Uh-oh, m'brain is stuck.  When would Nick have died in season one by an
enemy's or Enforcer's hand?  I do remember that he faced down a few
Enforcers in UTV, but he seemed to come through that on his own.
LaCroix (seen spelled with capital "C" in the scripts, so I've always
assumed that's correct), being "dead" at the time, didn't seem to
affect that outcome.  In fact, since LC tends to get Nick into trouble
more often than he gets him out of it, Nick might have been safer,
relatively speaking. <G>

But it's still a Good Thing <tm>, I think, that LC returned in season
two.  More drama, doncha know.
And besides, I notice that PBS is running a special on the theory of
the dark ages being caused by a natural catastrophe -- an idea I've
read about in the past with great interest.
Wouldn't it be nice to have LC around and be able to ask if such a
thing were actually true?

So, what else would you ask LC -- or Nick or Janette, for that matter -- if
you had the chance?

>>I'm not feeling clever today, so here are the rules. McLisa

Really?  Well, are some rule starter-off possiblilities:

1.  When in the course of Vampiric events it becomes necessary to Enforce
the Code...
2.  Won't you come home, Nick Mon-Fils, won't you come home---I know I've
done you wrong...
3.  Rules!  We don't need no stink'n Rules!  (unless'n Listmommy says so..)
4.  Call me, Natalie...(Captain de Brabant and the Great White-Haired
Vampire)
5.  I-- have a Flashback...
6.  If Sargeant Schanke Scarfed a Score of Skimpy Skittles,
       How Many Skittles Did Sargeant Schanke Scarf?
7.  Four score, and 700-odd Years Ago...
8.  Mine eyes have felt the Glare  that is the coming of the Knight!  Nick
has on that Evil Pink Shirt that was burning oh so Bright.  Oh, be quick and
grab your solar shades to spare you from the sight!  And get me some Rit
Dye!

To LaCroix :  "Where did you get the sword pin, and do you have a copy for
sell?!
To Nicholas:  "Why'd you dream of LaCroix's squeaky toy catepillar in
Curiouser & Curiouser?"
To Janette:     "Do you really have more dresses than Imelda Marcos had
shoes?"
To Natalie:     "Why are you passing your shake recipes on to my dad?"

Ah...but what was going on behind the scenes?
Sure, old Smuggier Than Thou caused a heap of trouble (and I may never
forgive him for beating up Nick let alone that Raliegh incident), but just
the fact that LC is Nick's master must have deterred a lot of hostile
vampires from Nick's solitary path.  I'm sure there are vampire bullies just
as there are mortal ones who like to prey on the weak and isolated.  And
drinking cow's blood was considered a weakness.
Nick survived his two encounters with the Enforcers by first LaCroix's
smooth talking and second by the destruction of the video tapes and
whammying the idiot woman.  ( I ferget her name--who was that idiot woman o'
the week?)  In both instances, it kinda looked like a near thing.  Fang and
Curly sure looked eager to try out their choppers on our boy.

In the scripts I have copies of, the 'c' is lower case when he is being
spoken of or to.  When the name is used to indicate he is speaking, it is
all capitals.  And it seems to be spelled with upper and lower pretty
evenly in other situations, so one doesn't seem to be "more correct," at
least not at this point.  Depending on when Lucius adopted the name
Lacroix, what with the evolution of modern handwriting from Roman
lettering, it's possible he first started writing it with *all* capitals.
Personally, as a lazy fanfic writer, I prefer not having to use two fingers
to produce a capital 'c' in the middle of his name. <g>

Season one?  Clearly there were no "on-screen" rescues in modern day
Toronto.  That Crawler guy had apparently crawled off to lick his extensive
wounds. <g> However, there's always this back of the brain nagging question
of what's keeping the Enforcers off Nick's back while he engages so
intimately with the mortal world.  In Night in Question, we see quite
clearly the vulnerability of a vampire trying to "pass" as a mortal.
Suppose Nat and Lacroix hadn't been there to bail him out at the hospital?
That could have gone quite awry.  And it's no secret in the vamp community
(as per Unreality TV) that he's working as a cop.  They may not know he's
seeking a cure (then again, they might), but there has to be a
consciousness that he's putting the secret of their existence at risk of
exposure with his actions.  Why do the let him do that?  I can't believe
it's out of a spirit of "Live and let live." <g> Some behind the scenes
string pulling?  And who's going to have the wherewithal to do that?  Not
the Knight, I don't think.  Looks like that Crawler guy crawls back into
the picture. <g>

Well, as Janette asserts, Lacroix was never one to allow his life to become
boring.  I suppose he feels it his duty to keep Nick's interesting as well.

Good grief, I don't think I could think of just one question.  I'd be like
the Spanish Inquisition all over again. <g>

Subject: The Triple TPTB Feedback Blitz! Day 2!

Hi everyone!

        It is DAY 2 of the Triple TPTB Feedback Blitz! It is time to once again
show just how much you want more of the Knight! Except rember this time we
are not stopping with just Sci-fi. This time out, we are blitzing Sci-Fi,
USA NETWORKS and Columbia Tristar! Its a triple dose of e-mails from each of
you the fans that would love to not only have FK back on Sci-fi's schedule,
but want to make sure everyone knows that we are want more FK with the
original cast in new eps and or movies!!

        So, what do you say? Are you ready to sit down, take that few minutes
and send off three e-mails? It could make all the difference in the world!

So, say a little or say a lot, but say it!! We can make more FK happen!!!

        Every day, *May 15th, through May 22nd*, we are asking everyone to blitz
all three feedbacks!!! You can re-use the e-mails you did before, or write
new ones. They can be long, or as short as just saying, "Bring Back Forever
Knight."

        Here's the addresses PLUS the 4th one which is where you can also write
for FK on video!

--------------------------------------------
Sci-Fi's E-mail: feedback@w....... feedback@w.......

Sony/Tristar Mail Form: http://www.spe.sony.com/spe/help_feedback_index.html

USA's E-mail: shows@u.......

Subject: Got Blood?

The vampires here at work got to me...  aaarrrhhhh!!!!!

I'm a pint lower than I was a few hours ago, but got a great t-shirt in return.
It's black, with big red letters that say,

                  got blood?

and then of course in little white letters is says, "baxter blood drive, 2000"

I managed to fill my bag in 6 minutes...   :-)  (the average is 10+ min for most
people)  I'd be a vampire's dream!

BTW - any of you that can donate blood, GET OUT THERE AND DO IT!!!!  You never
know WHO might need that blood!  You could be helping a friend, a relative, or
some wayward vampire. <g>

And something a lot of you might not be aware of is Platelet donations.
Platelet donations take about 2 hours, and what happens is that your blood is
run through an apherisis machine, where the platelets are filtered out and saved
and the rest of your blood is returned to you.  It's totally safe and sterile,
and I've heard that most centers have it set up so that you can watch a movie,
etc. while you wait.  (Or, you can sleep if you want...)  The platelets  are
then used to help patients suffering from cancer, leukemia, anemia, and other
diseases, as well as assisting in blood clotting after surgery.  Ask your local
blood bank for more information.  You can donate both platelets and whole blood
if you're healthy.

There's also Plasma donations, which works similar to Platelet donation.  Again,
ask your local blood bank for more details.

Sorry McLisa... I only meant to tell about the neat shirt, but couldn't resist a
push for everyone to donate if they can!

WRITE to these people!  I did and got a real - yes REAL - person write back
to me for more information.  Not one of the 'form letters' that the other
sites send out.  Who knows, they may actually listen to us!
