It’s been a month since the absurdity of Your Biggest Fan was peeled back to show the reality of Magnus’ assault and I am still thinking about it. I’m not sure I’ve EVER seen a character embodied more than what Sam Reid has done this season.

Every problem with other attempts at adapting a fan-favorite property comes down to compromise out of fear. The inevitable “We can’t do X because Y.” Fans won’t like it or the audience won’t get it. It’s why the MCU (and every comic adaptation, frankly) became rote and tired almost immediately.

Six episodes into The Vampire Lestat and Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson are doing work that ought to be nominated for Emmys, Golden Globes, something, anything. The two seasons of Interview With The Vampire were fun, campy as hell, but this is something altogether better and still fun, campy as hell.

gnossienne no.5 playing during this scene is so important to me. it's the first physical connection stede makes with ed since being separated from him, he's seeing ed's pain and grief and he's not judging. just lovingly (& slightly exasperatingly) cleaning up after his boyfriend <3
