The Paul scene in the finale was so beautiful, it was so unexpected but then so perfectly poetic in hindsight. The callback to a character we only saw in s1 01 but who has haunted louis, the origin of his grief. Full circle, the acknowledgement that louis loves him even if he is never able to say it! COMING FROM PAUL. the acceptance and validation of his love for louis by someone louis cared about so much, whose death was why louis was so scared to say the words to anyone else. The last person to hear it from louis, telling lestat who has always had louis' love for their immortal life but needed to Know it. Sitting shoulder by shoulder looking at the white light, a kinder world. It makes you think that if things would have been different paul and lestat could one day have gotten along quiet well. They share a similar relationship with religion, and a kind of sentimentality; the birds talking to paul and lestat's dream of transcribing birdsong in the woods! And of course this isn't even GOING INTO "i still wish you were a woman though" "me too, sometimes" WHAT
