I mean, I won't be fully sold until s3 but this would make a lot more sense. If Armand's hand hadn't been forced by Santiago and the coven he wouldn't have had to wait for the right moment to sneak Louis out of the crypt. He would've just done it out in the open, right after the play was over if he was still in charge didn't have to worry about going behind Santiago and the coven's backs.

and what if I told you Assad Zaman said Armand didn’t orchestrate Claudia’s death and Santiago really did force him and he wasn’t lying about anything other than directing the play. what then.

…

Armand told the truth.

#iwtv s2 #iwtv cast #assad zaman #armand iwtv #iwtv #and the sad part is that it still doesn't change anything re: loumand's doomed relationship #and louis' resentment toward armand #the only important details there are: 1 lestat saved louis not armand #2. armand directed the play that killed louis' daughter (willing participant or no)#3. armand knew what was coming and didnt warn louis #4. armand never told louis lestat was the one who saved him #armand being forced by santiago to direct the play does more for armand as a character tho #particularly re: the deeply rooted learned helplessness #santiago or no. armand's definitely being honest when he says he couldn't have prevented it #bc in his mind he couldn't have #he's never been free to make a choice in his entire life #regardless of how physically strong he is or how much nominal authority he has in a given situation #he's been a commodity as far back as he's able to remember #after centuries of being renamed and unmade and reshaped for the use of others #agency's as nebulous a concept as his own name
