In today’s episode Joann and Kristina welcome IWTV fan and Jacob Anderson fan page curator Nado (@astronaut_Nado) who is here to help us dissect the events of season 2's penultimate episode: I Could Not Prevent It.
This is a harrowing episode, one that we've been waiting for from the beginning, and one that has left so many fans heartbroken but in awe of the performances of each of the actors in this remarkable ensemble. Nado's contributions to this conversation were absolutely wonderful and we are so grateful that he agreed to join. We promise you'll want more of his thoughts and we are definitely going to be welcoming him back for a deep dive.
Below are some ways to engage with us and a bit more about Nado.
@kristinagenx, @vampire_insider, and please email us @ vampireinsider@gmail.com
Nado has loved vampire stories ever since he was a little kid. His introduction to the genre was the first Blade film and his interest has only grown since then. His mom was a fan of Anne Rice’s books and he’d seen bits of the 94 film as well as Queen of the Damned, which, for a long time, was his only reference point for the story.
Although he’d seen rumblings of the IWTV television adaptation prior to the season one release, it wasn’t until he saw that Jacob Anderson was going to be part of the show that he became excited about it. Vampire stories told from a black or POC perspective are rare, so seeing him play the titular character piqued Nado’s interest. After season 1 episode 3, Nado started reading the books and he has been invested ever since. He is eager to see how the show will adapt the other books into the show’s storyline.
