okay, like i said, i mostly stopped taking notes in the second half of s3e3, because it was really emotionally intense and well done, and i prefered to focus on watching it, but here's what i wrote down:
- wait daniels is aries?? it explains fucking everything about him <- said by aries.
- "murdered and born at july 18" - so he wasn't turned right after the interview because we actually know the date the interview ended, and it was still june. soooo are the writers being stupid about the timeline again or i can take it as a confirmation that daniel wasn't turned because louis left him alone with armand? but actually like three weeks later?
- oh no, it took daniel 2 minutes to bully lestat, i actually feel a little protective of lestat now <- said by a fool.
- sam finally got his acting to shine this episode, i was waiting for that.
- whaaat louis does fly?? or it doesn't count because it was a long jump? or is it lestat's unreliable narration? i have many questions about this. because i always suspected that in the modern time he knows how but is choosing not to, so it's interesting that he's using it at a moment when he's angry, just like his fire gift.
- was nicky that starved for a good fuck or is it just lestat focusing on important parts as usual?
- just like the first time i heard about "the scene", i can say: gabriella's entire presence is trying to overshadow lestat's story and trauma, she's the greatest obstacle to the (lestat's subjective) truth just like armand was in s2. when she's in his life, she consumes everything.
- wow lestat using the fact that he never told louis about his mother to discredit him... but i can tell his heart wasn't in it.
- "she's here. right here" - okay guys the necklace theory is kinda....
- "i've driven him mad. and now i leave him to this madness?" - oh that was a good line, really shows how lestat sees himself, and how he perceives mental illness, and how it then can be applied to his relationship with louis too (especially his refusal to leave for 7 years in s1e5).
- the shot in the theater box is unfortunately unsalvageable and i don't think it was "on purpose" this time, guys.
- okay i cooould maybe say that the scene with nicky cutting of his hands is stepping into surrealism territory, but it was definitely rather just... idk... okay, lestat is unserious i get it. okay, maybe not, i don't know how to read this scene. lestat's breaking down was really great though.
- really liked the fact that lestat can see daniel's predatory hunger for his story. adding this to a little jab at the beginning when he said "i'm the vampire louis de pointe du lac, undone by your relentless questioning", i feel like he was mad both for himself and louis.
- oh okay just two minutes later it's confirmed that lestat did not let daniel use it heh.
- don't like how claudia's story & trauma is used for her two male parents, but well, what did i expect from rolin jones.
- "armand is like the consummate third wheel in every situation" man. it's like. him inserting himself in the dynamic of louis & claudia, louis & lestat and louis & daniel in s2... yknow, while we could have a more profound discussion about it, i actually kinda love this, because armand being desperate for love while having a utterly fucked-up concept of love is an incredibly humanizing part of his character. he's literally lestat's twin.
