I couldn’t burn him. But Claudia could. No, she couldn’t. She stuck a pen in his neck. She recorded his last words in his own blood. The girl did not have a fuckin’ problem tossing him on the grill, okay?
Was it raining, Louis? She couldn’t burn him. You cursed her into the darkness. You chose Lestat over her, time and time again.
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | S01E07



A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart (1x05) / Blood Communion (Anne Rice) / The Thing Lay Still (1x07)
I really liked the IWTV finale! I was afraid of some things like… I had the theory that it was Antoinette in the incinerator mostly because it is a very final way to kill a vampire and Lestat doesn’t really, like, die lmao but I was afraid that they would go through this route because Louis is not the sadist kind, not with the ones he love, and if he just stared idle while burning Lestat like that… it would be hard for me to believe he still felt any kind of love for him.
But Louis changing his mind a thousand times, doing it torn between love and hatred, doing it but sobbing in the aftermath and actually violently stopping Claudia from killing Lestat permantely? Him ‘killing’ him in a way that allows Lestat to slowly recover from his ‘death’? Now this I’ll gladly buy, it was glorious to see.
Since last episode I was buying into the Rashid-is-Armand thing. I did think it would be very funny if he was like, and Replimoid, but I don’t think we’re getting into alien lore this early on lmao
Anyway I did like it overall and especially the last minutes, Jacob was so, so good… Louis and his torn feelings in the flashbacks, and his visible confusion and distress when Daniel calls him out… that was very good.
Also got to admit I am sort of interested in old man Daniel and Rashid/Armand being a thing now lmao. Hope they’ll do it, because they did have a lot of very good interactions this season.
