Yes, I too was missing a lot of mail from the 19th. (Be glad this is

Subject: Re: SPOILERS: Good vs Evil, LK
I haven't really been following this discussion, so if I repeat what someone
else has said, I apologize, but:
IMHO, in the world of FK, there is good and evil, and they are clearly
defined in traditional Old Testament fashion. Why do I say this? Because we
are shown that no matter what good Nick does, or how bad he feels, he is
objectively evil in the eyes of God. He cannot touch a cross, and a
mysterious angel-like figure flatly tells him his soul is corrupt. This to
me is evidence that there are no grays, no black-and-whites in
_this_particular_universe_. So when Nick says he is evil, he is right.
Of course, nowadays most people aren't too crazy about the idea of an
absolute good and evil, and status offenses -- that is, transgressions
defined solely by your state of being -- were outlawed in America by the
Supreme Court in the '60s. So we like Nick precisely because as much of the
world of FK may exist in black and white, we in reality believe in shades of
gray.
Maybe some of the power of the show comes from the fact that the stories are
also presented to us in shades of gray -- many of Nick's dilemmas have no
"right" or "wrong" answers, yet he does exist in a world of harshly drawn
lines. So how can you survive in such a world, knowing that an absolute
morality exists, when half the time you can't judge which side a given action
falls on?
Well, that's my $02.

Subject: Survey of Episodes
Well, whenever there's a show with a following, someone's got to do this.
And maybe it was done very recently for FK (I've only been here for about a
week) in which case, someone tell me and I'll apologize and go home.
BUT, if it hasn't been done yet, I think it's about time for the
FAVORITE EPISODE SURVEY!
Yes, I am volunteering to collect the ballots.
Please tell me:
1) Your favourite episode in each of the three seasons. One ep per season
please, and two-parters, we will say, count as one.
2) Your least favourite episode of the series (one ep only)
3) Reasons for your choices.
I'm considering July 1st the last day of balloting, so have your answers to
me by then. I'll post results and any interesting comments people send me.
If you have a friend whose a fan but has no access to email, you may send me
their choices.
So vote early, and vote often (just kidding, of course -- one ballot to a
customer.)

From: Dalton Spence <dalton.spence@f.......>
Subject: Re: Ger and the new series
What I would like to see . . .
Ger is a scout of an alien infiltration force who comes to identify too
much with the people of the planet his world is planning to subjugate
(for its own good, of course). After an accident reveals his true nature
to a curious neighbor (he is a "blue blood"; pastel actually), he is on
the run from both his own people (whose plans he thwarts as his tries to
protect the humans he has come to admire) and a shadowy government org-
anization which he refuses to aid directly (since that might bring harm
to his former comrades, who would massively retaliate). He is secretly
aided by hidden sympathizers on both sides, and by friends gathered
along the way.
He has no special powers (except the ability to recognize his own, and
some advanced technical knowledge) but as a scout he prepared several
secret caches of equipment and supplies to be used in an emergency. He
can also spot the caches of other scouts, but they can spot his as well.
Fortunately, for security reasons, there is no central registry of
caches and scouts are notoriously paranoid about revealing their loca-
tion to anybody.
There is a victory condition for Ger's character. By his homeworld's own
laws, if the political and social structure of a planet meets certain
minimum standards, it cannot be dealt with as an immature culture, but
as an equal. Because a mature culture is one to be respected, the infil-
tration effort would stop immediately.

I figure most people will be deleting this one unread as Screed is not

I'm sitting here taping X-Files for my boyfriend and a Pizza Hut

the commercial. I freaked out my r-mate 'cause I yelled "Hey, that's
Screed!" and then had to tell him who Screed is. :-)

Subject: Nick is Alive!
I have absolute proof that Nick survived "Last Knight!" In the mail
today I received a bulletin from the British Philatelic Bureau
("In-Phil," July '96, No. 139). Under the section entitled "Olympics
'96," I quote:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To celebrate the centenary of the modern Olympic Games, Royal Mail will
issue a se tenent strip of five 26p stamps on 9 July 1996. The stanmps
represent various sportsmen and women in action and carry the words:
Olympic & Paralympic Teams 1996.
The stamps, designed by Nick Knight, are horizontal in format (41mm x
30 mm) and are printed by The House of Questa in offset lithography.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So Nick pulled up stakes :) and moved to England. I guess he
decided that designing postage stamps was less stressful than being a
cop. Would anyone care to discuss the merits of a vampire postage
stamp designer? So far the only thing I can think of is using fangs to
perforate the stamps!

Subject: Re: Nick and Horses
Well, I don't train wild mustangs like someone said, actually they are
Paint show horses. Youngsters can get a bit rambunctious at times, other
horses might spook, and there are a few that are just plain mean....they
usually don't last long. But a horse will run over another living thing,
sometimes they even aim....Ihave the x-rays to prove it and have been to
funerals from these screws too.
To get at least a little bit back on FK track:
Some horses spook up bad at the smell of blood, particularly studs. Mind
you, not ALL horses will react to the smell of blood, some won't react at
all. But there are a few that will either show stallion like behavior (like
"some" studs around a menstruating woman) squeeling, prancing, getting
excited, etc. Others will just spook at the smell of blood. (i.e.
hanging/cleaning deer too near barn) They will snort, get all wild eyed,
bolt if not stalled or tied, etc.
Maybe that is what happened to the horses on the show. They smelled blood
on Nick, maybe on his breath or something. Doesnt mean that BOTH horses
spooked, couldve just been the one that reared up at them. When that horse
bolted the other poor guy was tied in harness next to him so he had to run
too when his buddy took off.
Well, that's a theory anyway.....

2) I recently received a book entitled _The World on Blood_. I think
someone had mentioned this book on the list a while back. Well, anyway, it's
about this vampire named Nick who runs VA (Very or Vampires Anonymous) - a
twelve step program for giving up the red. In a paragraph on p.5, there's a
reference to our favorite blood source:
'In what Whistler hoped was a stab at humor, Selene had left his
half-pint in a creamer shaped like a cow...'
Worth reading just to see how much this author stole from FtB - and the

Subject: Missing Parts of Fiction....
Number one!
Going through my mail box, I appear to be missing part 33 of Cats
Eyes (by Henry ??) and part 7 of Breaking Dawn (by?? ah my aching brain.).
Did I bugger up and delete them, or did they not drop to the subscribers?
(and in either case, could someone send me them? --ever so grateful)
Number two!
I got my FK CD yesterday!!! I like it. Esp the quotes by Lacroix.
the mailer insert I got from GNP said there is a show tunes CD coming
out, and there will be a selection (or more, I pray) from FK. Kewlness.
Number three! (a bit off topic... reply privately please)
How do I say vampire in Gaelic? Scottish Gaelic, not Irish.
Manx would be ideal, but since it is officially extinct, I am not holding
my breath. i am mortal, after all. or, if there is no word for vampire,
is there related fiction in Celtic/Welsh/Gaelic/Pictish... mythology?
Tapadh Leat! (Thanks!)
-Dvixen, who cannot type this night, due to film cuts (from 35mm film,
like paper cuts, but cleaner and harder to heal!) on the inner side of the
base of three of my fingers.
I really hate it when cameras get hungry and chew the film edges to s*it.

Subject: Re: A question of holy symbols
My personal view on the subject of which holy objects affect the
vampire is as follows. I believe that any object that a person used as a
holy thing or symbol would be objectionable to a vampire. Example: the
knife set in Blackwing. I think that all religious things would hurt them,
not just ones from certain faiths.

Subject: *JOSTA (YKYB...?)*
I have an interesting new drink to recommend to you folks,
if only for the FK allusions. It's....JOSTA! A new soft drink
hubby picked up at the store today. I quote from the label:
"JOSTA with GUARANA & other natural flavors. GUARANA grows DEEP
within the jungle. For centuries, ancient tribes believed that
GUARANA released RAW, PRIMAL POWER. Now the legend of GUARANA has
been captured in the potent flavor of JOSTA. UNLEASH IT."
(All capitalization on label.)
The pop is a *deep* *blood* red and has a fruity taste (UF?). But I
died laughing when Bruce read on the bottle, "Devour by (yes, that's
what it says...DEVOUR :) ): Sep1696. MMMMMMmmmmmmm.... Can this
be a product of LC's plantations? ;) There's a black panther on
the label so maybe Janette's gone into a new line? Of course, I
know they mean Sept. 16 '96 as the "Devour by" date, but it don't
have that little ' in between the 6 and the 9.
So, anybody for some RAW, PRIMAL POWER? ;)
Sandra, forever Knightie

I think I'm lost :) . You've already stated that you, as an N&Ner, believe
Nat is meant to be Nick's lover.... but he isn't allowed to kiss her in this
scene in "the Fix" in order to attempt to clue her in to his alleged amorous
intentions, because it would be trespassing on Nick's own particular code of
chivalry? So how, according to the rules of this peculiar mating dance <G>,
is she supposed to _get_ to be his lover in the near or far future? Somebody
toss me a life raft, I'm getting myself all snarled up thinking ;)
If this is part of the "Nick is feeling more than gratitude towards Nat"
argument: then how would one explain that Nick's courtly, old-world manners
didn't at any point stop him from jumping into the spirit plane, so to speak,
with Marian Blackwing (this thread started with her, I think, once upon a
time, yes? <G>) barely 24 hours after he'd first met her? "Taking
liberties"? "The age he comes from"? IMO, Nick is a veritable Casanova. Who
here would characterize Nick as _shy_ when it comes to the issue of getting
some? What about the anonymous female vamp whose neck Nick nearly tore out
in the Raven back room in "Feeding the Beast", minutes after having met her?
I don't think of Nick as particularly the holding-back type. When at the
same time, Nick had known Nat at this time for about three years' JP time, to
boot? He's on more "comfortable" terms with the two aforementioned
near-stranger females, it seems to me.
Now of course, someone is going to say in response to this, "But Nick really
*loves* Nat, while all those other women are to him are just cures, sex,
fellow vampires who understand, and/or bloodletting". But *that* just brings
us back full circle to the original argument, and doesn't prove anything.
And we'll all get really really tired out. And my head will hurt }:-(

Subject: FK actors in other things
Yes, Greg Kramer is in the pizza ad. He plays a biker gang member.
The ad is to let people know about the new stuffed crust pizza, and
when the delivery man brings the pizza to the gang's clubhouse, they
make him taste it to demonstrate what the stuffed crust is like. I
don't think Greg has any lines per se (or maybe one at the most), but
he's instantly recognizable.
Gary Farmer has a new movie out, it's called "Dead Man", and it also
stars Johnny Depp, Lance Henriksen, Michael Wincott, Crispin Glover,
Iggy Pop, Gabriel Byrne, John Hurt, Alfred Molina and Robert Mitchum.
The writer and director is Jim Jarmusch. Music by Neil Young. The
movie got pretty good reviews, and Gary Farmer gets second billing!
