horrors and atrocities await you know Daniel coming in um along with Sam from the theater troupe incredible stuff yeah to help in the the fang gang hallway fight one of the examples and I love the way the stat was like you know Daniel he really he saved me and that was great but like if he hadn't maybe all of these other people would have been okay was that good for human
Oh boy, you know, that's not great.
And there are other notes earlier as well.
So it kind of, I think, heightens and enhances that, even just the auction, this estate to give away.
What's going on with our guy Lestat if this stuff is being sold at auction for these price points, etc.
and what has happened that he is clearly like a key driver of.
So that is very interesting.
But I think because we talked about this a little bit in season two, and this is delving even deeper into like this kind of like core impulse and how the text is structured.
The question of like,
Who is a reliable narrator?
Who is the author and arbiter of history?
Can you trust another person's account of your experience in your life?
But also, like, can you trust your own account?
Because your own memory is deeply flawed and that is just inherent.
And the longer you're alive, presumably the harder it becomes to...
hold on to any strand of your experience.
So the fact that this, for Lestat, it's like fractured and messy and there's exciting pops of color and then he'll say like, this is sort of the fun that I like to sing about in my song, Long Face.
And you're like, wait, but part of the reason to write the song is to like, there's a therapeutic cathartic act of creation and connection.
To me, I think it feels like more likely to be the latter because that's part of, I think what the, like the thesis of the show and how it's adapting this is like interested.
