About LC casting, I think Bester is better than Morden. Bester has a sense
of humor. Morden would just be a stick figure LC.

Warf's mate's (not formally his wife) name was K'Ehlar, and she was
played by Suzie Plakson...(and I know this not because I am a Star Trek
geek, but because I looked it up on the net). =)
I think she would make a great Jeanette....However, Marina Sirtis
(Deanna Troi) could too. We have only seen her as Deanna, which can be
an annoying character, but the actress has the look. She could also
play a good Jeanette.

Subject: Re: Introduction
Hi Beth,
Welcome to the wonderful world of Forever Knight. It's so nice to find
another MA fan. I live out in Agawam, but grew up in Lowell (still have
family there). There are actually quite a few fans in the Boston area. In
Jan. I went to an FK party in Brookline (had never met any of the people
before, but it was fun).
I noticed that you're also a Highlander fan. Maybe we could work out some
sort of tape trade. I have all episodes of FK on tape (American as well as
Canadian for the 1st season eps) but I'm missing most of seasons 3 and 4 for
Highlander. Might you have those on tape? I know I could continue taping
from USA, but would much prefer to just get the tapes and be done with it.
Let me know...
Gail aka Urs (well, the BOTTLE says I'm blonde...)
P/S BTW, are you aware that there's an FK chat room on the IRC? It's called
#ForeverKnight. I've met alot of fans there - even a couple from MA.

ROTFLMAO! I just got a mental picture of two donkeys, one with Sterns
hair and sunglasses and one with Rush's stupid ties...and LC snickering.
Thanks...That's better than the picture of Rush I have on my freezer with
a bull's eye painted over his face!

Aaack! My Trekiness requires me to make this correction. While I agree
that the actress/character in question is TNG's best hope for a proper
Janette, her name is pronounced "Kay-lar"! "Kah-less" is... you don't
even want to know! And she was *never* married to Worf. He proposed;
she refused; Alexander was born... and she was murdered.
And kudos to whomever said Barclay could play Screed... <g>

You are... joking, right? Nick wouldn't have anything more than a
big-brotherly relationship with Tracy if she was the last female on the
planet... But I suppose you could be referring to the necessity of
having *someone* at work aware of his condition. It's a moot point now,
but -- and I *am* kidding -- just imagine... Tracy trying to cover for
Nick's "allergy"... Tracy trying to excuse Nick's not eating... Tracy and
Nick having in-jokes in front of Reese... Oh, dear. The very thought
reminds me of first-season Richie on HL. What a *sidekick* she'd be!

I just saw this ep (Close Call) for the first time this past weekend. WOW!
He seemed so very charming and pleasant, but he never answered a question
directly. He just responded to every question with another question,
guiding Schanke skillfully toward the answers he wanted him to find. No
psychiatrist could have done better. This character just leaves me in awe
sometimes (as does Nigel's portrayal). And didn't you love how he backed
Nick and Janette away from the window with just a hint of a snarl?
To me, this season's most impressive example of LaCroix's hypnotism is in
Sons of Belial. LaCroix manages to make a man who is intimately familiar
with demons, devils, and denizens of the night forget that he just saw two
vampires in full fang, as it were. If anyone were going to be a resistor,
it would be this dude, but LaCroix just holds up that imposing hand (in a
gesture that is absurdly similar to the sign for "I love you" in ASL) and
puts on the whammy. And the guy buys it. Y'all know Nick never could have
done that.
I guess age does have its advantages.

Come to think of it -- and forgive me if it's been thought; I'm still a
newbie -- but LC, in the world of FK, must have... *fans*! Unless he's
broadcasting just to the caddy <g> I assume that the Nightcrawler has a
regular audience... maybe even a little listserve group for discussing those
words of wicked wisdom... LC might read digests of it as NB does on
fkspoilr... and, considering Dianne's delightful "Vice Versa," Tippi's
terribly satisfying "Eternal Champion" and Jamie's plug for _Number of
the Beast_, our relation to those fans would be...? :) Staggers the
imagination (well, mine at least, but then, it's Friday and I've used up
my brain-cell allotment for the week...)!
