I didn't see Lestat swaying after saving Louis (another reason to re-watch), but it definitely seemed like a sustained effort that took a lot out of him. Every time he defies the script or personally appeals to the audience, it seems like he is creating building blocks to save Louis. Even the homophobe getting owned isn't just about catharsis. It goes to convincing him and the audience that there is nothing shameful about this love story, and anyone who judges it shameful isn't worth listening to. It makes me wonder just how much energy he put into "having fun" with those soldiers out of spite back in S1. This kind of working causes him enough pain to make his ears bleed. I can imagine that he just didn't have enough juice to save Claudia and that it will haunt him. It was never in question who he would choose first, but he definitely loved her. I think this changed my mind about whether he tried at all. Edit: On second thought, I don't know if he actually tried to save Claudia because her sentencing came first and there was no hesitation from him or the audience. I think he saved everything he had for Louis because if they had sensed him trying to save Claudia and he failed, he'd have had no room to save Louis. And in this trial just as in the interview, Louis is the more sympathetic vampire. The entire narrative Lestat is painting is that Louis deserves to be spared. He doesn't do that for Claudia in the same way, not even close. So I think his guilt is from creating the perfect vampire in the body of a child and not having the tools to love her without resentment. I think he was okay with her dying until he saw her death. She was his child and his rival for Louis. And he knows shes responsible for his death because Louis didn't have it in him. I dont believe he ever tried to save her. And that doesn't take away from how much he loved her or his regret for both of her deaths.

And that is part of why he has also felt such immense guilt for years.

Lmao and I’m an Armand lover!!! But that love has officially been tested and cracks have been found!!

This episode broke my heart in so many ways, Autumn. It's the fact that Louis is 100% a victim but also has some responsiblility as well because he is also a manipulative vampire and an unreliable narrator too. It doesn't excuse anything Lestat did because nothing will, but it explains why Louis forgives him over and over and still loves him. They're vampires, they are going to say and do horrible things to each other and forgive each other for a thousand years. Otherwise they would have nobody and be bored all the time. I liked that Lestat took responsibility for the drop and apologized. It is different for Claudia than it is Louis though, so I don't think she'd ever forgive him. It also breaks my heart that Claudia finallly had someone pick her and then she died. It was never about her, like she said, because Louis and Lestat were never going to love her like they love each other but Clauida finally had the Louis to her Lestat, and it was even healtier than theirs, but she didn't get to keep it. :( F THESE VAMPIRES. The rocks that they put in Louis's coffin look like the same ones from his little zen garden in Dubai. Reminded me of 1x01 when Daniel asked Louis where his coffin was and Louis said "you're standing in it" so... uh, are we still in that coffin, Louis? Is it self imposed because you're trying to unalive yourself? Or is someone else buried under those rocks? IDK, I have too many questions and theories!! Lastly, I just want to give a shoutout to the JAM REIDERSON chemistry because even though there hasn't been that much interaction betweeen them compared to season one, for obvious reasons, it's somehow more intense and still like watching a bomb go off. Though, I know Jacob has chemistry with everyone and would have it with a brick wall, so I'm not saying it's not there with Assad. Jam is just my favorite. I am a loustat person.

I think the reason they put Claudia in the rat box was BECAUSE she was part of the coven. Yeah, they had a problem with Louis, but he was a lone vampire, not in the coven. Claudia had taken an oath when she joined the coven, and she broke them. That probably is cause for worse punishment in their eyes. She should have never joined that coven and left with Louis when he asked her to.

Every week, this show is an emotional nuke directed right to the heart. It's the most brilliantly written and performed TV show on the air right now. I send hugs over Claudia's death!

Autumn, firstly, my thanks and appreciation for your family's contribution to your intro segment. I think that bit of levity before this episode was needed. Secondly, I just have to say Ben's performance as L'Advocat Santiago was pure brilliant pantomime. With Sam and Ben playing off well as dualing divas (Move over Carlotta and Christine! - Phantom reference.), there was great performances all round! When Anne wrote this book while still experiencing the near grief of losing her daughter, she wanted her readers to experience that profound loss as well. I think it may have also helped bring Stan & Anne closer together. There's a startling statistic that 3/4 of marriages will end in divorce or experience marital difficulty when one of their children (in this case, only child at the time). Anne was raised Catholic so I don't think it would end in divorce but if she hadn't written down what she was feeling, Stan might've found it harder to connect with her. The writers did a phenomenal job with this in 2 short seasons. Great reaction, Autumn, thank you! For those who have read the books, we look forward to the final episode this season with righteous indignation. Thank goodness, there's a season 3. I just hope we don't have to wait till 2026 to see it.

I hope we see Lestat's POV during the trial especially when he was staring at Claudia. Not sure if I was just mishearing but I think Claudia said Uncle Les before she turned ash

58:20 - THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID ON TUMBLR! If Arnand wasn't a selfish ass and teamed up with Lestat instead of trying to sabotage him, THEY COULD HAVE TAKEN THE WHOLE COVEN OUT TOGETHER EASY. But nooooo. He wouldn't want that. He wants Louis to hate Lestat.

Omg!!! How are you securing these interviews!

When we see Sam's guarding Armand, we also see (especially in the first shot of him there) that he's holding scythe. The coven is also slow a few times to silence outbursts from Claudia and Louis and Lestat going off-script. What if Armand's achilles tendons were also cut, so he'd be slow enough Sam really could behead him with that scythe? What if the coven was also doing mental battle on Armand? When we see Lestat in S1 make all the soldiers leave the home, he gets a nose bleed. Armand is stronger, but this is a larger building with many more people with heightened emotions. It's believable he couldn't pull the banishment hypnosis trick enough to save all three of them. And if he let Claudia live but not Madeline, Claudia really would throw herself into a fire like Armand told Madeline she eventually would, and that might have been even worse for Louis's mental health. If this happened, would you forgive Armand? I do.

He wasnt at full strength and was visibly unwell to me. Previously i thought it was mental stress, i forgot how weak he was after the attempted murder.

Masterful episode…I think we are going to see Armand tell the TVA version of events. The fact he tried to reanimate Claudia will cause Louis to capitulate and leave for good. There has been foreshadowing with him asking the question what if she had a woman’s body…The preview seems to go there too.

We DID miss you this week!! I was thinking about you as I watched Sunday’s episode. It was just too much to handle…..only one more to go, and season 3 confirmed. Best week eva!!!!

I missed you guys too!! I genuinely considered skipping the trip so I could keep a consistent schedule, but I needed a trip to the ocean like a Victorian Lady for some refreshing sea air after the trial episode

How did you interview with Sam without screaming and jumping from happiness??? I mean, that's hard 🫢🫣😁 THANKS GIRLLLL💋💋❤️

OMG why did this drop while I’m at work!!! Can’t WAIT for this gut wrenching analysis but I’m also NOT ready…..😢

Lol I’m not gonna lie; there not a lot of analysis going on in this one- mainly just heartbreak and tears and questioning “why god why”, but I can’t wait to hear from you when you’re off work!

The amount of crying that I’ve done over this episode and over your reaction is so wild…didn’t think I had so many tears to shed …perspective is the key word for this episode. The way I went from loving and hating Louis, Lestat, and even Armand…😵 Claudia deserved so much more than this tragic end. She was right, “Fuck these vampires!” Also….SAM REID!!!!!! I will not survive that video…

​@@MxMelissa6she went from loving their "vampire pride", saying she never wanted to hunt alone again, and telling Louis to mind his business when he warned her they were dangerous, to "fuck these vampires". Maybe she should have listened to Lestat and Louis in the first place.

Valid points. Claudia is a flawed character, much like the rest of the vampires in this universe. Should she have listened to the warnings? Yup! But it can be hard to see the reality when feeling the elation of being a part of community.

that intro hahahaha howre you feeling about S3 tvl reveal too girl!??!

I am dead, Autumn. You and this show have killed me! This episode has drained me to the point of death and then to be uplifted by seeing Dr. Sam Reid there at the end about to dish out some therapy to you has struck the final blow! Sam motherfreaking Lestat Reid! Glad I get KZread in the afterlife, or I'd find a way to come back to watch this! Lol sorry for the goofiness. I am just over the moon seeing you have one of your delightful interviews with Sam! ❤❤❤

i got up and threw my tissue box at the wall and then screamed at it for 20 minutes after this episode ended, you are a trooper shout out to you for keeping it together as well as you did.

omg sam next? please be jacob in the finale, please!!!

8:31 At first I was wondering why everyone was so shocked and worried about this I was like she's a vampire and they're rats she can handle herself She could probably even have a decent meal But I guess it would be kind of scary and gross

@EmeraldRoseDragon

Probably the visceral disgust of being trapped and overrun by rats

My predictions for episode eight I think all of this is going to really trigger Louis in the present day as well as it did in the past and he’s gonna snap in Dubai and that can cause a lot of problems for the three of them. Daniel could get hurt which could be why he gets if he does. I just have this feeling that Armand is gonna have to save him again. More than likely if that is the case, they will reunite as a result. Louis is definitely more than likely going to go back to New Orleans just like in the book.

I have been waiting for this reaction all week, and you post this 5 mins before my hour break ends, lol😂. Now I'm gonna be tortured for the next five hours waiting to get home and watch 😢

LFG your reaction is the one i was waiting on the most 🙌, i can't wait for next week's episode i wanna see Louis turn all these vampires into Kentucky Fried Chicken extra crispy it's gonna be glorious 😂

Holy crap, guys, what if *Louis* is the one who drops Lestat from a tower on the show? What if Armand is keeping him in a tower and Louis decides on a little tit for tat? That would go a long way toward explaining forgiveness, if he was guilty of something just as bad. And the revelation that they BOTH went back to their abusers. Lestat even endured a second beating just so he could go back. They're so twisted. I LOVE IT!

43:51 I don't believe for a second that Claudia chose to sing that song that she died because why would she I think it's another obvious false memory or manipulation of the facts by Armand

Thats what I had to keep telling myself while working on this video because I really heavily considered NOT uploading because I was embarrassed by how much I cried. I just had to say “but everyone else did too, so it’s ok.” 💛

😢 the special VFX or CGI or whatever thing they threw in there to have the scene where we can see Claudia & Madeline got burnt, roasted, and turned to ashes is so well done! Watching the entire scene of it happened on screen is actually heart breaking 💔

So glad I found your channel 😊👍🏾

I need to rewatch it now, and episode 5

Holy shit what an episode. Absolutely loving how were constantly shifting from unreliable narrator to unreliable narrator. That fucking ending scene made me bawl my eyes out i just

Glad to see ya back. I have conflicting thoughts about the physical/mental state in the episode. He gave a monotone delivery of some of his lines about Niki, but in the blink of an eye was in the balcony. Special place in hell for Santigo just sayin.

When I started watching and you said no crying. I agreed. There would be sobbing! Loved family participation.

i have been EAGERLY awaiting your reaction omg 😍

Ahhhhhhh!!! Autumn. I have waited light years for your reaction to drop. It was truly worth the wait!! This episode wrecked me as well, and I don't generally break into tears over fiction. But Madeline and Claudia!! They are the love story for the ages. . .the kind that want to make you believe in love. Some part of me believes that they were also being punished because the other vampires including Claudia's dads or dad's bf would never ever have what Claudia and Madeline have. Also I really love your take that Lestat and Armand, must have made a pact to save Louis and sacrifice Claudia. . . because someone needed to die to please the coven. I absolutely love that no matter if you are book fan or a non-book fan, everyone wants to strangle Armand in this episode whenever he starts saying something 😂😂😂. I mean I am a Armand girlie through and through, and even I was like bitch stop talking. Someone pointed out on insta or reddit (sorry don't remember) that Lestat wearing stripes this episode, is to signify that he is caged, being forced to say those things. And I thought that's a cool design/costume detail. Also SAM REID INTERVIEW!! Are you fucking kidding!! CANNOT KEEP CALM!!! P.S - I salute you for taking even one sip of that punishment juice. Even hearing the recipe sounded punishing to me!!

I eagerly await ur review on the season finale. I’ll hold spoilers to myself until then.

When Sam said your name 🤯🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠❤️❤️💀

Ok so i just watched your reaction to this last Episode on my TV i enjoyed it :) & I gasped at the very end of the surprise guest you'll be interviewing in excitement..... SAM REID!!! :)

Episode 8 title predictions anyone? Mine is “I assume I need no introduction” I’m praying for a present day Lestat at the end!
