Hi all!

After a brief break we have returned with the third Episode to Interview with the Vampire.

Watching Louis' internal conflict with his new reality and identity is fascinating!

Much love and I hope you all are well going in to the weekend!

I was just wondering where the hell is Sam! Sorry that you were hurt. How many concussions have you had? As many as Hudson Williams, which would be five... Racism is the great wound of my country. I think Appleton is a brand of Jamaican rum.

The hallmark of tragedy is inevitability. Tragic outcomes must happen due to the nature of the participants. It's fate. If they want to change the outcome, they have to change their nature. The first step of that change is identifying your current nature, thus the title ("Is My Very Nature That of The Devil?"). When you brought up abuse last time, so readily identifying Lestat's many forms of abuse of Louis, my first concern was: "How does Sam know that?" Abusive relationships arise from insecurities that provoke the desire for control. If you've experienced or witnessed such relationships, I want to compliment your level-headedness on the issue. You're a wonder, Sam.

Up until several years ago the word abuse typically described severe, clear-cut cases of physical violence, severe neglect, extreme psychological terror, etc. The word has held heavy moral condemnation. For me I'm not seeing abuse, as traditionally defined, here. I'm seeing that life is messy. Relationships are messy. We are messy. In any of our relationships one might see microaggressions, thoughtlessness, or levels of relationship friction. There can be volatility, immaturity, mismatched expectations, selfishness, even callousness. Right now I don't see cruelty with these guys. (Maybe passion that is a little out of control but trying to find its way?) All of those words-and more-describe the entertaining nuances of that relationship. Happily we get to sit back and eat popcorn as we observe these two immortals sorting out their behaviors, their choices, their very nature. I enjoyed your reaction Sam!

Well said— btw, I think he was referring to Atherton whiskey

Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson are both soooo fantastic in these roles. Jacob’s is the quieter performance, but he gives so much nuance. Side note- the New Orleans accent is supposed to be one of the most difficult to perform correctly, and Jacob is spot on, from what I’ve heard from NOLA natives. And watch Sam Reid’s body language when they’re discussing their ‘arrangement’ and Lestat says “of course, of course, of course, of COURSE!” (~21:35 in your video). You can tell he was seething with jealousy even then. ;)

I wouldnt count them real concussions as Hudson likely had. Ive never got knocked out for instance. But since this comment we can add another one from Tuesday

Sam Ham

Ok thanks for sharing. So you disagree with the current "usage" of the word abuse? And additionally Im getting from your comment that LeStat isnt manipulating Louis as such and does actually love him.

Sam Ham

❤️ as insightful and caring a comment as ever John :)

Sam Ham

Okay noted! Will pay attention to them going forward!

It does feel that the word abuse, of late, is used to describe things that it didn't traditionally describe. If my perception is correct, what that does for me is make the word less descriptive, less helpful. It flattens out the meaning because it now covers a broader range of behavior. To poorly paraphrase a saying, if everything is abuse, then nothing is abuse. To answer your question, I don't agree or disagree with the current use of the word, and my reason is that meanings of words change over time. As for our friends Louis and Lestat, there is a world of complexity going on there. I love experiencing the nuance of it all. In real life, I avoid couples like that because one of my life mottos is, "stay away from crazy." But it's entertaining as hell to see them sort out whatever they've got going on. I haven't read the books, so I can only base my reaction on the show. Sorry for being verbose--I admire succinct writers. :)

100%--Sam Reid played that moment so well. It stood for me.
