IWTV: S2E3 - No Pain

The theme continues… unreliable narrators, memory and the owner of the story.

It was very on the nose this time. Molloy, the documenter (ostensibly he tells truths as a journalist but we should never be so trusting as to forget that journalists, too, have an angle), being told stories, the truth of which he is trying to decipher. He grills and he listens, conjectures, and he is force-fed nuggets of the past. The constructed story, the tag-teamed memories that Louis and Armand share are, at their best, rose stained half-truths. At their worse, they are lies. I suppose there is no guarantee that immortality guarantees a clear and exact memory. This is not, after all, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue.

No Pain made the early decision to remind us what we're getting in Season 2 ...

Omikase.

( Did he break you, Louis? Are you broken? )

IWTV S2E4 - I Want You More Than Anything in the World

Let's talk about Louis -- how he's been transformed from the melancholy, self-flagellating moral mess to almost equal parts temper and angst, ever balanced between joy and hope and rage.

I can't compare this series to the books because it is a different beast altogether, and I LOVE the changes.

( Louis: You promised you wouldn’t talk. Lestat: I love you. )
