"This story is told through Louis’ eyes, but by reading Claudia’s diaries. However, as the narrative inches closer to her death, the blank spots get larger. Louis begins to rely on Armand, his paramour of 70 years, to fill in the gaps. In Interview With The Vampire Season 2, Louis is transformed. He is fierce and unrepentant of how he wants to live his life. While Lestat pulled the air out of the room around him, here, in Paris, Louis is stubborn. He is artistic. He is forming a life and a love affair on his own terms—effectively cutting away one connection and forming a new one."
"But Louis doesn’t do this without Lestat’s ghost aching in his mind. The series smartly inserts Lestat into Louis’s story at his most vulnerable, romantic, and thoughtful moments. When he consoles Claudia and assures her that he will always be there for her, Lestat is sitting in front of him. As he opens up and advances his relationship with Armand, Lestat is right there whispering in his ear, taunting him. Lestat is ever present in Season 2, but he is never overused. Instead, he lives in Louis’ peripheral as the nagging trauma response to the world around him and the man, who, despite his violence, is someone Louis loved."
"A mutual trust, a shared secret, but Armand’s control of the interview begins to erupt in the back half of the episode. Is he manipulative for personal gain? Is he manipulating his lover for his own good? The way that Armand plays the middle, always fierce but never stoic in his approach to Daniel or Louis, the depth of the interview itself is ambitious."
"While the past is important, it’s not just about Paris, but also Louis’ life in 1973 and the first interview that Daniel was offered. More importantly, Daniel becomes more than just an unbiased journalist writing a story of the century. Instead, he becomes an active participant in it. Furious with the Armand bats him around and uncertain about the validity of Louis’ truth. “Then what?” The question that aches through the series remains, and Armand tells us."
"If last season showcased the curse of vampirism, Interview With The Vampire Season 2 captures the bliss of it all. The compassion in the dark gift and the unbreakable tether it creates between those who share blood. There are moments of reverence and love. In fact, the series establishes that regardless of the ancient age or not, the tethers that form can be unbreakable. While the costumes, set designs, effects, and acting are the best that television offers, the story makes everything perfect. Yes, perfect."

Animaniacs reboot season 3 spoilers:
There’s already an article on season 3? Nice.
Nora hires the Warners to cause chaos. Nice.
That might be the first episode where she throws them in the tower. Not nice.
The person says it has more satire and not as good jokes as season 1. But they also mentioned season 1 things they like and I’m like…I didn’t like those. So maybe I’ll like season. 3. Lol
Another one has this
Interesting.

Maybe it was a cultural thing. Perhaps it was a traditional thing. Possibly a ceremonial rite. All I know is that a man was hitting a bush with a long stick. Heck he could even be a fan of the old school wrestling tag team The Bush Whackers... 😆 #whatsevenhappening #idontunderstand #butwhy #butwhytho #whatsevengoingon #wtf #wellthatsathing #thatshappening #wellthathappened #soanyway #publicweirdness #bushwhacker #thebushwhackers https://www.instagram.com/p/CDESYi-hnw8/?igshid=14efoypya0wab
