God bless!  I sat there for the whole show, thinking, "Gee, that guy looks
familiar" and never made the connection.  Guess I'd better pay more
attention to the guest stars next time.  I'd love to see them bring the
character back.

To keep this somewhat on topic here, has anyone done a FK/SG1
cross-over?  Based on the flashbacks in AtA, Lacroix & Divia spent time in
Egypt, right?  Maybe Divia got a goa'uld and was then vamped ... boggles
the mind, it does.  The combination of goa'uld & vampiric regenerative
powers could help explain how she was able to come back ... oh gosh, I'm
just rambling here.  Maybe I should try to do something with this.  (Yeah,
I need another project to work on.  Sure.)

Subject: Personal/Family Name website needed

I've seen websites given for period costumes, but has anyone a website that
gives gives ethnic origins to first/last names?
I'm doing a fanfic, but don't know what nationality to give this vampire and
want to peruse some likely possibilites name wise.

Subject: Mythical character

Has anyone ever heard of a mythical warrior named Joran?
I ran across a sword named after same, and since that is the tentative name
I gave my fanfic vampire, I'd like to know more about this.  Maybe I can
work it in!

If you're referring to that sword on offer on Swords and Armor, it sounds made
up to me. The blurb contains next to no actual info, such as exactly what sword
it's based on, or what culture it comes out of. I wouldn't put any stock in it,
myself.

But hey, make up something! It's fiction, right? <g>

Subject: YKYBWTMFK...

...when you're reading the articles in the most recent TV Guide and come
across an article on "This Week in History" on the History channel. It says
"For a feature on the last day of Pompeii, TWIH portrayed the doomed city as
the Las Vegas of the ancient work, complete with graphic paintings on the
wall of its brothels that served as inspiration for less imaginative
customers".  And your first thoguht is "I don't remember seeing *those* in
Seline's place followed immediately by "but, of course, Lucius wouldn't need
anything like that!"  And then you wonder how the show would have explained
Divia and Lucius and their rather...unique method of surviving Vesuvius :-)

That sentence *did* convince me to watch the show, however :-)

No, you weren't imagining it.  Vachon was lying in bed at the end of Fever when
Nick comes in with the hypodermic.  As for the coffin, I'm not sure why he would
keep one around (or a wooden stake for that matter).  Based on the scene at the
end of Fever, I doubt that he actually slept in it.  Perhaps he did, at some
point in his life, sleep in a coffin and decided to keep it around in the event
that one day it might come in handy ... or maybe he keeps it for unexpected
guests <g>.

Or maybe it is something that Screed dug up looking for items for trading at
the swap meet and just couldn't resist a little decorating of his bud's abode.

Subject: When fandoms unite...  (I found an xover story in another archive)

Heh, here I am rooting through the Lois and Clark fanfiction archive without
a care in the world when BAM!  I see it.  There's a new FK/L&C Xover in the
Lois and Clark archive called Forever Superman.

http://lcfanfic.com/stories/2000/forevers.txt

It's an ok story, not stellar, but even so, I was pretty surprised.  X-Files
is a likely candidate, as is Highlander... but I think I've only run across
one other L&C Xover and it was really short, at that.  Anyway, I just
thought some of you might be interested.

Subject: Blitzing for the Knight! September

Hello everyone!

This is a reminder for you to participate in this month's blitz. See
addresses below...

This entire month we are focusing on the four powers that be, Tristar,
Sci-fi, TNT, and now CBS!

A lot of FK fans have wondered why we don't approach other networks about
possibly reviving the series. Well, we decided to include along with Sci-fi
and Tristar for this month a blitz to TNT along with CBS to test the
waters!!

E-mail: tnt@t.......
(and place in the subject line: "To The Attention Of The Vice-President of
Programming")

You also may call TNT's Viewer Comment and Question Line at (404) 885-4538,
however we ask that any phone calls be in addition to letters and e-mails.

For snail mail, send to:
Vice-President of Programming
TNT 1010 Techwood Drive, NW
Atlanta, GA 30318

CBS Mail Form: http://cbsnews.cbs.com/now/feedback/0,1611,412,00.html

For snail mail, send to:
Leslie Moonves
President,
CBS Entertainment
7800 Beverly Blvd.
Los Angeles,CA 90036

and...

CBS
51 West 52nd St.
New York, NY 10019

Its going to be a big 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
episodes 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!

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

For the "whole" month of September, we are asking everyone to blitz the
feedbacks!!! For the month, 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."

Important info to add in your letters: Sunday July 16, at 9:00 pm, ET/8:00
pm CT, SciFi aired a monthly program focussing on sci-fi movies and tv shows
that have become "cult" favorites among fans. The program's called
"SCIography", During this current blitz, we could ask that an upcoming
"SCIography" ep feature FK! So far, they plan to do eps on "Battlestar
Galactica", "Quantum Leap" and "Sliders", so asking them if they plan to do
a "SCIography" ep about FK can't hurt.

Also, Sci-Fi will be airing "Sci-Fi World", which is a 6 hour block of
sci-fi programs with a different theme each day. It's also possible to ask
them if FK will be a part of the "Sci-Fi World" programming block! So, be
sure to include these new ideas in the summer blitzes!

ALSO REMEMBER!! Sci-fi will be changing its schedule around again in the
fall.... lets make sure that we get Forever Knight on!!!

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

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

When e-mailing TriStar,(especially) give as much personal info as you
can...rather than just an e-mail name. A bit more personal carries more
weight with TPTB.

There's also a button, I made, which you can post on your websites to spread
the word about the blitzes. Have it link to my "save fk" page.

Long Live the Knight!

P.S. I'll be sending out weekly reminders on this list as I did last month
to make sure you keep on blitzing those powers that be! :)

I go with this reason.  Seems to me that Vachon had a pretty quirky sense
of humour -- which is one of the things I love about him!
