We will talk a bit more about the sort of Baudelaire poem that, you know, is part of the second song there.

Yeah.

Something that I saw a really brilliant online fandom assessment of this show's version of Lestat, because the lyrics here, I was afraid of losing you and then I lost you, which is the lyrics that Tough Cookie was making fun of earlier in the episode, too.

Right, right, right.

I lost you.

Like, all that sort of stuff.

But I saw a really brilliant fan assess this as, like, that Lestat will time and again do things that contradict his personal moral code, which is, like, turn Claudia, perhaps attack the Leon Corfan family.

Yeah.

Perhaps have sex with his mom when he, like, doesn't really feel like it's the right thing to do, even if he is someone to attract to her or whatever.

In his desperate attempt to make people he loves stay, he will do these things that he believes are incredibly wrong.

And then they leave anyway.

And that's just the story of Lestat.

There's also one shot where Jennifer Elia's Gabriela is plugging her ears while Lestat is singing in the crowd.

It's incredibly funny to me.

Oh, God.

When Daniel and Louis are having their telepathic conversation.

And in contrast to season one, when Louis says, you're looking old, Daniel, he says, you're looking younger, Daniel, right?

And Daniel says, monocytes and manjaro.

Do you think monocytes and manjaro is a lost Jane Austen novel?

And if not, should we write it?
