Subject:      Re: The NEW Question!! Tia talkin'

Hi Everybody!!

  I got many good answers!   To  those who took the time to give a good
answer I thank deeply! I also would like to thank the FORKNI list.

This is an answer I agree with the most.
(This is just one of the many good answers.):

>>Considering that Nick has spend at least the last 6 years trying to regain
his humanity, I would think at first the answer would be no. However, knowing
that he also has spent the last 100 years or so, doing what he considers
atonement for his evil deeds as a vampire, and knowing (or thinking) how much
being mortal and with Nat again means to him, I would say yes. This is such a
complicated issue! I think if it was someone evil he would kill, by all means
he would go for it, if it was an innocent bystander on the  other hand, he may
have to weigh the facts along with what would bear down on his conscience.>>

I thank everyone who has partcipated!!  Today I will post the new question,
since
family is coming and I won't have time later.

The question is:

IF NICK DIED, DO YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE DONE ENOUGH ATONEMENT TO
                                                 GO TO HEAVEN?

Subject:      Bad Blood

If "Bad Blood" is the episode with the vampire hunter, then what's the
episode with Jack the Ripper?  I thought he was in "Bad Blood," and the
title was from what LC thought of his blood... really!  Don't laugh at
me.... :-) So if BB is the one with the vampire hunter, why is it called
Bad Blood (assuming that it's not like LNMTA, which, imho, still wins for
Worst and Most Irrelevant Title)?

I thought folks might want to see what the episode's director, Jon
Cassar, had to say about this little dance.  This was at the AOL "Remote
Control" chat with Jon Cassar (sorry, I forgot the date).  Marcia Tucker
(TVV Marci) was passing questions on to Jon.

----begin tidbit----

TVV Marci:      This is from Allie again - and I might add here that
Dying for Fame was Jon's first directing effort!  Also my favorite ep!
"Not really a question, just wanted to say I loved the part where Nick
imagines himself on stage as a rock star, vamping out & floating above
the crowd.  :^)  You really did a great job of capturing Nick's sense of
alienation in that episode.  Also, whose idea was it to have Nick spin
around & throw his arm in the air at the end to celebrate his success in
helping Rebecca?  Yours?"

CASSAR7DIR:     At first I was very disappointed, because I loved the
flashback part of the show and I got the first show without one, but it
turned out ok; that final moment is GWD at his best.

Carrie400:      YES!!!

Iremi:          figures

TVV Marci:      So that was Ger's idea?  It was so good!

AlliePercy:     Heh, heh... GWD's idea to do the celebration dance!!

CASSAR7DIR:     Thats what a great actor can bring to part.

----end tidbit----

Jon Cassar's direction of "Dying for Fame" was absolutely fantastic,
IMO.  *Especially* considering that this was his first time at the job.
:^)

I almost NEVER write to anyone concerning some comment they've made on the

You should hear the HL list people talk about the cartoon<g> and

And, independently, Cousin Alanna Patrick and i had these private

Or maybe one of us mentioned it and *then* we started talking off-list...

Dear, dear. i s'pect this sort of "History of the Thong" is just to rest up
our brains for the War? Heated arguments on whether Nick owes Nat amorous

Actually, her in the states anyway, it wouldn't be that unheard of. The

I'd just like to remind everybody that when you get a private message,
nobody knows about it but you and the sender.  So if I read a post that
I think probably deserves a private reply -- A SINGLE private reply, I
have no way of knowing whether or not anyone has sent one yet.

So I'm sure that nobody INTENDS to flood anybody with messages -- and if
they're not NICE messages, they're doing it wrong.

In LA, Nick tells us that he did a short stint in the circus! I do
indeed think he could do comedy. It takes a special kind of person to do
a clown. I think that Nick would be a natural at it. He has the perfect
dead pan delivery when he ribs Schanke and Tracy. Remember that

My .02 to this theme:

I remember seeing GWD's name advertised for headlining in plays in Toronto
around mid-to late 1980's in a Toronto Arts & Entertainment paper.  I never
went to any of the plays and I don't remember any titles.  They may have been
the products of "fringe"-type playwrites.  I never remember seeing any
pictures of him, just his eye-catching name.  When I first saw the credits
of FK, I recognized his name.

You're discussing a particularly unpleasant female manager with two of
your coworkers, saying how nobody likes her, when one of your coworkers
says that the woman's horse bit her and that animals can sense evil in
people.  I immediately thought of that episode (whose name totally
escapes me at the moment) in which the flashback has Nick getting
treatments from a doctor whose singer fiancee' is stomped on by a horse
when Nick spooks it.

Don't worry, Knighties, I'm not saying that Nick is evil, just that the
episode (Good God, what *is* the name of that darn thing?) implied
that the horse was spooked by the vampire in him.

Subject:      FK CD and Radio

There is only one thing...

If you live in an area like I do, you may be surrounded by *only* Top 40
stations and country stations.  And the problem is not only that Top 40
stations "tend" to play only Top 40 songs, but for the most part, they *have*
to.  (I have a degree in radio and television, and I am working from what my
instructor has told me).  It's required.  The really top radio stations in
your market will most likely (not all of them, but a great many) work almost
exclusively from something called a playlist.

When a DJ comes in for a shift, s/he is _given_ their playlist for those
hours.  Every song and commercial s/he needs to play for that time frame is
laid out in black and white. Songs are laid out, in order, on "carts" (which
look like 8-track tapes) at the start of the hour (you know how you always
wondered how the DJ's don't have to pause for any period of time between
songs to get the right one?).  Each and every second is, if there are no
mixups, counted for in any given hour, and the DJ is not permitted to deviate
from that playlist one whit (it's considered a 'firing offense', depending on
the whim of the management, if a rogue DJ just goes off and plays whatever
s/he wants to.  That's supposed to be how a young Rush Limbaugh got fired
from a DJ job).

Of course, that all goes out the window if you do, as Lisa Patnaude did, find
a radio station who takes request and dedications of songs that the station
does not have.  So, a question you should at least keep in mind is, "Are
there some hours or portions of the station day during which the DJs are
allowed some discretionary choice in music, or do they work exclusively from
a preset playlist?"

Then just go crazy <G>.  Just didn't want anyone spending valuable money
sending CD's to their top market station, only to find out that they can't
play it.

Of course, if you have money to burn, you might want to do a blind mailing of
radio stations anyway, just to see if any one of the people working there
takes a fancy to it ;)  And there are always college radio stations, who very
often have no restrictions on their time or selections.

Oh, and as far as I know, there are no prohibitions of any kind on listeners
giving CDs or tapes to their music stations.  After all, that's how some
bands got their songs played on the air--- by targetting an influential radio
station in the market.  If anyone is within striking distance of KROQ, for
example, in California;  they're currently considered the alternative music
vanguard, and if you can get KROQ to play it, it is all but assured that the
other stations will follow, like lemmings.  KROQ has reportedly "broken" a
not inconsiderable amount of new acts in the radio market.  (Of course, the
largest markets will also be the hardest to crack.  But hey, what's to lose.
 Maybe those who live in major-market cities like New York, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Chicago etc., want to pick one radio station in the area and try
to get the CD played there.  I can hear it now--- "Felicia, you wanna try and
crack KROQ?!?"  Well, not *exactly*--- but hey, you never know ;) )

Artist and Repertoire people from record companies also tour radio stations
to promote their brand-new signed acts, and drop off tapes/CDs.  Radio
station booths are awash in demos, both solicited and unsolicited.  As a
matter of fact, I heard one story about a singer whose first song went on to
break the Top Ten, and their friends/family in the NYC area had been beating
the A&R people into the radio stations and clubs with copies!    So, you
could just _pretend_ that you're the (un)official representative of Crescendo
Records <g>, and go undercover door-to-door and pass out the CD/tape to DJs.
 I expect they've (Crescendo) done the rounds of a few radio stations.  I
have no idea how large an outfit they are, or what kind of an A&R department
they have.

But hey, we've proven in the past that guts and sheer chutzpah can succeed,
even in places that were supposedly "closed".  I say, go for it!

If I've got anything wrong in the above explanation, I apologize, and I
expect anyone who knows better will thwack me <vbg>.
