Many things happened in the worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, movies, TV and books over the past week. We can't cover all of them, but we can cover some of them, including these ones:

Interview With The Vampire is back, and the second season is just as good as the first, thanks in part to the snark of Daniel Malloy:
I knew going into Interview With The Vampire that I would enjoy the stories about brooding vampires Louis and Lestat. I didn't expect to love Eric Bogosian's sarcastic interviewer so much: https://t.co/N1MHaf94k5 https://t.co/N1MHaf94k5

The closer we get to the premiere of House of the Dragon season 2, the more it seems like they're messing with the source material in some pretty major ways:
There's stretching the source material to adapt it for TV, and then there's bending it so far it breaks. The show could prove me wrong, but I think this breaks it: https://t.co/vceoeTe9ao https://t.co/vceoeTe9ao
