My review of the season!

Wrote about the differences between HOTD episode 3x04 and GRRM's Fire And Blood.

My review of TVL episode 6, henceforth to be known as Loustat crack. How are we all handling the last 10 seconds?

Chapter 5 of The Vampire Lestat is the protagonist’s true undoing — and rebirth. Sam Reid regales the audience with yet more musical versatility as Lestat, recording (and obsessively re-recording) his album, courtesy of composer Daniel Hart’s genius, as the vampire finds himself within the music. The past and the present fall together like perfect pieces this episode, informing each other seamlessly and truthfully outside the constraints of an interview. 

My analysis of episode 3 vs Fire And Blood!

My recap and analysis of House of the Dragon episode 3x02 in comparison with Fire And Blood by George R.R. Martin.

My review of episode 4! It's a long analysis, and it touches upon many aspects of Lestat's past and present, including his relationships.

House of the Dragon is back for season 3, and so is my weekly column at Winter Is Coming recapping the episodes and analyzing where each diverges from Fire And Blood by George R.R. Martin.

The majority of the episode is dedicated to Lestat (Sam Reid) performing — not music this time, but his carefully curated persona of pure hedonism and sarcasm, untouched by all. The audience finally gets to dig deeper and peek at a glimpse of what’s marring in his psyche, at the ghosts lurking underneath the surface. The episode alternates a levity, courtesy of its protagonist’s deflective facetiousness, with the tragic subject matter that it’s covering.

“Toledo” is our first real glimpse at Lestat’s past and it is handled with all the diligence Lestat cares to exhibit towards himself (next to none), which is why it works so brilliantly. It’s a masterclass in avoidance and sweeping the uncomfortable under the rug and it reminds us that Interview With The Vampire is constantly outdoing itself for its clever choices. 

If The Vampire Lestat is the titular character’s descent into his own internal Inferno, “Detroit” is the antechamber to hell, exquisitely preluding all that will follow.

Here are a few things you might want to remember from seasons 1 and 2 as we head into season 3... there are some slight spoilers - more like teasers - for the new season.

In the meantime, let's relive everything we loved about Sword Catcher!
