Oh, so that's where the work "filk" comes from. I always
wondered about it too. Thanks Megan, for letting us know.
That was certainly interesting.

Subject: Schanke namesake

In order to see if it would be a suitable gift for a certain
relative, I recently read _The Cat Who Covered the World_ by
Christopher Wren.  Wren was a
correspondent for the NY Times who spent years and years living abroad with
his family and their cat, Henrietta.  A truly delightful book.  It took my
mind far, far away from all my petty little problems and even from FK.  Imagine
my surprise when, on page 82, I found a reference to Wren's friend
*Don Schanche*, a writer for the Los Angeles Times!  If it had been
"John Schanche" or "Lon Schanche" or "Von Schanche", I wouldn't even
ask.  I'd just
chalk it up to coincidence.  But *Don* Schanche????  In *Los Angeles*?  Could
this man be one of Parriott's friends, as well?

My apologies if someone has mentioned this already and I missed it.

Captain Cohen and Schanke were both killed aboard
the bombed airplane while escorting a prisoner to
Ottawa.

<<I only caught the tail end of BB 2 yesterday, and it was hard to watch
for so many reasons. Show-wise because of the loss of Schanke.
Life-wise, because seeing the Inca exploding in the sky called up the
memory of the first explosion in BB, that of the jet, and I found that
the episode resonates in whole new ways after 9-11. Did anybody else
find it painful to watch?>>

Yes.  I hated it.  Schanke and Nick were a great team.  As much as I
like Tracy, it wasn't the same without Schanke.  They should have made
him Captain.

I agree.  For the first time I really heard Nick mention the IRA and
Hezbollah, and it took on a whole new meaning.

By the way, my understand is they DID want to make him captain, but John
Kapelos (the actor) didn't want to go that route and quit. He would have been
a great captain, but I have a soft spot for Cpt. Reese (read my virtual
fourth season stories).

I haven't watched my tape yet, but I plan to later.  I totally agree -- Schanke
would make a great police captain.

Subject: Re: BB-Loss of Schanke

I'm glad someone else mentioned this too, because I
always thought of Black Budah as one of my least favorite
episodes. The whole first part seemed like a device to
explain why our favorite characters were not going to be
in the rest of the show, and the second part was to
establish that Vachon and Tracy had a romantic thing
going on, neither of which really worked for me.

But I was lucky to watch it after I already knew about
the third season so it wasn't too much of a hit in the
head. Still, losing Schanke was only one of the many
problems I had with this episode.

Subject: Re: BB-Loss of Schanke

For me BB would have been much easier to take if we'd seen Schanke and the
Captain in the ep, even if it was only them getting ready to get on the
airplane. It just seems to me that saying goodbye would have been easier,
and the effect less of a slap in the face to their fans. I was never a huge
Schanke fan, but this seemed needlessly cruel.

Maybe they were just practicing for "Last Knight."  :-p

Subject: Re: BB- After 9/11

I just finished watching my tape.  I realize the episode was filmed years ago,
but LaCroix's lines at the very end of the episode are really kind of eerie to
listen to now, almost like foreshadowing, in a way.  Kind of spooky.

I'm really looking forward to watching season 3.  Haven't seen it in a while.
