I'm curious to know who'se heard of / eaten perogies before? Here's a local brand, but I can get four different brands (in a variety of flavours) at my local grocery store: http://www.cheemo.com/perogies.htm And a town in my province boasts the "world's largest perogy": http://farm1.static.flickr.com/40/79474941_b779fedd7d.jpg?v=0 Your humble & obedient servant, Angela Gottfred ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 15:01:49 +0000 From: Ensio Ferum <eferum@h.......> Subject: Re: Episode Discussion: Blood Money I find this episode in a many ways interesting. We see a new vampire, Felix who seems to be from Victorian England and looks like Pre-Raphaelites with strong aesthetic taste. He is quite different regarding the way we usually see vampires with black, gloomy mood and electric goth music playing on the background. If Raven is a place vampires dwell, so many of them seems like every day citizens and are not "typically" vampiric. That is something I liked in this show, vampires mix so well with the society and it's citizens, that one can easily adopt them as a part of world. Charles du Champs reminds me from English bank world on London City, perhaps it is the hat he is wearing. Looks a bit odd on the new Continent, but perhaps his origin is in Europe and he has a lot conservative European customers. And his son, isn't he more like the Ukrainian polka player on that previously posted polka video. I started to think, what if his mother is from Eastern E, a former Russian aristocrat?? Nick's "dark secret": was Charles speaking about his wonderings that Nick is not aging or that he is suspecting something about the money's background; that there is something not right. Flashback is definitely something that shows a very different Nicholas de Brabant. The conversation between him and LaCroix is interesting. I have the feeling that LaCroix is not gathering much property and things around him. Allways ready to move on and to see new places without anything one must abandon or left behind. He is more like a modern consumer with a conscience (with green values :) ). Perhaps he is not liking the way Nicholas is getting the money, he is actually betraying his fellow soldier, something which is perhaps against the ethics of a ancient roman warrior. Is this the only episode,where Janette is wearing that dress. One can see it on press photos, but I dont remember seeing it very much on episodes. Janette is certainly a very lovely woman. One of the good results of the all'around lack of consistency in story telling, is that it allows us to fill the caps with our own imagination. In one episode Nick is more with Natalie and next he's more around Janette, so everybody can imagine things acording his/hers own dreams. This episode was something for the Nick&Janette fans (like me).
