Armand told the truth

The implication is that the show is exaggerating it or something because they only kiss a few times in the book. Guys… your eyes need to be open when you read. I think maybe you closed them and forgot.

Do you think incest is purely physical? The damage is done to Lestat not by the few kisses, but by the way Gabrielle views him and treats him. The boundaries between the two were blurred even when they were humans and it only gets worse when they’re vampires. It is deeply emotional incest and it’s egregious. A relationship doesn’t have to be explicitly sexual to be incestuous.

There are so many occasions in the book where Lestat yearns for his mother and for her support and he never fully gets it. Not in the way a child would need from their parent. Anne has an issue with framing abusive relationships as abusive, something the show has no issue with, but if a parent treats their child like Gabi treats Lestat, the child will respond in the ways Lestat does. There are clear signs of emotional abuse everywhere, you just have to know what they look like. He behaves like an abused child, just like Armand does, though it manifests very differently in them both.

Now if AMC release it and drop the ball again like they did with Talamasca, it might be the last spin off we ever see. I’m choosing to believe, based on nothing but blind optimism, that they’ve learned that they have to actually market their shows for them to be successful.

I really didn't find it to be that big a deal. It was huge for Louis, obviously, but as a viewer? Regardless of whether he directed the play or not, he was still there. He was still involved in Claudia's death. I'd already decided I liked him despite knowing that he absolutely could've saved her if he'd wanted to. And by that point it barely mattered if he'd saved Louis or not. He let Claudia die. That should be enough. When it comes to Claudia, I hate them all equally because every single other character except Maddie put her through hell and splitting hairs over who hurt her the most seems pointless. She suffered and died because of them all. Fuck these vampires.
