“But there came an end to my long centuries of Satan’s service. Clad in red velvet it came, the very covering my old Master had so loved. It came swaggering and camping through the lighted streets of Paris as though God had made it. But it was a vampire child, the same as I, son of the seventeen hundreds, as they reckoned the time to be then, a blazing, brash, bumbling, laughing and teasing blood drinker in the guise of a young man, come to stomp out whatever sacred fire yet burnt in the cleft scar tissue of my soul and scatter the ashes.
It was The Vampire Lestat. […] This Lestat, aged twenty in mortal years, an errant and penniless country aristocrat from the wild lands of Auvergne, […] who became a wild blond-haired celebrity of the boulevard gutter theatricals, a lover of men and women, a laughing happy-go-lucky blindly ambitious selfloving genius of sorts, this Lestat, this blue-eyed and infinitely confident Lestat.
This Lestat, […] went strutting about fashionable Paris, isolated and tormented by his supernatural endowments yet glorying in his new powers, dancing at the Tuileries with the most magnificently clad women, reveling in the joys of the ballet and the high court theater and roaming not only in the Places of Light, as we called them, but meandering mournfully in Notre Dame de Paris itself, right before the High Altar, without the lightning of God striking him where he stood.
He destroyed us. He destroyed me.”

Hi! I’ve been wondering what Armand thinks about the legion of Lestat-esque corpses in Magnus’ tower? He must have found them at some stage, at least when living there himself. But the way Armand tracked goings on, presumably he was already aware of all the almost-Lestats before Lestat was made a vampire? Did Armand ever talk about it anywhere? Do you think the tv show might address Armand’s thoughts on Magnus’ choice of Lestat specifically & of his doings with the mountain of dead Lestat-a-likes beforehand?
I think this show probably won't miss out on that little detail, no. :)
I mean... they like to put their fingers into wounds, and that is one.
Because I agree (and I have mentioned that in "Monstrous are what monsters be"), but Armand knew of Magnus. Magnus, under the protection of Rhoshamandes. Magnus, just outside Paris. Of course Armand knew what was going on.
But that part is never addressed irrc, by neither Lestat nor Armand. (And imho they should have addressed that). Nor Magnus.
I don't think it will be part of s2, but I think there is a high chance that Armand at the theater... is actually part of his keeping track of things. Keeping track of Magnus, too. (I mean, even Allessandra notes how she went out to Magnus to visit him, and walk with him, and talk to him. Allessandra maybe knew of it all before Magnus started it, which means Armand maybe knew it before as well.)
So maybe Armand will omit that in his retellings in s2, but if they will go there then it will be Lestat who worries that wound in s3 I bet.
Also, I have a feeling they will go full horror for that part - and the other vampires knowing... is part of the horror.
