back after burning in merrick lol
I’m not quite there yet but ya… a lot of vampires get burned an come back. I think if they get burned to ashes though, that’s the end.
*whispering* "Claudia... Claudia"
I really liked the original how Claudia killed Lestat qnd that he came back and attacked them and then they burned down the house and all this horror was so perfect to me that on the first watch I didn't like how they changed the plot of the killing Lestat Part, but now I think they did a great Job. I think they made the show for the Fans. And you cant spoil the "surprise" that Claudia is going to kill Lestat for someone who already knows the Movie and the Book, so all you can do is change the events a little and change the perspektive you tell the story from. Everything else would have been repeating the Movie.
Antionette is Antoine in the book not made up. Also how is she worse than Claudia who is a pathological psychopath?
The characters of Antoine and Antoinette are so different that I didn’t associate them witch each other.
@@TheNaughtyLibrarian ok, we can agree to disagree there. But how is she worse than Claudia?
😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Luis needs to be back in season 2 for revenge 😊
Antoinette is Antoine in the book.
I think the similarities between the characters end at the name honestly.
Did you see that they have to cast a new Claudia for season 2?
I heard about that but I didn’t see who they cast for it.
Bailey Bass will not be returning as Claudia for Interview with the Vampire Season 2. Delainey Hayles will replace her as the series goes to Paris -
holy potatoes. _JC
wait claudia dies!!?? ok i'm done, she was like my favorite. i cant watch season 2.
I love your laugh
