#I’m sad they didn’t keep the more serial killer-y parts of Claudia’s character in season two

[in-kyblogs]

Part I Ep 5 (chuckles nervously)

- I remember Rolin saying Assad did his best subtle Armand here so looking out for it. Already when he talks about Claudia writing down her victims last words, Daniel says “I can’t think of something more fucked up than this” and Armand goes yeah I can

- Okkkk so they are having their weird sex thing in front of Daniel. I won’t comment further you all saw this shit.

Ok I lied I will comment but come onnnn he was making eye contact with Daniel while Louis sucked him!

- The honey and pineapple comment: the first time I was like oh they are trying to rattle Daniel but now I also see how Armand looks at him during this exchange. Really best instance of subtle Armand. Also there’s the fact that at various times Louis tries to sell to Daniel the idea of turning him, since episode one really, when he says “your diagnosis it winds your clock”. What if Louis and Armand really had an agreement, he lets the interview happen in exchange for Louis turning Daniel?

- Here Armand is also specifically explaining himself to Daniel, even if he doesn’t -allegedly- know him at all, just like he does later in season 2.

- “I wouldn’t let you near my neck” he said, you know, like a liar

- Armand comes to pull back Louis when Daniel is poking him about Bruce and Louis messes with Daniel’s Parkinson. He raises his hands in surrender. Armand then apologises on Louis behalf (can I say knight in shining armour). Three levels here: Louis being prone to violent outbursts, Rashid being more powerful than he lets on, Armand not being totally disinterested in Daniel’s wellbeing.

Part I Ep 1

- the tapes. No postage on it, I remember noticing that they put emphasis on this when I first watched episode 1: Daniel turns the package in his hands looking for it. They were hand delivered. Of course it’s a stretch, but it seems probable to me that Louis or Armand are quite regularly hanging around Daniel’s house and not just making the trip for the first time when delivering those

- Literally the first shot of Daniel in the Dubai penthouse has Rashid (Armand) serving him tea. Both Daniel and Armand’s faces in the very first shot in there* might allude only to the Armand reveal but still. They put him in a shot with Daniel and not with Louis

- not dm related but fucking hell the shot of Louis burning his arm right in front of Armand’s face is sick so sick

- Daniel says the best drug he ever had was in Berckely, 1978. I remember people pointing out that in the books that’s the year Armand gives him blood (I didn’t fact check this)
