Not to mention the tallamasca edited the whole thing

There are certainly more parties to blame than Louis ?

Ah, Daniel is an accomplice. But by using the same person, it gives legitimacy to his version of events.

I think, at this point everybody is also pointing at the Talamasca.

But let’s be clear—Louis told intimate details of his life that Daniel couldn’t have known. How would you feel if the love of your life published a book about you, exposing your flaws to the world and sometimes grossly misinterpreting your intent?

As his publisher, perhaps. But we did see a quid-pro-quo established with them in exchange for the pages from the trial so I'm guessing the meeting with Louis is the exchange Raglan wanted. The book, I don't get the impression either Daniel or Louis wanted to be published. Daniel doesn't need the career boost and could have easily told his agent that the interview fell through. Louis thought he took care of it when he burned the laptop. Neither are happy with the changes in the book, so idk that I'd put it as the publishing itself as to why Daniel would owe them vs them owing him.

Fair. I wonder what else is going on.

Speaking of Daniel, nobody has brought up what he said about feeling like the whole world stopped and “feeling [Armand].

I'm confused

1. He isn’t.

2. he didn’t realize that Rashid was working in his house in Dubai and was actually part of the Talamasca.

3. in Mayfair witches, the Talamasca plotted to use Louis’ book for their own purposes. Louis is pissed about it

4. Daniel is a bit beholden to them as his publisher (If I understood it)

5. Talamasca went to Louis to ask him for a favor and to insinuate he was doing some of their work for them—dispatching huge numbers of vampires. They asked him to formally do it and dangled Bruce as a carrot.

Here is what I think:

Now that Louis has killed David Talbot, ANYTHING that was related to David can now be retooled to be a Louis thing.* This should be very interesting.

Didn’t the Talamasca also potentially divert funds that could’ve been used on TVL?

I finally figured out what was wrong with the show, as much as I really tried to like it.

For me, they tried to introduce too many new characters and other in-universe storylines that were supposed to be happening at the same time as TVL. Remember, Long Face was playing in a bar scene.

But I just wasn’t interested. What I wanted was S3 of IWTV/TVL, not a distraction from it, not the itty bitty breadcrumbs they threw in, it wasn’t enough. I felt like I was in a waiting room at the doctor’s office impatiently flipping through an old magazine.

They should have used that money on S3’s budget and given us more episodes after an agonizing two year wait.

After that, they could have explored additional shows, it was too soon. I’m not in the industry so what do I know.

Yeah, MJ has long struck me as an unwanted, off-putting and often clueless corporate chaperone.

Can anyone remind me if he had such a looming presence in the BTS/after-show specials for Talamasca and Mayfair? I did watch them but quite frankly Talamasca was forgettable and I think I blanked out Mayfair...

anyone?

The book also has edits from the Talamasca. Armand scrambled Louis's memories. All of that must have an effect.
