I was thinking the latter, but then I saw Rolin saying that this season has only been HALF of Lestat's story so....I'm a bit confused about what the next season to come (God willing) will be?
...is absolutely perfect. 10/10. Literally, I couldn't imagine it being better. It's also very close to my headcanon Lestat as a long-time book reader (from way back, like the 90s lol). The only difference is I dont think Lestat has a French accent in my mind when I was reading the books, but that not even a criticism.
I liked this season, but did have some trouble with enjoying parts of it (you can look in my post history if you wanna know exactly). And I'm unclear if S4 is going to be TVL S2 or QOTD S1, but either way, given how the two seasons of IWTV worked so well, I'm going to reserve ultimate judgment of the show until the next part/season is released and until then I'll just say I overall mostly enjoyed it.
In another thread, u/Swimming_Barnacle_98 said this:
"While I do enjoy the show as a fun vampire show.. this doesn’t feel like The Vampire Lestat.
I also feel kinda bad for Sam because in interviews he talks about how he argued against some of the changes but then was convinced that they made sense for the adaptation, so while Sam wanted so badly to be book Lestat, he was redirected away from the source material."
Given how perfectly the actor seems to understand and captured Lestat, I'm very curious if anyone knows any more info about this? Like where they heard this and if any examples were given?
FWIW this isn't to bash the writers/directors/showrunners in ANY way, nor to cause drama. I'm just insanely curious about that comment. Thoughts? Info? Tomatoes? TIA!
And specifically....what the actual fuck happened here?
One reason I enjoyed IWTV (the show) so much was the flinty friendship between Daniel and Louis.
Why was Daniel so mad at Louis by the end? I guess I could buy that he was mad at Lestat for the interview "trick" of not being able to get the part about Nicky's insanity and death and Lestst's grief on tape. I mean, yeah it was a mean trick in a way (although I think Daniel was being particularly ghoulish, digging around for the good stuff in that interview, so maybe deserved it), but still....although not recorded, he still did get the honest story from Lestat. He could have produced it another way. But anyway, that's besides the main point....why was he pissed at Louis?
How much (if any) was Armand mind-fucking him?
Also while we're here, I'm really pissed that Armand killed Larry. I liked Larry a lot. And was he entirely mind-walking Alex, or did Alex have legit reason to hate Lestat, too?
I've been a Primo subscriber to Blocked and Reported for a few years now, but the time has come where I need to unsubscribe. However, I'm having some issues and was wondering if anyone else might be able to help me out or might know what I'm doing wrong.
When I go to the BARpod website, I can sign in and when I go to "subscription" and "change" subscription, it doesn't offer me an option to cancel, only to upgrade. Halp?
TIA! 🙏🏼
I've been looking for this documentary (on Netflix, Prime, Max, Apple Tv+) and can't seem to find it anywhere. Can anyone help me out with any info on where it might be streaming online?
It's about university professor Anna Stubblefield, who embarked on an inappropriate and highly controversial relationship with a man named Derrick Johnson, who is non-verbal and has cerebral palsy. The documentary also follows the criminal case that Johnson's family launched against Stubblefield, and also Stubblefield's use of the experimental and controversial communication technique of "facilitated communication".
Basically the title says it all. A friend had a run-in with a place like this and I'm trying to see if there's some kind of centralized place to report these practices/doctors so people can check them out beforehand. I've heard of the Doctor Patient Forum, but not sure if that's the best/only place.
Thanks in advance!
Hey From-friends? So I have a question: you know how new episodes are every Sunday on MGM+?
I was just wondering about what time does the new episode usually drop? Some time on Friday? Or Thurs. night? And what time zone, please?
(I'm asking because a show I used to watch that ended recently was Outlander, on Starz. New episodes were released every Friday on Starz, but when I asked last week about it, I was informed that they'd actually been released at 11 pm ET on ~*Thursday nights*~ and I never knew! At least not until that last episode lol.)
Anyway, if there's a similar deal going on with From, please, kind strangers....let us know here. Thanks in advance! :)
I saw online that it'll drop at 12 midnight ET. (On Friday the 15th, sorry- not the 16th.) So, if you're in Central time....does that mean 10 or 11 pm tonight? (Thursday, May 14)
Many thanks!
I'm so tired. I've been reading some other threads here and in the depression sub over the past few days and relate so well to so many of y'all, even though our circumstances are all so different. I'm in my mid-late 40s. I had a few bouts of bad depression when I was very much younger, in my teens, which led me to turn to drugs and eventual addiction. I've been clean/sober or "in recovery" for over 20 years with the assistance of a maintenance medication. All this time, I've had a lot of chronic, generalized anxiety along with severe panic attacks thrown in randomly for fun. Depression hasn't been an issue for me. Even when times are hard, and that's plenty of the time, I always seemed to be able to find some hope and at least semi-rise above it.
But over the past few months I've been enveloped by the deepest, darkest depression I've ever experienced. Just total despair. I find no pleasure or joy or interest or relief in anything anymore. And most of all, the weariness. The feeling of overwhelming exhaustion. It only even occurred to me a few days ago that that's probably what this is- depression. Naming or identifying it hasn't really helped.
I'm stuck in a not so great marriage and have several young kids. The kids existing and needing me is the only thing I live for. My husband isn't abusive, but we have some fundamental and irreconcilable differences. When we got married, we were younger and religious and thought we were doing what God wanted us to do. But the truth is we don't get along at all and haven't for years. We've stayed together for the same reason- the kids.
Almost of my family of origin are deceased, friends have long ago moved on. I can't work because of my younger kids, can't even get out to find the smallest crumb of independence, of distraction.
So, I've also had severe anxiety my entire life, and the absolute worst insomnia. These issues are what directly led to my initial addiction, actually. But lately, even though there's been no reprieve with the anxiety, I am finding that for literally the first time in my life, I can sleep.... sometimes even without effort. It's not quality sleep, but it's sleep. I can't get enough of it, tbh. The only time I feel any kind of hope or happiness even, or really any kind of positive anything is when I'm asleep. There's either the dreamless peace of unconsciousness, or sometimes I'll have these really awesome and hopeful dreams. And wake up just feeling gutted when I realize that I'm back in the real world, in my real life. And no matter how I sleep, I am so, so very tired. It's difficult to express in words how much. Down to my bones and beyond. I have a medical condition that causes intermittent-chronic pain, too. It's something that sucks but I've always been able to deal with. It's only become overwhelming over these past few months.
I know nothing is going to change, this day will just be like tomorrow, and it will go on and on. I've been living by that old AA adage, "just for today"....Just for today, just for the next hour, if I can make it through, \~\*then\*\~ maybe I'll let myself off the hook. Just make it through today. I do that with every day, every night, every afternoon and sometimes with every hour. (It's a neat trick, tbh, I recommend it if any of y'all haven't tried it before.) But yeah, even that isn't working anymore. What do you do when the despair is everything? It's nameless, formless, but all-consuming. Paralyzing. I just need some kind of a break. Something that'll maybe help shake this off of me. Because the thought of it being like this forever.... that's just intolerable.
Any replies, comments, commiseration, or anything at all is more than welcome. I'm trying to convince myself that this can't be a forever thing; that there has to be an end point.
This is my second attempt to post. I made a post a few days ago and it got no replies and hardly any views, so I'm assuming (hoping) something went wrong the first time.
