Random thoughts during e1 of The Vampire Lestat
Let us begin. Recap. Well you already know what happened in the last two seasons donāt ya?! If not, catch up! Weāll wait. In the meantimeā¦yay!Ā
Getting True Blood vibes from the opening. Armand! Aw. Louis! Aw. And Lestat goes full Banksy. Of course. Of course!
He really oozes sex, does he? Lestat I mean.Ā
Crotch shot. Nice.
Christine. Poor Christine. Pour one out for Christine.
Sam with pin straight hair and a turtle neck? No. Ew no. Fuck no.
āRey-ditā
Daniel! Aw.
āMoiā/āToiā
ā¦.oh thatās what that look was about! Aw. Touchy subject, Daniel.
Agreed, Lululemon isnāt sexy and locking up baby formula is a crime. Who knew Lestat was so in touch with modern world?
Didnāt the Jellyroll and Post Malone face tattoo tour get cancelled?
Woo! Quebecois! NO THANK YOU! Crash-out begins in 3ā¦.2ā¦1ā¦
Baby Armand, baby Claudiaā¦.aw.
Bauhaus would argue that one, my friend.
lol. Vampons.
Heās so dramatic. Jesus.
Danielās raised hand. Ha. I meanā¦same.
Donāt mix uppers and downers, kids. Just donāt do it! Itās all fun and games until itās not and then itās too late. Thereās no floating on the ceiling. If youāre lucky, you wake up in the hospital wondering what the hell happened.
This isnāt my Mojo.
This isnāt my Baby Jenks either. The ceiling bit, sure. But she was a biker! Sorry. Maybe sheāll come back āin characterā later on.
I knew it! The scars were always there! Fan theory confirmed.Ā
Donāt use the phone while peeing, guys. Please. Thatās weird. And ew.
Are there really TVs in the boyās washroom?
Poor Lestat. He really needs to cool it with the drug blood.
The 4th best thing.
Wait. Pause. This is all veryā¦Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Like in format. The time jumping back and forth, the voiceover that is both self deprecating but still smug. Itās faster, obviously, but the notes are definitely there. Do feel it? No? Just me? Anyways, resume.
āIām in charge of my work life balance.ā
Okay Fang Gang. Jesus.
OMG! It happened! Holy shit! The DJ!
Itās his mother, isnāt it? Come to rescue her son.
ā¦.yes it is.Ā
All in all, it feltā¦different. Goofier. But the book was different too. So I wonāt hold that it against it. It did feel rushed though and scattered. It might feel that way though because IWTV was very linear and slow. They had two seasons to stretch a book and we were following Louis and who was around Louis. Not so much this time around. We have a lot of characters to check in with and only so many episodes to do everything in.
I will say though, Iām putting my foot down with Mojo. I want the puppy! I hope we get a glimpse of the actual Mojo. Or at least a mention of him. Heās not a car!
Itās nice we got confirmation that the scars were always there and that they were either written out of IWTV or Louis just stopped seeing them because they were part of Lestat and Lestat was perfect (physically) in his eyes.
Anyways, all in all 8.5/10. Needs a rewatch and I, of course, will be eagerly waiting for next weekās episode! Iām looking forward to Gabrielle and going back into Lestatās childhood.
