I mean, it's not "a young girl describing one of her parents abusing the other." It's a manipulative killer manipulating her favorite killer into killing the other. This infantalizing of Claudia, and the pretending that she is an innocent victim... is loltastic.

I agree. I really understand Claudia's insanity though. Forever stuck at the age when creeps are the most prevalent in a girl's life. I shudder at the thought. Her creeps and little boys speech absolutely broke me.

But it's just as maddening that some people in the fandom can't seem to see past her child's body.

She's always seen as an innocent little girl.

Like newsflash she's the most other of all of them. A vicious killer, who learns to use her body to lure and manipulate.

Why did she say "worthy of your love" out loud when she could have said it telepathically? To start a fight.

They're having a Vicious Gay-Off.

Men Endeavour Morse definitely slept with and other related matters...

(This is a selection of headcanons, obviously YMMV. :D )

Definitely slept with:

Tony Donn, when they were at Oxford together, probably a lot

Ludo Talenti

Jack Swift

Probably slept with:

Jerome Hogg, when they were at Oxford together

Peter Jakes, either prior to "Arcadia" or in s9

Would definitely have slept with if bad things hadn't happened to the man in question first:

Joss Bixby, and how

Nick Wilding

Would probably have slept with very frequently if the other man weren't in a monogamous marriage for the duration of their friendship:

Robbie Lewis

Didn't sleep with but probably should have done:

Jim Strange (it would have done a lot for both of them I think)

Didn't sleep with but I suspect the other man would have liked to:

George Fancy

Should not merely have slept with but got married to:

Max DeBryn (we know this to be true)

Not platonic or romantic or sexual but a secret fourth thing that was far more intense than everything else in this post, bloody hell:

Fred Thursday

What was Louis doing to Lestat off screen during that fight? He was the one who brought the fight up stairs.

As Claudia is climbing up after them Lestat cries out "Cheri, let's stop this! You don't want to fight like this anymore." And finally "I am trying to restrain myself!" Louis gives no verbal response to him during any of this and only talks to Claudia.

What was going on in that room!?

On my first watch I actually thought it was going to be Louis that |redacted|!
