It may be part of his training. I was taught to always say ME and I about the characters you portray

Wasn't she working with production before she passed? Why aren't they supporting it?

​​​​@@wildflouwirNo, neither she nor Christopher (her son) worked on this show. They would never support anything that wasn't a faithful adaptation of the source material. Anne was very pernickety when it came to her work, and she wanted a show that followed the books down to the last detail. Long story short, she wanted to start with The Vampire Lestat because that is really the beginning of The Vampire Chronicles, as he is the protagonist of the series. I think the show is trying to make both Louis and Lestat co-leads, and that is something Anne wouldn't have agreed to. Lestat is the lead, and Louis is somewhat of a background character-important, but background nonetheless. Her son Christopher had penned a pilot script, but AMC rejected it once they'd gained the rights to the property. Hence why they withdrew all support after that. This show is vastly different from Anne's original vision. They are executive producers in name only but have nothing to do with the show itself. The showrunner actually said that Anne would be unhappy with a lot of the choices he has made.

Ahh ok thank you! That sucks- at the very least I wish they could've agreed to a spinoff, duel plot or something to appease both parties.

@@wildflouwir They could've just made a show inspired by The Vampire Chronicles and saved themselves a ton of money in the process. That way Anne's son could've kept shopping around and eventually come together with someone who wanted to make a show that was true to the books. That's not to say this show is bad, it's just like an alternate universe version of the chronicles.

Starting with wolfkiller would've never worked. It gives away the whole story, and then justifying having the interview happen would be very difficult. I get why they wanted to do that after Lestat became protag, but it's actually more faithful to start with Louis. And I think it makes more sense to keep him around. Anne ended up backtracking and retconning a lot (that does not mean the books are bad!) Regardless, sometimes you have to look past an author and do your own thing. I don't care if she'd approve, cause the show is excellent.

Absolutely agree!

It's because Bailey's not in S2 and they're promoting S2 with Delainey. They had S1 to promote Bailey. When you've got a new actor, repeatedly referencing the old actor makes it more difficult for the audience to accept the new one. There's just no need.

It doesn't mean that they don't appreciate Bailey. It's just she is not in new season I believe

In Season 1, Sam was in most every scene. In Season 2 (so far) he's in comparatively few. He and Jacob were spending tons of time together on and off screen, and that's obviously been greatly reduced. I think the chemistry is just more low-key.

I guess it's because not much happening with his character this season

After episode 5 how can you still say that? I’m am entranced by Assad’s performance

@@liabe18 I know! I guess I'm still waiting for that big wow factor. I think it will come soon.

I genuinely think he's been the highlight of season 2 so far, he's mesmerized me, he's captivated me body and soul

​​@@Fisklingursame with me. There's no bad actors on the show. But honestly this season Assad kept my whole attention.

Its to ensure we as the audience understand things from Loui's point of view.
