FIRST TIME WATCHING "IWTV" S2, EP7 (REACTION)

Comments

I love how they blended both books to give a more nuanced version of the story. Also, notice how in the original fight scene, not a scratch on Lestat but with this addition to the story, he is also very hurt too. I'm not saying Lestat was right in all his actions but Louis wasn't guiltless in their fucked up dynamic.

💔🫂 Aw

CaramelKittyKat

This episode pmo off so bad. Like why tf did they have to do that to them??? They were fucking leaving. Claudia deserved so much better . Poor Madeline 😥😥😥

Ana

This episode traumatised me so bad that I dreamt about it twice and woke up crying both times😭😭

Alffe

the fact that claudia died thinking lestat was responsible just keeps me up at night

femi

Of course he's going to be shocked. No one is just going to expect someone they're intimate with, who claims they love them, to put them on trial for murder, and kill their daughter. Essentially 'lynch' them! Doesn't matter the red flags, it's betrayal, of course you're gonna feel betrayed... And Louis did not "run back to Lestat", where did you get that from. He literally punished all 3 of them, for 70+yrs and then STILL didn't go back to Lestat after that. He stayed alone, for as long as he needs to, to heal. And of course he's going to save Louis, not Claudia. First because Louis is his companion, and Claudia hated his guts. But because if he saved Claudia, he wouldn't have been able to save Louis or Madeleine, and they would've then killed Claudia anyways. So by saving Louis, he was at least able to truly save one of them. If he had "saved" Claudia, then he'd have just subjected her to be locked in a coffin, covered in rocks, having to feel both Madeleine and Louis' death, able to do absolutely nothing. Than she would have just slowly been left to starve to death. Why would you wish that on her. Dying, in her lovers arms is a mercy, compared to that horror. Why not talk about Armands hand in all of this?? Why is he getting a complete pass from you.

Elliot Alderson

honestly im just here to not cry alone lol

artemys

HUH???? Let’s talk because what do you mean?????

Zariah Sams

I’m sorry but, Lestat is right! I need to find my tribe because I need to DISCUSS! 😭😭

lunarspice

When Zzavid called us sick for watching reactions to the show….i felt that….😭 yes…you’re right…we are sick in the head lmao.

Shanique Wallace

lawddd. this was hard to rewatch. my poor bby claudia ☹️💔

chiap3ts

the Ashley Tisdale representation. 😭😭 also dang you look good in a turtleneck

UrDapperLibra

I was so concerned when you start to cry 3 mins in lol

131

But the PINSTRIPES. Mans was in mental JAIL y’all!

K Monroe

I hate that Louis is shocked about Armand’s betrayal because GURL there where MULTIPLE RED FLAGS and to run back to lestat….like claudia needs to haunt all of them DOWN also the fact that lestat had an opportunity to save his man or his child and chose his man is so foul

prettycinepile

I am so, so sorry. 😞 😢

Rebecca Hopkins

Listen...that part about the rats....PTSD.

Lady-ish

like the audacity to look so fucking chic for a SLAUGHTER... like I need that suit

Daviid

🤣🤣🤣

LaTrese Harris

Yesss 😆

Jade Madison

Lestat showing up in the sleakest freakum suit to help them massacre my girl!! LOOK AT HOW THEY MASSACRED MY GIRLLLLLLL!!!

Dri

I feel like the trial was lowkey unwilling👀

Himindabank

I felt that. I just instantly think of the red head teacher from Scary Movie 🤣😂🤣. It plays on a loop in my mind whenever Armand speaks.

LaTrese Harris

Every time Armand chimes in I start yelling at my screen and have to rewind to catch what I missed during my fit 🤬🔪😅

Jade Madison

Not Armand trying to get Louis out of paying child support. Shady bitch. I'm about to throw myself in the grave at her funeral. Jesus why, tell me why! 😭

Amy J

LMFAOOOOO I’m telling you this show will drain the life force out of you

Daviid

The emotional rollercoaster I just went with you on in the last 52 minutes :')

Cornelius

This is somehow one of the best episodes ever made but also one of the WORST episodes ever made omg... Claudia looking to Lestat for comfort in her final moments because he was the only one left on that stage that ever loved her :((( MY SHAYLAAAAA 😭 Also Fuck all these racist bitches in the coven and in the audience cus hall loved her when she sang and danced for u !!!! hope theyre all DEAD!!!!

Audrey

great reaction! omg the moment you started playing the song at the end though, cracked me the fuck up. hahahaha XD I burst out laughing! But I also cried with you throughout it. That just took me off guard, lol, I didn't think you would actually show it playing, haha.

mesh tee

like it still gets me to this day

Daviid

i just finished the Sopranos lol it's so good. Your reaction to Claudia was all of us, rip the queen <3

Des Bethea

oh also love, when you get to the last episode wait until the end of the credits for the season 3 teaser trailer

meg thomas

yasss it makes me so happy to know you love the sopranos, one of my faves. your taste in movies and shows never ceases to amaze me ♥

meg thomas

You want spoilers to the novels?! XD

HotCuppa TeaImp

Could you please elaborate for the ones (me) who haven't read the books ? Thank you queen 🫢

OhsoIcannotbehere.

Not at all! Next time show us the beautiful baby 🐶🐶🐶

Gianluca

LMFAOOOOO I try to mute it but it’s so loud I just gave up, I hope it’s not too distracting

Daviid

Stoooop 😭😭😭😭😭

Gloria L.

When Armand was accusing Lestat and Zzavid said "I don't think you should be speaking right now" THANT YOU !!! I just can't stand Armand !! This episode is so sad but I was soooo happy to see Lestat again I just can't get enough he IS the show 🥰

L Gollum

I know it's your pup grumbling but he sounds like you're just letting out the gnarliest farts the whole way through this vid

Gianluca

If you could see me right now.. a MESS. I am only tears and anger right now. Tired, I am also tired 😅

Gloria L.

clock it! i’m still mad at him playing Louis with the narrative “Sam with the stick was so scary!”

astoldbyzhoii

i wasn’t finna drink but i remembered they took my aunt out the game!

astoldbyzhoii

ZZAVID NOOOOO 😭 Girl, this episode almost made start smoking again. I promise the next episode is better ❤️

Tori Carter

Yea, I know I’m a sad fag, I know😭🤣

Daviid

I didn’t last 3 minutes before I started crying, like what is happening?!😭

Daviid

It’ll be all in the same video my luv👀

Daviid

When you watch the next episode you react to the teaser for next season after

Symone

The readiness is nowhere to be found and yet I will press play 😭

Gloria L.

Claudia finally found someone who chose her over everyone else 😭💔

Hunter ❤️

This episode is such a tragedy, like the ancient great tragédies ! Monumental. Can’t wait for the next One !

Two French Bears React

To quote Alicent Hightower from HOTD, “look what they have done to my girl!”

Janyce Gonzalez

🚬😔

Tori Carter

I don’t think I’ve ever been so attached to a character in my life. Like this show cuts DEEP

Daviid

I’m glad you’re back and I hope you’re feeling okay. I have mixed emotions about the situation. Armand can definitely tap dance in Hell for all I care. This episode broke my heart and Claudia and Madeline deserved sooooo much better than that.

LaTrese Harris

and played a part in both

Nez

See the thing for me, is poor Claudia went out way different in the books. The show at least gave her a decent strong ending. And boy, let me tell you, you think Armand is a bastard here for his betrayal…honey it is so much more worst in the novels. Yes, the ending was heartbreaking, did I shed a tear or two, yes…but once more I read the novels so I know the real ending. Thank you Zzavid for your tears and always great commentary!

HotCuppa TeaImp

Episode 8 is gonna feel so good after this I promise !!!

My’kel J

LMFAOOOOO I get it… I get it😭

Daviid

By far this was the best episode of the entire series overall, I still haven’t seen the very last episode yet so that may change, however from start to finish this one had me fucking ENTHRALLED

Atticus

It's like watching Bridge to Terabithia and My Girl, it hurts and you know how it ends but you are desperate for it to change 😭😭😭

MoniqueRose

But honesty this show deserves every tear every laugh every gasp it earned it I’ve watched it so many times and my jaw still be on the floor

Dangerouskoala

What hurt watching this the first time was seeing Claudia finding out the truth of her creation. She always believed it but never heard Louis say it. It never was about her, but them. And then, when she finally finds someone who loves her completely, she loses her. 😞 💔

lunasara059

You know that British reaction meme of the blonde lady who starts screaming, ripping the curtains and breaking everything in the living room? That was me during this episode

Amal

Every time I rewatch season 2 this episode will always make me cry a river and seeing these comments are making me cry even more. Stop it I am grown women crying like a child thanks a lot 😭😭😭

Billie 🫶🏽

The fact that Lestat was they only person to witness both her birth and death😭

Himindabank

i am so sorry to have enjoyed this

frogluvr

They're so evil and so beautiful 😭

Malumi

and thats why i dont feel for lestat at all and i cant stand him f that nigga and louis too

ÇHÆÝØÚÑÚGˇSB

the fact that some sick fuck had the audacity to quote tweet a picture of madeleine looking back at claudia when she said she was her coven with "orpheus looks back at eurydice and it's not a tragedy. eurydice knows she's loved." i was fucking crying for like 30 minutes

Leila E.

Subscription canceled on me last damn night! If I didn’t take my husbands last $5 today to make sure I could cry with you while folding clothes and I am not ashamed!!!

Sabrina Walker

Beautiful demonic bitch. 😂😂😂

Latreece McKinney

I forgot how the movie that Claudia died and thought she will be safe in here and nope nope nope. I’m gonna watch a comfort movie now🫠

Carmel Adam

What I loved about this episode is that someone finally put Claudia first, even at the expense of her own life. Madeline was badass, and a perfect companion for Claudia.

Penny Dreadful

Me: oh I’m so ready to watch this and decompress! *cries the whole time*

Simone Lott

No matter what you think of the character of Lestat, no one can deny the absolute show-stopping performance put on by Sam Reid in this (and every) episode. He is amazingly good in this role.

Lavender Violet

baby i took my gummy, i got my ice cream and im ready to cry myself to sleep tonight lets go

Leila E.

Girl...😢 Same! Claudia is my everything and I love Madeleine. Also, everytime both Lestat and Armand opened their mouths (especially Armand tbh, who's the kind of projection mind you), I wanted to throw hands! Anyways, I think you'll like episode 8 and I hope you'll react to season 3's teaser cuz baby, that one is a doozy! Thanks for another great reaction as always!

Catlady de Winter

Yes that was as awful as it was the first time. If it helps at all the next episode will be so much better

Kit

Yeah I totally get where this is coming from, but Louis was also a victim of Louis' boyfriends and we shouldn't forget that. And Claudia insisted on going with the coven herself so that was her choice that had consequences for her, even if she didn't deserve them.

Mirroll

HANNAHHH😭💀 oh my god, I remember my heart shattering

Daviid

This episode was such a hard watch for me, rewatching it doesn’t sound like a good time but I’ll do it for you 😭

Kit

Darling. I can only say... I feel your pain. Truly. And Claudia? She was strong - she went in her own way, at the end. I can only be proud in my heartbreak. At the same time, this episode is one of the most amazing pieces of television I've seen in my lifetime. The finale is the cathartic counterpart to it, and it helps us look towards the future even when Claudia will ALWAYS be in the background, gone but never forgotten. Lestat's appearance here, despite his awful role (not yet completely opened up to us though) in this, is also one of my absolute favourites of this show yet. Next season is going. To. Be. Showstopping. I send my love to you, thank you for enduring this with us ❤️

Mirroll

The last time i saw David get this upset over a character death was during Haunting of Bly Manor when we found out about Hannah 🥺🥺 the EMOTIONS from this episode.

KJayyy

wait i feel kind of bad im sorry zzavid this episode wrecked souls

Miki

Gotta charge my laptop so I can talk at you like you’re right there with me

jadespademarmalade

ok so im crying too now, Claudia's death will NEVER not be sad. One thing I loved about this episode was that it revealed how we don't actually know Lestat at all because Louis's, Armands's and Claudia's diaries are all mostly either biased/lying or have faulty memories (ex: when Louis couldn't remember if it was raining or not in S1 and how Lestat actually warned Louis about the Great Law right before he turned Claudia) so we get to see how Lestat saw things from his perspective. Also, keep in mind we've never actually MET Lestat, it's all a recollection of memories. After watching the finale (THE PLOTWIST OMG??) its so cool seeing little details that hint at what was actually happening the whole time. anyways, as much as I need your reaction to episode 8 since YESTERDAY, I do understand that this episode was so emotionally draining and you have shit to do so take your time queen, i'll be eagerly waiting !! xoxo

crimsonbeheritz

The next episode is when shit gets real and when justice is fucking served and I can't wait for you to watch it👏🏾

Jasmine

Claudia just wanted someone to pick her and it finally happened and they were almost out and then freaking Armand had to have them kidnapped so that they stood no chance because he is a big coward! UGH. At least with Lestat, you know what you're getting (not that that makes him better) but with Armand, he'll freaking play in your face with some bullshit. Asshole. He's not my favorite at all. Louis and Lestat, there's not much you can say about them, you know those bitches are going to break up and get back together for all eternity because that's who they are and they love each other beyond anything else. Claudia better haunt them all. PS: the finale is so good.

Jamie

OMGGG GONNA GO WATCH BRB tehe :>

crimsonbeheritz

Damn, miss thing. I am only 6 minutes in and I feel so bad you had to watch this! 😭 I haven't even seen this episode of the show yet and was going to watch it "with you" right now, but I can already tell this is going to be a rough one 😫

Nicole

Holeeeeee sheeeittttt im so excited. Will return after my 5th rewatch

Mimi G

I’m so sorry! These last two episodes complete ruined me but honestly it also had me rewatching the entire series again to see how I missed the signs! We are coming to the end for now but I will say you should watch the little promo for Lestat’s season 3 at the end of your finale just to lighten the mood because you WILL need it even after editing ❤️

Menbungie

I teared up with you, in the words of the late and great Claudia herself "FUCK THESE VAMPIRES"

Wanzi

I agree, the three of them together and happy? A fucking DREAM 🥺❤️

Kami

It wouldn't be that simple for Lestat... There's more detail about it in the books, but despite I would LOVE to watch him fight them, he'd probably be killed (sorry for my horrible English)

Kami

To quote queen claudia “Fuck these vampires!”

Layluh

take a self care day 🥺

Hades

David I hope you’ve been taking care of yourself since you watched this episode. Seeing you so upset not even five minutes in had us all crying with you. The only time Claudia had any semblance of a family was when she was first turned. Once Charlie died it was a wrap. It makes me so angry because all Lestat had to do was tell them about the laws, his powers and stop treating Louis and Claudia like his inferiors. Lestat could have helped Claudia navigate her desires or at least try to. My god those three would have been unstoppable!! Tragic loss!!

Janet Griffin

The show gives Claudia so much more depth but it makes her death hurt SO much worse. Watching you get so attached to her was like watching a car crash in slow motion 😭 Hope you can gather the strength to watch episode 8 soon. I tell you what, I was SO glad to have a week between each ep when it came out

Linds

Im already tearing up 5mins in STAWPPPP

Julien

I had to hit another bowl half way through this I WAS A FUCKING MESS CRYING

Sydney Chestnut

OH GODD

Julien

I feel like even if Lestat didn’t come Claudia would’ve died anyway. But yeah Claudia story is heartbreaking. She didn’t have a moment of happiness. She was in hell the whole time and the only reason for her existence was to be someone for Louis. Then when Louis was with Armand Claudia didn’t matter anymore. It sucks that she was only stuck with Lewis because Louis didn’t know how to be alone.

Kaiya Darling

i'm so sorry baby but okay ashley tisdale and hilary duff music references!!!

talia

THANK GOD the finale is healing and satisfying because when i tell you the first time i watched ep7 i was so sad and so pissed off i almost stopped watching... but the finale is truly a cinematic masterpiece and i'm so glad i kept going

LJ

Why does this hurt worse the second time 🥴

SBscarlett

Tbh I really needed that Mary j bilge vid at the end cuz I was sobbing with you 🥹

Violet

🚰🥲 - 🍵 thank you for refills

Angelo Trevino

ugh, its so nice to see her smiling

Daviid

ZZavid i love you and if it makes you feel better I sob every time i see an edit of this episode on tiktok. also did you enjoy Nosferatu?

Emily Westenra

I know it's painful.....but we need episode 8 like NEOW! Pleaseee (when you are feeling better of course).

Cheyenne Predium

she's fine, this is fine, we're all fine! 😭go look at her being fab in cosmo to take the edge off: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/beauty-hair/a63406398/delainey-hayles-beauty-interview/

Mina

So sorry for your loss. Hope you’re grieving them properly (mine is by watching reaction videos and yes, I am a masochist).

Babi~

i’ve seen this episode an insane amount of times and it NEVER fails to make me cry, she was just a child

malili

Dear David - this was a really rough one, I was paralyzed watching this live on TV, they twisted the knife with this version. You got through it. 🙏🏽

Keith Atkinson

EH, Lestat never intended to murder Louis. He wanted to hurt Louis. Not kill him. He knew the fall wouldn't kill him. So, I can't agree that it was attempted murder. It was assault and battery.

xris037

I'm so sorry 😭 This show is sick and twisted and Claudia was the most mistreated character here. This was traumatic as hell and I understand if you need therapy after this...but at least Claudia had Madeleine! The one silver lining in all this is that at least she died knowing that there was one person willing to put her first. :(

sierra's reaction corner

I've had a laugh or two at your "trauma" in the past, but this was different. That last few seconds broke my heart.

Shannon

Lots of respect and love to you David.

shirley marshall

Claudia deserved so much better and it's so sad when you realize she was probably safer with Lestat (who didn't want her, but would've let her live for Louis) than she was with Louis (who refused to believe Armand threatened her and kept pissing off the coven). The only ones who deserves some sympathy are Claudia and Madeline because they were victims of Louis' boyfriends

Kalder

the thesis of the first book is that passivity comes in many forms and harms as much as activity. i think the show did a great job of re-developing that thesis. they propose that passivity isn't necessarily just an unwillingness to do something but also the external confinements of race and an abusive partner - AND the internal rejections of self-truth. louis is impossible to figure out because he won't let himself figure out himself, he won't let others figure him out, and he is prevented from figuring himself out by external forces.

xris037

for the start i was crying

Bradley Allen

Lmao I’ll listen to all suggestions and I love the answer

Gabby

We love you Zzavid!!!!! Where do we send our contributions for your therapy bill??

Kristin Riviello

RIP Claudia I love u I miss u and fuck these vampires

Mu

Crying in the first 3 minutes ohh you get it

Mu

I WONT BE SAWWREYYY!! okay. sitting down now. #seated to cry.

K R

I love how much you hate this but still persist, we respect it x This version of Claudia's story is so much more heartbreaking than book or movie but this Claudia out shone any other. But as short a time as it was she actually found a love who would die for her. That's more than most who have had much easier lives.

Rebecca Stone

*sighs* how much will the therapy session be? *pulls out wallet*

Janyce Gonzalez

Oh..😟
