Lol, when you finally said.....ah, I didnt mean Marius but Armand.....I had to laugh so hard but Marius is from the books. A very very old Vampire who guards the supposed Ancient Ones, First Ones....I do not remember correctly. I think he shows in Queen of the Damned...the book.....and later books......I love, in the books when Louis and Lestat finally have a proper reunion and Lestat pulls a stupid stunt and instead of being annoyed or disturbed, Louis just was mildly amused. That was my " they are back together again" moment.

I’m head-canoning Lestat and Hannibal having a months-long fling when Louis was off with Armand and Hannibal and Will were on a break from murder-husbanding. Lestat drains them and Hannibal cooks them. I need this fanfic.

I’m so emotionally drained (in the BEST way) from your final reaction. THANK YOU. I am out of words, other than would you please consider live-streaming your rewatch? We can be your emotional support group, just as you’ve been our therapist.

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I joined just so I could watch your full reactions to Interview With The Vampire. I watch the edited ones on youtube frequently and I enjoy them so much (and all your other videos) that I came here to support. Came for vampires, stayed for the rest, Thank you. :)

Jamie

I am a literal year late to the game but when i tell you this show had me GAGGED. Also yes the amount of Hannibal parallels I noticed in this show made my Hannigram heart very happy

"This is gonna be as 👏gay as it is 👏fucked 👏up, and that's exactly what it needs" truer words have NEVER been spoken 😂😂 I joined your patreon like 2 seconds after starting your reaction to ep 1 on YouTube and I have 0 regrets. I'm relating so so much to your reactions to this and I can't wait to keep watching!!

After so much talk about unreliable narrators, I think adding Armand into the mix adds another layer, as Louis looks controlled by him. The pivotal books being kept at a height that Louis can’t reach is a perfect example of how his resources are being controlled and edited. I’m guessing it was Armand who wiped memories from Daniel too back in the 70s. Louis has yet another controlling man. So maybe he intends this new interview as a sos call for Lestat to rescue him…as the way Jacob delivers that final line is not straightforward….it sounds very rehearsed just like the lines about him and Claudia going on their adventure. So many possibilities and threads to unravel! This series was delicious.

IrmaVepKitty

Ep7. Armand is totally mind fucking Loui. That’s why the recollections keep changing. I already hate him, 🤣. And that is the greatness of Sam Reid, that after all the fucked up things that Lestat did, I still prefer him.

Bookshelfaffair

Yes!, thank you, thank you

Bookshelfaffair

You probably already saw, but ep6 is in the Drive! Ep 7 is uploading as we speak. <3

Brittany Diamond

Hi, could your upload ep 6 to drive, please, please. I tried to download 3 times and I don’t know why is not working 😔

Bookshelfaffair

Mega only lets people watch/download a bit at a time, so the backup for people having trouble with WeTransfer is the Google Drive, link available on this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/for-those-who-73019536

Brittany Diamond

I don’t know if I’m being naive, but I don’t believe Leastat did all that at the end, I’m going with the unreliable narrator that they keep mentioning. Because, 1 We are reading Claudia’s diary, 2 Lestast Never calls Louis Lou, 3 he never is dress full on black, 4 and he said “ I don’t want to keep fighting like this, I’m restraining myself “ or something like that. I don’t know, Lestat IS toxic, but I also think that Louis is trying to justify everything that Cloudia does, and blaming Lestat has always been his way o coping. The only time he is truly honest is when he is confessing in EP 1. I think they fought, but there is mising information. And finally the “ It would help me a great deal” when they were in the aire 💔💔💔, just broke me

Bookshelfaffair

This new app stuff is the worst. Have u tried Mega?

PamRenea

I take it back. Not good fortune. That hurt. A lot. But I still love it.

I mean I know all vampires are far from morally good from a human stand point. But Lestat saying he’d never harm louis feels like it would be an integral part to his character no matter how many adaptations louis and Lestat go through. I’m confused why they’d take this turn in the series especially after it being advertised as a “gothic romance”. They added domestic abuse to a gothic romance that already had enough toxicity in the og source material. I’m just curious why. I think I still trust the writers to make it work somehow. Maybe certain scenes didn’t happen bc we know how unreliable our narrators are in the show.

Blue

Before I watch it I just wanted to say I wish they could’ve kept Lestat’s character closer to the books in this instance bc book!Lestat has said he would never harm louis physically and this was pretty hard to read about happening in this episode 😔

Blue

I saw people talking about this ep on Twitter and havent been able to bring myself to watch it. I’ll watch it with you 😞

Blue

I literally just checked this site 10 min ago to see if the new episode was here, and resigned myself to waiting until tomorrow. Then I get an email with a fresh new link! What good fortune.

Jess D

Is everything I WANT!!!, and it would fit with the narrative, specially if this season is the full interview with a the vampire story, and doesn't stop when they go to Europe.

Bookshelfaffair

Not even kidding, if Lestat turned out to be in the apartment I would S C R E A M.

Brittany Diamond

I totally think Lestat is at the apartment too, and when Rashid said “I serve a God” he ment Lestat and not Loui. It would be the perfect setting for the next season, keep interviewing vampires.

Bookshelfaffair

SAME. I WOULD NEVER HAD GIVEN IT A CHANCE IF IT WASN'T FOR BRITTANY! Usually remakes sucks so I am not interested.....but his one is intriguing.......

Chris

Thank you!

Maria Lima (aka chickwriter)

Okay, thank you!

Airawyn

It's the correct link for episode 3, I just accidentally named it ep2 (and the site doesn't let you rename uploads, no idea why).

Brittany Diamond

Ep 3 was mislabeled as ep2, but it really is ep 3!

Brittany Diamond

I'm also getting episode 2 when I click on the episode 3 link.

Airawyn

I loved Louis taking down the alderman. I even liked how he hung him on the gate. But as soon as I read that Whites Only sign hung below him, my Spidey Sense - black woman addition went off. They didn't necessarily know it was Louis, but they would think it was a coloured person. I yelled at the screen: LOUIS YOU IDIOT! YOU KNOW IF THEY BLAME ONE, THEY'RE GONNA BLAME ALL OF US! 2022 - same thing. I see a news story about a horrific crime... every single black person says, "don't let them be black, don't let them be black, don't let them be black" over and over in our heads. Cause it's still there. One falls, we're all seen as guilty. Still... I loved this episode. I love this show.

MavenCree

Hmm, episode 3 link takes me to ep2 download. :(

Maria Lima (aka chickwriter)

Ughhhh I love them so much I don’t think anyone can top Sam Reid’s Lestat he truly is THE brat prince for me

Blue

I just love this damn series so much and we’ve only seen 3 episodes 😭 I’m emotionally attached at this point and don’t want it ever taken from me lol.

Stephanie Carroll

Great start to the series but it just left me wondering if Anne Rice's estate and son are going to come after any fandom that springs up from this. And I appreciated that transforming into a vampire at least in episode one was nowhere near as gruesome as it was in the book. Or do they do that in episode two?

Inala

I too have problems with downloading it. So my question is the same: Is there another way to watch it?

green_ear_bunny

Omigosh I hope there are Lestat and Nicholas flashbacks! Their story alone was one of the most wildly romantic (and tragic) stories I've ever read and the fact that it was just one piece of Lestat's history - Anne Rice is so damn brilliant!God Rest the Queen!

Ava Sinclair

I am so freaking excited! So I am a huge Annie Rice fan from the time I was about 11 and found a copy of Interview with a Vampire in a trunk of my mother's books. Her rule was if I was old enough to be interested in, then I was old enough to read it - I received quite an interesting education from that trunk, I'll just say. But anyway, I was ADDICTED to Interview, and the Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned. and when the movie came out in the 90's I was so so so mad that Tom Cruise was cast as Lestat - you all had to be there but the black eyeliner vampire goths of the 90s were PISSED. I did end up liking the movie better than I thought I would but it was never how I really pictured Lestat and Louis. So this show came along and I was quietly hopeful but cautious. Watched the trailer and started to get excited. Watched the first episode and was freaking BLOWN AWAY. What they've done with Louis's character is how you do it! All it did was deepen the original story - the most important thing to me about Louis's origin was that he was Creole French. Making him black and having part of the story feature in Storyville, a place I've just learned about and been very interested in - PERFECTION. And the casting - more perfection! And so far, though I feel like Lestat is a very very hard character to get 'right', I'm really impressed with him too. And then to find that you're going to react to this one after I've been binging your Sense8 reactions is the cherry on the sundae. They've already thrown in so many things from the books that I did not expect, like Lestat's brief foray into wating to be a priest. Anne Rice was such a master of world building and I'm so glad the show's creators are honoring that. Can't wait to see more of this!

Ava Sinclair

He was! He was stunning in that performance as well, despite the role being much smaller.

Brittany Diamond

I've noticed that too. I've been putting it in their YT comments. (Though this might actually kill poor Abnormally Adam...)

MavenCree

omg i was hoping there'd be channels reacting to this i should've KNOWN that you would be!!! excited to watch your reaction

minkit

Thank you for reacting to this! None of my other react channels are and this is a master piece 😍

MsDucky

i did not know that he who plays louie was in game of thrones too

Jannika K

Finally got my payment issue fixed can’t wait to watch this with you. Loved the first two episodes.

Once_upona_fae

Is there a way to watch this without downloading ☹️☹️. Not enough space in my phone

Bookshelfaffair

I fell in love with the first two episodes! I’m so excited for more and I haven’t stopped looking for your reaction since Sunday, I can’t wait to watch it now!

haileen lopez

Yesss!!! We were all shaking and crying and throwing up last thursday when this dropped early djdjdjd. We could not believe just how good it was. Bc we knew it would be good but not THIS good. Just want to let you know, as someone who has read the books and loves them, they are doing them justice, 100%. This show is a product of love, believe me. Everyone behind it loves this story and the characters so much and a lot of care has been put into creating it. Sam Reid, who plays Lestat, has been a fan of the books since he was a teen. He said this was a dream role for him, he LOVES and understands Lestat so perfectly. And Jacob Anderson who plays Louis, has said in multiple occasions that he sees himself in Louis. That he read the books for the first time right before they started shooting and just fell in love with them. Jacob has talked about his depression through his music (yes, he's a musician!!) and as we all know, Louis is chronically, eternally depressed. In the words of Jacob himself: “The whole book is so miserable, but I think actually it’s in [Louis’] misery, he’s sort of unpacking a type of grief that is essential to unpack, and that’s what keeps him going. He doesn’t just walk into the sun, and there’s something to be said for that. The endurance of a life, and what keeps you going? What makes you not just walk into the sun, in vampire terms?” And he is, hands down, the most accurate version of Louis you will ever see, he just Gets him. Oh and btw, they are basically taking from ALL the books in the Vampire Chronicles to present this story. There's lots of references you missed, like the one about the violinist Lestat mentions. He's referring to his former lover and friend, Nicolas. The story about wanting to be a priest and the stuff about his father and his mother, all true! I recommend reading them, it adds another layer of enjoyment to the show, makes it even more delicious. Oh and you probably already know this but I'm still gonna scream it: LESTAT IS CANONICALLY BISEXUAL 🎉🎉🎉💜 (In fact EVERY vampire in these books is some flavor of gay!) And this you might not know: THE SHOW GOT RENEWED FOR A SECOND SEASON!! Ok, I'll stop here but I could talk about the books and the show and the actors for hours lmao. And I humbly offer my knowledge on the books/show to you, if you have any questions <3 Alright, one final thing, are you going to wait for next week to watch episode two? Because it's already out 👀

nothingismanageable

Sam and Jacob are just……. SO damn good as Lestat and Louis…… and I’ve seen ep 2 😏…. I desperately need ep 3

Stephanie Carroll

So excited to watch this☺️ can’t believe they release 2 episodes this week! I’m over the moon!

Gigi LaRue

I had no intention of watching this show, I assumed it would be bad or boring or something like that. The 90's movie was great, what else is there to add to that, I thought. But when I saw that you reacted to it, I gave it a chance, and wow, am I glad I did. This show is amazing. A+ on queer representation, but it is so much more than that. The story telling is quite good, I was glued to the screen. Amazing performances from the actors, and the cinematography was quite good too. I will be watching the rest of this show.

Jess D

that scream at the end was exactly what i was feeling, good lord 😭 i love the book, i love the movie, and man, everything about the two first episodes has been brilliant! man. MAN. this will be a Ride.

mirka

This series owns me I swear to god ahahah I’ve been thinking over the last day or 2 that I needed a rewatch so I’m insanely glad ur doing a reaction!!

Stephanie Carroll

This show is gonna be a problem for me. ALL I've done for three days is obsess over it. I HAVEN'T READ WANGXIANG FAN FIC IN 3 DAYS! The only other time this happened was when Word of Honor was airing.
