I guess I didn't realize just how much of Nicolas and Lestat's relationship they incised and gave to Louis instead until Rolin just came right out and said it. It's a shame they weren't confident in their own writing ability to give Louis his own unique relationship with Lestat, and keep the heart of Nicki and Lestat's relationship (our conversation) alone. Apparently he can't even comfort Lestat anymore, as he does in the books, because I guess only Louis can do that now. But I guess I can take comfort in knowing maybe show people would have liked Nicolas if he had been allowed to exist as a character in an adaption actually interested in the material. As sad as it is, it does explain why they had to keep the Nicki stuff so shallow, since they already striped so much of him away. But the real shame is that he isn't even allowed to keep his music anymore. Oh well. The book exists. And the musical legit treats Nicolas better, lol Maybe that'll get revived! LOL

Literally skipped to the end because that's all I cared about. Looks like my (very obvious) theory was almost correct. Although it was Armand and Daniel and not Alex like I originally thought.

For the people that are so shocked that Hit the Lights was originally written as a Nicki song, the show did the EXACT SAME THING with Why Do I Have to Feel? The CONTEXT was Lestat singing it to LOUIS. But then the very next episode Daniel says that it is for NICKI. So why wouldn't people think the same thing with Hit the Lights, when the lyrics so obviously fit Nicki and NOT Gabriella. (and if you really think they fit Gabriella... well, it is in those moments I am reminded that Americans are lucky to read at a 5th grade level)
