CLAUDIA And Claudia, for reasons she would not yet divulge, used our advantage sparingly. But make no mistake, Claudia was plotting, quiet in her deer blind. Lestat de Lioncourt. 179 years in the Savage Garden. 148 years the blood-drinker, the bringer of death… the deer come up the trail.

god Delainey just absolutely rules as Claudia huh?? This isn’t a comparison of performances or anything, I just love the energy she brings to the character and I LOVE the narrative focus they put on her. They’ve created such a fascinating version of Claudia that is unique to the show and so easy to connect with. You feel like you’re watching a tragedy unfold, each moment of joy and despair reminding you of what is yet to come. There’s a lot to analyze about book Claudia but you always got the sense her death was inevitable. There was no winning for her, even in a best case scenario. She would never be free from the curse that Louis and Lestat brought upon her. Life was never an option truly given to her, it was simply taken away time and time again. That was her tragedy.

but tv show Claudia? She’s a monster, a soldier, an infant, an adult, a woman, a beast, a killer, a dreamer, the loneliest girl on planet Earth. There’s a world where she can be happy, one where she can thrive amongst others like herself and forget the hell she’s dragged herself through. But she will never see it. She is doomed by the narrative and the men who see fit to control her.

I know recasting Claudia wasn’t the plan but it works perfectly in a story about unreliable narration. How much of season 1 Claudia was a lie, either direct or one of omission? How much of that was a Claudia that she herself could recognize? How much has Louis truly forgotten?

THE THING LAY STILL (1.07) So much would be written about that grim night in New Orleans, but not a single mention of our last hour at Latrobe's, as if the only crime unfit to print took place on that dance floor. It was my sole duty to distract Lestat, but in his mirrored eyes, the distraction reflected back onto me. And in the dead center of the whispering gallery, I lost the thread to my plotting and fell once more into the well with no bottom. I was his, and he was mine.
