    For all of the heavy stuff in this episode, they actually put quite a few humorous moments in it. I personally found the part where Lestat is holding his plank of wood/piano key board and he says "Siri pause" was pretty fucking funny. Having an over two hundred year old vampire say "Siri pause" is so ridiculous.

Claudia was doomed from the start, no matter what, and Anne Rice did that intentionally, there was no way to save her own child from disease, there was no way to save Claudia

    Okay...now I want a mini Season 2.5 just about The Vampire Sam😂😂 Coz wtf?? Sam infiltrating the vampire covens to spy for the Talamasca and then retiring as a DJ (if that's even true) has to be one of my favourite side quests ever 😂
    Will we EVER get the justice we need against Bruce??? I can't stand the idea that he might still be out there after all this time 😠
    That entire scene in present day New Orleans left me shattered! I wanted to be mad at Lestat for not telling Louis but let's be for real, with what we know about Louis' personality I don't think it would have made much of a difference. I think he knew Armand had already implanted false memories into his mind and Lestat did genuinely believe that if Louis wanted to leave him he wouldn't stop him.
    But we're still missing some context between what happened to Lestat after Paris and all the way till now in present day. Why did he suddenly switch to eating rats and living in squalor? He still had a lot of money right?
    Why did he trust Armand to call him to tell him about Louis in the 70s when he already knew everything was all Armand's plan to keep Louis for himself?
    And putting Daniel's turning aside, why was the Talamasca even interested in adding those particular questions into the interview? Surely it would interest them more to find out the depth of Lestat and Armand's powers linking all the way back to ancient blood in them more right?
    Did Sam himself write those questions as some kind of "dun dun duunnnn!!" moment since he's such a theatre nerd?😂 There were way more important things to ask about besides Armand lying about his involvement in the trial!

  • @001dipstick

    Absolutely LOVED this finale and this closing act of the initial IWTV story. There was a perfect balance between justice, unmasking, and redemption for all of the main characters and Claudia - my Claudia, my light - was finally laid to rest. Her yellow dress was a beautiful memorial headstone in Louis’ home.
    Claudia really is the beating heart of this story. And she was often cast aside, ignored, and neglected. And that’s THE POINT. That you can love someone so much and realize it too late. That someone can be both the center of your world and a mirror for your own self-indulgence. That’s why Louis’ anger at Armand after the plot twist isn’t “casting away” Claudia - they were _all_ complicit in her execution. Armand was the only member of the love triangle who didn’t give a shit about her, and his true role as overseer made that clear.
    Throughout the show, the characters wrestle with love and grief, love and abuse, love and complicity and episode 8 shows that all can coexist. Lestat’s abuse doesn’t invalidate his love for Louis or his grief over Claudia. Louis’ complicity in Claudia’s creation doesn’t invalidate his deep, enduring love for her. Even love for New Orleans where so much trauma and transformation took place. Like all human things, love is elusive. It’s complex. It’s beautiful. It’s painful. And at the end of the day, this is a love story.
    IWTV is an incredibly rich creation and Bobbi, you analyzed it with such nuance, thought, and patience. I’m so happy we had your recaps to look forward to every week!

    I'm pretty sure Armand knew that Louis was going to kill the coven. That's why he let him out of the coffin. He used Louis rage as a weapon to destroy the coven.
    I have a feeling that Louis and Armand were going to either kill or forcibly turn Daniel after the final interview. They said something about having something special for him at the dinner. It sounded kinda ominous. Raglan James told Daniel that four people had previously tried to interview them and they were all either dead or undead. I think that's what they may have had planned for Daniel.
    I'm pretty sure Real Rashid hauled ass out of there after he delivered the scripts to Daniel. His cover was about to be blown.
    I feel that the last scene where Louis challenges the vampires to come get him was less about swagger or trying to be tough and more about Louis finally embracing his vampire nature.

      I agree with everything, but Armand had the plan to change Daniel. Louis, according to Jacob, viewed Daniel as an "annoying little brother" and appreciated the bond they developed. Armand always had it out for Daniel in the series. He was a threat. When he exposed Lestat saving him and the notes in the script, Armand looked at him with fury.

    I've actually seen some ppl questioning Daniel's age, but tbh being turned into a vampire at an older age doesn't really matter. Mostly it's just an aesthetic thing.
    We're all so afraid of getting old we can't imagine being 'stuck' as old forever, even though despite how you look you would be healthier and stronger than any human 25yr old, see better, smell better, move faster, heal faster, etc.

    Great review again. What a fantastic episode and what I loved the most was the score. Daniel Hart really went above and beyond this episode. I haven’t read any of the books but I think Armand was always going to save Louis anyway even if he had been sentenced to death in that trial. He would have used some last minute loophole to let only Louis off the hook. He wanted Claudia dead so he could have Louis to all to himself. He would have found some way to save him and then come off looking like the benevolent one. But the ever unpredictable Lestat beat him to it so what does a cunning opportunist like Armand do? He immediately improvised his plan on the spot. This was an even better storyline in his script. And would make Louis even more indebted and bonded to him. He even retold it as him straining to use all his powers and strength to save only Louis.
    I might be wrong though. Thanks again for the review.

    Lestat had a lot of reflection to do regarding his past with Louis and Claudia. He had over 70 years to reflect on what he did and how he lost the love of his life. He didn’t know if Louis would ever return. He was living like Louis was when Claudia left in season one. I hope this will be a lesson for the both of them regarding relationships, but if you read the books Lestat cannot stay out of trouble. I am assuming Lestat when he left Armand he found Akisha then went to New Orleans. I wonder if we will see that in season three.

    I dont see it as Armond did nothing to save Claudia. I see it as Armond killed her.
    The play was staged to guarantee its resolution and Armond had a hand in that.

    Can someone please tell me Did Armand actually Love Louis because before this episode I genuinely thought he loved him but after finding out he was willing to let Louis Die, I can't say that anymore.

      In a very weird way, I think he absolutely did love Louis but like Lestat, doesn't know how to love properly. I think Armand thought he couldn't count on Louis' love so instead of just letting him go, he didn't stand in the way him getting destroyed. But like Daniel said, when he saw an opportunity to make himself look better to Louis, he was able to keep him tied to him for 77 years.

      In the book Armand was looking for a Companion to help him transition to a new age. But Louis wanted nothing to do with him. This relationship didn't happen in the book.

    For a while there i expected Louis to pull the biggest king move and finish the interview, count up how many years he and Armand have been together, and go, "Seventy-seven, huh? I think Lestat is appropriately punished now. Armand, its your turn. I haven't fogotten shit, i never loved you, this was always about spite, theres the door. Btw ive already had Rashid change the locks."

      Louis isn't powerful enough to kill Armand. Funny how everyone can remember Armand's a powerful vampire when they want him to do something for them but not when he's more powerful than their fave. Armand is literally the reason Louis is as strong as he is atm.

    Just a thought - Armand conspired to bring Lestat back to Paris to execute Claudia and Louis; could it be that he did so in order to re-unite with Lestat? Don't forget, Armand had a hand in Nicky's death too. He's trying to clear a path for himself back to Lestat.

    I don’t like what they did to Armand’s character in the finale. His actions in the finale completely contradict everything he’s done throughout the season. Not only did it hurt Armand’s characterization but Lestat’s. It felt like a cheap excuse for a twist from the writers. They should have just followed the book’s ending. Rolin Jones admitted the other writers weren’t initially on board with his decision to not follow the original book ending. Also I think they took away from Claudia being the emotional focus of the finale. The writing in the show was so good until the finale, it really felt like a step down. A lot of the moments in the finale didn’t feel earned. Weakest episode of the season and maybe of the whole show, in my opinion.

      @@yvettelang1961 I’m not talking about Loumand being endgame. I know Louis is with Lestat and Armand is with Daniel. In the books, Armand does save Louis, that’s what I’m talking about. If Armand was okay with Louis dying, why didn’t Armand just kill him in the sewer when the Coven wanted that earlier in the season? Why did he rescue Louis out of the wall when the Coven was still around? Santiago was the true villain when it comes to the trial but the finale episode really takes away from that. Also, Lestat in the book really had no control over the situation regarding Claudia’s death, whereas in the show he has some power and controls the audience during the trial. It leaves the question of why didn’t Lestat save Claudia? Why did Lestat let Louis leave with Armand? Especially when they made it known Lestat is basically as powerful if not more powerful than Armand by him saying he has the blood of not just Magnus but Akasha. In that case, he could have saved Claudia. It makes it hard to understand Loustat’s reconciliation at the end of the episode. They made it more about Louis thanking Lestat for the dark gift when the loss of Claudia should’ve have been the main focus during this episode. Also, in the book, there was genuine love between Louis and Armand at some point during their relationship, whereas here the relationship is completely out of spite. It just doesn’t make any sense narratively. Also how are we supposed to root for Armand and Daniel when Armand made him out of spite towards Louis? It really takes out the complexity of Armand’s characterization who will do whatever he has to do to receive love. The almighty ancient and powerful Armand was just a passive bystander all along??? When previous episodes showed how powerful, badass, cold, and calculating he actually was? Armand controlled the whole Coven in the restaurant but didn’t do anything during the trial? Even though he’s more powerful than all of them? The writers instead made Armand into a doormat. Overall, it would have all made more sense for the loss of Claudia to overwhelm Louis and how yes, the idea that Armand could have saved Claudia, to get Louis to leave Armand and go back to NOLA. Also, it makes no sense why Louis is mentally okay and already content with himself when he just found out his partner of 7 decades wasn’t the person who saved him and actually was involved in Claudia’s execution. Realistically, he would have been in Kendall Roy-level trenches. This episode really contradicted so many decisions made during previous episodes.
