#by likening the visual to that of capturing runaway slaves

[ikpwecanfly]

I can't stop thinking about the train scene. None of it makes any sense. It tries to portray Lestat at first as this control freak who can't let things go and he is in some cases but not this one. When Claudia first left his reaction was 'eh she's entitled to her own decisions. Stop chasing after her, Louis, let's have empty-nesters sex' He never particularly enjoyed her company and he did so less after she got the ability to set boundaries in the house

THEN we learn that much like the timing of Louis's turning, Lestat stops Claudia because he knew Louis was planning to kill himself. Which begs the question, mind, WHY DIDN'T HE TELL HER THAT????

No like fr why didn't he tell Claudia 'hey you gotta get back until we find a way for your father not to want to walk into the sun'

It would've made them bond over protecting Louis. It would've made Claudia feel trapped by Louis not Lestat and soured their relationship. For all intents and purposes this would've better aligned with what we know his goals and motives are. Why tf did he threaten to kill her instead??

Like do y'all know something I don't? Am I missing something?
