I totally forgot that claudia dies like this even in the movie lol so I was in shock yeah ☠️ Full Reactions are on Patreon.com/Madvision ⭐️ (Episodes Included)

Even though I knew it was coming Claudia's death STILL hit me hard. Ugh, my heart was broken! Especially the way that she turned to Lestat in her final moments. I do love the way that they were unable to break her spirit tho. Girlie said "I know ALL your faces!"

Claudia sang that song to spite the audience. That same audience loved her play and that song, and now they are screaming for her death and cheering it on. She is pointing out how the audience members are hypocrites.

What an incredible episode. Madeline chose Claudia and put her first, even in death. Lestat gave me everything I needed from him this episode. Knowing that Claudia and Madeline were going to die didn't lessen the impact in any way. Also, Ben Daniels as Santiago has been fantastic. One episode left!

Lestat read that soldier for FILTH. Best scene in the episode ✊🏾

It is a show about monsters, no one is innocent. Here, you just pick your favorite monster.

Vampires' perception of time and movement to the normal world around them is considerably different. They move at breakneck speed, appearing almost like they've merely teleported to the human eye. Look at Season 1 Episode 1 it'll give you some idea 💡 of what I'm talking about.

This rendition of Claudia, as well as her death, made have much more empathy for her than I ever did in the books/movie. Just so well done. ❤

Lestat was hot this episode. Hot and heartbreaking, we all know he didn't want to be there

I don’t think lestats truth is 100% or Louis’. The truth is somewhere in the middle. They were doing everything to make Louis look the worst. I think lestat did tell him that Claudia would suffer as a child vampire but he defo didn’t mention laws to him out of the blue in my opinion. He doesn’t care about laws. I’m also not sure about louis dragging her across the floor. And the fight Louis fought back yes but he was fighting after lestat choked Claudia. And he may have said those things but may not have been as manic or deranged as lestat would remember him as the most cruel possible. It didn’t matter what louis said lestat did that as he didn’t want louis to abandon him.Either way lestat dragged him across the floor by his throat, sucked his blood then flew him and up dropped him. Doesn’t justify it. Loved this ep even if my heart broke.

16:12 Santiago wants a good show, that's all. He wants the audience to love him, and the audience wants violence.

Lets remember that when Louis saved Claudia from the fire he was going through a downward spiral, he killed an important person in town which started riots and burning of black neighbourhoods. Louis felt extremely quilty. He wanted to save someone. He wasn't mentally stable at the time which this new scene hammers home even more. Great episode! Absolutely heart breaking!

I knew Claudia and Madeleine were going to die but it was still so shocking and disturbing.

I cried and choked when Claudia died. I can't wait for your 2x8 reaction and the realizations. 😭

They are all monsters. Lestat wasn't trying to please anyone saying what he said to Louis. It's a drop in the ocean for all the things he's done and will continue to do. There is no morality with monsters, just a set of rules that are made to be followed or used for one's own gain/benefit. Louis choosing NOT to kill us (humans) was laughed at b/c it's not in the rules. This show is about the little things they do that are good and the beauty in the worst of creatures. Claudia's death was b/c she was the embodiment of rule breaks.

Sam reid is amazing in this episode it was interesting hearing lestat side

I appreciate how deeply Claudia and Madeline’s death effected you 🥺 it was tragic 😭

God, this episode wrecked me. I still can't watch their death scene without crying. Everyone is complicit in her death, Louis included. During my first watch, I was terrified that Madeleine was going to choose the coven over her because Madeleine had told Armand in the previous episode that she's a survivor and Claudia also wanted her to. I was so relieved when Madeleine chose Claudia. Claudia deserved that.

after all the vile shit, he said to Armand in episode 6, it sounds exactly like something Louis would say

I swear every episode of this left me fucked up for at least a week-- i'm still recovering. I feel like this was the gnarliest, ugliest episode of divorce court and a horrible, horrible lynching all wrapped up in one. The horror of it is just unparalleled and it FEELS real bc of how, above all, human they are. People say they are monsters, but really i think their most flawed traits that make them horrifying are also what makes them human. Like Lestat's fear of abandonment, Louis' vindictiveness coming out when he's feeling cornered, Claudia's fascination with death to the point she kept kill list (Rest in Power to the best vampire the world has ever seen), Armand's control freak tendencies and manipulations, and also everyone's myriad mental health issues. Like they're all a demonstration of what would happen to us if time didn't ease pain or death didn't come for us sooner. What Armand said in ep 3-- "100 years, yesterday? What is time to a vampire?"" There's no real closure that can happen if you're a vampire, and you can't move on from shit that people did to you bc while humans can say, "Oh, i need to make up with this person, life is short" vampires are fully aware that other vampire is gonna stay alive and still be on their bullshit a hundred years, even a thousand years later. The only thing that keeps them united together is their agonizing fear of being alone. (sounds like most marriages lol) I liked your viewpoint, which I feel like a lot of people overlook when it comes to Louis, that Louis can't really control his emotions when he's feeling extremely vulnerable-- he kind of blacks out and exhibits behavior that makes it very clear that he's mentally ill and in constant suffering. Like, something in him just breaks, and he falls apart. So much of his life, dissociating so hard without really trying bc life has always been so painful for him-- too painful to be fully present and assertive as his full self all the time. I think he really loved and wanted to protect his brother Paul bc of this understanding and personal experience with mental illness, and it's why Paul loved and trusted him enough to go to him and share a bed with him, crying when he was upset. I relate to Louis' dissociative episodes bc times in my life that i've been pushed into being very angry or I'm just very sad and triggered, I legitimately don't remember what I say or do and I am apparently very uncharacteristic and unsettling to witness-- like people can see it in my face that i'm not all there and i might have an actual breakdown. (never violent or anything, just vicious yelling, crying, or kind of insane laughing) I LOVE this version of Louis, though-- I call him Crazy-Girl Louis. It's scary sometimes, but mostly i'm like LET IT OUT, babe, tell them how you feel!! It's like watching him in therapy. I wish he could get ACTUAL therapy that would work bc he needs it. 😭 Lestat was so cunty with it when he walked out on the stage, I was like, Daddy CHILL. 😂 But the way he was lying about how they met (even though i know it was probably what he had to say for the script he didn't want to read, whatever, I'm still mad) painting Louis as this super aggressive, dominant person (all these not-so-coincidentally Black Male stereotypes used to fearmonger and justify racialized violence) when those traits are 100% Lestat's, and always have been-- and the way the audience ate that shit up bc they wanted to see Louis as a villain, made me SICK. Even when Lestat was like, "no there's nothing worse than what I've done to this man," they still wanted Louis dead and only had sympathy for Lestat. And then the rats box-- the first time I saw that rat box, I was like, "aw, hell naw, i know this is going to be used for even more evil, and I don't want to see it." And I was right. That instantly made me wish for the death of everyone in that fucking coven. I can't believe they did that our baby. 😢 And the rocks box!!!!! What is it with them and evil boxes!?!!? Anyway, adoring your reactions. Can't wait for ur finale reaction. 💜

I just wish witches was in the show to save her 😢this scene broke me

Claudia . . She was Her Father . . .

It’s a tough episode. We don’t know Lestat’s take. We only have seen other’s views of him.

The reason louie was beginning lestat to save her because she ask him was he an angel remind you they are vampires who can’t have kids and are dead and Louie on the other hand want a daughter and a kid to raise since he can’t have one so why not change her to be a vampire and raise her with lestat but lestat been around a long time think or him a old vampire who been around the earth and leans a lot from the world that’s why he didn’t want to change Claudia cause she will be trapped in a body of a child while the world thinks shes a child but a vampire lol

Claudia's death was less horrifying and more merciful than the one she tried to give Lestat. She wasn't poisoned. Her throat wasn't cut. She wasn't tossed in the dump like trash. Plus, if she'd gotten her way, Lestat would've been incinerated alive. Oh, and Lestat didn't manipulate her companion into betraying and murdering her. All in all, I'd say Claudia got off pretty easy.
