Interview with the Vampire: Episode 1 Reaction

Having the reporter being the framing device is cool

"I offer you my full attention and my life story." Okay, this vampire has an ego, huh?

"You have parkinsons." - oooh

Why is this show giving me House vibes? Neither of these people are very likeable.

Is that a sword?

Oh okay he said knife but how many knives have holsters?

"I dream of what a quiet breakfast might look like." - The sister is the best character so far.

Blondie's cute

He thinks so too, apparently.

Oh the knife came from the walking stick? That was so quick, I didn't catch it.

"Who the devil?" - Exactly

Oh yikes, they're doing the historical racism uncomfortably well.

So Paul has some kind of mental illness?

Miss Lily is gorgeous

Okay, so that whole thing was a trap to drink his blood?!

"I had never allowed myself to feel emotionally close to anyone." - Oh being a man in the 1910s sounds... just terrible.

Ooh the tap dancing at the wedding is fun

Ooooh nooooo Paul

Not the mum blaming him?

Ooooh my god I forgot Christians think that? Fuuuck he doesn't need that guilt!

And yet the French accent is still so pretty

Oh Lestat is a dick! "Miss Lily is a poor substitute." She's a woman, not an object.

"He would not allow it." - Oh that's unsettling

"Miss Lily died two weeks ago." - Nooooo

Oh that confession scene hurts

What the fuuuccckkkk???

The slow motion horror style set up and then he punched through his brain?!

"I love you Louis." - No, you're obsessed, which is a different thing.

Wait... vampires have blue eyes? I didn't even notice the change in colour until the end.

You know, it's kinda funny how much of high fantasy centers around kings and nobility and courtly intrigue considering that the archetypal high fantasy, Lord of the Rings, had the rather explicit moral of "saving the world is up to this backwater hick and his gardener because no politician, least of all inherited nobility, would have the ability to see past their own ambition and throw away a weapon". Oh sure, Aragorn is a great king and all, but there's a reason he's over there running a distraction ring while the hobbits do the real work. Sauron loses because he gets distracted by kings and armies and great battles (i.e. typical high fantasy stuff) letting Frodo and Sam sneak through his back door and blow it all to hell.

Just saying, maybe old Jirt knew what he was saying when he said that the small folk doing their best and holding to each other was more powerful than a dozen alliances and superweapons and we should respect him for it.

forever fascinated by the many machinations of brennan's mind. image description in alt text, below, or at this reblog, originally from @arctic-hands

[Image Description: tweet by Brennan Lee Mulligan, @ BrennanLM. It says "While the statement 'Even educated fleas can do it' may at first seem inclusive, it actually suggests an insect society sharply divided by class, where access to institutions of higher learning is seen as prerequisite to the full range of natural emotions. In this TED talk I will–". In response, Sam Reich, @ SamReich, tweets "for the love of god brennan it's valentine's day", to which Brennan responds "Not for the working class fleas it's not! #Solidarity ["solidarity" in allcaps]" End I.D.]

as much as I get why lucanis is positioned as the one needed to kill ghilan'nain as the mage killer etc, I can't help but feel like it should've been davrin

like. there's something about the dalish elf with andruil's vallaslin, a grey warden, a monster hunter, hunting down the mother of all monsters, who creates monstrosities with the blight, who was once andruil's beloved.

ghilan'nain created the halla. she still cares for the halla, despite what she's become, despite being unable to create them anymore. davrin cared for the halla under his uncle's tutelage. assan cares for and nurses a sick and dying halla. assan, who's name means arrow in elven, when andruil's weapon was a bow, who's hunting instincts give way to something more protective.

davrin was taught the way of the three trees. it was created by andruil. andruil, the goddess of the hunt, also known as the goddess of sacrifice. davrin feels like a weapon sharpened to make that final sacrifice against the blight, a tool that once drove andruil mad, and has twisted ghilan'nain into something unrecognisable. andruil, blood and force, who loved a mortal for her creations and raised her to godhood.

would ghilan'nain see andruil in him? would that offer something more to her character than just oh she's evil?

the dalish tell a legend of ghilan'nain and a hunter who bested her. maybe it was a prophecy instead.
