We have NO INFORMATION that the cast and crew don't want a fourth season.
In fact, all the inside information that's drifted past my ears has
indicated that they are very interested, providing that adequate funding
can be arranged -- and considering what we have done so far, this is not
outside the realm of possibility.
The contracts have been held until June. This is DONE. Nothing we can do
right now will change that.
Our momentum has built, and the media is beginning to take note. What
shall we tell these journalists who inquire about our efforts? "Oh, no,
we've changed our minds"?
Never mind the fact that this would make us look ridiculous; that doesn't
matter. Discontinuing our efforts now would make THE CAST AND CREW look
like laughingstocks! After all the work we've done, and after all the
charity donations we've made in their names, this would be CRIMINAL.
We are doing this because we BELIEVE in the show, and we BELIEVE in the
people who work on it.
Have we now decided that we no longer believe?
Keep the faith.

Subject: New FAQ on CompuServe
Just FYI: I've uploaded version 2.0 of the SOS-FK text to the FK library on
CompuServe's SF Media Two forum. The response of people there has been less
than energenic; the forum's inhabitants are more Trek- and B5-oriented,
anyway. Still, every little bit helps. I've asked the sysop to highlight the
new FAQ in the daily "forum flash" that pops up when users enter the forum.
A question about the Sony receipts: Are these needed ASAP (i.e. via overnight
mail) or is it OK to send it via snail mail?

Subject: Questions....
In a couple of hours, I am boarding a plane for Los Angeles so that I can
do the first turnover of funds raised by us in honor of this show, and as
part of the effort to save it.
I'm really proud of the efforts we've made so far. But more importantly,
I'd really like to feel as though when I do that turnover tomorrow, I'm
doing it as part of this group effort, and that the group continues to
support the project.
In other words, I totally disagree with Lupino, and am in agreement with
Susan and Sharon and Jamie. If contracts are now being held, they are
being held. In my opinion, this is a GOOD thing.
Please guys, continue to support this effort at least as far as the
charity drive is concerned. I want to continue to believe that I go to LA
as a representative of ALL OF US.
And right now I'm feeling a bit like I'm heading there alone instead.

I can't speak for everyone else on the lists, but I for one still believe in
Forever Knight. We have been granted the blessing of a complete third
season and the opportunity to work for a fourth season.
None of the cast and crew of Forever Knight have told us that they do not
want a fourth season. Concern has been expressed at the possibility that
the show will be under-funded and they will be unable to provide as high a
quality as before.
This concerns me too. However, IMHO, if we can convince TPTB that there is
enough demand for Forever Knight for it to be financially worthwhile for
them to continue to produce the show, then TPTB will start looking at ways
to finance the show.
I agree with Jamie, Susan and Sharon. We have accomplished some wonderful
things in this campaign through donations to the Pediatric Aids charity and
blood drives. If you do not want to write any more letters, or make any
more telephone calls, fine. But don't stop donating.
IMHO, we cannot stop now. The campaign to save Forever Knight is well
underway. Stopping it now will cause more damage than good -- to us, to the
cast and crew of Forever Knight, and to anyone in the future who works to
save a TV show in danger of cancellation.

Subject: bb2 poem?
Okay, this might have been talked about, but I can't find it in my
backups of list discussion.
Someone just e-mailed me about the FK home page and asked what was the
name of the poem that was quoted in Black Buddha 2? Who was the
orignal author? Anyone have a clue? I can't remember and I don't
have a copy of the tape to go back and watch to figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Sundry Matters
Gang:
Although I have seen in the most recent digest that the "Vampire and
Virgin" issue is _not_ to be discussed, I wish to say one _very_ brief thing
about it.
I was not aware of the rules and regs about discussing personal mat-
ters of cast and crew. Even though I was unaware of this, I felt that the
V&V post was inappropriate. Kudos to Jaye for handling the situation in what
I think was the only way possible.
Now. I agree that we should continue our rescue efforts _at least_
until NATPE is over. Moreover, if someone thinks that some of the cast and
crew don't want a fourth season, why don't we ask *them*? Mr. Bennett? Are
you out there? Would you _want_ to do season 4? If any other cast members
read this, ditto? Crew?
Does some medically-oriented person out there know what the rules
on donating blood are for someone who has recently (within 8 months) gotten
a tattoo? I'd like to donate blood, but I'm afraid my recent act of self-
mutilation may bar me. :(
I seem to remember something saying I have to wait a year. If this
is so, as soon as I can, I'll troop down to my local blood bank and donate.
Even though I HATE needles. ;) That's what you get for taking allergy shots
for seven years.
ObFK -- SOS -- I need help. I have a night job, and can't tape FK's
most recent eps. Can someone be nice and get in touch with me about getting
copies of "Strings" and "Hearts of Darkness"? Also, I'll need someone to tape
"Human Factor" if it ever airs. Please e-mail me at my private address.
Thanks to all of you.
Pat -- the Lone Nanette
P.S. Here's a resolution, since I broke the one about smoking. If we get
a fourth season, I'll join the Perkulators -- and I'll (gulp) enjoy it.
I think that will make me the only Nanette/FoD/Perkulator. Oh, well, I like
being unique. :)

Subject: Re: Questions
Maybe I'm just feeling like nothing is really happening( and my friends and
family are laughing at me). I'm just frustrated and depressed. I'm going to
give blood and do my best to donate to charity( I have mouths to feed first,
leftover goes to charity), but if we don't get what we want, it's going to be
a BIG letdown for alot of people. Maybe I just need a good cheering up.
Then I'll be more gung ho.
Sorry to offend(really)

Subject: Waffling over/back to work
I admit to a weak moment of *doubt* (hanging head in shame) this morning
after getting mixed messages on the SOS plan, but thanks to some later
(encouraging) posts I can report MY BACKBONE IS BACK and ...
I had a dozen blood red roses delivered to the NAPTE-bound syndie-rep at WGNT
(UPN) in Portsmouth, Virginia (or rather ordered them, they won't be
delivered until tomorrow a.m.). Anyone who has EVER had flowers delivered to
their office (and I hope you ALL have) know that all day long the first
question out of anyone's mouth will be "Ohhh, who sent them?"
The answer . . . Virginia Beach FK Fans!

Hi, everyone.
I received the following back from Sony, regaring the results of the
Postcards-for-Charity promotion. I guess we'll just have to wait!
Thank you for your nice comment, and for visiting the SONY Pictures
Entertainment Web page. Come back soon as we continue to grow.

P.S. Sorry, we don't have exact numbers yet.

I got a person. A man. No name. I asked for "the programming director"
and got immediately connected. He seemed to like the show, knew when it
was on and all. He said he'd call me back. As far as I know, he hasn't,
but then I've got a very interesting setup as far as communication:
phones, snailmail, everything.

Subject: Re: Questions
I agree with Susan,Sharon and Cynthia. I believe that there has been
plenty of opportunity for someone,anyone to step forward and politely say,
"please stop,its not what we want,or not in our best interests" But so far,
no one has done this. Nigel Bennett has access to this list, JP has AOL.
Last night Nicholas Gray and Gillian Horvath were present at the FK AOl
Virtual Party. Many people here from what I gather have at least a casual
or professional relationship with some of the people listed above and if
they wished for us to stop,it could very easily be done.
And until someone does come forward and asks me to stop, I will continue
for what I want. I don't think thats being selfish, because as far as I know
at this place and time, I am not harming anyone.
To LISA C: Lisa,its my feeling that right now its the old cliche of
"Its not whether you win or lose,its how you play the game" Whether or not
we get a 4th season, I can walk away knowing that I played fair and along the
way a lot of help was given to people who really needed it and a lot of days
were brightened. So if I have taken the joy that FK has given me and passed
it along in the way of charity or blood drives and if it means that I had
to count my pennies in order to do so,then I'm happy and I hope that you are
too,because if nothing else,the people that I have met here,the wonderful
things that have been produced all make me feel as if I've already won.
