I love the iwtv episode titles because like-

'I Could Not Prevent it' (Spoiler alert: he could totally prevent it)

'That's the end of it, there's nothing else' (Spoiler alert: there is something else. Quite a lot else actually.)

- Why this suit?

- It's my favorite on you.

- Really? I didn't know that. Well, it's quite nice, I suppose. Herringbone wool, notched collar. You might not know this, but I had the tailer inscribe your initials on the back side of the ticket pocket. Right here. So your name would always cradle…

fear and desire

I love the set up for Louis in episode 1, in like. The narrative shows and tells us the ways mortal Louis is a metaphorical vampire already—"There's blood on your shirt. What wickedness is it tonight?" And "I profit off the miseries of other men and I do it easy...I lure them in and take what they got, Lord." Louis is alluring, he's persuasive, he's charming. He's a "Lestat" type of vampire—(I am gentleman death, come to snuff out the candles)

They do the same thing for Daniel in 2x5—"a little dirty, but enterprising" and "a splinter of coldness in you" and "bartering with desire" (is that what makes you fascinating) and "an eager black hole." Daniel is Hungry. For information and truth and story, for understanding. He's ravenous. He's an addict. He's a vampire like Armand is—he gets in people's heads.

I cannot WAIT! for how they'll play mortal Lestat along the same formula, because it's so plainly and beautifully alluded to in the book. Lestat, by sheer force of will and this like, ANIMAL survival instinct, cheats death. He lives in places where other men die. He fights Magnus and comes at him with blunt human nails and teeth, snarling like a beast to get away. His dogs die fighting a pack of wolves, and he's left sitting in the cold, in the snow in the mountains, only warm because he's covered in blood.

That "gentleman death" type of Lestat is something he created out of thin air. Lestat was a bright young actor, who is now stuck playing the role of a vampire, but refuses to do it badly.

Lestat in this fit!
