As a longtime fan of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, I’ve been eagerly devouring each new episode of A Discovery of Witches, and I must say, I’m utterly captivated by this dark, seductive world. Having grown up in the deep south, I can’t help but be drawn to the rich, sultry tones of Louis and Armand’s lives – their decadence, their passion, and their unending thirst for knowledge and connection.
Phew, I was on the edge of my seat after finishing “Interview With the Vampire” season two! The announcement of a new season hadn’t been made yet, and I knew producing this show isn’t cheap or simple. To make things worse, the season finale was titled “And That’s the End of It. There’s Nothing Else.” I feared they might abandon Louis, Lestat, Armand, and Daniel’s tales to focus solely on the Talamasca spin-off. Don’t get me wrong; Raglan James’ provisions shop in Marylebone is wonderful, but my interest lies with the original “Interview With the Vampire” series. I crave 17 more books’ worth of adventures for these characters! Thankfully, the news came that it’s returning, and we’ll see a Rockstar Lestat storyline unfold. Now, I can relax and savor this season finale without worry.
Laughs uncontrollably, only to add, “Just joking! I’m still in awe and bewilderment, as usual.” In our last interview for the show’s initial storyline, Louis shares his experience of being entombed alive in a coffin, while Armand appears to exaggerate. I can understand why Louis would be distraught after being buried and deprived of food by those who killed his sister-daughter. However, it is what it is. Disappointingly, Armand has been relegated to the background with Santiago now in charge as maître. It’s infuriating that, following all the tears and carnage, not to mention a successful coup, Santiago continues to run the coven in the same old way.
In a captivating turn of events, Armand extracts Louis from his tomb and propels him into a second life, consumed entirely by fury and insanity, reminiscent of a bleak continuation of “Inside Out” with Jacob Anderson delivering an exceptional portrayal. He mumbles to himself, engages in dialogue with the deceased, scuttles around on the ground mapping out plans, and even gnaws on a motorcycle fuel line akin to Furiosa’s defiance. One fateful evening, Louis issues Armand a stern warning about avoiding the witches’ den before sauntering into their lair, dousing their coffins with gasoline. The ensuing scene is accompanied by thrilling old-fashioned espionage music and features an intriguing moment of Louis in Claudia’s mirror where (presumably) Santiago has scrawled “Tweedily deedily dead” in elegant cursive. He grabs her diaries and flees with them as the room ignites, the vampires shriek from their coffins, and he secures a count of six fatalities: four by fire, one by blade, and another by a combination thereof. This leaves only two survivors – Celeste and Estelle – who make hasty escapes on motorcycles before meeting their explosive ends. (Try saying “kablooey” without thinking of Louis.)
In the depths of the tunnels, Santiago is making his hasty exit when suddenly, the voices of his female henchmen fade away in their Discord telepathic chat. Enraged by this development, Santiago shouts out in fury. Just then, Louis uses a forbidden telepathic message, deadnaming Santiago, leading to an unprecedented villainous tirade from Santiago. He demands to know from Louis if Armand had shared information about what the group had done with Claudia’s ashes. The revelation could leave audiences shocked.
For the next month’s shows, we utilized her as an eyeshadow substitute, storing them in a pepper shaker for the popcorn we hawked in the aisles. At times, Louis, I’d grab a pinch of these and clench them in my fist before retiring to my resting place at night. I would then spit on them and use their hot, wet remains to derive pleasure.
These writers should face a public trial for their actions! Guilty verdict handed down! Exile is the consequence! Teasingly, Santiago is mocked by Louis about his small stature. In response, the once-Francis vampire emerges from a manhole cover and meets his end at the hands of Louis, who swiftly beheads him with a sleek, blade strike. Concluding an entertaining, whimsical, and slightly revolting ordeal of retribution.
Afterward, there’s a heartfelt scene showing Louis and Armand the next morning in Louis’s apartment. Sunlight trickles in through a curtain gap, casting a stark contrast between the lovers. Armand confesses to Louis that he kept crucial information from him regarding the coven’s intentions – they planned to sacrifice him. That evening, Armand guides Lou to the Bane Pit, where Lestat was born and now resides in hiding. “I came here to ponder,” Armand explains, “about my past.” In upcoming seasons, we will delve deeper into Armand’s origins, but for now, Lestat shares that his cruel maker Magnus had a unique talent for design – featuring Nordic blondes on walls and heaps of dirty blonds near where the gargoyle now stands. A frown crosses Armand’s face as he mutters “Ijbol.”
I’m an avid fan of this intriguing tale, and from my perspective, Louis harbors a strong desire to eliminate Lestat due to his mysterious ability to survive immolation. Lestat casually drops the bombshell that he carries the blood of Akasha within him, leaving Louis puzzled. RIP, Aaliyah, you would have been thrilled by this captivating series.
As a seasoned fan of the Vampire Chronicles, I’ve read and reread every line of this captivating series with bated breath. This latest revelation about Armand and Lestat, however, left me utterly astounded.
Gather your belongings and depart. He bids farewell to Daniel, shakes hands with him, and sets fire to his laptop before departing. Where is he headed?
Wow, off to New Orleans! For a whimsical reason, Louis decides to join a ghost tour at his old house. There, he encounters a young vampire named Lestat, who resides in a run-down Southern Gothic dwelling. Lestat is disheveled and playing an unreal piano. In a haze, Lestat explains that he’s busy rehearsing for a tour. This moment brings home to the audience how much we’ve missed Lestat throughout the season, not just in flashbacks or as a ghostly presence, but in the flesh. Sam Reid delivers an outstanding performance as this infatuated and erratic immortal character, a former ego-maniac on a tumultuous journey. Reid portrays Lestat so convincingly that I can’t help but suspect a miniature Lestat is hiding in his hair, manipulating him like a marionette. Louis inquires why he didn’t mention saving him during the trial. “I don’t like to boast about my good deeds,” Lestat replies, telling a colossal falsehood. He dismisses it as insignificant, but it carries great weight.
Amidst the raging hurricane, they experience a heartfelt, tearful reunion – a breathtaking moment that beautifully concludes the season. This poignant scene serves as a perfect counterpart to the “you and me, me and you” dialogue from the premiere episode. It’s a cathartic encounter where Louis acknowledges his mistakes and they both weep for Claudia. Their intense embrace is so powerful that the house seemingly crumbles around them.
In a surprising turn of events, we shift focus to Daniel, appearing on the Atlanta local news, peddling his blockbuster memoir, “Interview With the Vampire,” which has astonishingly sold five million copies. The interviewer expresses skepticism about why Daniel, a renowned journalist, chose to write a fantastical monster tale. Daniel insists, “It’s true! I swear it! Vampires exist!”
Additionally, every vampire around the world is enraged at Louis for revealing their secret in the publication. They’re determined to make him pay by torturing and eliminating him since vampires typically resort to brutal methods to address their issues. Through a telepathic communication channel, Louis challenges them all to come after him at his heavily fortified penthouse in Dubai. He even offers to leave the doors unlocked. “This is a warning for all you braggarts who have been threatening me. Listen closely: I control the night.” Yes indeed!
Notes on Vamp
Among the deceased vampires enclosed in the walls are: Zacharie Brun (lived from 1653 to 1723), Charlotte Lavigne (born in 1821, died in 1899), and Nicolas de Lenfent (lived from 1769 to 1796). Despite their eternal existence, the lives of vampires are surprisingly brief due to the constant violence and melancholy.
On Armand and Louis’s shelf: There’s “Anna Karenna” by Tolstoy, works by Sartre, a volume about Voltaire’s life, and “Un ennemi du peuple.” Are they avid fans of Jeremy Strong?
• Who was Armand spoon-feeding gray gruel to during the montage of Louis’s time in the wall?
• Of course, RJ texts like “That’s an intriguing request …”
• Of course, Daniel’s username is Pulitzerootwo.
• “If I’m not with him, I’m nothing.” Armand is so disordered in a very relatable way.
“Ben Daniels’ performance this season was remarkably impressive, making her seemingly insignificant thoughts appear minuscule in comparison.”
A authentic jolt as Louis unexpectedly kicks Santiago’s headless blonde skull towards the camera. The same action occurs in the book.
• If there’s one thing 1940s Armand was going to be doing, it was wearing suspenders.
I couldn’t help but feel uneasy when Louis and Armand invited Daniel for dinner after their interview, with Louis making an ominous comment about having something “special” prepared. It gave me the chilling suspicion that they might have had sinister plans for Daniel, but perhaps I’m jumping to conclusions? Maybe it was just a delicious surprise meal they wanted to share.
Sam has been cleared of his wrongdoing! It’s now confirmed that “Agent VSB” from the “Trial!” series is indeed “Vampire Sam Barclay.” He was once a trusted contact of the Talamasca based in Paris, a monarch and an ally whose loyalty I should have never questioned under any circumstances.
“Here, we should add an animation for clarity. The extent of the hoarding isn’t clearly depicted in the current script.” (Armand’s script notes are wickedly amusing.)
Lestat exclaimed, “Claudia’s power is beyond what you can imagine!” Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in challenging relationships with their strong-willed daughters.
• “Worrisome fledgling. All the millennials are.” Yep.
• Lestat going “Siri pause” got a huge laugh from this intrepid recapper.
• A great line: “I didn’t know it was a gift. I wore it like a curse.”
• Another great line is when Daniel calls the Washington Post the “Bezos Bugle.”
• The news bleeped out Daniel saying, “Blow me!”
An essential step in Louis’ healing process following the break-up is inviting the past back into his life instead of isolating himself. By putting up Claudia’s dress and a portrait of his brother on the walls, he transforms them into engaging pieces of art rather than mere relics.
As a longtime fan of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, I’m excitedly imagining the possibilities for season three. Based on my personal connection to this captivating world, I believe that an intriguing structure for the upcoming installment could be: A-plot: Lestat’s Eras Tour documentary – a behind-the-scenes exploration of his enigmatic and thrilling existence; B-plot: Louis’s action-packed journey akin to John Wick or Yakuza, filled with intense storming-the-tower scenes; C-plot: the development of Daniel and Armand’s complex relationship from bitter enemies to passionate lovers.
