I just watched fever on Sunday morning and I noticed that Uncle's
eyebrows are completly normal. So I would assume it might be a part of
the cure in Fever that they grew.

Subject: People Poll -- IMPORTANT
I've been thinking about the discussions on the People Poll and two things
come to mind:
1) We've been seeing weird percentages, and changing ones
and
2) There's that random sequence of gibberish in the URLs.
Now, I do web development for a living. High end stuff. And it occurred to
me that that would be a great way to see if people were sitting there with
their browsers and putting in multiple votes. They could be tracking the
URL that is submitting the votes. A large number of votes from the same
URL might mean that someone was spamming votes.
Now, we all know that we wouldn't do that, right?
But of course, if lots of votes for FK people were from the same URL ...
it might look funny and give them an excuse to drop votes, even if they
are legitimate, which we know they are, right?
So ... (there is a point to this, really.)
If you're going in to vote in the poll, go in through
http://www.pathfinder.com/people/
and if for some reason you need to enter multiple votes (like, um, if
there's someone else there that wants to vote, right?) GO BACK OUT and
RELOAD the People home page before going back in.
As for the funky results, if I had implemented something like this, getting
someone to write to me with a complaint -- as I was thinking of doing, that's
how I realized this -- would be one way to track spammers.

Subject: recent repeat/GWD audiotape
Hello, I have been on no-mail for quite a long time and needed to
resurface. I have a couple questions which may have come up recently -
sorry if I am repeating what others have discussed!
I am wondering what was the episode that repeated over the weekend early
Sunday morning? I watch it on channel 59 (fox) in Blgtn, Indiana - so I
am not talking about an episode shown on USA.
I missed it entirely and hope it wasn't Games Vampires Play, which I have
never seen.
I am wondering if anyone has ordered the GWD audiotape by Tangled Web
Audio, since the beginning of March? I ordered my tape over a month ago
and haven't heard a peep from them. I know when it first came out a
number of people on the list received it.
The last thing I must say is how much I LOVE Fred Mollin's FK soundtrack.
It is wonderful! Thank you, Fred! I have been listening to it everday. If
anyone needs the details about ordering this CD or cassette, email me.
Carol.
die hard FK fan.

Actually, I think Nick's big stumbling block is his inability to
forgive himself and put his past behind him. He must know that God
forgave him the moment he honestly repented, but he just can't seem to
forgive *himself,* and until he does... Anybody feel like discussing "For

I noticed someone was thinking up these and wanted to add a few of my own.
All I Really Need to Know I Learned on Forever Knight . . .
1. When running through dark flowershops beware of the garden hose.
2. If the solution makes no sense go see a good play written by an old
friend to find the answer.
3. A little cow blood once and a while is better than homocide.
4. Living forever is the best revenge.
5. If you kill someone, make sure they're really dead -- they may come back
to torture you.
6. Scottsdale,AZ is *much* better than Pheonix,AZ.
7. Know the Code ! !
8. Forever is a long time to run.
9. When suffering from amnesia, always check with your coroner before
venturing into the daylight.
10. Always double check the math before predicting the end of the world.
and a side note . . .

You know, I think I would really be disappointed if I met Ger or Nigel.
Like, I would have a really hard time shaking Nigel's hand and saying
"nice to meet you" when I really wanted him to stare into my eyes, talk
some philosophical jargon, and then bite me on the neck.
And Ger, suppose he doesn't have that guilt complex or humility Nick has?
I would struggle if he were some pompous ass. Besides, I'd want him to talk
romanticly to me and then bite me on the neck. (-:

Regarding the Playgirl comment, for all we know Ger may feel that his
body is not in as good a tone as it might have been for that play.
I'm gonna have to go rewatch NiQ for that wheeling Nick away for
x-ray scene. If you saw more chest hair, then maybe I'm right that
it was a stunt chest in the closeups. :) (More chest hair wouldn't
bother me. ;) )
As far as Nick's character dressing modestly to discourage interest
in him sexually, gosh, it sure hasn't worked. ;) I mean, look at the
women who have fallen all over him (Emily Weiss got that deer-in
headlights look the first time she laid eyes on him). And, besides
that, some women get more intrigued by a guy who's modest (peaks
their curiosity). But then Nick does have his problems with women. :)
Except for those $#%! vests that had him in *way too much* in second
season, Nick usually looks pretty tasty in whatever he wears (but
particularly in jeans). :)

Well, my only explaination is most folks don't notice because it is at
night. If they do notice, they probably figure it is some kind of
bird or bat (okay large bird or bat). Nick is usually dressed up in
dark colors anyway (as most vampires seem to do).

I have a related question. I was watching some season 1 & 2 eps the
other day and I noticed in the earilier season we the viewers actually
got to see NK & LC flying around, whereas in season 3 all we get is a
whoosh and a blurred screen. Were the special effects really that
expensive and were they really on that tight of a budget in the 3rd season?

Firstly, I think Uncle in Fever looks absolutely FABULOUS, especially

Secondly, Uncle doesn't wear underwear, I know this for a fact.

Subject: Fourth-Season Eps
(Optimism in honor of Laurie, who typed the evocative words, "FK: The Movie")
--- Top Ten Things to Have in Season Four ---
10. Nick flashes back to visiting Fleur -- occasionally, sneakily --
during her life after BMV. Discovers in the present that LC knew what he
was doing all along. Nick realizes he plays "big brother" with Tracy.
9. The Nightcrawler has an encounter with his human listeners.
8. We discover that the carouches have a whole sub-society of their own,
and Nick has to do some serious introspection over his predjudices.
7. Urs flashes back on her relationship with Vachon, while she has feelings
for Nick in the present. Nick remains oblivious.
6. Nick and Vachon's (brotherly) relationship is expanded upon.
5. We discover through LC's flashbacks that he had a brother or dear
friend, lost as a mortal, whom Nick resembles in many ways.
4. Nick views his problem in the light of an eating disorder, because of
a girl involved in a case who has such a problem, with flashbacks to
feast or famine
3. Nat has a relationship with a nice, normal, mortal man, which lasts
over several episodes, so everyone has to deal with it. He could be the
kind of foil Charlie used to be on HL.
2. Two-hour, mid-season special, revealing that Schanke is in the
witness-protection-program (a la Jamie's story).
1. Janette comes back for good, and redecorates the Raven.

Subject: Snow; Ger Speaks!
Hi everyone!
Still suffering from caffeine overload. Hopefully I can keep this
semi-brief, though.
(1) Snow in Toronto
As someone already pointed out, Toronto is on the wrong side of Lake
Ontario for lake-effect snows. That's probably one of the reasons why
Toronto is popular as a filming location while Buffalo (which is on the
correct side of Lake Erie for lake-effect shows, and which got something
like 40 inches of snow in one 24-hour period in December this year) is
not.
But if you want to find someone who knows how to make a really good
snowman, snow fort, snowball, or snow angel, talk to someone raised in
Buffalo (or another snow-prone city)! <g>
(2) Ger Speaks!
With much technical assistance from friends, I've put together a page with
some GWD sound files on it. The "Ger Speaks!" page has Ger pronouncing
his own name (so no one has to argue about whether it's gur-AHNT or
GAIR-aynt) and a bunch of sound clips from his role as Klaus in Dracula:
The Series. (The giggles and hysterical laughter he did as Klaus are
great!) The URL is:
http://assets.wharton.upenn.edu/~percy91/gwd/GerSounds.html
You need a sound board and speakers, of course, to listen to these
files. They're .wav files so hopefully anyone with a sound board has the
proper software to listen to them.
Well, time to go to the post office to pay the tax man. I suppose Nick
created the de Brabant Foundation (c.f. Blood Money) so that he could give
away some of his enormous wealth without losing a lot of it to the tax
man. I wonder which good causes the de Brabant Foundation supports? A
center for research on better sunblock lotions? The National Anti-Garlic
Society (NAGS)? A shelter for runaway vampires? A program for recovering
addicts and those with eating disorders??

Subject: Saturday Night, SOS-FK, and My Big Mouth
As much as I love Forever Knight, I have come to love its fandom
even more. So much so that I am going to shoot my mouth off in public
about something that fortunately has yet to scorch me personally.
A whole raft of my favorite people in this fandom -- people who
each put in hundreds of hours and, in one case, thousands of dollars,
working in tandem on SOS-FK just two short months ago are now at each
other's throats, publicly and privately. And it's not for blood -- at
least, not for the sensual, pleasurable virtual blood some of us would
cheerfully offer up to our vamps -- and do, in fanfic, all the time.
To the best of my knowledge, this has never happened in FK fandom
before. The only factions, and the only Wars, this fandom has known (long
before my own arrival in it, which is relatively recent) happened in a
context where, in Susan Garrett's perfect words, (which may God and SG
