Subject: Discussing "Dying to Know You" and paranormal events in FK
With "Dying to Know You", Forever Knight introduces unequivocally to the
paranormal. Oh, there are vampires, of course! (FK definitely has
vampires.) If, however, we take vampires as given, the series is
emphatically a cop show. Nick is a homicide detective, albeit with a
significant "difference"; and, in every episode, he has a murder to solve.
The only previous episode to dally with other forms of the paranormal or
supernatural was "Last Act". However, there, things were more equivocal.
Did Nick actually see Erica's ghost? As filmed, one might say yes: the
actress was on screen, lit so that she would appear washed out in a halo of
blue-white light. Nevertheless, the scenes are interpretable as Nick's
*thoughts* of Erica--hallucinations or the like, one might argue.
Certainly, no one else in the episode saw Erica's image; nor did it interact
with the real world as a poltergeist might. (In Season Three, things were
different. But then, as people often point out, Season Three *was*
different.)
In "Dying to Know You", though, there is no question that Denise Fort is a
clairvoyant. Stonetree accepts her as such, and has used her in previous
cases. And, of course, we are given glimpses of her visions.
