There's an article/interview on Ger & FK in the 3/14 UPI entertainment column "Scott's World", called appropriately enough, "Graveyard Shift Actor". It's a little behind the times, in that the cancellation of the show isn't mentioned, although it's hinted at (and Ger still talks about being on USA on Monday nights...) If you get clari.net, it's posted in the newsgroups: clari.living.entertainment.misc, clari.living, clari.living.entertainment Otherwise, it might be in your local paper, if they pick up the UPI arts & entertainment articles. Anything posted on clari.net has active copyright protection up the wazoo, so I *cannot* post it to the list. (They pursue violations with fangs bared...) - S -- -- Sarah E.

If I understand it correctly, Ribena is a flavored syrup, that is supposed to be diluted down to the approximate equivalent of kool-aid. I've been buying something similar since visiting relatives in what was then Yugoslavia (now Croatia.) It comes in various flavors, but the raspberry looks about the right color and consistency. <g> I buy it at a store that sells German food, so probably any large-ish store that has a foreign food section would have it.

He looks up from under his sunglasses, on the beach, in the blazing sun and says, "No, I *used* to be a good cop."

It's some kind of syrup (blackberry, :boysenberry, blackcurrant, I forget) that is supposed to be diluted, but :when used for blood, is drunk straight -- and it is sweet, a sticky cloying :sweetness that lingers in the throat for a loooooong time. Non-alcoholic, :so the budding bartender need not be embarrassed for her non-knowledge; and :it's English in origin, I think, so it's a little difficult to get here in :the US. It's made in England, but it is primarily enjoyed by Orientals (especially from Hong Kong) and people of Russian descent. You can often find it in Oriental grocery stores that cater to people from Hong Kong (as opposed to Vietnamese or Thai or Japanese). It is black currant concentrate. (Makes a nice pancake syrup, but don't tell your non-FK friends what other uses it has or they may, like mine, refuse it.) Kat Kat ( June Russell ) pacifier.com!grendal!kat kat@g....... Heu!

I was watching LNMTA a few days ago, and I saw Nick fly off to rescue Natalie and Tracy (as he often does). Now, I tend to have a bad sense of direction, and it takes me a couple seconds to orient myself when I go somewhere. This is true even if I am familiar with an area. The question is, do you think Nick, and FK vampires, have some sort of built in compass? They always seem to know exactly where they are going. Can you imagine a vampire with a bad sense of direction? "Damn, I think I took a wrong turn at the Big Dipper" or "OOps, wrong murder. I was looking for the one on Main." It was in the back of my mind, so I thought I would ask.

Yes, let's. Do what Sharon, Susan, etc. said. Write more letters: to USA, to SFC, your local cable company, and so forth. Add this simple phrase to the end of every letter sent to SFC: *"When are you going to produce new episodes of FK?"* Trust me, they won't remember if you've asked before. This is the crew who can't even figure out the *airing order*. Tell your local cable company, if you don't have the Sci-Fi Channel yet. Tell the SFC that you are in the process of petitioning your local cable provider to annex SFC, for this very reason. If you send them a letter, cc it to USA as well. Show them where our priorities lie. And in the meantime, how about a secondary project as well? Let's try and see if we can get the FK Soundtrack certified as a gold record, shall we? That means a mere 500,000 copies <EG>. Think about it--- don't you guys all know people who might like Fred's ambient genius, who aren't particularly fans of vampires or FK? C'mon, guys. It's fun. Play "Music-Aficionados-I-Have-Known" with me ;) . If you're a student, take one into your campus radio station--- they've got more leeway in what they can play. As well as generating the concomitant publicity, it would be an excellent way to thank Fred for his service to the list. Heck, forget gold, try for platinum ;) Felicia Bollin AriCon@a.......

Vaqueros and Reese's Pieces will have to wait until I have time to do some scanning and tinkering, but I hope to have them up by next week. Or so. Also discovered that you can't take the images from the page if you have Netscape lower than 2.0.

And sorry about spelling Pizzaro incorrectly--my mind wasn't on conquistadors as much as foam-core, pins, and glue. I'm phonetically-challenged. May I also recommend that if you haven't gotten to CyberVanguard's interview with Nigel, you definitely take a look . . . and a listen.

Hunter's ultimate fate after Dark Knight II is as follows. (Part of this has been in someone's fanfic, somewhere, and it makes perfect sense to me) Lacroix, weak, staked, and one very unhappy vampire, summoned poor stupid Allyce "Zombie Queen" to his side, and forced the baby vamp to (a) take the smoking stake OUT of his chest, and (b) fetch him take out food. :) Meals on rollerblades, anyone? After a few months... a few weeks, a few days... as soon as he was able to, Uncle did the only humane thing, and put himself out of his misery and realized that Nick had been, for once, quite right. Allyce "Brain Donor" Hunter made a rotten vampire, always whining about Nick, always grossed out by the reality of her new situation, always, always asking stupid questions about the Roman Empire. So he tricked her out into the sunlight, shut the door behind her, then went off to a vacation in the Bahamas. The End. Thank God. Which accounts both for how LC "I'm too powerful to die" actually managed to survive Dark Knight II, and why we never saw Allyce "Alexandra's Dumber Twin" Hunter again. {Okay, okay, fair's fair... she wasn't THAT bad.... no, I'm lying. I've seen this actress in other parts, doing a much better job. She WAS that bad in Dark Knight, but it was probably partly the Director's fault. Standard Bimbo Victim #1 of the series bites the dust...} I just can't see this woman surviving Going Across otherwise. I'm sorry, that's the way I feel. Christina, vqrw76a@p.......

'Cause they've been good friends for four years already, and ALMOST know all of each others' bad points. 'Cause they love each other (yeah, I know, not good enough, but it's still worth mentioning). 'Cause they both have a certain silly side to them. 'Cause they're good/nice people (not always the same thing) who have had rotten luck in the romance department (overall... I don't count Janette, Nick was lucky to have her while he did) and they deserve a break. 'Cause they're both brave heroic types, willing to die for each other if necessary, and that kind of sacrifice shouldn't be taken lightly. 'Cause Natalie isn't a blonde, so her chances of survival are slightly higher than average if she goes to bed with Nick. 'Cause (as someone else said) they're both pig-headed, and inflicting either of them on someone else would just be Too Cruel. 'Cause Natalie doesn't let Nick get away with the self-pity routine. 'Cause Nick thinks Natalie's knees are adorable. 'Cause it's the end of the twentieth century almost, and they should have someone to see the millenia in with. 'Cause I want to see Lacroix lose the battle AND the war. 'Cause. Just because. There is no other way to resolve this that won't be unbearable, just about... although, if Gillian wrote a really realistic script, I'd be willing to bet I'd almost be resigned to Nick flying into the sunset without Natalie. Almost. True Love Conquers All. The course of true love never did run smooth, so this must be true love... which makes as much sense as it did when the two lovers who first uttered the phrase in MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM did so. 'Cause I said so. Christina, vqrw76a@p.......

Great movie, by the way....And if you want to merge the two plots a bit more, you could put Nick in a dress. (Well, why not...think of some of the other things they've put him in, over the years.)

The liquid level in the bottle doesn't decrease and 2.) If you watch his throat, there are no swallowing motions as is common when people are "chugging" a drink. >Hmm... this might explain why we see the cast rarely actually drinking the >stuff. In fact I can only recall a few instances where they actually >guzzled a glassful ....and "Fever" - Nick. If you watch "Fever" again, you'll notice that never really see Ger/Nick swallow it. He's just kind of holding it in his mouth and then they cut away.
