The Vampire Lestat - Episode 5 - *New York

*SPOILERS*

I can't believe we got Akasha in this episode! I didn't think we would see her until the end of episode six, or in episode seven.

Okay, favourite parts of this episode were Lestat's song for Claudia (obviously) and the entire Marius, Lestat, Akasha flashback. I thought they did this so well and it captured all of the important aspects of this part of the story in the book. Sheila Atim was incredible. They definitely picked the right actor.

Shoutout to seeing Lestat in all the beautifully bespoke period clothing!
​
Love the band so much but I'm sad it looks like we won't be seeing Christine (I was just starting to like her alot), Fareed, Dee, or Larry (sob) anymore. Armand is BACK.

Can't wait to see how Alex, Salamander and especially TC take to vampirism. I'm excited. I hope they thrive.

When is Lestat going to give Gabriella the boot?

Akasha was saying all sorts of things but I distinctly recall her saying "I am the girl" several times. My theory is still that Regina is either Akasha channeling Claudia's ghost, or is actually Akasha manifesting as Claudia through Lestat's and Louis' memories.

So excited to find out what happens next!!!
