Subject: blood donation
Well, I gave blood today. I must admit, however, that the SOS-FK
campaign had nothing to do with this; I've been giving regularly
since I was old enough.
Those of you who gave for the first time because of this -- thanks,
congratulations, and you'll be eligible again end of March. It'd be
great if this campaign had some long-term good effects (in addition to
getting the show renewed, of course).

Subject: Re: Nick's kids
I still think Serena was pretty well-adjusted. A vampire should not
*have* to feel compelled to kill humans in order to still be a good
vampire. Especially since we've been shown that vampires *can*
"sip" without killing in the FK universe. Why shouldn't a vampire
who chooses *not* to kill humans just be considered as having a
different appetite (just as some humans are vegetarians). Some
vampires could consider humans as worth more than food. This doesn't
mean these vampires couldn't drink human blood. They just wouldn't
kill for it. And then you have vampires like Screed who *like*
animal blood. Are they less of a vampire for that difference?
Perhaps socially amongst their own kind they might be frowned upon,
but from what I have observed, a vampire like Screed who primarily
feeds on animals still seems to have the same vampire abilities as
those whose diets are primarily human.
And Serena didn't apparently cause any unexplained deaths in the
area. She appeared to have been quietly working in night construction
around many mortals without arousing much suspicion as to what she
actually was (in fact, I don't think she aroused *any* suspicions).
She certainly hadn't gone on any killing sprees like some of Nick's
other kids or opened herself to suspicion. She seemed a very
capable, intelligent woman who knew what she wanted--to be mortal
again. But she was functioning quite respectfully as a vampire in
the meantime, imo.

Subject: EM search and Broadcast & Cable magazine
I found Electronic Media at Barnes & Noble and Borders but they were only up
to the Jan 8th issue. The guy at Barnes said the weather was a major factor
in being behind and they probably wouldn't be caught up till early to mid
Feb. Is anybody else having this problem. I don't want to wait 2 weeks to
see our Ad. (of course, I should be happy that St. Louis even carries this
magazine).
I did peruse the issue on hand. It is large size like Variety. And about 80%
ads.
On a slightly hopeful not - at Borders I looked thru Broadcast and Cable
Magazine - Jan 15 issue. This mag is about 40 or 50 % ads and had some very
interesting articles including a few on NATPE. In listing shows that were
dropped or doubtful for next season, the article said FK would probably not
be carried because of USA's pullout of funding. I think this is hopeful
because it wasn't listed with the definitely dropped shows. Also, this issue
listed all the companies that would be at NATPE and the shows they were to
offer. Tri-Star was listed as Columbia Tri-STar and had 3 1st run shows and
several dozen reruns. The 1st run shows were Ricki Lake, Tempestt Bledsoe,
and *TA-DAH! Forever Knight.
That made my heart beat a little faster.
On a down note - in both magazines I didn't see 1 ad for *any* Tri-Star
shows. And the company logos were easy to pick out. And there were ads for
everything you could imagine and some I couldn't.

Subject: Re: Nick's kids
In response to AC Chapin's comments, Serena was determined to have
sex with Trilling in an attempt to get pregnant and be cured with *no*
doubtful feelings about it meaning Trilling's death. Seems to me that
if she would have avoided killing humans, she'd *angst* a bit about
the prospect that Trilling would die. She didn't. Personally, I
doubt if it's possible for a vampire to avoid killing humans altogether.
At least at some point (probably very early on) they will be drawn to
kill humans. That's not to say the vampire can't later choose not to
kill humans. But we've even seen Screed (an animal blood drinker by
preference) kill a human (or at least the implication that he did is
there).
I also disagree that Nick was "Offered vampirism explicitly." LC
(or *any* vampire on the show, for that matter) did not go into great
detail about what being a vampire would involve. So how could Nick
have made a truly informed decision about something only vaguely
explained? Janette got even less of an explanation than Nick when
she was brought over by LC, Alexandra was even *unconscious* at the
time. I'll agree that Nick made a mistake in judgment in bringing
over Serena, but her remarks could have reasonably been interpreted
by him as her wanting to be a vampire. As far as Nick's near death
experience, would you prefer a total unknown to a at least partially
known fate (Nick knew he would be given a longer life at least if he
followed LC)?
I liked Serena too, but I still don't think she was whiny and she
was certain not uncontrollable. She managed to learn to live with
what she had become, but still wanted to find a way back to mortality.
She wasn't destroyed by anyone.
As far as the blood in her fridge, I haven't watched that episode
for a while, but just because it doesn't say what kind of blood it
is, that doesn't mean there's not any chance it wasn't human blood.
We don't know if Nick was drinking whole human blood or Janette's
blood-wine mixture in Feeding the Beast. We weren't told so it
could have been either.

Oh, and you left out a stage in Serena's case, AC. You left out the
hot and heavy sex which she thought had led to her accomplishing her
aim of getting pregnant and that was *after* she had been bitten so
she had to have been a vampire. She may have been horrified to later
realize she had been made a vampire, but she sure looked like she
was enjoying the sex. ;)

I second Marg's comment about Chris Potter's jeans; it's a crying shame
that whoever designs his Levi's doesn't also make the ones for Ger and Ben
Bass. (Of course I'm assuming they'd wear them as well as Kung Fu's Peter
Caine!) Well, we still have several eps ahead of us, including the Janette
reunion---the odds of a Shirtless Ger are going up steadily as we speak. :)
Not that Mr. Wyn Davies isn't a fine actor, and not that I don't appreciate
him as a person and all that. Nope. I'm not shallow. Not at all.
NEW TOPIC ---
Of course, one *more* reason to get a fourth season---my list of Dream
Guest Stars has only been partially fulfilled now that Geordie Johnson has
done his stint. Adrian Paul, Chris Potter, Peter Wingfield, Elizabeth
Gracen... none of these actors have made guest appearances. Which is
something that has GOT to be remedied, people.

The only analogy I can make to this is comparing it to a human being. It's
not perfect, but it's all I have. IMHO, there is a rather wide canyon
between a human being who happens to be a vegetarian or vegan, and one who
wants to be something other than he or she is.
I don't object to a vampire feeding on anything else other than humans.
Rats, cows, pigs, whatever. It has no effect on his or her adjustment to
being a vampire.
However, a vampire whose central ambition is not to be a vampire is not
well-adjusted. Serena may be functional -- in the same way as a human who
desperately wants to be a pig can be functional by following all the outward
societal conventions -- but she is not well-adjusted.
As I said before, the only well-adjusted vampire is one who wants to be a
vampire, enjoys being a vampire, and doesn't want to be anything other than
a vampire. The type of food that that vampire chooses has nothing to do
with it.

Subject: thoughts re:cancellation
Okay, this has been bugging me ever since word came down. First, USA
scheduled FK for an additional prime time showing during the month of
January, which said to me either (a) the show is doing well and they wanted
to capitalize on that or (b) the show wasn't doing as well as they hoped
and they were trying to give it more exposure. None of this jibes with the
rather abrupt cancellation - but I think I've figured it out.
T&A! All that gratuitous T&A that annoyed us all so much in the first
several episodes of this season has been conspicuously absent - resulting
in, IMHO, some of the best episodes they've ever done, and the axe from
U(trash is our middle name)SA.
I think our heroes decided they'd rather go out with class than keep going
with trash. I admire them more than ever!
Still hoping we can turn this around - they deserve everything we're doing
for them.

Subject: Careful about blooper reel!
Ahm, guys, technically selling any tape including the blooper reel
is supposed to be illegal. May I suggest deleting the term "sell"
and merely asking to be contacted off list?
I don't know whether TriStar cares, but I do know that people have
been prosecuted for copying and *selling* tapes of certain series.
It is a violation of copyright and as such could get you in trouble
if the owner of the copyright chose to do so.
You're much safer just to pay for the cost of the tapes and the postage.
And to make arrangements off list.
Btw, I don't know who let out on list that the blooper reel is out
there, but again, be careful. Some shows object to this sort of thing
being in circulation. If there is one for the present season, we don't
want to find that nobody will leak it, and that may very well happen
if we start talking about bootleg copies *on list.*
Yes, I know I described the contents for the list, but I did so after
seeing it at a con where it was shown with permission.

Granted I haven't seen "Baby, Baby" yet, but comparing Serena's desire to
become human to a human's desire to become a pig doesn't sound like an
accurate analogy. Apparently, Serena wants to go *back* to what
she *once was*. A human who wants to be a pig isn't desiring to
return to a previous state. A pig can not be turned into a human,
but a human can be turned into a vampire.

You know, something like this just occurred to me last night. I think the
lengths we have gone to to save this show are unprecedented. Already
well over $7,000 in the charity drive, all the letters, calling stations, blood
drives, etc. and the piece de resistance, attending the NATPE convention
with all the flyers, bags, and the EM ad. NOBODY has done this before.
And now with all the media
attention we're getting (combined with everything else), TriStar *is* backed
into a corner. Can you imagine the bad publicity they might get if they
*don't* renew it? After all we've done? Our efforts are certainly being
noticed in a big way, and if TriStar doesn't renew, that's sure to be noticed,
too (and not in a very good light for them).
Anybody else been having this impression lately?

I've wondered about this also. It seems that Tristar wanted to cancel
because they have enough to strip. So now we find out what is important,
people to watch the shows or having enough to strip and then going home.
Clearly the syndicators want eye-balls for their programs but Tri-star
doesn't care about new eps if they have enough to strip. It will be
intersting to see who wins. They figure they will have also as many
eyeballs watching the rerun stripped shows as would watch new eps.

Subject: NATPE: Word from the *Front*
Just spoke with Cherri Munoz, one of the "NATPE 7" to get an update on
events yesterday. I believe AnnMarie also spoke to someone out there
and will be posting some preliminary info.
Tonight, as I understand it, the Strike Force will be posting a summary
of what happened, together with (hopefully) the text of the EM article.
I've had the article read to me over the phone, and it is GREAT! Very
respectful and sympathetic to our efforts, and imo, it hits all the
right buttons. Great quotes from AnnMarie and Catherine, used to great
effect. This should DEFINITELY go into any publicity stuff we may be
sending out hereafter.
The article is titled, in large block lettering: FOREVER KNIGHT FANS
RISE UP ON THE INTERNET. Wayne Walley compares us to the 1960s
Trekkies (there are worse comparisons that could be made, believe me,
than to the ST franchise!), then goes on to say we are more "organized
and sophisticated" than others who have launched save a show campaigns
<g>. He talks about the charity donation to PAF, about the blood
drive, about the SFK web page, about the lottery tickets, about the
flowers and homebaked cookies to syndicators, everything! :-) He also
quotes Catherine on the positive demographics stuff from the November
book and closes with her comment that FK could be extremely successful
but has rarely been given favorable time slots by program managers!
Back to NATPE itself: someone who took a bag and flyer from Cherri
told her they would "talk to Jon" who they were seeing that night;
someone else apparently told Diane E. the same thing regarding Kay K!
Oh, and dear Paul DaCruz of EM, who made the EM article possible by
pitching our story to Wayne Walley, stopped by to chat with our Strike
Force members. He was extremely nice! The Strike Force sent candies,
flyers and some of the flowers we sent them <g> to the EM suite in
Vegas, but I think we really have to do something nice for these guys
when they get back home!
Anyway, this is just a quick report of what I heard this morning; I'm
sure there will be far more detail - and the article - tonight!
Looking forward to that!

Ahhhh, wellllll....I would *like* to allow myself that impression, but
unless I hear from the TPTB that Forever Knight will have a fourth
season (and good funding for it), I can't bring myself to get too
encouraged.
It's nice to read stuff like this, though.

Subject: Re: Geminis
I agree with Sandra, my favorite ep from the 2nd season is The Fix. Guess I
like the ones that showcase Ger's abilities. This year SoB and NiQ had
similar intensity to them. However, I'm glad to see him nominated for
*anything*.

Subject: FK PPL, not LPL
Golly, I didn't mean to cause confusion with my other
tiny off-topic note.
What I meant was: "I just want to thank all the FK PEOPLE- fans, actors,
and crew for the enjoyment they've provided over the years".
I was feeling sorta Hallmarkish today
I was trying to keep it short, but I think it was too short :)

Subject: GOODIES: Report #2
At last, the long-awaited....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOODIES Report #2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Send e-mail to percy91@w....... with GOODIES in the subject line
if:
(a) you have sent something you'd like to report,
(b) you'd like a list of cast & crew so you can send
something to someone in particular, or
(c) have any questions.
Also, you can refer to the list of cast and crew at:
http://members.aol.com/CuznJamiMR/credits/credits.htm
Remember, don't forget the little people!!
Please keep your notes and gifts on the light side. Avoid anything
personal or romantic; we're trying to cheer up the cast and crew, not
freak them out! And be aware if you're sending things from outside Canada
that some customs rules might be in force (despite that free trade
agreement thing). Does anyone know what types of things should be
avoided? Has anyone had trouble in the past? So far no word of trouble
with chocolates, toys, or cookies. Probably alcohol of any kind is a bad
idea.
Send goodies, thank you notes, cards, etc. to:
Paragon Entertainment/Forever Knight
119 Spadina Ave., Suite 900
Toronto, Ontario M5V 2L1
CANADA
If you have something delicate which needs to be hand-delivered, e-mail me
off-list and I'll try to put you in contact with someone in Toronto who
can arrange delivery.
Items for James Parriott, whose office is in California, not Toronto,
should be sent to:
James D. Parriott
Forever Knight Productions
4063 Radford Ave.
Studio City, CA 91604
USA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The latest word: our appreciation goodies have begun arriving at the
studio, and they are being greatly enjoyed by the entire production
team!
Below is the latest list of GOODIES reported to me!
*************************************************************************

lurking production crew or cast members to scurry off unless you want to
ruin your surprise!)

Specially designed certificates of appreciation for the cast and crew!

elephant nose, paper fan, ball-bearings-in-the-holes games, tumble bug,
rice candy, magic tumbler, swinging ball toy, gummi chilis, dominos,

- Jamie Melody Randell <immajer@p.......>:
Real warm fuzzies!
- Lynn Messing <messing@a.......>:
A "barrel of monkeys" game with a yellow sticky saying something to the
effect of, "For when you feel like 'monkeying around' on the set." Then
surrounding that, in lieu of foam packaging peanuts, Hershey's kisses
(about 1.5 pounds worth).
- Nancy Taylor (NancyT503@a.......):
Nearly 7 pounds of Hershey's Hugs and Kisses to the entire cast and crew
along with a sappy "cheer up, we're behind you" note.
- Cyndi Knecht <cknecht@m.......>:
Cyndi lives in Florida but arranged to send 10 pounds of pretzels and 5
pounds of chocolate from a pretzel bakery and chocolate factory in Lititz,
PA.

Valentines candy and toys. Note: Wendy Marie says, "I wrote Candy and
Toys and cards on the customs list...the postal worker laughed at me but
oh well." Let 'em laugh, Wendy Marie!
- Bea Quindlen (OCaoin@a.......) with Barb Galyean, Linda Roth, & Allison
Percy
The Philadelphia-area Phans of Phorever Knight are sending about 15 pounds
(!) of candy up - Hershey bars, Cookies 'n' Creme, Reese's cups (of
course!) all overwrapped in red with "Forever Hershey" a la the FK logo,
Hugs and Kisses, little packages of Valentines Day conversation hearts
with Natalie's quote about them on each one, gold chocolate coins and
(tracked down by Linda Roth) "Forever Chocolates" - that's really what
they're called.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I'd love to be on the set after everyone has scarfed down that much
chocolate, when there are that many toys lying around to play with! Any
other brilliant ideas out there?
Is anyone a member of Ger's fan club? In my membership packet I got
instructions for folding an origami *bat*. If I could find the
instructions (and I can't), I'd get to work folding a bunch of the things.
One bat for each member of the cast and crew! GWD fan club members, get
to work!
Way to go, listpals. I think the cheer we're spreading up there will do
some good! Look for more smiling faces on the last few episodes filmed
this season. Also check the actors for the tell-tale signs of chocolate
overload (jumpiness, unexplained good mood, chocolate smudges on their
faces, etc.).

Subject: That "Trio" story
I was just wondering if the author of the story "Trio" (some parts of which
were posted under the ADULT header) posted any more parts after part 3
("Ch-ch-ch-Changes")? I ask because I got unsubbed for a teensy while when
the server was bouncing messages. If anyone out there knows anything, or has
more parts, could you please email me? Thanks!
