#tvlspoilers making the episode longer and giving 60-70% of it to flashbacks with an actual scene of lestat and gabriella killing their family instead of montage would've made everything so much better

you could use screentime to adapt teen lestat escaping his home to act with a theater troupe but being dragged back home... and instead u insert a club scene where u got strippers shooting ping-pong balls out of their vagina
#tvlspoilers you know i actually wonder if they cut way more out of this scene because i just don't believe that jacob exaggerated when he said smth about this scene left him shooketh
#iwtvspoilers#tvlspoilers this shot from the nycc teaser. this take wasn't used in the final cut, but from an in-universe pov i'd like to think louis did touch lemuel's arm gently during the actual meeting but lestat refused to mention it on his recordings out of jealousy

#tvlspoilers lestat looking like this at gabriella while trying to set his boundaries is also very telling of how much he is scared of losing her. he knows that if he tries being harsher about the boundaries, she may dislike it and leave so he tries to play it light
#tvlspoilers enjoyed the actor who played lestat's dad. you can actually SEE what lestat meant when he said he was cursed with his father's temper because his angry outbursts reminded me of lestat's so much
