I wrote Soul of Redemption in which he regained his soul/humanity.  I can't
write the same story and the other stories have live and love as human again.
It's just so weird and it never changes except for we face each other no words.
Thanks for the input.  Stay safe.

Subject: Blu sighting

Wow!  Just bought Santa Claus 2, and scared the heck out of my
5-year-old by jumping up in the middle of the movie and yelling for my
husband because I just saw Captain Reese!  Blu Mankuma is one of the
school faculty, the first one to get a Secret Santa gift.  I was also
racking my brains to try to figure out where I knew the Sandman's voice
from - it's Michael Dorn (needed to hit the credits to get the answer,
though).

We have these posters at work---what a hoot! I'm sure they're just
exactly what Nick would enjoy having around in order to be miserable.

Maybe it's because of the DVD's available now?

bwahahahaha! So that's where it came from!

I use that one for my desktop at work. I think LaCroix would have to agree
with it... particularly around the time of Fever's flashback or Salem's
witch hunts.

Can someone give me an example of a SIN number?  How many digits is it?  Just
numbers, or numbers and letters?  Thanks!

It is exactly 9 numeric characters.  It starts with a digit from 1 to 8
usually. Ones starting with 9 denote special status.  I think they're
assigned pretty much numerically though...my spouse is five years older than
me, and his SIN has the same first two digits, and mine has a third digit
that's 7 higher than his.

A common filler if the field is required, but the actual SIN is not would be
999 999 999

Actually his loft was mostly early 19th century with modern technology.  He was
brought across in the 13th century so may have that time period in there as
well.

I was thinking more in terms of what kind of piano the set designers of the
TV show used.  I dont think they went out and purchased an antique piano, but I
have been wrong before.

Sales of the DVD for the canceled show, The Family Guy, may return the show
to the air. This will be a first. It's a sign too, that DVD sales do in
fact matter.

        Interesting.
        Of courses, Family Guy is an animated series.  Much easier to resume
production on it.  Look at the continuation of the Looney Tunes
characters.
        I can't see FK returning to the airwaves (with original cast as a
series) but I could see strong DVD sales leading to Sci-Fi channel
interest in a 2 hour made for TV movie with say Nick and LaCroix as
holdover characters...
        Or - someone floating the concept of a continuation series, much as
Star Trek The Next Generation took the concept and wrapped new
characters into it....
                I've got a fan fiction partially laid out that may get written
one day to show how that could be done with only 1 actor from the old
series "necessary" (although, it would accommodate practically anyone
reappearing as at least a guest role).

Subject: Janette's age

  I know this has probably been discussed before, but I can't remember <a sign
of old age>.  Anyway, has Janette's age been determined at the time she was
brought across?  I know we figure Nick to be around 33-35.  I am working on a
fic for Janette and I am trying to get a better feel for her.  I would also be
interested in info on the 12 th century.  What a women's role was.  I know Janette
says that she was passed from father to husband, then servant if she failed to
bring an heir and then sold to the brothel if she was in the way of another
marriage.  I just want to get more details, and I can't seem to find what I am
looking for.  Does anyone have a site I can ck out or know of a book I can look
for?  Thank you very much, Phylis.

Subject: GWD on Highlander today

Just a headsup, Ger's Highlander ep, Turnabout airs
today. I really like this one...one of my favorite
actors, a TV show I'm totally hooked on...and he does
some really good acting going between the Michael
Moore and Quentin Barnes personalities. It's on TNN at
3pm/4pm Eastern and then again at 12am/1am Eastern.

Janette is from the 11th century. Nick's around 800, she's around 1,000
years old. (Her statement to Nick in Human Factor that "800 years is a long
time to live with a cold heard" is one of the inconsistencies on the "needs
cheese" list.)

You can't find what you want to back up her description of a woman's role
because it wasn't accurate. So you need to decide whether your fic is going
to follow true herstory (women's history) or fk-story.

I think either choice is fine, but I also think disclaimers should
recognize that fk-story is often wrong. (For example, if I were writing a
fiction dwelling on Queen of Harps, I'd mention in the disclaimer that QoH
is complete nonsense from an historical point of view.) There is too much
misinformation about real history floating around out there already !

Janette actually says "a woman" was passed from father to husband, etc. Not
everything in those lines necessarily applies to her. And it was her friend
in the brothel who had supposedly been put aside because she was barren,
and then became pregnant from a client (the writer thereby pointing out
that she wasn't barren, her husband was sterile).

As to Janette's age when brought across, I'd try to find out what Deb
Duchene's age was in 1992 and use that.

I'd love to see a   FK: The Next Generation story
Maybe Nick & LC, a hundred years from now
Nick has a new life, but he still thinks of nat
LC is still doging him & telling him
"This quest for humanity is foolish, Nicholis"

But Life, Nick, & the world go on . . . .


I wonder if it can be made into a new seiries

Subject: Re: SIN numbers

638-784-783

The first few digits code the region of origin; so this one is for
Alberta (starts with 6); don't use it for a SIN issued to an Ontario
resident. And yes, 9 in the first digit indicates refugee status, which
doesn't apply to Nick!
