Not UPN as a whole; in Tulsa, DS9 is being shown on Sundays
by the local CBS station.

But in the Cleveland area, WUAB-TV (UPN) has always been the
station for science fiction/fantasy.  They were the ones to show
FK while it was in syndication, as well as Highlander, Babylon 5,
and all the Star Treks (from the original to Voyager).

Yes, we got HL at 11:00p on Saturdays and FK at 1:30a on Mondays.

1:30 am?  Ouch.  Good thing VCRs were invented.
I seem to remember FK reruns being on at about 11 pm five years ago or so on a
local network.  I used to stay up late and watch them when I came home from
college.

You know you've been reading too much fanfic when you get a spam e-mail about
garlic juice for plants and can't help but think of vampires.  (and the
vampire plant Spike from someone's fic!) <g>

Nick drinks the whiskey laced with curare given to him by the bounty hunter
in 'The Code,' and he's certainly affected, though not to the degree a mortal
would be, i.e., killed. That's one instance in favor of FK vamps experiencing
drug effects, and it doesn't require blood consumption.

I can't remember the details of this facet of 'Faithful Followers,' and I should
since it's the Thomas episode, but doesn't Nick mention there was
a drug in those patches the luminology cult used? I remember that he said he
could detect it, whereas mortals couldn't, but I don't remember what he said
about feeling the effects of the drug.

Anyway, I think it's safe to say FK vampires would be affected by whatever the
blood is laced with, but perhaps not to the degree a non-vampire would be.

It depends a lot on which direction you are coming from, but about
30-45 minutes would be about right, unless it's rush hour, in which
case it's anyone's guess. <g>

He says in the tag that it made him queasy, but that's the only side effect I
can remember him mentioning.

>>#5-- are any of these considered 'endangered' in Canada-- the wolf, cougar,
bobcat, & lynx?<<

For a complete list of Canadian endangered & threatened species, go to the
Canadian Nature Federation's website (www.cnf.ca) and follow the links to
"Endangered Species" or "COSEWIC" (I forget which). The short answer, is, I
don't think any of them are endangered; some populations of wolf and cougar
may be threatened, though. Also, we still don't have effective endangered
species protection in Canada like you folks do in the U.S.; the CNF website
will fill you in on the details of that.

>>#6--
   a) if the 'blood donor' had recently been drugged  or medicated, or had
taken drugs or drank wine, beer, etc-- would FK vamps also have/experience
the effects of the medication, etc-- both good and bad effects/ (I believe
in VTM the vamps do get some kind of effects if the 'blood donor' is a drug
addict-- even to the point of a vamp becoming addicted to the blood of drug
addicts-- so I'm not off-the wall here in considering our FK vamps being
affected, am I?<<

I think the vampire's fast-healing metabolism would quickly dispose of any
drug contamination, whether it was through blood or directly induced. I
remember Nick in Faithful Followers, being nauseated by a drug that caused
mortals to become suggestible, and saying that ordinarily drugs don't
affect him. But then there was that strychnine injection in Near Death...
and the curare in The Code. I guess the rule of thumb would be, if a drug
_does_ affect an FK vamp, it will be different from the way it would affect
a mortal.

I definitely think that the vamps would do *something*.  After all, if the
mortals go around killing themselves (which we do a great job of anyways) on
a large scale, what are they going to do for food?  Not all can stomach cow
like Nicholas....

There would be some difficulty in getting as organized as the vampires in
Ultraviolet though.  I don't see Lacroix joing a group for the "better
good".  It's too much against his nature I think.

I found these three old messages from Nigel in my "save" folder.
The middle one refers to a list command that went awry and set
many listmembers "nomail" unintentionally (including Nigel).
The other two seem to be referring to events before I joined
the list.

I have to reply to the comments that are being made about Tracy and BtK.
Firstly, at no time did I stomp on Tracy's badge.
Secondly, any comments regarding Tracy were about Tracy, not Lisa Ryder, I can
tell the difference between the two, and were a reflection of the general list
feeling about that character. Has everyone forgotten the comments that were made
by members of the list during the airing of the third season? Almost unanimously
Tracy was disliked. Don't turn around now and say, "We didn't mean it."

That's the same back room where Alma takes Schanke.

In the Washington, D.C., area, FK was shown on USA (cable) and on the WB
channel -- which now, of course, is home to Buffy and Angel.

Before I moved from the DC area, I remember watching FK at around 11:30 or so
on Sunday nights, on the local ABC affiliate for a while, then it moved to
USA.
