Sorry, all. Just accidentally posted a story to forkni-l instead of

Actually, I have heard of such things.
Friends of mine have referred to it as "the preemptive strike" <EG>.
However, the way they explained it doesn't have anything to do with a wall.
Rather, the rationale they give for this behavior is *trying to tick the
other person off* so that you can get *them* to break up with *you* so you
don't have to do the dirty work. Perhaps Nat has a subconscious wish to
drive a wedge between herself and Nick by naggy behavior and thus sever any
possibility of getting close romantically, due to intense fear of
relationships herself.
And: Re: Feedback from the Dominion
C'mon, guys. Even *I* know better than that. And I watch almost NO
television. Not only Beauty and the Beast, and Remington Steele, but at
least *ten* other episodic shows I found listed in an ad in some magazine
(Entertainment Weekly, perhaps?) And, let's not forget the Highlander <grrr>
tapes, "with special footage never seen before!" commercials proliferating on
late-night tv. You'll just have to do better than that, Sci-Fi.

Has the "Prisoners of the Knight" convention in Toronto this weekend been
CANCELLED? I just saw what appears to be a notice to that effect on the
convention link of the FK information page. Is it TRUE? I've been waiting
for the thing for SIX MONTHS, but I didn't DARE make advance reservations
because of my employment situation. WHAT HAPPENED?!?

NO! Catherine, don't accept this apology. After all, Raven/ettes have

after all, a grownup.
And now, the point of our public service announcement:

Well, let us tell you what they did for us...
It all started one bitterly cold, windy Sunday afternoon in February. At
1:30 p.m. Toronto time, Will Steeves and Lynne Ackerman were to meet in the
lobby of the Primrose Hotel to co-ordinate a "three hour tour" of Forever
Knight hotspots. Their victims were instructed to meet them at 2 p.m., and
to be ready to leave right away.
Shortly (?) after 2 p.m., Will and Lynne finally appeared. They left their
victims standing by the elevators as they huddled on a couch, scribbling
hieroglyphics on scraps of paper. Inquiries were made from time to time by
the victims as to when the tour would leave, but no answers were forthcoming.
The "Tour Guides" were still figuring out what they were going to show us on
the tour. Gee ... and we thought they'd given this tour many times before.
Eventually, when the victims were ready to call it quits, Will finally
announced that the tour was ready to leave. There was only one small
problem. His car had no gas.
Sooooo... Will went to get his car and meet everyone out front, while the
victims piled into two cars, with Lynne in the front car (so she could let
them know what they were seeing -- too bad about the victims in the second
car, surely they'd be able to figure it out on their own), and prepared to
follow Will to the gas station. There was only one small problem. Will
forgot that he was the leader.
When the victims pulled out of the driveway, Will was nowhere in sight. He
claimed later that he was behind the second car, but no-one saw him ... and
we were looking for him.
Following Lynne's instructions, the first car turned out of the driveway and
made a left turn at the lights. This was, apparently, not quite correct. As
a result of the misunderstanding, both cars had to make illegal u-turns.
In a futile attempt to discover what had happened to Will, the two cars
paused briefly near the hotel, but continued on when it was obvious that he
had not waited for his tour to follow him. He later claimed that his victims
had "lost" him. Exactly how do you lose your leader?
Lynne assured the victims in the first car that she could guide the tour.
After all, she is a "Tour Guide". To make a long story short, we wandered
around Toronto for a number of hours, following the garbled instructions of
someone who does not drive. For your pleasure, we offer some highlights:
Illegally parking in front of and blocking the entrance to the parking garage
of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Headquarters. There was only one small
problem: the police officer trying to get into the garage objected.
Stopping on a street in front of an alley. There was only one small problem:
the victims in the second car had no idea why they were stopping there. How
did they find out? Two of the victims got out of the first car and told them
... this was apparently the alley where the woman had stopped in her car in
Sons of Belial. Wow!!
Pulling into the parking lot of Casa Loma (where Father Figure was shot).
There was only one small problem: you can't get into Casa Loma in a car
without paying. So, the cars did another u-turn out of the parking lot, and
pulled over on the road just in front of the Casa Loma. There was only one
small problem. It was a two lane road, and other people wanted to pass.
At this point, the victims staged a rebellion. They no longer wanted to
follow the "tour". All they wanted was to see the loft, the police station
and the studio. So, off we went.
...and went... and went... and went....
A quick drive through Chinatown on a Sunday. There was only one small
problem. The cars didn't move in Chinatown that Sunday. Heck, the
pedestrians were hardly able to move in Chinatown that Sunday. So... the
cars crawled along the road -- at one point, almost losing each other.
One of the victims took advantage of the lull and got out of a car to pick up
her photographs. Lynne directed the first car in a looping maneuver,
including a highly illegal u-turn on Yonge Street. By the time the victims
made it back, the photographs had been picked up, paid for, and the victim
was waiting patiently for her ride.
The victims did make it to the loft and the police station. There are
photographs to prove this. There was only one small problem. By this time,
one victim had surrendered to motion sickness from driving around in circles
for hours. And the tour wasn't over.
So, on to the studio via a brief peek at Jilly's strip club. There was only
one small problem. This was against the clearly spoken wishes of the victims
-- they didn't want to see Jilly's strip club.
The studio was fine. It was freezing, but we got to see the dressing rooms,
ogle the cars belonging to the cast and crew and, last but certainly not
least, have our pictures taken in front of the now-removed Forever Knight
sign. There is even a truly spectacular shot of Lynne's gloved thumb in one
victim's photograph.

Okay, we admit it ... the tour was unforgettable. Both drivers suffered

Mr. Steeves? Your car will be available? Will it have gas? Will you
remember that you are leading the tour? Will you plan it out ahead of time?
Will you give a list of "hotspots" to the people in the other cars so they
know what they're looking at?
Enquiring minds want to know?
Lynne did her best, but it was impossible for someone who doesn't drive to
lead a tour. Your victims hope you apologized to her profusely. You
certainly didn't apologize to them. In fact, you blamed them for taking off
without you.

With a leader like that, how can they go wrong?
Seriously folks, the tour is a good idea. All you need is a locations list
and a car. You may even have fun ... if you don't use a "Tour Guide".

Subject: Starlog Writer/Journalistic Blockade
Sherri, the gentleman's full name is Peter Bloch-Hanson. He's credited
as Starlog's "Canadian Correspondent," and imho he's one of the best
interviewers around.
What a stroke of luck (and testament to the nature of Torontonians!) that
someone picked up his lost letter and returned it to him! And thanks for
sharing his response with us. Your news, and that of the person who
talked to McConnell in Cleveland over the weekend, indicates that
Tri-Star isn't playing any straighter with the media than they are with
us. Their story seems to change daily. Maybe I'm just being delusional
about our significance, but I can't help wondering if they're withholding
all information because we're too good at annoying the heck out of them
with it.
Minor rant: is anyone else *really* sick of being patted on the head and
fed platitudes about "concrete business reasons" by people who (a) can't
be bothered to be upfront about what those reasons are but hide behind
the implication that we couldn't possibly understand such highfalutin
arcane things, and (b) seem, at least by examination of the facts we *do*
have, to be functioning with the business sense of a turnip?
Discounting the various somebody's-personal-agenda theories (even though
I happen to beleve that's *exactly* what's going on here), what we're
apparently left with is the currently rampant disease of wanting another
X-Files and conveniently forgetting that X-Files wasn't X-Files until Fox
made an investment in audience development that was *utterly*
uncharacteristic of them and of the industry in general.
The facts we have point to a complete lack of accountability
(waitaminnit, isn't that why Sony's in trouble in the first place?) and
lack of respect for both vendors (JP & Co.) and consumers (us *and* the
advertisers, who I realize are still the only *recognized* consumers, and
who are *not* being served by having their spots seen during a show
nobody bothered to promote adequately for the return the evidently
expected).
Say you've got a product to sell, and you toss it on the market
scattershot with zero advertising, then wonder why a small group of
consumers swear by it but the rest don't seem to know it exists.
Needless to say, yo'ure not going to get rich this way. It'll be a
miracle if you get anything other than a dull THUD. And any
businessperson *I* know would listen to that "hypothetical"
scenario--and say that a company that functions that way is likely to splat
and probably deserves to.
Okay, this became a major rant. My apologies. I know i'm preaching to
the choir here, but it's the only place I've got. I'm starting to think
I actually liked it better when they didn't think of us as anything but
numbers; now they seem to think of us as silly little children who can be
packed off with assurances that the grownups know what's best. And
exactly what do they think we all do for a living? Me, I spend 40 hours
a week at a ballet company that knows what cutthroat budgeting *really*
is, and we'll be around long after Newt and his buddies finish battering
their favorite federal-budget scapegoats out of existence. We don't have
(or behave like we have) zillions of dollars to waste until we suddenly
panic and pull the plug--standard operating procedure in Hollywood, which
still has its head stuck in the mid-80s, which is why all these
corporations are in so much trouble. We do things right the first time
because we don't have a choice. We see what's coming and we plan for it.
Tri-Star seems to expect us to eat our cookies and drink our milk and go
to bed like good little girls and boys. Or at least *hope* we will--I'll
credit them with enough intelligence not to *expect* us to. :-)
Call me vindictive, but I'm taking great pleasure in disappointing them.
I'm not vindictive enough to be keeping an eye on their stocks yet, but
it's real close. I think it'll only take one more inane trotting out of
the old "it *is* a business, you know" BS. If they think we're buying
it, they're dumber than we thought. I don't put up with that kind of
patronizing from mechanics and doctors; I'm certainly not accepting it
from them.
I gotta stop not being able to sleep at the crack of inhuman. %-}

I'm sorry. The first thought that jumped into my head is to call this the
Pinky and the Brain affiliation.

Yes, it's true that POTK is cancelled. David Gracey posted a notice
about it on Vampyres last fall. He said there weren't enough advance
registrations, if I remember correctly.
I thought it had been mentioned on here, but I may be mistaken.

That, and the interaction with Calvin. LaCroix stops him dead in his tracks
with that one hand (and an expression that would freeze magma), then
delivers the "race that dares not speak its name" speech--oooh! And the way
he says the word "revenge!" still gives me the creeps. What a wonderful
performance! I could never be a cousin--LaCroix scares me half silly. If he
showed up in my living room like that, I'd just have a cardiac arrest and
save him the trouble of killing me.

Even when Nigel doesn't say anything he is incredible. I loved him in the
Raven scene in Fallen Idol (no spoiler). THAT was great acting.

Subject: couples faction
Hey y'all. I'm delurking for a bit:
Re: the Nick and LaCroix thread. Although a same-sex couple has appeal
to me as a lesbian, I must admit, this particular pairing I find in very
bad taste (pardon the pun.) LaCroix is Nick's father in many ways and
given the large number of child abuse and incest survivors out there,
there must be a better way to deliniate their relationship than on the
same level as Nat and Nick (about that, why do I feel like I did with the
Beauty and the Beast all the time: kiss already!)
Now, of course, the people who suggested the pairing and who have tried
to name it, may not be thinking of it in those terms at all, in which
case, I'm sorry and I re-lurking.
And am I correct in understanding that if your cable company doesn't
carry SciFi, that's it? How nasty. Not that I haven't been bugging them
to add it before this, but now I have an even better incentive...

Does anyone know if Saturday's WOR episode of Airwolf had Ger in

wondering if Friday's was the last one. Private e-mail is fine. Thanks.

Very intuitive. I agree. Natalie for the first season had spunk, then in
the second season, it's almost as if she didn't exist for most of it - she
was getting walked over by Nick. He'd try one "hope" for a cure, and when
it didn't happen, he'd go running back to Nat. She was his grounded
reality, and he took it for granted. The problem was the way Natalie was
written last season. She took his backslides and all and just accepting it
as being "just Nick".
This season, it seems that the writers had woken up. Natalie was no longer
taking any crap from Nick (or LaCroix for that matter). She was involved
in vampire community most likely more than she cared to be and was tired
of the old line: "you're mortal, you wouldn't understand". She seemed to
wear her emotions more openly, and they were often rough on her. But
Natalie still keeps a wall of protection around her. She does not want to
be hurt anymore.
Cath has done a wonderful job of portraying the various emotions of
Natalie Lambert. She's got a wonderful way playing out a whole scene just
by reading her facial expressions (ex. MBIAV teaser).

Back to the NK-LC faction (bad, Kim!), I still like the Wilde theme
and Tippi's initial "The love that dare not speak its name" thread.
How about "The Faction that Dare Not Speak Its Name" <eg>.
