It still feels like it's done at a bit of an arm's length (though maybe it's because that's how Lestat manages his more serious feelings) but I'm glad we see (and hear) him finally directing confronting some things.

this is just lestat going through the core experience of not being trained enough at your new job and then being blamed when you inevitably do something wrong. losing my mind at marius going ‘yeah akasha may never talk to you at all that’s just how it goes. might take decades’ and as soon as he leaves akasha’s like ‘oh thank GOD. hey girl.’ every dm scene is like: diversity win! the sleep paralysis demon who sits at the foot of your bed every night is desperately in love with you. also notice armand started bartering with hot gossip about lestat and vampire powers to interrupt daniel rejecting him lol gabriella being pissed about having to act interested in her 3yo's stick collection, followed by lestat excitedly showing akasha his ice cream scoop..... i won’t lie to you all these number 8s are starting to make me feel like the secret sherlock episode people like what is going on. the scene where lestat gently corrects his child self is i think a callback to the part of the book where he says that being corrected while at the monastery made him “intensely happy” because it was the first time in his life that someone considered him capable of learning and becoming a good person. ouch! well i was asking for more loustat and then they gave it to me and heavens know i'm miserable now. their whole conversation is very much parents grieving a child in different ways actually. oh my god the piano version of The Fantasy of Happiness playing while he's talking to regina....... and even 70 years later he still remembers the sound of her heartbeat….. i have to stop watching this show. i can’t even talk about the song. had to walk it off again. sheila atim is soooo good as akasha i don’t think i blinked during her entire monologue so armand did the steps and came out more evil, love that for him! just sitting here serving face after pushing a man to his death lol

Armand is back with the best weapon in his arsenal: talking somebody into killing themselves. And it might even be for a good cause is the funny thing, because Armand is the only one going "hey all these new surplus vampires happening because of Lestat's music is pretty fucked right? Like I'm pretty sure he's becoming the harbinger of the apocalypse and nobody else is doing anything about it so I guess I have to."

So it has become quite clear that they've had to reshuffle and carve up some things from the source material to tell the story the show wants to tell, and as a book reader I'm just going to have to live with the necessary evil. That's not to say I think this episode or the rest of the season is bad, far from it. But I am unfortunately lamenting a lot of the things they have had to change. Thus is the nature of adaptation and I am very interested in seeing how they land the plane in the next two episodes.

"thomas pitty he's a whore" - "tis pity she's a whore" by john ford. lestat having louis’ number saved under a reference to an incestuous tragedy about a man who becomes obsessed with his sister

Saw a take the other day where it said that Lestat was going out in the Sun to sing the '...who dies and who stays alive....' bit because the scream from burning in the Sun was evocative of Claudia's screams as she died before him, basically at Armand's hand (or at least without him trying to stop it). Not sure if that was the point, but now that bit of the song ABSOLUTELY WRECKS ME nonetheless.

Flabbergasted every week at how the iwtv/tvl universe is everything out of my wildest dreams for queer tv! How is it real!! What did I do to deserve this!! And I get to watch it alongside thoughtful, hilarious people 😭 Anyway this episode broke my heart and my brain too (complimentary)

Lemuel is the name of Louis' lawyer & situationship (=Louis has sex with him, but they are not a couple, Louis appreciates him for being 'emotionally unavailable'). We see Lemuel negotiating with Christine in EP2, calling Louis to ask if he is safe in EP3 & his photo was shown to Regina in EP4.
