INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (02x07) *REACTION* "I COULD NOT PREVENT IT"

Read the books. There is a LOT more going on here than you think. Many different POV's and never be sure what you are hearing is the exact truth.

This episode is so powerful. The a ting by this cast ins the best on TV and I have no idea where this story is going next because they are not doing the book as written. It's wild that even now Louis is changing his story on that fight with Lestat and the how Claudia was turned. His memory is a bowl of mush. We can't trust Armand because his only goal is to hold on to Louis no matter what lies he has to tell. And Lestat is being manipulated by the coven. The o ly person we could trust ro tell an accurate story is Claudia because of her diaries. All these main characters left are liars we're left trying to figure out what's true.

I'm on Lestats ass I'm so sorry when Claudia went "Can I cry and say that I'm sorry too?" broke me. Fuck him( Fuck Armand aswell to be clear) . This wasn't a trial it was a lynching. I felt like I was Nancy from The Craft when he apologized. "He's sorry, He's sorry ..etc." Louis literally say I will choke you like you did our daughter. he put his hand on Claudia . On a more intellectual note: The writers have made anti-blackness so omnipresent at that trial, from Santiago mocking reading of Claudia's diaries and painting Louis in predatory stereotypes, nailing them to the stage-like set dressing and showing leniency only towards Madeleine, to calling it a stoning. The dehumanization of the pictures on the projection screen. “props, props in a play” black bodies objectified, ankles cut like they’re enslaved, tortured any time they try to speak or defend themselves while the white-majority crowd jeers and laughs and sighs over the nonblack men spinning their tale. Im not an Armand defender. I am an Armand enjoyer. Every time people are like “Why would Armand do this” I feel like we haven’t really reckoned with the mindfuck that is his existence. I truly believe that is giving him way too much credit. He is a liar but so is everyone in the show, he isn't special. I think it was incredible and deliberate that the writers took one of the most defining lines of Armand's inaction ("I could not prevent it") and weaved it through his entire psychological profile. It is where Armand has internalized learned helplessness. Even in the book Louis has to tell Armand that he doesn't even use a 10th of the power he has. He could have stopped it but Armand himself doesn't think he can so he doesn't do anything at all. Most people watching/ reading IWTV: There is no way that Armand truly believes he's powerless The Writers: What If he really did tho? “It’s not MY coven anymore, so I can’t stop them, but Louis is MY companion so I’M gonna push and save HIM. I can’t save Claudia, Santiago is HER coven leader now. I can’t prevent him from disciplining his followers.” He tells himself over and over and makes sure Louis knows it

I love Armand but I don’t believe anything he says

Speaking of Orphan Black lol if you guys haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it! Now the spin-off, the original show!

I already commented on the YouTube edit of this (as well as responding to a couple of other commenters) because this episode was just too good. I watched it yesterday, the full length watch along here when I got home from work and the YouTube edit. I think I may be a masochist. 😩 I did want to say that you guys are amazing! Ignore anyone who comments anything differently. The world is full of ignorant people who don't mind parading their idiocy- especially when they can remain fairly anonymous in an online capacity. You two bring so much happiness and entertainment with every video that you put out. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don't understand how you can adore lestat he contribute to Claudia death. He shouldn't have made here even if Louis was begging him to. He knew it was a bad idea but he did it anyways. He didn't have to abuse her use her to make Louis happy. No one cared for Claudia so none of them deserve sympathy not even Louis or Armand. Also lestat was definitely involved in it. he could have said something to help both of them all the time he was walking around freely breaking out of character he could have done something.

This was one of the most painful & beautifully heartbreaking hours of television I’ve ever witnessed. The actors, the writers, set designers, costuming everyone F*cking Devoured!!!

Paris Hardy

“Well we are going to sulk and cry” yeah me too 😭 I just kept waiting for Lestat to stop the trial and for him and Louis to embrace but it didn’t happen

Hannah Cole

I literally wept from start to finish and I was yelling at my phone saying I’m gonna get you punk ass Santiago hahah but like all I know is Louis is gonna get revenge but my heart hurts without Claudia
