Last Knight (2) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 17:27:51 -0400 From: Portia Eins <portiaeins@g.......> Subject: Re: Last Knight Technically, I think it would have been a very hard scene to film, having Ger pick up Catherine and maneuver her to the couch without it being awkward. But more than that, I think for Nick, more than anyone (religious, serial killer used to death, etc.), what was on the floor was not Nat -- Natalie was already beyond the "door" or approaching it, in Nick's world-view. More important than anything to him, at that moment, would have been for him to catch up with her as soon as possible, to share in her faith that they *would* be together. He was urgent to not leave her waiting alone which, while macabre, does have it's own element of romance and devotion. The whole scene seems to indicate that Nick has already set aside earthly things and is already focused on the spiritual -- neither Nat's nor his own "mortal shell" was of any more importance. Frankly, I can't see Nick ever giving up his quest for redemption, nor can I see LaCroix giving up his bond with his son. The only answers I could see for the whole thing was either Nick regained his humanity, he achieved death, or he continued to struggle throughout his existence. Though, if you go with the spiritual aspect of the show, I suppose some divine intervention could have come up with another miraculous answer. All I know is that Nick was a hero because he gave everything he had to fight the worst that was in himself to become something better -- that's why I loved this show and why I love Nick. Thank you, all you fic writers who gave him a happy ending! Love ya, and love this show! :o) Portia On 6/2/10, FORKNI-L automatic digest system <LISTSERV@l.......> wrote: > > ------------------------------ > > Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 00:19:01 -0400 > From: Deborah Hymon <debh@e.......> > <snip> For me, that would have been a more emotional ending--not the damn > floor--that was SOOOOO cold!

You can't blame him for wanting to get there and get away from a life that he felt was only evil. Jeannie In a message dated 6/2/2010 2:28:28 P.M.
