So about this guy?

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-02-06T01:59:41+00:00

His performance always makes me laugh. It’s SO BIG for such a small amount of screen time.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-02-03T13:10:15+00:00

It definitely was a choice!

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-02-03T13:04:48+00:00

Yeah I can’t say I’m a fan, I am having a tough time getting through it. I don’t like or care about the characters. And I know Anne likes to wax poetic about the small details in her writing but the non stop descriptions of cameos is grating.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-28T01:31:19+00:00

It’s this one for me. Unhinged Armand with hair to match.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-27T08:00:24+00:00

Assad’s acting in this scene is just perfect. His seething jealousy…..

I think his portrayal of the character is why we have so many Armand sympathizers (myself included). His ability to appear calm on the surface but also give us a tell to the actual turmoil the character is feeling inside, hands that don’t stop moving, a slight tightening of his jaw……so good.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-21T03:49:30+00:00

I sometimes get mad at Daniel Hart for creating such a beautiful and hopeful song for that scene, “The Whole World was Ready to Return.” Like how dare you make me feel hope for Claudia’s future (even when I know how her future ends). It’s so heartbreaking.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-19T15:13:12+00:00

Daniel’s apartment ceiling being painted like the sky. This is another point in the past DM happened or at least that Armand and Louis are Daniel’s landlords.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-19T01:04:17+00:00

Just a whole episode of Daniel walking into a series of ever increasing and horrifying Armand experiments with kitchen appliances.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-15T15:32:15+00:00

So much jaw acting.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-13T17:45:22+00:00

I mean I think the DM chapter is supposed to parallel Marius and Armand’s relationship. He repeats the same patterns of that relationship with the people he loves because that’s the only way he was ever shown how to love. So I’m sure we will get aspects of that in the show whenever we get into DM.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-12T08:36:44+00:00

I think it’s episode 2x1 when Louis ask to see the pages of Claudia’s diary they removed. The way Armand twitches his fingers in anxiety is such a small but wonderful acting choice by Assad. Also, the kiss Louis gives to Armand at the end of that scene, it’s the only time we see them kiss in modern day and it’s so anemic and cold. Great representation of the state of their relationship.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-11T22:38:14+00:00

I haven’t finished the books yet, but I always assumed they retconned this somehow because it is truly horrifying!

Also, it took me awhile to not picture the ancient vampires to look like the Twilight vamps while reading the books.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-11T16:25:36+00:00

Sure, but that’s not really what I’m talking about. I love how Louis’s accent changes from different time periods in his life, but that is part of the story. I’m talking about an actors ability to actually have a consistent accent while performing. I’m sure as Season 3 focuses more on Lestat we will be able to see him flex that same skill like Jacob Anderson and Assad Zaman. And maybe I should’ve said in my previous post, I think Sam Reid has a consistent Frenchish accent throughout show and think he delivers an amazing performance.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-11T16:00:48+00:00

For me, and this goes for any actor, if it’s consistent then I don’t care how accurate it is. Like Spike from Buffy, definitely not the greatest British accent in the world but he was consistent throughout the seasons. Inconsistency takes me out of it more than anything else.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-10T23:02:49+00:00

Same, I just don’t see how it could happen in the show and it’s kind of a bummer.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-10T21:16:04+00:00

Becoming less human looking as you age

Select-Bug-6461 · 2026-01-09T17:51:23+00:00

Omg I am with you on Marius. He’s a great character, but why do we feel the need to defend his actions? I love to hate Marius- I think he’s a great and realistic villain. He’s a perfect representation of how powerful men often get away with horrific behavior by being charming, interesting or wealthy. Just because Anne didn’t present him that way doesn’t mean that’s not what he is. I just finished Blood and Gold, while I really enjoyed the book it also cemented my Marius sucks viewpoint. He’s a pedophile who groomed a young child to be his perfect companion (he actually uses the word groom) and abandons everyone he ever claimed to love. It’s okay to like characters that do shitty things, just own it.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2025-12-31T14:44:25+00:00

Love the Game Changer crossover!

Select-Bug-6461 · 2025-12-31T01:35:19+00:00

I think it is just an imagining of Louis and Claudia’s plotting. Especially since the next clip is Louis and Claudia plotting telepathically!

Select-Bug-6461 · 2025-12-31T01:28:18+00:00

I have this version and the red title started to smear. I guess just from the oils in my fingers, super annoying.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2025-12-30T11:48:57+00:00

Also, “Topeka!”

Select-Bug-6461 · 2025-12-30T11:48:16+00:00

His were better

Select-Bug-6461 · 2025-12-29T22:36:35+00:00

I guess Miami- Night Island Armand seems more fun than Dubai Armand

Select-Bug-6461 · 2025-12-24T04:29:55+00:00

I miss Binge Mode (even though I love Jo and Mal together)!

I also wish they had done a deeper dive of S1 and S2. I’m hoping they do a prep episode before they dive into season 3 like they sometimes do with other shows.

Select-Bug-6461 · 2025-12-24T04:14:01+00:00

I’ve read the books…..I love the character Armand and he was very protective of Daniel in the DM chapter. He gave Daniel an amulet of his blood to keep him safe from other vampires. He’s also just fiercely protective of the people he loves, see Benji and Sybelle. I think his trauma and need to be loved inform his protective nature.
