too many blorbos

No television series is immune to the showrunner’s hubris. it’s the worst downfall of all

so the thing about Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy is that's Anthony Bourdain. They literally summoned Anthony Bourdain's soul directly from hell (where he works part time beating the shit out of henry kissinger) because they knew only someone who spent their 20s as a cocaine-fueled line chef would be able to handle narrating the kinds of stories and dramas produced by a group of homosexuals cursed to live past 100.

Interview with the vampire felt like HBO while the vampire lestat feels like the CW

yk its really actually amazing how they took iwtv the book, the racist and largely boring and poorly paced book, and made a damn near perfect two seasons of television that are very well paced and very interesting and fun to watch, and then took the tvl book which is considered the extreme improvement in writing and pacing to iwtv, and made a season of television that is So poorly paced and is racist and constantly dates itself (in a bad way). like, damn, way to switch up on those two books lol

incredibly sorry for the black writers and directors of the previous two seasons who thought they were building something. I am so sorry that your work was not respected and now dismissed by this new season. I am so sorry that the love and care with which you crafted the characters, especially of Louis and Claudia was so resented that the current writers' room chose to dilute all. I am so sorry that you are having to see the anti blackness in full force on a formerly black led show and everything you worked on- your vision- it was all wiped off. I am so sorry to Jacob and Delainey for having to work with those scripts.

'emily axford does an absurd amount of damage in a single hit' is a delight that happens at least once a season and is always a highlight for me but i think we peaked with "roll as many dice as you can hold in two hands"
