Does this apply even though it seems that most of us (those *not* getting
satellite feed, but having to wait for SFC or syndication channels) won't
see the ep for another week?? Seems unrealistic to me. I would suggest
perhaps waiting until after SFC airs them, since they seem to be *later*
than any other showing, thus assuring that most people will have actually
*seen* the ep when you start discussing it. Just MHO.

Subject: Re: Did GWD kill it??
I think it would be kind of dumb for an actor in a lead series to kill his
own series especially since he tended to be growing in power - IE learning to
direct. Whereelse would he have gotton an opportunity to direct.
The money was steady and good. Now he has to find work and he may not be
certain to break into the American market.
I vote that he wanted the series to go on.

Hi!
Allison Percy wrote that she would be leaving for Toronto soon and that she
wouldn't be able to send the Prodigy chat log to those who request it until
sometimes next week. I have the log too, and I'm not going to Toronto :(,
so you can e-mail me instead if you want to get it before next week.
Now, just be aware that my Internet Service Provider is taking a break
tomorrow from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m (Thursday), so I won't be able to send the log
during that period (btw, that also means that my Web page won't be
accessible during those 12 hours. I'll still be able to receive e-mail, I
just won't be able to read it or reply to it.) After that short
interruption, there shouldn't be any other problem. I usually send the log
the same day I get the request.
Well, see ya soon...

Bobbie...
I read your post with great interest! Any chance you could elaborate a
bit more on why you feel this way? Might I persuade you to see it another
way? <G>
I agree, that LaCroix can come off as a real SOB, which would make it even
more evident ( to me) that he did truly love Fleur. The look on his face
when she goes to help him! LC weakened in the presence of a mere mortal? He
looked like a puppy dog! He even tried to stay away from her, which I
thought was very gallant of him. And if he truly wanted to get at Nick, why
didn't he just take her? He certainly could have, but he didn't and in his
anger and frustration he struck that bargain with Nick, hoping to inflict
the same pain that he was feeling on Nick.
Are you swaying a bit yet??? <G>
Bobbie went on to say:
>I accept that the fear of being along is what motivates LaCroix--after 2000
>years, he still doesn't have anyone he can call a friend--it appears that he
>hasn't established any other permanent relationships other than his ties to
>Nick and Janette--that's scary.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I stink at trying to remember
episode titles, but what about the one with the "mob" guy? He had helped LC
and LC returned the favor. This was a man who he had remained friends with it.
> I have never seen him show any respect for Nick's thoughts or feelings.
In my last post I said that I felt that their relationship is more like a
parent and a teenager. How many times did adults not realize that their
"baby" has thoughts and feelings of their own, which do not always coincide
with their parents.
Ah, well...I hope that I have persuaded you a bit, at least as much as your
post has made me take a second look at certain things, especially your post
about properly bringing other across, a lesson that he seems to have skipped!
Thanks!

Okay, since everyone else is giving their $.02 worth, I'll give mine:
I think that Ger wanted to continue with the show. If there was a fourth season
I'm sure he would be one of the first ones in line to sign back up-under the
right conditions, of course. Maybe along with his fear of heights and guns,
there might be a fear of being stereotyped into playing vampire-type roles. We
all know he's good at playing a vampire-whether it be our beloved angsty Brick,
or the devious and wickedly evil Klaus. I know that I don't want to see him
fall into that Bela Legosi persona..you know every roll he plays is a vampire
(well almost).
IMHO, Ger's too good of an actor for that.
I believe he has the talent and style to go far in the entertainment industry.
He wouldn't want that vampire sterotype to prohibit him from doing just that.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to see him play Nick for at least one more
season (fingers & toes crossed)Hopefully he will get a chance to do
that...whether it be in 4th season FK or (hoping and praying,) TV movies

I don't care if he was playing one-fingered scales without chords, I'd buy
it in a heartbeat!

ARGH, No, please, Storm, don't make us do this! [Valery grovels] If we're
very careful, and put the name of the episode in the subject line (as the
rules tell us) then you can put them in a folder to read after you've seen
the episode. But us poor people with satellite dishes will never, never,
EVER be able to wait *2 whole weeks* to talk about an episode! I sometimes
can't wait *one* week! <VBG>
Shoot, some of us can't seem to wait until an episode even airs before we
need to talk (and thus the spaces) ;)

Subject: Birthday cake
Hi all :)
Something happened to me that I thought I would share with you. I just
turned 22 today. I know big deal. Anyway mom had made a cake and as she
brought it over she said that I had to close my eyes. Standing there with my
eyes closed she informed me that she was not an artist and that the cake was not
the most beautiful in the world. My reply was something to the effect that it
didn't matter what it looked liked as long as it went well with the ice cream
(you can tell what I thought was important). At her command I opened my eyes,
looked at the cake and let out a happy yelp.
The cake had yellow frosting (lemon, Yum!) in black was my name along the
bottom with candles in the top left. In the right corner was a rather lopsided
face (you know the one on the HAVE A NICE DAY shrits) only he had a set of
candy corn fangs with red food coloring on them. It was the best present that I
got. : )
Sorry to take up so much ban width.

And yes it went very well with the ice cream too thank you very much.

Subject: At Long Last - The Fan Tour Guides FAQ
Amazingly enough, I only recently managed to catch up on all of the
lists...however, I am still over a month behind in most of my e-mail, and I
only recently managed to get to most of the mail regarding the upcoming
Fan-Tour-By-Car. This FAQ is also provided to FORKNI-L for the benefit of
those planning a trip to Toronto in the near to moderate future.
So, at long last, here it is....
THE FAN TOUR GUIDES FAQ
========================
Address all questions, complaints, letter bombs, and lollygagging to Will
Steeves, goid@i........
Q: What is the Fan Tour?
A: It's a 2-3 hour car tour of many of the Forever Knight filming sights.
Some of the sites are of great relevance (eg., the exterior of Nick's loft,
the exterior of The Raven, etc.), while others are somewhat more mundane (eg.,
the alley where The Fire Inside's teaser was filmed, the auction house in
Queen of Harps, etc.).
Q: Is this a professional tour?
A: No. We are _just_ fellow fans. We are not professional tour guides, so
controlled chaos will likely be the order of the day, and that's generally on
good days. :-) However, we do learn from our mistakes, thankfully enough.
Q: Does the tour include any inside locations?
A: No. Only exterior locations are shown.
Q: Does the tour include the studio?
A: No...just the outside of the studio.
Q: Who runs the Fan Tour Guides?
A: Nobody, really. :-) Seriously, now... Since last year, several members
of the Toronto contingent, including Lynne Ackerman, Anna Sawitzky, Jonathan
Tracy, Marg Yamanaka and Will Steeves, took it upon themselves to offer
visiting fans a tour of various filming sites. In fact, if memory serves
correctly, the first such tour was offered by us in the summer of 1995, and it
was a walking tour for Laurie Fenster. Countless other tours have followed
since then, but generally such tours have involved Will doing the driving in
what Jonathan calls "Will's black, subversive Buick Century".
Recently, we discovered that these tours were _originally_ conducted by none
other than the legendary Don Bassingthwaite, who has left us for brighter
pastures in publishing (...but incidentally, whom I suspect is among us once
again, under an assumed name...is this idle speculation? Perhaps, perhaps not)
Q: What is the Toronto Tour Guides Faction?
A: The Toronto Tour Guides "faction" is a strictly tongue-in-cheek faction,
which was created on the spur of the moment, while Will, Lynne, and other
Toronto contingent members were sitting down waiting for Deborah Duchene's
play, "The Winter's Tale" to begin. Will thought that it would be
enlightening and entertaining to pick out one of the fan guests in the
audience, and ask how the Toronto contingent were performing as hosts.
After much "eeny-meeny-miney-mo"ing, Will posed his question to Maureen Wynn,
and after receiving a positive response, whispered to Lynne, "Hey, let's start
a Toronto Tour Guides Faction". The rest, as they say, is history...
(Basically, it's a cute name that the we in the Toronto contingent are giving
ourselves :-) )
Q: How much does it cost?
A: Nothing whatsoever! Occasionally, guests have been known to chip in for
gas, but this is by no means a requirement. If your finances are strained,
this will NOT prevent you from taking a tour. Furthermore, nobody should feel
compelled to exchange money at all.
Q: When is the next tour scheduled?
A: The next tour is scheduled for Sunday, April 28. (Meeting place and time
TBA, but likely to be in the early afternoon, and at a location relatively
free from traffic, not to mention tour buses blocking the road).
Q: What if I can't make it on Sunday?
A: Please write to us (Will Steeves, goid@i.......; Lynne Ackerman,
gnbv32c@p.......; Marg Yamanaka, zezq01a@p.......) and tell us that
you'd prefer Saturday afternoon. A number of people have already expressed an
interest in Saturday afternoon (ie., they're going home on Sunday), so it's
almost a certainty, although this may be subject to the availability of
additional cars if there are more than four people requesting Saturday. Vicky
Bratton has been kind enough to volunteer her car for tour guests, but it
would be patently unfair to expect her to volunteer her car for _two_ days in
a row (hint: we're really looking for someone to volunteer a car for the
Saturday tour).
Q: Who is scheduled to attend?
A: The following are tentatively scheduled: (those who have stated a
preference for Saturday are marked with a star).
- Vicky Bratton
- Cindy Zeuli & Kelly
- (*) Lynn Messing
- Susan Honig
- Teresa Kabourek & As-Yet-Unnamed-Baby :-)
- Carrie Krumtum
- Ron "The Enforcer" Katz
- (*) Beth Brown
- (*) Hilary Doda
- (*) Jillian Isenberg
...and with Will driving one car, and Lynne guiding the other driver
(following Will, conceivably), that makes 13.... Hmmm....
If anyone wishes to switch to Saturday, or from Saturday to Sunday, please
write back a.s.a.p.
Q: What sites will be covered?
A: Several weeks ago, Marg Yamanaka posted a Filming Sites Map that was worked
on by Marg, Lynne, and Will. Either Marg or Will will translate that into a
set of directions for the tour. Note that not all of the sites will be
covered (eg: the nursery in Only the Lonely, while likely a Natpacker shrine,
is about an hour northwest of downtown; another location, Morningside Park,
while only a hop, skip, and jump from Will's residence, is 45 minutes
northeast of downtown).
Q: Is it still too late to come along?
A: Not at all...if you're interested, please write to us and we'll see what we
can do. Remember that your chances (at least for Saturday) will be improved,
if someone is able to donate a second car.
Finally.....THANKS AGAIN TO VICKY BRATTON FOR KINDLY VOLUNTEERING HER CAR!
Cheers,
Will aka "Grandfather", a Perky Cousin (ducking flames from Allison :-) ),
Part time FoD Squad member, Founder, Designated Driver, and Spiritual Leader
of the Toronto Tour Guides Faction. (see above).

Subject: Lacroix--Gotta love 'em
I agree that
1) Lacroix is dad who can't seem to let his little one "go" (I have parents
like this) and feels he must control Nick in order to protect him
2) Lacroix is selfish, manipulative and basically evil
3)Despite Lacroix' delusion that he is in control, Nick is really in control
because Lacroix' actions stem from his desire for Nick
4) Lacroix may or may have not been in love with Fleur but he is capable of
love.
Lacroix in summary: He is a man w/o belief in God. Being a cognitive,
logical and rational person (ah, if I could make love to his mind I would)
after 2000 years he has reached a logical/rational conclusion about life:
that the only "right" is being true to your nature (Shakespeare once said
"To thy ownself be true") and the only "wrong" is violating this nature.
In fact, this very ideology is the very premise of Satanism (Read the
Satanic Bible some time--it'll give ya the he-be ge-be's).
If it feels good, do it.
Lacroix is a paradox, though, because he really doesn't like feeling anything.
I think he is irked by his compassion for Nick more than anything else.
If he could be Mr. Spock, he would.
However, Lacroix IS partly human. And he seeks Nick's love against
his own will. I also believe that Lacroix CAN love, but tries his damnest
not to--because love makes him weak.
I think that if the right girl came along with the tools to destroy the fortress
he has built around his soul that he could fall head-over-heels and become
the little lost puppy (like he was with Fleur).
IF he didn't love her, why "Rosebud"?

After reading all the rave reviews
envy got the better of me--I broke
down and bought a CD player.
Now I've got one problem. Since I
didn't <have> a CD player I deleted
all the information on ordering the
CD. Would some kind soul please
send me the information on
mailordering it since its not likely
anyone in Boise, Idaho is going to

Thanks in advance.

I think that maybe, when the show started, TPTB were trying to have vampires
being the *only* fantasy/supernatural/whatever element in it. After all, it
seems that vampires can be scientifically explained: it's a weird vampire
virus. However, one cannot say the same about ghosts, at least not in the FK
universe. (For instance, I accept Nick being a vampire but think that the
two times he saw ghosts, he was hearing what he wanted to hear - just MHO,
and not the issue.)
This reminds me of the premise for "Beauty and the Beast". Vincent was the
only fantasy character allowed. TPTB for that show turned down pitches for
Vincent meeting werewolves and things like that. The episode that *did* have
a ghost in it had to be rewritten to be ambiguous so that people could also
believe the guy wasn't a ghost. The same goes in the Highlander universe.
The only strange thing in that universe is the existence of Immortals.
I think that maybe we are dealing with suspension of disbelief. I'm willing
to accept vampires in FK. But if they started bringing in werewolves, aliens
and things, it would put me clean off. I would never have watched B&B again
if Vincent *had* met a werewolf. And people on the Highlander list sometimes
complain when TPTB bring in other supernatural concepts like Dark
Quickenings and holy springs.
So perhaps it's the same for Nat. She believes in vampires because she has
evidence that vampirism is caused by an odd virus. How is she going to get
evidence of ghosts or demon possession? (Do I think Nick was possessed? Yes.
Did he see ghosts? No. Is this consistent? No. Do I care? Not really.)

I just thought anyone who gets the station Bravo would like to know that
Nigel is scheduled to be in this:
The Star Turn: Nigel Bennett and Joe-Norman Shaw star as a
couple of British paparazzi staking out an elusive celebrity.
It airs at 7:30 pm EST, and is rerun at 3:30 am, and 11:30 am EST, that
night and the next morning. It is only a half hour, but I don't know if
this was a series or what.

Hi! A couple of questions, if you don't mind. As being new to this
listserve and Forever Knight, I am confused. I have to admit that I have
never seen FK because I can't find it out here, but I do have a friend
that will be mailing me some copies. But when I read the postings I get
different views. Is Lacroix a good Vampyre or bad? Does Nick kill and
drink human blood?
Please let me know. I have really enjoyed being apart of this
listserve. Everyone has been so helpful. A big kudos to Lisa, she has
always answered my questions. Thanx for beening patient with me.

Bobbi writes:<< Just thought it would be interesting to list our top five or
so songs, that remind us of FK and/or FK characters.>>
Seems like every song I hear has something FK or vampire related in it!
Maybe I just have vampire on the brain? Here are my picks:
1. "Halo" -DePeche Mode- "You wear guilt like shackles on your feet/Like a
Haol in reverse..." Definitely a Nick song.
2. "Terrible Lie"-Nine Inch Nails "You made me throw it all away/My morals
left to decay/So many you betray/You've taken everything/<snip>I'm on my
hands and knees/I want so much to believe.." I can definitely see Nick
shrieking this whole song at LC. Very angsty.
3. "Hands of Death"-X-Files Soundtrack-"Sadistic, wicked one...." Good LC
song.
4. ""Why Should I Cry For You"-Sting- "What would it mean to say, that 'I
loved you in my fashion'?/What would be true?/Why should I?" Nick and Nat
song.
5. "Guilty"-Gravity Kills-another angsty Nick song
Then you have the standard Vamp songs:
"Bloodletting"-Concrete Blonde
"Waiting For the Night to Fall" DePeche Mode
"As Heaven Is Wide"-Garbage
"Moon Over Bourbon St." and "Sister Moon"-Sting
"Dead Man's Party" -Oingo Boingo
"Possum Kingdom"-The Toadies
"Bite The Hand That Feeds" -Agent Orange
"Bela Lugosi's Dead"-Bauhaus
Those are just off the top of my head, I could probably list a hundred more
but I will spare you!
