Interview with the Vampire Season 2

[kingstoken]

I just finished IWTV season 2, and god damn it's good! I will say if you've been considering watching it at all please give it a chance. I usually don't like vampire stories, but there is something so damn compelling about this one. It's urban fantasy, but at its core its about unhealthy and toxic relationships, but also weirdly about love and friendship. I think the changes they've made from the books are very interesting. Also, they take what is a minor character from the movie and books (to my understanding) Daniel and give him so much more depth. He is my favourite character.

I've seen some discussion online that says they thought it was a little rushed at the end and maybe it was, but I assume we're going to come back to some of what happened in the intervening time next season.

I am disappointed that we didn't get to see how Daniel got turned, I'm really hoping they come back to that next season, because I need to know! It looks like a lot of fan theories got jossed, so it will very interesting to see how or if they incorporate any of the Devil's Minion story. Obviously Armand changing Daniel because he was dying is out the window, unless that was part of something we didn't see.

Also, I've being seeing all these comments on twitter/tumblr calling Daniel nepobaby vampire or nepovampire, because he clearly already has abilities beyond other vamps like the ability to change his eyes and the ability to find Louis' thoughts through all the noise and over long distances, and i find them hilarious.

I think I enjoyed season 2 more than season 1, not to say that season 1 isn't great, it was, but season 2 worked for me. **chef's kiss**

Yeah I'm hoping they pull more from the later books because (as much as I would love it) I highly doubt they're going to keep the show going for 8 seasons or whatever. So hopefully they include the endgame Louis/Lestat stuff and Armand/Daniel stuff sooner rather than later... I love Lestat so I don't mind the next season focusing on him haha but they better keep the threads from the last season going!!
