•Do NOT harass real life actors for not liking the finale of the show they're in.

•Do NOT assume a real life person feels x way about a project they participate in without proof and use them for your crusade against the show.

•Do NOT treat real life people like fictional characters. You can hate the show all you want, but leave actors alone.

It wasn't perfect, nothing is, and I hope they will wrap up a lot of things they didn't show us this season in the next one. But I still liked the job the writers did.

I liked that the characters were different than in S1 and S2, because they were shown to us in a different person's perspective. I add all they showed us this season to what we already know about the characters. I don't think they were changed or ruined, I think they were expanded on. Anyone you ask will have a different opinion on you based on their experiences of you, and none of them will know the real you.

I love that Louis was held accountable for the wrongs he's done, but I don't think he was painted as a villain, as I've seen people claim online. Everyone in that show does bad things. Everyone makes mistakes. Just like in reality, only real people usually don't go into such extremes. I personally don't see Louis portrayed as a bad character or a bad person, but a man who tries to do good things, but is misguided in his attempts.

I like that Claudia got to finally scream at the both of them and show her angriest self. That she wasn't being painted by Louis as this innocent child, so at odds with her own words in her diaries.

I like that Armand got to gremlin out. I like him a little evil. I like him spiteful. And I love that he has finally broke free from his role of the victim and embraced his wrongs. Maybe I'm projecting, but I see in him the need to scream "yes, I did horrible things, I fucked up, but so did you!".

And I liked that they managed to make me feel with Lestat. That they didn't go in and completely erase the first two seasons, that they didn't remake them, instead, they showed us why those things happened the way they happened. They gave us a way of seeing horrible acts with a bit of compassion.

It seems many of fans are disappointed that Loustat didn't even kiss in S3, but it is kind of understandable why the writers aren't doing that, unlike S1, which starts with a lot of sex scenes.

​Since S1 was told from Louis's perspective, their physical relationship was heavily emphasized, as it must have been a massive shock for him while he was still denying his own sexuality.

​S3, told from Lestat's perspective, however, shifts the focus entirely as Lestat goes through the painful process of accepting that the 'love' he received from Magnus and Gabriella was actually just sexual abuse, not the love he craves.

​The meaningless sex with groupies and his relationship with Gabriella in Ep1 couldn't soothe his loneliness and only made things harder for him. Yet, even a simple, genuine conversation with Louis on the bench makes him realize he has lots of work to do on himself.

Loustat is processing their profound trauma together, I guess the narrative intentionally highlights Loustat's emotional development and spiritual bond, showing that what Lestat truly needs is genuine affection and care from Louis more than physical intimacy or a simple kiss.

​Of course, they will kiss, and Louis should confess to Lestat directly. However, S3 focuses on the characters confronting their traumas and the issues they have, so it seems their recovery will appear in S4.
