Subject: The Return of the *DEAD* Vamps
Difficult, because IIRC she was killed off in the fire and explosion after
being thrown into the vat with the silver essence. However, this being television,
and because nobody ever dies in sci-fi, she could stage a miraculous comeback.

I thought the Lola character of the most recent Moonlight episode made a far
more interesting, LaCroix-ish "old vamp" than Josef. If the sereis lasts, I hope
she returns.

Not that difficult. She did die off camera afterall. Her henchmen were all
around. All it would have taken is one vamp with speed. (Maybe even the
lovelorn Josef himself) He pulls her out of the vat and runs out of the building
before the explosion. She hadn't been in the silver that long, she was probably
salvagable.
Besides, as someone else noted, we actually saw LC staked with a flaming
piece of wood and he came back. :-)

Yes, but in Moonlight he sticks out a mile since all the other characters
are so lame and tame. Otherwise I wouldn't waste a second glance at him.
I'm still not any kind of fan of this series as yet. I'm hoping it will
improve.

Actually if you watch carefully, you do see LaCroix get staked with the
flaming piece of wood. But shortly following that there is a shot of the
flames in front of the door without anyone or anything there. After than
there is a shot of something burning on the floor, presumably LaCroix,
but it could as easily have been just his coat.
Or, Nick could have dreamed the whole thing . . . . ;->>>>>

Subject: Episode Discussion: Love You To Death
1) I'm not sure where John Kapelos would rank this episode in terms of
being a favorite...but this is clearly one of Schanke's favorite cases.
He's not just a customer of Classy Intimates...he's President of their
fan club.
2) turn the lights on and The Raven is a different club
3) I thought Nick was going to swallow his shoe at seeing Janette in the
Precinct building.
She seemed to have an unholy amount of fun teasing Nick while she
was there.

If you're on the digest, and you're using reply to post to Forkni-l, please
change the subject line to reflect the content of your post. Otherwise your
mailer will pickup Forkni-l Digest as the subject. This makes it difficult to
follow threads, because of course one digest contains a number of subjects.
Thanks! And for the new Forkni-lers, welcome aboard.

Subject: Admin: Too much moonlight
Guys, while most of us are contrasting Moonlight with FK, which is fine, we're
also getting replies on list that are only discussion of Moonlight. If what
you want to say in answer to a comment on Moonlight and FK does not concern FK,
please take it to private mail. For example : comments on Moonlight characters
without reference to any from FK.
I don't want to have to forbid Moonlight as a subject, but I may have to if we
keep getting Moonlight only posts, including replies. They _are_ off-topic.
Thanks!

I've watched that scene a number of times and I'm pretty sure
what we are seeing is in fact LaCroix's coat. I think the writers
deliberately left a bit of "wiggle room" because they were uncertain as
to whether or not they wanted LaCroix permanently gone.
With Season 2...they decided to bring him back and Nigel's
masterfully sneered "I am too old and powerful" was all that was needed
to bring the General back into our own time.

Subject: Re: FK on Chiller
"I've been hoping that the new channel Chiller TV might bring Forever Knight
back into the public
eye once again. They are airing Night Gallery and the old version of the
Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Werewolf and American Gothic and Good vs Evil
and and Brimstone...and many other classics. I have Direct TV and have been
enjoying this channel very much for all the old friends I've been
revisiting."
Hmm, that is an idea. I also just switched to Direct TV (because my pig
headed Cable carrier refused to pick up the NFL Network and the Big 10
Network). I am fairly certain that DISH Network also has Chiller TV. The
question then becomes how many of us get Chiller on either Satellite or Cable
TV? If there are enough people, then a letter writing campaign (maybe thru
KtK?) might be in order.

I had never heard of Chiller -- obviously not a channel my cable company
carries. Is this a recent startup channel or has it been around for awhile?

Chiller is a brand new channel that launched in March 2007. They are a
predominately horror channel and owned by NBC Universal but they do show movies
and tv series that originate from other studios. It's available only through the
Directv satellite service and only if you are in one of the higher tier programming
packages. It's also supposed to be available in HD within the next year.
My parents were debating between Dish and Directv and persuaded them to go with
the latter because of Chiller. Unfortunately they didn't get the package with
the channel and it mocks me everytime I scroll through the onscreen guide.
While FK is not one of the shows they air they do have a lot of programming
that Sci-Fi channel used to air pretty regularly like Friday the 13th:The Series,
Night Gallery, Monsters. In addition to Friday the 13: The Series they also air
the New Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Both shows had guest appearances by several
of the main FK actors.
A friend of mine visits their forums quite regularlly and she says there
support there for Chiller to pick up FK and that those in programming takes
suggestions from the forums quite seriously.
Sci-Fi owned (does it still?) the rights to reair FK. Since both Sci-Fi and
Chiller have the same parent company I think the chances are quite good that FK
will eventually end up on Chiller.

Oh that would be such fun. Loved Brimstone. The lead character there
had almost as much angst as Nick. ;->

Anything produced in Canada will have many of the same actors,

Would the fact that FK was originally on late night CBS and
Chiller being owned by NBC figure into things at all?
