'bad way' to have been infected?  Let's all contemplate the insanity of
that...and now I'll relate it to vampirism: well, I'm a woman and the
vampire who brought ME across was a MAN!  (giggle)

* I"ve always loved this episode for its brave take on curing a disease that
targeted an unpopular 'species.'*

<I'm amazed that I never thought of this -- thanks for pointing it out!>

I'm delighted at this late date to have brought a fresh insight to the
list.  I very nearly didn't join because I thought everything I could
possibly think of to offer had surely already been said, thought, hashed
out, denied, argued about, and haggled through.

*Yes!  No wonder Nick thought so, because he doesn't see that he doesn't
need to atone for his sins. Under even the medieval Christianity he still
seems to believe,  _snip- absolution from a priest denies the omnipotence of
God. It canbe construed as setting himself up in God's place.*

Fair enough, but since it's a basic premise for the series I'm not certain
the show could have gone on without Nick's angst...he had to suffer and
believe he was lost so he could continue to search for a cure and for his
salvation.

<< NOTE: <putting on listowner hat> When the show was on the air, we
discussed this. I was very proud of us for doing so without bursting into
flames or disrespecting each other's views.  We can do it again if anyone
wants to take this up. I know we can.>>

Sure, why not?  I may not agree with your ideas but I'll defend them to the
death and beyond!!


>>I've heard that when Ger knew they were going to be cancelled, he went to
The Powers That Be and asked that FK be allowed to >.do what they'd wanted
before TPTB tried to change the show's whole ethos. Maybe the details I
heard aren't quite right, but it's >>true that they were allowed to do
controvery because of the pending cancellation.

No doubt.  He truly had a lot to do with making the series as great as it
was.  Some of their best work was in the last few episodes.  Ah, FK, we
hardly knew ye.


>>Of course there are those of us who think Last Night can be interpreted
other than that LC staked Nick.  One idea is that Nat >>was brought across.
 She must have made LC think _Nick's_ rebellion was a walk in the moonlight
by comparison. :)

Yes, she would have been quite the handful.  LC HAD to bring her across,
otherwise Nick's promise to her was broken.  She would have been miffed with
Nick as well...but others more skilled than I have dealt with that in
fanfic.  Not the first of Nick's messes he's cleared away...or created?

How she would have enriched the vampire race.  <sigh>
