(Daddy's Little Demon) Interview With The Vampire ep4: Reaction/ Review/ Commentary 

Exactly it's okay to love Lestat doesn't mean he should get a past for being cruel. Yes, that was tough lesson that Claudia had to learn, but he didn't have to have her watch his face burn off of course. of course, she going to be unattracted to people after that.

Oooh 🤯😊 Thanks for the clarification, I was so confused.

For some reason I always thought of Dubai as ancient, I need to brush up on some history 😅

That's when it became developed? Beautiful city and on my bucket list for sure.

@@shalayahomebodytv Dubai is a *city* located in the *country* of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai itself is not a country, though. Dubai is an emirate of the UEA. An emirate is a political territory that is ruled by a dynastic Arabic or Islamic monarch-styled emir. The modern developed Dubai that we know today *is* relatively new. The discovery of oil in 1966 led to the development of Dubai as we know it now. That's when the city was transformed from a small cluster of settlements near Dubai Creek to a modern port, city and commercial hub.

I agree. Great comment!

For me it was never like or dislike, her story was just tragic beginning to end and I felt for her in the books. It was also interesting to see how her parents were never able to understand her, so sad. And so didnt we. In later time she so clearly behaved as an adult, even calling Louis her lover and getting jealous when he fell in love with another. Show is so different, and although I like the take on her, for me it does not have the same impact. Tragic yes but she could be on her own if she choose to. But I liked the happy family illusion we got to see in this episode until it broke. It is easier to understand maybe in the show, because in the books there were so many layers with her story that might be difficult to portrait. Although I think the 94 movie did a good job in portraing her at a much younger age. I think we as readers and viewers were supposed to also never be able to understand her - she always was the ultimate outsider with no chance to real connection. She was the ultimate vampire because she forgot what it is like to be a human. Feeling empathy with her character is difficult, because she herself had none. She acted in cerain ways because she was taught this way or saw how others did it, she herself never felt it. In the end we were only connecting to her, for her tragic story and the love her parents had for her. In this you are right. I think this was the point in the books. Aging her up takes from her story a bit in that regard, she can have connections, even outside her family. It not being easy, lies not in her age but the vampire nature as such. The are vicious and would be even if she were like 20 ish. She is humanized but I do not like her better for it. Therefore I have a harder time connecting with this version, she is very entiteld (as teens are) but it does not feel earned. Claudia suffered for 65 years before she tried to break out and the realization of what was going on hit so much harder. Her anger was understandable - she earned it. This Claudia not so much, this is why they also needed to shift the whole story in the following episodes. I can enjoy it but I do not like it better. If you want another take on Claudia which is the original take - have a look at the comic, that was made just for her story - you may like her then.

It does, glad i enjoy it 😊 It helps me express my creativity and I love when u guys notice

After ep 5 I hope 6 is a good one. I need a breather on that one

True, but I feel like to much change might've changed the story to much. It's to bad they couldn't hire child actors in New Orleans, but I can understand not wanting to change the location.

🤣🤣 that says alot

He better after that lol

Thanks! Me either

No offense taken. I know alot of vamp lore comes from Queen Anne, I just like to compare how different authors write vampires.

@@shalayahomebodytv good I am glad. Cause love you and your reviews 🙂 I also do like comparing different views but since I grew up with Anne, I cannot not see her influence. And somehow I measure other writers if they can take her ideas further or not. But I do like different takes as well and I do not mind at all if they do have her ideas in there since she changed the whole genre. She will always be there in memory - she herself became immortal that way. I recommend Being Human UK (important UK!!)- it is a bit a different take on genres, and I liked it, well the first to seasons, 3 not so much... just if you have not seen it.

Excellent comment! I wrote something similar under another a post. Most of the current writers of vampires books and/or shows are huge fans of AR, and I enjoy seeing her influence in their work. I’m a book reader, period. I’ve read this entire series. I’m so here for this adaptation, reimagining or inspirational telling of these chronicles story. I absolutely love this show with the changes and all. I never knew that I wanted this Louis until Jacob. I always wanted Sam’s Lestat😂

@@corpeter Great comments, thanks. Same experience here as older Gen X book fan. Thanks for mentioning blast-from-the past “Being Human” original version. That was so good! I wish it had lasted longer. Maybe was a bit before it’s time.

@@glittermethis the acting is great! Love it and the costumes amazing.

Thanks 😊

I thought I'd seen her in films from the 90s or something. She was on some show I watched

So I keep hearing, I'm not ready lol

@@shalayahomebodytv ohh you aint lol

No. Sorry. I watch other youtubers who review it. I stopped after s1

Yup. I'm editing ep 5 now. Should be up tomorrow night. Or Friday morning.

Watching ep 6 tomorrow night, with a big glass of 🍷
