@hennyondatok: It seems AMC+ has completely written out Merrick Mayfair after a bumbling misfire of two shared universe shows with Mayfair Witches & Talamasca: The Secret Order. However, Louis de Pont du Lac’s path to advanced vampire abilities like the cloud and fire gifts acquired by the Ancient Ones has been seemingly tidied up without witch involvement. I’m pretty invested in The Vampire Lestat and I’m hoping they can stick the landing and do Anne Rice justice as her Vampire Chronicles have proven to be difficult to adapt for tv and movie screens alike.
I mean Louis had the fire gift since the late 40’s

Do you think they’d every create a season surrounding merrick’s story?? I’ve realized after reading the Mayfair Witches and IWTV, my favorite character in the end was Merrick Mayfair😁

louis been having the fire gift since paris but i think how he uses it has changed. despite the situation, he seems less angry with it? like he’s not using his hate to drive the fire gift, he’s using his own power and self confidence. a real zuko moment if that makes sense 😅

I think Louis reading the pages out loud was WARANTED. Ida done the same thing. I would have used mind tricks to make him feel the words like they were happening to him. I would have given him that “full feeling down there” ♈️

Dark Lord of All :
they've repeatedly mentioned the witches and Louis didn't get into what happened after Claudia in depth. Merrick could still be a thing and him trying to bring Claudia back could also still ne something they just haven't shared with Daniel/us

The homogenization of vampire powers really flattens the characters 💀

I don’t think it’s distasteful it was a cathartic moment. I love this season and not always does the stories from the book transition to a good scene on a tv show. I love the show and besides a book is only a part of the story there lives continue in our imagination.

Henny, I think you’re missing an interesting storytelling pov with this show. We have two major gifts. The dark gift and the gift of light. The gift of light is reincarnation. That is just as eternal as vampirism.

I don’t know when or how show-Louis developed the fire gift, but it’s not new. In Season 1, he used his gift to set fire to Daniel’s tapes of their original interview from the 70s after his « Grant me my Odyssée » discussion.
