*Interview With The Vampire* REACTION & REVIEW! S1 Episode 6 

Hope everyone had a great Halloween; comment below of your favorite moments to this episode!! 😁

Lestat was telling the truth about his maker, and Nikki was still painful, first love and all that

Lestat was not lying about the vicious European vampires. We will probably see that in season 2.

This show has taken over my life

Your comment about Louis not intervening really got to me. I was disappointed in him. Taking back Lestat was Louis's choice, so it's sad that he couldn't use his power over Lestat to force him to let Claudia go. Of course, Louis is still healing himself, figuring out what he wants, and doesn't actually want Claudia to leave even if he's willing to lovingly let her go. It's wonderfully conflicted. And could we love Louis without his flaws? At the risk of projecting too much, I'm a Black guy married to a white dude, and my hub is more assertive and less conflict-averse than I am. So many times he'll end a tedious social engagement in a way that I find rude. And yet I recognize that I sometimes benefit from him being the rude one, the bad cop, because I also have been spared the engagement without having to be rude myself. I'm rude by proxy. So Lestat being Louis-by-proxy is an element, too. Though Claudia is too much her father's daughter (Lestat) to take this lying down.

Lestat 's maker Magnus did kill himself. As soon as he turned him he did. Leaving Lestat to fend for himself.

Magnus really killed himself after making Lestat a vampire. Without ever teaching him anything. He speaks truth about that. But he does not tell about all the other vampires he met afterwards.

Hello!! Ive read the books and Lestat is in fact telling the truth about his Maker and Nicki

For the algorithm and great reviews 👍. Looking forward to episode 7.

Great reaction as always. So much fun to watch. Can't pick a favorite moment on this episode. I love every scene from start to finish, it sets up everything for the finale. Highlights for me are Louis's rehabilitation with Claudia, the coffin drop, the thought of Louis swimming the Mississippi river, the look on Lestat's face when Louis barged in the room (he was ready),Louis telling Antoinnette to GTFO, seeing Louis manhandle Lestat (he more than deserves it), hearing a little bit of Lestat's backstory, Louis asking Lestat about Paul, Louis letting go of Claudia😭 Lestat's little hop in the train, the whole train scene and the chess scene. So many highlights for me. I can't wait for the finale.

Okay. So Lestat may be a violent sadistic asshole, but Louis is not innocent in all this and he knows it too. "I am not a victim." That's right. Better get off your high horse because yes, Lestat did him wrong but he is gonna do Lestat even dirtier, and two wrongs don't make it right. I'd say murder is way worse than a beating, and Louis even beat up Lestat in this episode, so pot meet kettle. Louis is also not setting Lestat free. The man has asked to be released twice but Louis won't say the words. And we know Lestat is capable of letting go because he did let Nicki go, so he's actually given Louis the opportunity to end it in a peaceful way now with the potential to maybe reunite later down the line when they have both lived longer and become hopefully wiser, but no... instead Louis is like: "I'll just kill him instead." That is messed up. They honestly deserve each other. By the way, the story Lestat told about Magnus is absolutely true, he did kill himself and all the people Lestat has ever cared about have left him, including his mother and Nicki. Also, the cloud gift is the last ability the vampires gain, it takes a lot of time for it to show up, Lestat has it despite his "young" age because he fed off an ancient vampire once. It's also the reason he is as powerful as he is. If you drink from the ancients you become stronger. You can kill a vampire in many ways; sunlight, fire, dead blood, so Claudia has options... it's all about outsmarting Lestat, we'll see what they end up doing. I understand why Claudia wants to kill Lestat after that scene on the train, that was all kinds of fucked up, but Lestat is actually doing it out of his love for Louis. He doesn't want her but he knows Louis won't last long without her so he needs to bring her back to save Louis. It's twisted but its love. Lestat wouldn't actually kill Claudia, he knows that's a crime in the vampire world, but he needs to scare her into staying put. There's a VERY GOOD reason Lestat does not want them to go back to Europe and it's all about their safety. Regarding this murder plot and Louis... he is just not right in the head at this point in time, he wants Lestat dead but at the same time, he wants him all to himself. It's that "can't live with you, can't live without you" kind of thing. Right now I am more curious about Rashid. Who he is, WHAT he is, why he is such a simp for Louis. I'm intrigued. Also, I think Antoinette is actually a genderbent Antoine. Their names are so alike and their storylines seem to be too. In that case, she is more than just a side chick. This is a more than decade-long relationship and Lestat does not keep "toys" around for that long. He might actually love her, but not in the all-consuming way he loves Louis. In the books Lestat falls in love with many people, has many lovers and all the relationships sort of overlap in a very polyamorous way, but that's also just the very vampire way, it's not just Lestat who is like that, they are all very passionate creatures ruled by emotion. Louis is simply the odd one out, they call him the "human" vampire, the others... that's the thing about him that makes him unique and why so many including Lestat are so fascinated with him... but he's too young and inexperienced and Lestat's kept him away from the others so he doesn't really know how it all works. But you can tell from present Louis, that he knows now, he is wiser and he has regrets, especially about Lestat. Just the way he recants his original story and the way he reacted to the song being played in present-day says a lot. He knows Lestat was not as bad as he made him out to be, especially not compared to the others out there, and he misses him.

It's about to go down 😳😳😳

Poor Louis, I think he's depressed because his human family and business is gone :( It's like he's stuck with Lestat because he doesn't have anything left. Plus the vampire life and relationship is not great like Lestat said it would be (referring back to episode 1).

The next episode is the last one; its the season finale. Unless it's 2 hours long, they are going to leave us hanging. :(

I don’t know if anyone answered or told you this, about when was Lestat made into a vampire. It was I think 1781 or smth like some 8 years before the French Revolution (I always remember dates better near big events). Here I guess it’s the same. But in the books he’s been a vampire for only 10 years when he met Louis. (Cuz the story was set in 1790s and forward.) So it’s rather funny when you read and you have the feeling that he is ancient and he’s just a baby. On top of that he’s like 6 years older than Louis and it’s like they’re like peers. 🤣 But ofc you can’t ignore his experience. What he said about Magnus is true and oh my god yeah… He does have a shit ton of experience with everyone and everything in this area. Also, here, in the series, being 200 y.o against some 30yo dude, like he tells them over and over again about the viciousness. But because he does it this way, they don’t want to believe him. Ohh how they’ll regret it!

You’re so right about lestat here he loves Louis empathetic nature he sort of wants this tameness in his romance but Louis never points his empathy ray in lestats direction to try and understand him really and so in some ways Louis is power there and withholding just as much from lestat as lestat is withholding from him

I'm seeing conflicting info about the number of episodes, so don't worry yourself too much about it. Aaagh, this episode almost hurts more than Episode 5, and that's saying something. I think what really gets me is Claudia getting pulled back into it. She's not even the direct target of the abuse, but if she can keep Louis compliant...

🤔; Louis is a shell of his self, and he's letting Lestat get away with too much!...

💭I still think Lestat had something to do with Paul's death., (It wouldn't have took much because Paul was already fragile.) and you see how he lied about Antoinette for years!

I agree that Lestat would listen to Louis if he told him to let Claudia go, but I think Louis wants to be rid of him as much as Claudia does at this point, he just has trouble admitting it. Rashid does look the same age. I wonder what's up with that... It certainly seemed like he was human when Louis was talking about him eating pineapplse and honey, but perhaps Louis was lying - and Rashid is Armand [?]. That or Daniel is mixing stuff up in his dream.

I know that in a book Antuan became a vampire - but here we have Antuanette... And... I wonder if Claudia is going to use her to get to Lestat? Maybe she will even help Claudia willingly.

Entertaining reaction! After this show, you should watch The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself or if you’re down for a 3 season show, maybe you could give Hannibal a try

It's not a lie about the Cloud Gift; you can't just be taught how to do it. It's just an ability that you have to be really old to get naturally. Lestat didn't get it naturally via time and he wasn't taught it either. He just got it another way that I'm not going to spoil.

17:42 That shot is so GOOD.

You're going to need a new show in the same vein as this. I suggest Sense 8. It's got everything this show has and maybe even a bit more. If you haven't seen it, the people who are watching you watch this would totally stay for that. Well, at least I suspect. Great reactions to this show. The Mayfair Witches streaming drama from the same people, a companion show based on Rice's books connected to this series, is coming in Jan.

Thank you for not talking all the way through like last episode. I enjoyed it.

Magnus was looking for the perfect blonde head blue eyed man to make a vampire. Lestat telling of how he was kept hostage by Magnus is correct in the books. I do like how they take some bits from the book Vampire Lestat, but really disappointed in the Daniel story on the show because he leaves out so much that has to do with him in the books. I wonder how in the show they will tell the part about how Lestat finds out what Louis has done. I loved how they did it in the book......I do love the show however.

So I am LIVING for you completely clocking Louis’s bullshit in this episode sooooo much because as someone who was raped and beaten by an ex who I did take back like I can say you’re so right about his kind of summer hatred of this person no matter how nicely nicely we see them make ultimately lestat has violated Louis in a way he’s not forgiven and he does sort of just wanna let lestat fuck around and find about about the Claudia he knows more deeply now and lestat is so passed at Louis and in this like hate on Claudia antagonist mode trying to always prove and also expose Claudia but he is so utterly left out of their inner monologue here he’s like trying so hard and he’s having this kind of single mother rage moment and finds Antoinette where he can vent she’s sexy and talented they dig each other and make music together and she like GETS him and is having this fucked up human vampire toxic daddy don’t moment that a lot of us women can fully relate to as well honestly this show has everything like I’m so happy this exists

Where's Episode 7? That Finale was brutal! Twist. Kinda countin on you for levity on it.

you tickle me, liked and subscribed!

Love your shirt. Where can I find it?

This episode was good. It was hard to watch Louis heal from his wounds, suffer from ptsd then depression. I was wondering if Lestat loves Louis and wanted to proof how he changed. Why did he keep seeing Antoinette and wanted to be caught?

Really liked this episode, reviewed it on my channel. People seem to like the show, I thought there might be issues but I guess not.

*sure, sometimes a vampire just needs to be slapped, you knw?* i wonder what this show is based on. _JC

Daniel and Louis were not exes.

Do you have the reaction video out for 7 yet or I'm I missing it?

WWII - Germany invaded Poland.

Very risky idea. What I don’t get is why Lestat isn’t being nicer. He should know better at this point that he’s being abusive, overplaying his power, and it’s not gonna have a good outcome.

Are you from Detroit?
