And a belated Happy Thanksgiving from me, too. FK really introduced me into
online fandom, and I have a lot of fond memories of the people on this
list. I hope the holiday season finds you all well!

Subject: Hello again

I've belonged to the list for years, but I haven't posted much for quite a
while. In fact, I actually let my membership lapse for a brief period
recently. However, I resubbed for a couple of reasons.

First, I gave a friend the Dresden Files DVDs for Christmas last year, and
he finally got around to watching them this summer. He loved the series -
he's a fan of the books - but was quite disappointed that the series ended
after only one season. My husband suggested I lend him my FK DVDs and he's
really enjoying the show! So I started watching FK again.

It's really cool to watch the show after not seeing it for several years. I
have to admit that I was afraid it would *ahem* suck. Not that it was bad
back then, but this is (eek!) almost 20 years later, and viewer expectations
have changed. I have to say that I am constantly being pleasantly surprised.
The writing is pretty darn good! That Kapelos guy can really act! And Disher
and Wyn Davies and Duchene - definitely not bad at all. In fact, Janette
steals just about every scene for me. My friend loves watching LaCroix -
he's never seen a villain quite like him, I think.

Last night, I saw "Amateur Night" and "The Fix".  I have a passing
acquaintance with the role of the expert advisor (some friends have done
this), similar to Schanke in Amateur Night, so it is pretty cool to see this
role in a TV show. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen it highlighted this
clearly on TV, although SG-1 does have nods to their RL experts on a few
occasions. Of course, it's all a play-within-a-play, since FK is more
realistic than some cop shows, but still not 100% accurate (even once you
remove the whole vampire angle).

And The Fix, of course, was a total riot. Especially the spaghetti scene.
And the scene with Nick and Schanke on the beach, where Schanke notices
there's something different about Nick but can't put his finger on it?
Reminds me of when my husband shaved off his beard, which he had had for
decades, and everyone noticed something had changed - and figured he had new
glasses!! But I also picked up on things that I'd manage to miss - like the
fact that Nick managed to successfully fight a new addiction.



Sorry I missed the latest war, but I'm having a lot of fun watching the show
once again.



Oh, and the other reason that I resubbed? A fellow World of Warcraft player
mentioned that she was also an FK fan. /wave



Your humble & obedient servant,

Angela Gottfred
