The church scene: Interview With the Vampire’s first episode was an incredible introduction into the world of the Vampire Chronicles and the story that was about to unfold. The final scene, from the moment that Louis (Jacob Anderson) stumbles into the church, screaming out his confession, to the tableau as Louis and Lestat (Sam Reid) lie on the ground, bloody and exhausted, had us breathless.
“Ticket, please:” In the sixth episode, Reid pulls out all the stops, being as campy as possible as he prances into the train car where his daughter Claudia (Bailey Bass) is hiding, and says in the worst Brooklyn accent imaginable, “Ticket, please!” while using the head of a decapitated conductor as a puppet. Incredible delivery, incredible performance, Sam Reid out here as Lestat in his tight light fits giving the most theater-kid performance of his life.
The Armand reveal: We knew that something big was going to happen, and many in the fandom were suspicious of Rashid (Assad Zaman). When Rashid revealed his true identity as Armand and Louis called him “the love of my life,” we had to pause and lie down and then immediately rewatch the entire season because the last five minutes of Interview With the Vampire changed everything. A fantastic end to a fantastic first season, and one that will stay with us for a long time.
