- Why Lestat Saved Louis: Interview With The Vampire. it was lestat all long, after everything, it was Lestat. He saved Louis during the trial and I am going to explain to you why that is and everything that surrounded possibly the greatest episode of the 2 seasons combined.

I was never confused as to why Lestat saved Louis. It's the same reason why Louis refused to burn Lestat, even though he knew that could potentially put Claudia in danger. He just couldn't do it. I was more baffled by how Armand could love Louis on the one hand but also be able to watch him die. So cold!
Yeah I would really like someone to explain Armand's actions in the TV series. Why would Armand want Louis dead when he clearly seemed to love him and want him. What was the motivation of Armand during the trial, why did Armand go along with the idea of killing Louis.
Because they have a toxic relationship, and Louis has been having psychological _issues_ ever since he became a vampire.
Lestat isn’t as good, as what it appears to be, until he’s there, and realized, that he actually cares for Claudia too.
He was always there to save Louie, because he understood why Louie did it.
They’ve also made Lestat far more powerful, than how the books made him, until he drank from Akasha, and he wasn’t so much more powerful than Armand.
I hope they’re setting up Lestat’s story, because it’s very different, from what Louis knew, and who knows how they’ll change things for how his music awakens Akasha, or other plot points, from that dated book.
It’s far superior to Interview, as a reading experience, but it’s not as timeless, because his being a hair metal frontman, in the 1980’s, is how he awakens her, and calls out all the vampires, like they just had Louie do, at the end of this show.
They’ve made Louie, much more powerful and dangerous, as well, as I think who one is made by and drinks from, very much makes huge differences in power.
No one mentioned Marius, other than Armand, in his very short version, of his origin story. So, that will be a nice surprise, for later.
The way they speak of Magnus is odd, because Lestat never even knows his name, unless I’m misremembering it, for. The book. He gets turned, and then the guy jumps in a fire.
It’s been many years, so I’ve likely blended the 90’s movie, other media and a bad memory, all together. Sorry, if I did.

He’s nothing like the book, but a lot is nothing like the books.
I disliked the first season, until the very end, but this season had some of my favorite episodes of a series, so far this year. Odd.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt such a dramatic shift, into a better show.
It’s most likely, that Armand had a plan as well, but they may have changed that, for this adaptation, so Armand can make a bigger sacrifice, in the future.
armand gets no credit. he has save louis TWICE with his life sustaining blood. first while louis was trapped in the crypt and then when louis exposed himself to the sun in san franciso. in neither of those instances was lestat the great white savior.
@@abhishekpackage-pg8lc yeah thanks, make it a race thing
Um..... Lestat clearly wasn't in Paris for revenge. You forget that this has been Louis's self-serving, guilt-ridden and ignorant perspective. Lestat was clearly in Paris to try to save them. He knew that the "trial" play was going to happen whether he comes or not but if he doesn't come then both Claudia and Louis are dead. But if he comes, then he can try to save them, at least one of them. That's why he went off script so much and took responsibility for every wrong he did to them. He was trying to sway the coven's opinion. When that failed, he knew he only had the power to save one of them and he is always going to choose for Louis to live. Because he loves him above anyone and anything else,, including himself.
You sir are correct 👍
Lestat knew he only had the power to save one of them… Like with the army guys in the house he mind F’d like 30 guys to leave… He did the same at the trial, he had no strength left to save Claudia
*_Right on guys!_*
Yes, only a man who loves more than his own eternal life can risk saving his family. Lestat went to Paris to save the three, so much so that he saved Louis, but he no longer had the strength to save Claudia and Madeleine, even though he tried. When the two were murdered in front of him, Lestat fell into despair.
I wasn't surprised that lestat saved Louis he loves him too much I absolutely enjoyed the season 2 finale I really feel bad for Madeleine she truly loved claudia
Madeline probably turned her sister
Lestat felt guilty that he couldn't save Madeline and Claudia but if he did he was make sure they could live for free life
I wish someone would pay Sam Reid to do Lestat's voice on an audio book The vampire Lestat ❤️🩸❤️
omg yes please please please
*_Yes! That would be sick AF._*
Yes! I would love that! His voice is so sexy and hypnotizing!!!
@@dorothymartin4048Cinderdot yes
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Holy Shit, if season 3 is going to be anything like season 2 was, I can't wait!!!
Lestat isn't there for justice. He's there to save Louis. He stayed on script at first to lull the other vampires into thinking he was going along with the plan.
Lestst never went to Paris with the desire for Louis to die. He went there with the intention to try and save Louis because he knew he couldn't save Claudia because of her age.
Also, Lestst didn't rescue Louis because he couldn't. He was still weakened by the attack on him by Louis and Claudia. Lestat at full strength is one of the strongest vampires in existence. Armand nor Louis could kill him even if they teamed up to try. Also at this point they'd have to burn Lestat's body for days to fully destroy him.
Louis attacked Lestat because he choked out Claudia. He literally said "I'm going to choke you like you did our daughter" he was protecting Claudia and snapped it wasn't him assaulting him for no reason. I think that was one of the very few times where he truly protected her like a father would and wasn't putting Lestat before her.
... OUR DAUGHTER ...
Such beautiful words.
I think the only reason that Armand is with Louis is because Louis is a piece of Lestat, The only piece that he can have 😮
which is the real reason that Armand was so quick to give Louis up. When it appeared he was coming to Lestat's aid he didn't hesitate. If you notice in the show, Armand suspected everything from the start and only seduced Louis to get the story out of him, the one that would allow him to put on the play. He knew Lestat would appreciate the theatrics of it all. What he didn't count on was Lestat coming to save Louis and not to run into Armand's savior complex. Everything from his past to louis and Lestat...he always spoke of saving his "loves"...He just never understood why Lestat never wanted or needed a savior. Armand's motives are far less complex than he is being credited for.
I think Armand may even lead the charge for Lestat's death at the concert in season 3. I'm calling it; Akasha will rescue him in the season 3 finale and season 4 will conclude The Queen of the Damned with Akasha's story being told through her blood within Lestat. I feel that the only changes to the original story will revolve around Louis's involvement. It will be much larger in the show and will cause a lot of changes to the narrative including a battle for Lestat between Louis and Akasha where Lestat will have to choose to save Louis once more and turn on Akasha. Which has always been my gripe with the book and the movie. Lestat having any other love entanglements of any significance that is not directly involved with Louis makes no sense. This series will make for a much more in depth and complex story, and I am here for it.
This is absolutely brilliant!!!
@@veronika__asmr_ I don’t believe that. I believe his love for Louis is real. I do think Armand and Lestat have a frenemy/attraction relationship which is much more meaningful to Armand than Lestat. I think Armand wandered into a force field between Louis and Lestat that he deeply resents because he can’t manipulate it, change it, or destroy it.
*_Wow. You're are so right. I feel like I already knew this, but just couldn't articulate it. Good Job!_*
@@BeyondThePaleStudios yessssssssssss
Louie need serious therapy for his mixed up memories. I hope they find somebody that can match Akasha's look in the books, or someone who slightly looks like Aaliyah.
Forget that movie
Just let it slip from your mind
@@teggerzz the soundtrack was PERFECTION
@@seabreeze4559 haha it did introduce me to korn and it did end up being some of their best music.
But yeah, let the update work its magic and forget those old films. Let the post game of thrones television landscape do its thing ;)
@@seabreeze4559 I have both soundtracks of the sorce album (background music) and singing on cds.
@@teggerzzNEVER.
Upon rewatch of episode 8 what Armand did was the ultimate bitch move by taking credit and lying like that but I understand why he did it. A person who was exposed to sexual traumas isn’t going to know what real and genuine love is so he’s gonna build a wall around themselves that’s when that survival instinct kicks in. Armand thought what he and Lestat had was love until Lestat ghosted him so he basically said fuck it I won’t throw my heart away again. Armand allowed his attraction to Louis to blind him for 77 years when in reality he should’ve loved himself enough to be companion enough for himself cuz he doesn’t know how to love.
Why didn't Lestat see Louis already had trauma even he couldn't comprehend? I'm sure he appreciated Lestat but Louis got trackmarks on his heart like love's done him some pain even he doesn't admit or care to talk about anymore.
As a fan of Anne Rice and her books I have to admit this adaptation is fascinating, love the finale I loved How Lestat reminded Louis and Armand he carried Magnus and Akasha’s blood a more ancient vampire that Armand doesn’t even know who she is! Lestat biggest Failure was he was not a good Leader with his fledglings hiding information to “protect” Louis and Claudia was his biggest mistake. Can’t wait for Vampire Lestat when we can see Lestat beginnings his version of story and of course His music Career as a lead Singer. 🔥🔥
Nah, they are gonna do the Vampire Lestat. It’s just how to begin either the telling of his side of the story and the band. Cause, I’m slowly reading it at the moment, and it’s just weird reading part of it, even though I’m like 20-30 pages in.
That manipulative gremlin 😠 I still live him though 😊
QUEEN AKASHA IS COMING!!!!
Sam's interview kinda tells you he didn't want to go, but it was the only way to save Louie. That was his soul intention. Lestat knew they would kill him, and the reason he went was to prevent it. Sam's pov tells you this.
I felt like this iteration of Lestat maybe initially wanted revenge on Claudia and for her to die for what she did to him or at least that's what he told himself but i think deep down in the end he allowed her to die because in his own way he saw it as a mercy, he was correcting the mistake he made when he created her he knew what the dark gift would eventually do to her that being trapped in the body of a child would drive her insane and she would die eventually anyway. I think in his own way he loved her he was definetly proud of her ruthless murderous capabilities but he had no idea how to be a parent his own father was abusive and as much as he hated him he ended up repeating the cycle with Claudia, you can feel his grief at her death and guilt at the end of season 2 but that still doesn't negate the fact that he saw it as necessary, I think he told himself he wasn't prolonging her pain by allowing it to happen but wasn't prepared for how defiantly gruesome her death was.
Neither Lestat or Louis are all saints or victims the point is each of them have their OWN percepective and have reasons for justifying their actions to each other. Lestat did see how bad dropping Louis was until he was focused to rethink his decision when he was hewling in the coffin for all those years. Lestat didn't just "want Louis to be happy" if that was the case he would have let him go on eating animals snd coming to terms of being a vampire on his own. Both Louis and Lestat have their perspectives that doesn't count out each others. They are BOTH were both abusive to each other and need to grow and learn.
This show is Rollin's perspective of the characters and he is showing that all the characters are flawed and contribute to their pain yes Louis was an unreiable source but the key events that broken their relationship is the same. Someone said it perfectly Louis needed Lestat to show him how to embrace the dark gift. While Lestat needed Louis to show him how to embrace his humanity.
*_I agree with you too. I will just say that no one's interpretation that I've seen in the comments are wrong per se. All humans are flawed. We watch the show with our own biased perspectives. It doesn't make you wrong. It only makes you a human that's judging these characters based on your own truth. That doesn't mean that your truth is what's right necessarily. I'm saying your truth could be a lie you've told yourself. Our brains have a duty to lessen the hurt we experience in life even if it means changing the facts to do so. Sorry if I took anyone down a rabbit hole with this one._*
So far they delivered on both seasons. I trust season 3 will be hot and done properly. Obvi fixing the flaws everyone saw in the movie
What flaws actually the screenplay was written by anne rice part of it they got more in the book right in AMC did MC to do much creative liberty
@@arielslack7015 queen of the damned is a guilty pleasure but it was abit meh. It had not the same impact compared to interview with the Vamp. I feel like the screenplay was rushed, therefore i dont really feel for any character there. Unlike the AMC series, i was in tears at times especially season 2 when we acc meet lestat for the first time without anyone describing him.
Because Louie is his Lobster
Forgiveness
It's more than saying sorry...
I don’t think Lestat wanted Claudia to die I truly believe if he could he would have saved her too because in this scene Claudia is 46 years old but when she looks at lestat it’s a look of a child and you can see when he looks at her at the end he sees her as a child his child and you can see him break that he watched her die but at the end he knew he had to save Louis
We wasn’t surprised.
I hope they don’t skip over the vampire lestate there is definitely a story there I can wait for queen of the damned honestly it annoyed me they went right to it in the movies and I agree that movie was terrible
How could they?! Sam is a fan favorite. He will consume the next season for sure!
@@WilliamsPinchyes they should follow the books in order I’m confident they keep giving what they did in interview it will be AMAZING! I remember loving that book I even named my cat Gabrielle after his mother I loved her. It was an atrocity they glossed over his story in the movie I mean Queen of the damn still bout him but that’s because lestat is the star and also they change things just enough there’s plenty of room for Louie Armand and Daniel even clawdia to come back in the show on different time lines. I think fans would LOVE that! Especially Clawdia since she died.
@@AriellaSurfgirl In the 4th book Lestat is haunted by Claudia, though it's hard to tell whether he's actually seeing her ghost or just imagining her. It would be easy enough to include that storyline in Season 3.
@@hollyvanwye9294what im saying I think the audience would loose their minds in a good way to bring her back for flashbacks or whatever Tale of the body theif we gotta a lot of time if ever I hope it gets there but say 2 seasons a book that be season 7 unless they gloss over his book and make it one season I think queen of the damned be least 2 so still season 6
@@AriellaSurfgirl They're deviating quite a bit from the books so there's no reason why their 3rd season shouldn't feature Claudia's ghost. Both Lestat & Louis are still feeling guilt and grief so these hauntings would seem quite natural. And then there 's a character in the 3rd book, a Talamasca agent, who visits Lestat's original townhouse in New Orleans and hears a young girl playing the harpsichord! Since TV Claudia's timeline begins in the 20th century instead of the 18th, that storyline would have to make it a more modern instrument...or maybe it could just be her apparition doing something else entirely!
I know we've been talking about Least here, and yes I too felt and knew it was Lestate saving Louis his one true love. But what I still can't understand is why if Armond wanted Louis to die on the stage did he go back and save Louis from the box? Why did he let him out? Why didn't he just put it back like it was never moved? Armond could go out into the sun the rest of them couldn't, so it seems to me like the vampires all went into there coffins very early in the night because Louis seems to have had a lot of time and was in no danger of the sun catching him. Maybe Louis arrived just as night fell and they hadn't gotten up yet? 🤔 I have so many unanswered questions, I just don't know. Hopefully we can answer more questions in season 3, I believe the sun has no affect on Least, because of two clues. One even though he reached his hand out quickly and pulled it back in in the coffin Louis left him there was no smoke coming off his arm in the daylight. Two when Least carried Louis back up the stairs after he ran out of the house and got burned, I remember Lestat put him down and then closed the skylight, where the sun was coming in from the ceiling. If he was truly affected by the sunlight, he wouldn't have had it open in the first place. Remember there were things he did to hide just how powerful he actually was from Louis.
season 3 is coming hopefully.
The show got renewed for a third season production starts this fall 🍂🍁👻
There is just one thing that I just don’t understand. When Armand rehearsed the trial play, did he count with saving Luis or did he intended to kill him?
Question: do you like aged Molloy story line of would it be better if they made a story line in which Dany is young and a vampire doing interview; kinda don't get why they changed part in which Armand turn Daniel in youth
I kinda do wish we got Vampire baby Daniel. He was so cute & goofy 😂
I wonder if they will still pursue that romance or do something else, maybe merging other characters together. As it stands, a romance between those 2 wouldn't make much sense. Not just because of age, but because they have zero chemistry and hate each other. But you never know.
There is still a possibility of getting young vampire Daniel. Remember - Daniel had been bitten by both Louis & Armand when he was younger. As he becomes more powerful, he could keep getting younger until he reaches the age when he was first bitten.
@@ravenkushner I could imagine someone being inspired by Daniel's book to go conduct their own interview finding Armand in the process. And Daniel could be merged with other characters if he keeps having contact with the talamasca
@@PerfectlyImperfect93 goofy he was borderline insane cause Armand was literally pursuing him😂 but when he got the dark gift he was more appreciative of it than the others
I really didn’t like the majority of the first season, and the changes in time seemed pointless, other than for the sake of doing it, until this season showed changes, and how they’d do their adaptation.
Season 2 was such a better show. It’s like they switched show runners or something.
What's interesting how good that show is it's really not that Ann Rice but it's a damn good series.
Agreed that this was possibly the greatest episode, especially the last scene with Lestat and Louis. However one screwup: The "play" is supposed to be just that, humans pretending. Santiago flies with a rope. But twice, Lestat suddenly appeared in the back of the audience, no rope. And then he appeared back in his chair, instantly and with no rope. Oops.
They made about 3 screwups in Season One, too.
I don’t think that was a mistake by the screenwriters, I think that was intentional to show that Lestat didn’t follow the rules of the play. He became emotional and angry and zipped to the back of the audience to target that guy then zipped back. He broke the rules just like he didn’t follow the script, especially when he became emotional and apologized to Louis.
Can someone help me understnad why Lestat didn't save Claudia? At the end of episode 8, he was upset about Claudia's death.
I'm confused....I never watched this series...but I'm 100 percent aware of the movie and book...I'm confused how is Louie black???? Was the story changed? Is he no longer a plantation owner???
if lestat can be forgiven for dropping louis from 20,000 feet above the earth, then armand can be forgiven anything and then thanked for not only saving louis' life, but also ungrateful molloy.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ARMAND WOULD WANT LOUIS DEAD?? IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. WHY DID HE SAVE HIM LATER THEN? ALSO WHY WOULD HE KILL CLAUDIA WHEN SHE HAD ALREADY LEFT? I KNOW ARMAND'S BIGGEST OBJECTIVES ARE 1)GETTING RID OF THE COVEN BUT HAVING SOMEONE ELSE DO IT FOR HIM 2)NOT BEING ALONE AKA HAVING LOUIS SO WHY??
@EliasMantrino: I understand your frustration! Read my response to my own comment (first comment) and see if that explanation makes sense to you. It's just my theory, but it seems to fit.
@@ravenkushner Thanks!I just read your response..very valid points made. Armand's "love" must be very weird I guess. The gap I see seems to be coming from Armand's love for Louis as he's placing the coven and the Laws above Louis despite being very powerfuI. His love pales in comparison to Lestat's. I will acknowledge that Armand may not feel like Louis actually loves him back though and Lestat has never been super obedient to the Law or religion. I think the show also wants to leave room for further seasons including different character perspectives so we'll see.
Dreadful movie? The disrespect.
I can also say I really truly believe if the stop would have just given Claudia a partner that none of that s*** would have ever happened they would have lived happily ever after but then not giving her a partner was the biggest mistake because of course she was going to want someone to spend her time with and get old with so it is really sad the way that it ended
I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not but after watching it I'm honestly so in love with lestat and the other character I mean I literally cried at the end of the season you could just tell how much time left him and I hated the way Louie treated him 0 I was honestly like so beautiful like I literally bawled like a baby
But the only thing I wasn't sure about was at the end when he went back to the start it's like did they get back together I hope he did because again with that really loved him and they should end up together so hopefully they do end up together because Lisa really loved him with all his heart
