I was greatly concerned about the interpretation of Lestat, who's one of my favorite characters in media. I've always wanted to see him portrayed the way it should be and unfortunately in the books Louis was too unreliable to give us that.
BUT with this episode I can see all the sweet layers of who Lestat is, also... Sam? Daaaaamn I was wrong, the media has been giving me twink drama club Lestat for too long and I needed my jock drama club Lestat from the books.
I also really enjoyed how this story of Louis is going and I'm shipping these two harder than any other couple out there. I know I'm setting myself up for heartbreak but oh well... it's the price for good media I guess.
