Something I haven't seen anyone talk about before is the parallel between the pilot episode and 3x06. I'm talking about this scene in particular.

It's a beautiful scene, partly improvised, but I'm talking about the framing. The background, the lighting-- for a moment there it doesn't look like they're in the streets, but it looks like it's a confessional booth. More specifically, it looks very similar to Louis' confessional booth from the pilot episode.

In the pilot episode, Louis has this really emotional confession, after which Lestat comes in, kills the priest, and they 'get married'. We don't know how much Lestat heard of his confession, but we don't need to know. Lestat knew, because he read his mind. He knew what Louis was going through, knew about his deepest, darkest thoughts and desires and all about his shame. And still, on the altar, he wanted to spend the rest of his immortal life with him.

In 3x06, this is paralleled. This is the reveal of Lestat's biggest, most well-kept secret (through really unethical means but this is not about that). Lestat didn't want for it to be revealed in this manner, but he later admits that deep down, he wanted Louis to know.

So Louis has everything revealed to Lestat, and Lestat still loves him and wants to be with him. Lestat then also has everything revealed to Louis, and Louis holds him and kisses his hair and tells him it's going to be okay. He still loves him, and later on in the episode he confirms they're back together (in some capacity).

They take turns in the confessional booth, but the result is the same. They love each other no matter what and it brings them closer together.

One thing I do like about this season, and Armand as a character in general in the show, is that whenever he enters a room, it is almost impossible for the comedic and lighthearted tone to remain when he is in the scene. Like "it's Lestat's hour," but when he's in a scene, he either makes the pace slow down and/or brings with him a feeling of eeriness or solemnity that wasn't there before, which it's a breather in this season given the stylistic choices made in general.

MINOR Spoilers for TVL ep7!!!

I figured we wouldn't have as much Claudia content in this episode since she was featured so heavily in ep 6 but LORD the side by side shots of Gabriella forcing Lestat to watch the witches burning and Lestat forcing Claudia to watch Charlie in the incinerator... the fact that we now have it EXPLICITLY shown that Lestat's parenting style is deeply affected by the way Gabriella raised him and the fact that his relationship with her was so twisted makes it all the more important to know that he really did try; He picked out pretty outfits for her and taught her how to hunt and called her affectionate nicknames and as many mistakes as he may have made he never wanted to raise her in a household that was cold and void of love as his was. He forced her to watch Charlie burn because he wanted her to see the dangers of love- "This is what it is when we get close to someone and we can't control it. Don't do what I did. Don't lose again like I have." And it was twisted but it was his genuine attempt to protect her at a young age from what he experienced with Nicky... I'M ILLLLLL

Can everyone on iwtv/tvl twitter please calm down? My timeline is flooded with people so quick to talk in absolutes. So quick to say a big sweeping statement with no actual substance. There are definitely critiques I have for this season, and the finale, but overall I had a great time. The nuance show made you uncomfortable but all the writers are horrible? Like what? Seriously this level of media illiteracy and morality policing has no place in gothic spaces.
