That guy was lying through his teeth. Terrible man and totally unfamiliar with the facts of the case.

I've always wanted to see this movie and I haven't been able to find it! I'm so mad I didn't know it was going to be on TCM, I would have DVR'd it.

I had mixed feelings on the show overall. I think there were far too much of the Gotham cops in this. It seemed like what they wanted to do was split Gordon's role into three different people- Gordon, Barbara, and Renee Montoya, but that means all these people get a lot of screentime and I thought all of them were very dull. It sort of made Batman feel like a supporting character on his own series. I liked the last three episodes with the ramp-up of the Harvey/Two-Face story, but then I realized they were just going to kill him, which ends the whole thing and any investment you had in it. But overall I thought it was well done and it kinda made me think the show should be more serialized instead of the old style villain of the week thing. I think Catwoman should have been a recurring character- not just a one off. For me she was the only woman on the show who really popped onscreen, she was fun and you want to see more of her and the dynamic with her and Batman. The villains were okay, I didn't love any of the reinterpretations of them, including Harley.

I didn't like Maya's Kamala before. She just didn't resemble or capture her at all imo.

OMG- I cannot WAIT for Season 3!!!

I think it can win.

So I guess Jon does not care at all about the many sexual assault and harassment settlements against Bill O'Reilly. Because I know he knows. And this means he clearly doesn't care. Horrible.

It's corporate media revealing itself. That's all it is. They're not even airing the show tonight? Absurd

Ridiculous. No need to change anything.

That's a really good point. I kind wish there would be some flashbacks to that time from Lestat's point of view just to see how it is that he saw their relationship. I know in the books he really was devastated and haunted by her death, which they showed here. But also during their trio years (which was much longer in the book- like 65 years), he was shown as taking her under his wing just as much as Louis, in terms of them being the two dads, and how they had much more in common with each other, their violent nature, etc. That would be interesting to have seen more of.

They definitely dragged the theater stuff out to fill the whole season with it. I never liked that stuff in the book either but I enjoyed it on the show for the most part. But when you think about how many years spanned in the first season (30) compared to this season (5), you can see it was dragged out. I mean, all the Paris stuff only took place from 1940-45.

So great! I loved it. Loved the reunion between Lestat and Louis. I love that the show is highly gothic and dramatic and yet still has a sense of humor about itself. I laughed out loud when Lestat said "Siri, pause."

We still don't exactly know how Daniel wound up turned. I'm sure we could get a flashback where it's similar to to how it happened in the books. Because when we see him this is some time later, isn't it? I'm so excited about the next season! So rock star Lestat is going to be in the present day, which is awesome. I can't wait to see who they cast for Gabrielle, Marius and Akasha- they've done a really good job casting all the vamps so far. Ben Daniels was so great as Santiago and I barely even remember him from the book. Even though Akasha's obsession with Lestat isn't entirely consensual he is pretty entranced by her, so I can't wait to see how they do that. Although, that's more Queen of the Damned I guess. It's interesting that they had Lestat mention that he already has Akasha's blood in him. He didn't at the end of the first book did he? I thought it's revealed in The Vampire Lestat that he had seen Akasha and Enkil when Marius showed him them but he doesn't bite her until later on when she kidnaps him after his concert. Maybe they'll have it so she wakes up briefly when he first sees them in this one.

Yay! The show's renewed for Season 3! And it's going to be about Lestat starting a band and going on tour, woo-hoo! Promises to include Gabrielle, Marius, etc. So, The Vampire Lestat, here we come! My only question is when is all this taking place? In the past or the present?

Oh wow, I don't remember that part.
