Lestat's recollection of Detroit is honestly so fucking funny and definitely inaccurate at some parts
he's like "first, i took a piss in these eco-friendly urinals. yes, this is VERY IMPORTANT!"
"then a nonbinary vampire and her- i mean their- friend ALSO took huge pisses! she- i mean they- pissed hands-free with their incredibly strong pelvic floor muscles. yes, the vampire lestat respects pronouns, write that down."
"i always wash my hands after using the bathroom. even when i'm fucked up on LSD and ecstasy! even if the other people at the urinal didn't wash their hands! yes Daniel, this is VERY important to write down!"
"and then we had elevator sex so hot that the bellboy joined in!"
"i would have EASILY beat the Fang Gang normally, but you see, i did too many drugs and fucked too hard. it was the sex legs, i swear!"
"The girl is feeling good. Riding the wonders of Dr. Fareed's blood transfusion quick pick-me-up cocktail."
hmmmm anyone else reminded of Daniel's Levadopa transfusion given to him by Fareed in season 1? do we think that it had a small amount of vampire blood in it? maybe that's why fareed had to do it
and do we think the vampire blood is what caused Daniel's memory to return a little? hmmmm very interesting

y'all my brain went fucking CRAZY when i saw this scene!
the blow-up man outside of this car dealership has sooo much symbolism! It has a red body (blood) and yellow "hair" (like Lestat's), so it struck me as a metaphor for Lestat being "blown in the wind."
Lestat is constantly in a state of turbulence. He has a notably difficult time adjusting to changes. Therefore, to him, being immortal means being constantly battered by the changing mortal world around him. He is forced to adjust with the times, but not without pain.
The sign behind the blow-up man also says "DALEO"
Daleo is a patronymic Italian surname derived from the given name "Leoni," which means, you guessed it, lion-like (source). It's essentially equivalent to the name "de Lioncourt."
what if the fang gang is still the Fang Gang from the books...Just on a mission...
yeah, that's probably what the show is trying to portray
i honestly only liked the Fang Gang because it showed how vampires are really just another species. just another type of human.
they could roam around and hunt. they had family and community. they could be kind and have mercy. they scoffed at blood drinkers who called themselves "vampires"
they were very anti-establishment and it felt like they reflected a lot of Gabrielle's ideas that were in opposition to Lestat
in the show, they're very coordinated, appear to have lots of money, and are pro-laws and order.... which is opposite of the reasons i liked them in qotd....
if we hadn't just seen like 3 other covens exactly like them in the Talamasca show, maybe it'd feel more novel? idk. i don't hate the Fang Gang in the show, but i don't love it!
if Lestat actually told Louis that he stuttered as a child.... let's just say i think that Lestat was actually FAR more open about his past than Louis let on in season 1
