Rolin said Armand intentionally left Gabrielle out because he didn’t want her mentioned. Rolin also said she’d most likely be the other central character of season 3
Found it on TVinsider: “Gabrielle - not particularly somebody I think Armand wants [mentioned]. But don’t worry, it’s coming,” Jones assures, adding, “If there’s a Season 3, Lestat will get to tell his version of the story that will be wildly different about what happened there.” He doesn’t stop there: “In my head, other than Lestat, [Gabrielle is] the central character of Season 3. The most important character.” Whomever they cast in the role in the potential third season, it will have to be “someone who can do dubious battle with Sam. Sam is absolutely the biggest instrument,” Jones notes.”
Season 3?? Confirmed??
Thank goodness!
@@nirvanaqueens not officially but Rolin has been saying a lot about season 3 in interviews, so I think it’s happening.
@@geminihexx9858 it better be 😩
The moment he started talking, I was like "Talamasca!* Lol
We have to watch this show to DEATH so they renew it for season three -- because Gabrielle would definitely be in season three according to the show-runner. I'm so desperate to see her! 😭 Nicki! Wolfkiller! Armand's romantic fanfiction! I looooooved this episode, it was the comedy and the tragedy of everything going on in this universe and I'm living for it. 😍
I also saw something from an atxfestival panel today where Assad and Rolin said Armand is “most certainly” the Armand of the books and that alone gave me even more hype for future seasons, I feel like it’s going to get a little closer to books than anything we’ve ever gotten but with this creative team the new things are interesting and fun and hope it continues for a long time
I cant believe they havent renewed for season 3 yet it's making me so nervous lmao.
Same I love this show so much, and the fact that we are already 3 episodes into Season 2 and still no official Season 3 renewal from AMC is making me very nervous come on AMC!!! I mean they make a million Walking Dead shows so many spin-off's of that, they should at least give IWTV a chance "crosses fingers" LOL😅
The way they’re building a universe around the Anne Rice books I think we can feel pretty confident it’s coming. Obviously we don’t know for sure, but I’m feeling optimistic. I feel like I have seen more buzz for the show this time, so that’s a good sign!
It's so nice to see another book reader really enjoy the show and appreciate what it's doing. It's so layered!
It really is!
Great review. I can't believe Louis didn't ask what plans they have for Claudia. When she told the story of Bruce...her eyes....devastating. 😢
Ragland F$#%ing James!!!!!
Why is he sending out emails from Talamasca? Armand talking about Claudia and chemistry when discussing her age and body is disturbing. That dress the coven gave her is a terrible reminder of what she hates most about her circumstance . Our Dear Immortal Child 😢😢
I forgot to mention ton in the video but Raglan gets kicked out of the Talamasca for stealing materials so maybe that’s it?
@@TheNaughtyLibrarian OK, thanks. We'll keep an eye on this guy.☺️🤭
3 eps in and we already got TVL material i think its safe to assume that we might get a glimpse of Marius before the season is over!
Yep he was name dropped in season 1 and we saw his name as Armand’s maker in the files Raglan sent to Daniel. ❤
oh, I hope so! Marius is one of my favorite characters in the books. czcams.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f601.pngczcams.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f601.pngczcams.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f601.png
@@geminihexx9858whoa whoa whoa Magnus is Armand’s maker 😳🤯
@@caseyreed988not Magnus, Marius. Too many “M” names, haha
11:43 i haven’t read the books in years but i could’ve sworn i remember armand begging lestat to become his companion after he destroyed the cult? but then lestat rejected him and armand got mad? 😂 am i remembering that wrong?
but if that did happen i guess this scene could be how armand interpreted it, lestat came, changed his life completely, made him fall in love with him and then refused to become his companion and disappeared lol
I remember the same thing. Armand DID beg Lestat to be his companion but Lestat declined the honor. It was also implied that Armand, if given the chance, would have driven a wedge between Lestat and Gabrielle so as to have Lestat all to himself. A century or so later he's pretty much repeating that same pattern, plotting to get rid of Claudia in his tug-of-war to win over Louis. Armand's a prime manipulator!
Armand needed Lestat to help him transition to the changing times. Lestat needed Louis for the same reason.
@@hollyvanwye9294this was basically what i remembered and im glad im not the only one! i’ve heard a lot of book readers say armand hated lestat after they met, but i never got that impression. it seemed to me he just did all those awful things to him in retaliation of his rejection but would still be his companion if given the chance!
Part of what the show does incredibly well (and that mirrors the books) is that it subtly hints, and then later basically shouts, that you can't trust the narrator. This happens in the books as well, where lestat contradicts certain events in Louis's accounting etc. This misdirection is absolutely intentional, the story as Armand tells it is literally fanfiction 🤣
I loves Armands self insert fanfic of The Book of Lestat we need another chapter 😂😂😂😂
I'm definitely going more and more toward the fan theory that Alice = Armand and that's going to be a big reveals as Daniel's memories come back. AND I'M HERE FOR IT!
Oh, and at the very beginning I was all like 'Is that David?' and then the guy said he was 'Raglan James' and I was just all OOOOOOH NOOOOOO, SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
I still think it might be David’s body or David using a fake name of another Talamascan to test Daniel. Idk something is off because he just looks and sounds too much like David to me. But we’ll see haha
This was definitely one for the bookies! I jumped for joy when I saw Nicki! And omg Theatre Lestat!!! My heart burst! 😭✨✨ it was amazing! Sam Reid is 100% Lestat! It’s such a joy to see this come to life!
I prefer your version of calling them “children of the corn vampires “
This episode was wonderful. From Louie, and just the entire cast. Season 3 is a must.
I've never read the books. But I absolutely love this show it's now become one of my favorites. But I have a question about this Raglan James character you said he was a body thief, and that he switches bodies with Lestat which itself sounds so interesting wow I could totally see some comedy elements with that, like Lestat getting a bad case of food poisoning and diarrhea LOL. But anyways my question is does Raglan or anyone else try to switch bodies with anyone else important like Queen Akasha because I know she's like from the Queen Of The Damned book? Thank you for your wonderful videos.
No. I won't spoil the book for you in case you decide to read it, but Lestat is the only person he switched bodies with that the readers ever earn about. Well, besides the guy whose body he stole right before he trades with Lestat. Basically, IF I remember correctly, right before he & Lestat are supposed to meet up to do the ol' switcheroo, Raglan switches bodies with this big, buff, handsome East Indian (he'd described as Anglo-Indian in the book) cuz he knows he has to give Least an appealing body that is youthful & the equivalent of Lestat's body in beauty & strength in order for Lestat 2B enticed enough to go through with the switch. PLUS, Raglan. And I can't remember if the body Raglan had before he switched bodies with the Indian guy is the body Raglan was born with or the body of someone he never gave back, but in any case, that body is old & worn out, so after Raglan switches bodies with the Indian guy, I THINK he kills him, meaning he kills the old man body that he put the spirit of the young Indian in & Raglan is now the permanent owner of the Indian guy's body until he decides to switch again, which he does with Lestat. OR Raglan set the Indian guy --- now in Raglan's old body to take the wrap for some crime, but either way --- it's over for the Indian guy. He's dead before Raglan & Lestat switch up. But anyway, if you've ever seen the book the "Skeleton 💀 Key 🗝️," that movie somewhat gives you an idea of the implications of the soul transference in "Body Thief." Except in Body Thief the transference takes place due to psychic powers as opposed to voodoo/hoodoo 🧿📿.
But the book was good to me. But the ending was sad for Lestat, due to one of the humans he gets involved with in the middle of the book while he's human & then meets again near the end of the book. But then you instantly HATE Lestat --- in fact, I never really hated Lestat until the end of this book, but JUST this book --- even despite what he did to Claudia. But what he does at the end of this book to another main character who is his friend, had me in m feelings about Lestat for a few weeks after reading this book. He was MORE than a brat here ---- he was a STRAIGHT UP ASSHOLE!
@@dominiquedevereux7205 Oh ok wow that sounds so interesting and awesome thank you for explaining it.
@@YouMe-ru6wi Sure.
“Buddy comedy vampire freaky Friday” 😂😂😂 ACCURATE!
Came here for little nugget and boy this woman’s know everything about vampires and now I’m going get stuck here for while now .😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm so glad you acknowledge the fact that he said his name was Raglan James. In the book he was extremely good at getting what he wanted and very manipulative. I for one am curious if he's even really with the Talamasca anymore. I guess we will have to wait and find out how the writers of the show spin this one. All I will say is Oh Boy...he's definitely up to something.
All I will say is..based on this weeks episode is...I knew it!
Armand probably left out Gabrielle because he kind of despised her, to my understanding.
Great review! And thanks for throwing in information from the book. That was helpful.
another little Easter egg is the character at the next table as Louis and Armand are going back and forth about good and evil. Armand introduced him as Jean-Paul... that would be the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and his explanation of good and evil is more in line with his existentialist philosophy as opposed to Louis's agnosticism and Armands Christian-based philosophies...
I'm not a book reader, so this episode as well as the last one, were the most confusing of the entire series, I always have the feeling that I'm missing something. I'm glad there are people like you who have read the books and know how to explain the lore. I will definitely be back for the next episodes!
Okay a little Easter egg that I feel was a sly nod to True Blood was just mentioning Shreveport.
This definitely has to be my favorite episode so far this season keeps getting better and better 🔥, also gotta say after seeing the hell Lestat put Louis and Claudia through in Season 1 it felt so good to see Armand fling him around with his telekinesis like he was a ant under his boot , i was like yeah Lestat it doesn't feel so good getting b*tched around by someone more powerful than you does it 😂😂
This comment ❤
It's funny that I seen people kissing Lestat azz and fangirl over him when they know he abused and cheated on Louis and calling Claudia a mistake and was pathetically jealous of her. But hated Armand after watching this one episode?!?! Such hypocrites.
Or it's race (yes I am going to that route) because from my observation, if a white dude or girl is a villain, they are allowed because they are "hot." But if they aren't white, people automatically hate them, and are not easily forgiven (just look at some of the fandoms). But this is my observation, my opinion.
To be honest, most fandoms aren't too kind to people who aren't white characters.
@@user-cv3ke7so8e holding a prayer circle for all of us fans who are decidedly NOT lestat groupies in a fandom that seems to largely ignore the fact that his version of events is not any more trustworthy than louis/armand/claudia’s. also in light of the news that lestat and his mother/lover are the supposed to be the main characters for s3… rip louis and armand, the lead couple this season who have not been allowed to do any promo together 🥲 ok that’s enough ranting for now xx 🙃
Thanks. This is great. I missed the episode last night, and needed to catch up on what happened. I read the books many years ago, so kinda rusty. Thanks again. Good job.
So glad i found this channel ! 😍😍😍 Looking forward to seeing more breakdowns of the following episodes 😍😍
For me, it makes sense that in the show we see the relationship between armand and lestat being explicitely romanthic, because in the books Lestat in fact referes to Armand in words like: "that was love, that was desire, and I had never felt that way before, even not Gabrielle nor Nicholas were never so atractive to me" (sorry im spanish and my inglish is not so good). But yeah, I really think at some point Lestat felt in love with Armand and the writting of Anne Rice here is voluntarely ambiguous. Let's not forget that Lestat's version of the facts is also not entirely reliable and I always had the feeling that we were missing something in that scene that ends up with Armand basically abusing and trying to rape Lestat (feeding on him without his permision). After that, Lestat's vision of Armand changed forever, but I always saw it as Lestat feeling really betrayed and disapointed by someone that he had loved and idealized. I think that's why they aways have this relationship in the books that feels like a "from lovers to enemies".
If we're talking the talamasca...all bets are off.. literally anything could happen..for me i immediately think Merrick and her story but that is a million miles away...
Didn’t Armand kill Claudia and Madeline by putting them in a cell and letting the sun in?!??
Armand was not stronger than lestat they fought in the book and lestat beat him
I seem to also remember this (it's been years since I read it). And Didn't Armand have/use a lot of illusion powers? Is he doing some of that now, in the show too?
@@cliffrockalliance9071yes Armand even admits to Louis that he manipulated him to make Madeleine even tho Louis didn’t want to
I love your reviews - dying for your next take on Episode 4️⃣!! Armand is definitely manipulating the memories of Louis.. omg something is so OFF
who is the guy that told them to "shut up" at the cafe?...
I thought it might be life psychologist Jean Piaget, but I'm not sure.
Jean-Paul Sartre! A real-life, famous existentialist philosopher.
@@RixxeyG Thank you. That makes more sense. Now I want to pick up a copy of Existentialism is a Humanism.
@@booksgurrsandpurrsone of his books is on Louis’ bedside table in Dubai (during that quick shot of him sleeping early in the episode)!
@@RixxeyGoh
I was worried that Armand was going to kill Louis until he started fondling Louis's hair. He can't keep his hands off him like Lestat. Is anyone surprised that Louis invited Armand upstairs after telling him about his history with Lestat and Claudia not living for long? I wonder if Louis's motive is to seduce Armand to convince him not to tell the coven to kill Claudia. Do you think Armand really loves Louis or is he using him to get to Lestat? I know Lestat rejected him and I wonder if he sees Louis as a prize. On a side note, Louis did not look like he was into that kiss lol
Where did you get that drinking glass. I need a set of those in my life.
They’re the Batman Forever movie tie-in glasses from McDonalds. I found my set at a thrift store but you can also get them on eBay.
Stop making Lestat weak he the most powerful out there besides Queen. He beat Armand with in an inch of his life in the book. He the star of the whole series.
How would you like to be a vampire psychotherapist? Nooooo!
I like your reviews better than the show to be honest ❤
Lame
@@unbowedqueen understatement!..
🤨🤨
@@unbowedqueen f all the way off
No one who has read the books can have a good opinion about this series.
Equal bad as the queen of the damn movie from 2002.
This series is totally infested of wokeness and ignorance.
I am not a conservative, neither a purist. But this thing is trash.
I LOVE that we get to see Armand full power, flinging Lestat like he is nothing but a bug, it was awesome! I was a bit hurt that he didnt join the stage in the last episode, like in the book because that was one of my favorite scene in the book, but this episode make up for it! I love it! I was rooting for Armand, after what Lestat did with Louis and Claudia, it was a good feeling to see him being bullied by a powerful vampire! I love this episode, and it surprises me, this episode made me like tv version of Lestat more because it was so accurate to the book of him (I love Lestat in the books), especially him trolling the vampires with the cross, I laughed at that part, that's what Lestat in the book would've done to Armand's coven! Armand and Lesata scene in this episode was gold! And my sweet Claudia, she is too desperate to belong, to be love even when she knows joining the covenant will be dangerous. I cried in the end because of Louis and how he is so broken because of what Lestat did to him. And when he told Armand to say to Claudia eveyday that she is beautiful, I cried, I just want to hug him so bad!
The episodes keep getting better and better! I really prefer season two than one, this season is it!!!!❤❤❤
They are able to expand the story more since it is not being filmed during a pandemic and it seems AMC is willing to put the money into building the Universe. It seems only right it gets better by the episode...I feel the same as you, it's ascending to it's peak and I love it. Yes, our Dear Claudia, tragically sad, tragically happy. All of the cast is delivering top shelf performances. 🌷
In what book was Armand on stage?
Amazing review!
