We had to wait an entire WEEK to hear the end of that sentence!! It was torture!

Totally agree with claudia about Louis and love 💯 he should had told her that armand knew the truth

Y'all are in for in for it. Starting with episode 5 it's all gas to the finale.

70 years with armand? i can think of worst ways to spend a life.

I am so looking forward to watching your next reaction, and the reactions to come, it's getting hot 🥵. 😊

Episode 5 comin' atcha. Can't wait. Buckle up for safety! 😁

Would LOVE to know your thoughts on Armand's backstory? Mainly because I felt like I didn't get much of your reaction to it in this video and I don't know if its because you didn't have much reaction to it or if its because you didn't quite understand it on first watch (which was very common for first time watches, a lot of people got confused because of his name and pronoun shifting and weren't sure if he was talking about himself the whole time). I ask because Armand is definitely terrible, but without a doubt just as fascinating a character as Louis, Lestat and Claudia imo. And the damage that being a victim of child sex trafficking and a prostitute for so long, on top of the hundreds of years of god knows what else, has done to his psyche and his relationship with control and other people in general, explain so much about the things we've seen him do. Not that it absolves him of course, in the same way that Lestat's childhood abuse and myriad of other experiences don't absolve him of being an abusive partner and guardian to Louis and Claudia. And how Louis' trauma and repression explain, but don't excuse some of his actions (chiefly the ones directly hurting Claudia). This show is a gothic romance, but at its core its a tale examining the cycles of abuse imo and that's super interesting to me! Also wanted to add this at the end, but what are your thoughts on Louis and Armand's dom/sub dynamic which was initiated in this episode? Again I ask because this is a semi-divisive topic within the fandom. People have drawn attention to the fact that its a problematic considering Louis past as a pimp and Armand's past as a sex worker, but I often feel like people use it as a way to demonize and fault Louis in ways that, considering Armand's lies and manipulation and abuse in retrospect, don't feel appropriate or strictly applicable imo. The way I've always read that bench scene and Loumand's relationship as a whole is always: illusion. Armand offering Louis the illusion of control in this dynamic while he's the one pulling strings and ultimately meting out punishment. And Louis having the illusion that he's in control of a situation that he's using to, before her death, keep Claudia and himself safe and then after her death, the illusion that he's punishing Lestat and Armand, when the reality is he's punishing himself as well and playing into Armand's own instability and desire for attention and love no matter how it comes. All this to say I know y'all are still reeling and processing the whole show, but DAMN I love all these characters! They're all awful and Claudia deserved better, but they are riveting...like little toxic molecules I'm examining in a microscope. Can't wait for your reaction to episode 5 in particular! Whole show is immaculate, but THAT is a standout episode for sure.

The thing that pissed me off about Claudia and Louis' fight is that in the most TECHNICAL of timeline he *did* choose Armand first. Armand found out the night before Claudia joined the coven and when he meant to tell her she first mentioned her history of SA with Bruce. It's understandable that he would want her to have something that finally made her happy but by NOT telling her she couldn't make a truly informed decision about still joining the coven. In that instance he DID choose Armand first and continued to.

Louis and Claudia are the protagonists but that doesn't mean they are innocent. Claudia planned the murder of her creator and Louis participated. They are criminals in the vampire world. Armand is quite soft with Claudia considering that he read her mind and knows perfectly well what she did to Lestat, also let's remember that Lestat is not only the founder of the vampire theater, he was also Armand's lover.

Episode 5 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

DISAGREE. DO NOT binge watch this show. There is a lot of important information you can miss by just rushing thru the entire season. And you need time to ride the emotional rollercoaster.

"Lestat energy with his and Armands relationship is good" its actually SO funny when you think that Lestats attitude only reflects Louis' real feelings with Armand. This Lestat (or "dreamstat", how jacob and sam called it) is made up by Louis inner thoughts.

I am glad you kept the 'shift of power' segment on the rainy park bench! so crucial....Louis use Armand's slave name Arun to 'trap him' into submission...................................but the pull of the coven is so much stronger! 🤫🤫.........forget I said that lol

They don't give you the coven rules until you join, but they hold vampires outside the coven to rules they wouldn't know without being in the coven.

Technically, louie, claudia and lestat were their own coven, so why is killing lestat a crime no different than Armand punishing his coven members with death. Armand is only leader of his coven and it happend in another country.

During the German invasion, and subsequent occupation of France, and specifically, Paris, many French citizens were starving and dying from illness and poverty. Desperate citizens often accepted food from the Germans in order to survive. It was a common occurrence for these individuals to be tormented, their businesses marred with graffiti (swastikas). Many people, especially women , were dragged through the streets, stripped and beaten and called Nazi sympathizers. While many of these accused were just trying to survive, there were other who blatantly or secretly were supporting the Germans. French designer Coco Chanel had a lengthy, love affair with a high-ranking Nazi official. She was fortunate enough to avoid the same backlash and temporarily escaped to Switzerland until the threat died down. People like Madeleine were not so fortunate and had no connections to prevent the harsh treatment received.

Are you going to watch the s3 teaser?

“Evil isn't born, Dearie. It's made.” Rumplestiltskin, Once Upon A Time. This episode is a heartbreaker as we hear both Claudia and Armand tell their stories.

The photo of the boy on crutches is an original by famed photographer and filmmaker, Gordon Parks. The image of Armand was taken the night Louis was taking a walk with him when the image of Lestat appeared. Louis took the photo while Lestat was in the frame, but when he developed the film, Lestat was not in the photo. You will notice Armand is on the far right of the frame because Louis was trying to capture Lestat in the photo. This is why the composition of the photo looks "weird" with the large space where Lestat was standing. The photo in Louis' portfolio is by another famous photographer, Fred Stein.

"You and Him, Him and You" "You and Fucking Him, Picked Another One Over me" 💔

In the book, Santiago is a known mimic. This is why he enjoys taunting Louis. Before Santiago was turned, he was known as British stage actor, Francis Norton.

So rugby, DUNE PROPHECY, Housewives, and a new reaction!! I'm getting my life today. lol. Another great reaction as the tale...as Louis would say...seduces you. Love you are side-eying Armand.

One of my favorite moments now that I’m rewatching through y’all, “you may not know this, but I had your initials inscribed in this suit”. Since dreamstat is Louis’ creation he knew 🙂‍↕️

That scene on the park bench, in the rain was soooo beautiful! Lestat slowly disappearing...The director stated that it was the hardest thing he had to film in season 2, tho.

I love y’all’s little talks at the end of the episode! Did yall see anything familiar with the play? Baby Lou-Daddy Lou Birds-Paul heard birds Baby Lou jumping from the window-Paul jumping from the roof I mean I think there was more than one reason why Louis didn’t like that play. I can’t wait for yall to see the next episode lol all the distrust of Armand will be earned!

Armand's strength and fragility is a crazy balancing act to play. I love how Assad managed it. He's viciously reactionary, with so much under the surface, just boiling. This episode has the line in it that is, imo, the key to his entire character. "No one has painted me in over 400 years." As he's speaking about not knowing what he is supposed to be. He has been defined by others and the expectations of others his entire existence. Louis' freedom and self-actualization (skewed as it may be by Lestat's effect on him) is intoxicating to him.

Thank you for the reactions! Your commentary is so interesting and relatable. And yes, I also think that Louis' hallucination of Lestat is meant to take us back to the beginning of their relationship. Louis still being stuck to that, I think, was meant to show us that Louis, amidst the bad and ugly, forgot the warmer moments and it's all coming back to him now too.

Oh is there a Patreon?! Take my money! 😂 I need your reaction to episode 5 immediately!

Also, some fantastic news... this doesn't need to be a spoiler-free comment section anymore! Speak your truth!

Madeline's story is very similar to Coco Chenel's

Whoever wrote Lestat's letter/monologue really did what they needed to do, because I remember first watching that scene and being emotionally enraptured by his words, only for the haunting and looming threat of the letter to sink in just moments after. Where are the Emmy's????

Y'all got me. I thought we had a new episode :) waiting on deck for that next drop
