Subject: Re: ie vampires in oklahoma
there be no holy water in oklahoma, this is a baptist state (at least
that's what great many baptists think) and they belive holy water is
something the cathlics made up. Still, it wouldn't be that bad to be a
vampire in oklahoma, since one of the favorite things to do in this state
is to get drunk, if you fly, the locals will simply think their seeing
someing. Yes the summers would be a bummer, but think of the long dark
winters. ALso, there is hardly anyone living here. Somehow though our
state is full of very creative people, for some very strange reason. Also
plenty of cows in case anyone gets hungry.

For Aussie fans with cable access: I saw John Kapelos in a movie last week
called
'Deep Red' on the Showtime channel (channel 3) it will be repeated on Friday
26th April at 8.45am. Also stars John DeLancie(for ST fans). John Kapelos
plays a police detective who teams up with an immortal. Sounds familiar :)
Also
A member of our Brisbane group of Forever Knight fans, Jill Craig is
conducting a survey of Australian fans favourite Forever Knight episodes. As
well as being informative the results of this survey will be helpful to our
group when preparing our presentations at local conventions. (We have one
such presentation at a Babylon 5 convention in three weeks.
If you wish to be part of the survey, please E-mail me privately and I will
send you the questionaire and a comprehensive episode guide that Jill has
prepared by snail mail or E-mail.

Subject: Curioser and Curiouser
Ok, now I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this or not. Remember when Nick
walked into the bar and it was a panning shot of him. They walked past about
4 people sitting and drinking. One of them had a huge hat on his head (I
assumed he was the mad hatter) I didn't get a good look at the other people,
but I'm sure they were probably more characters hidden in there somewhere.

Subject: Re: Police Captains
Have to agree with Dotti.
I thought Cohen was *BORING*, One-dimensional,monotonous, useless.
I liked Stonetree because he had emotions and great stories.
But Reese is my favorite. He's witty, quick on his feet, a *good* cop <G>
andcaptain, knows and admits that he's brownnosing when he does, advises
without bullying (like Stonetree), and he really cares, it's not just a
job to him.
Reese or Stonetree are the perfect captains and I would like to see one
or the other when we finally push them into a 4th season. :-)

Subject: Re: Fourth-Season Eps
Oh, I like the idea of expanding on the Carouche society. I always wanted
them to go into that more and develop some characters.
Also like the idea of a boyfriend for Nat. That would make for some
interesting story lines between the new beau and Nick. Nick would have to
face up and tell Nat "hey, I kinda like ya.....etc." Instead of hinting and
hoping.
There's certainly not a reason to bring back the show for a 4th season due
to lack of material is there?

Something that you have to keep in mind about Nick and his sense of "fashion"
is that for the first 7+ centuries of his 'life', he would have worn all of the
layers listed above, and maybe a few more.... I'm sure that he must feel
practically naked in just jeans and a t-shirt, and by the standards of dress
for most of his existance, he would be. Just take a glance thru a good history
of costume book for the period of 1200 to say, 1900-we are all terribly under
dressed by the standards of the previous centuries. You can take the boy out
of the 13th century, but you can't take the 13th century out of the boy....

If you want to add anything new to your page the bombshell has been dropped
at SyndiCon in San Francisco this last weekend. The one about Nigel Bennett
and I writing a vampire book together, that is. It's called KEEPER OF THE
KING, and we're almost finished with it and hoping for an October release.
We share equal writing credit (he gets top billing, and I don't mind) and
have done equal writing on it. Actually, he's done a bit more than half the
book!
He gave readings from it at the con and it was pin-drop hearing time in a
packed room. The fans LOVED it! Any questions I'll answer as time allows,
but the full skinny is in my fan club newsletter. Memberships are

Subject: Re: Seeing Nick in Flight
I have always thought that the reason Nick doesn't "register" with people
when he flies if because he moves to fast. Therefore, all people see is a
streak of light or something like that in the sky instead of a humanoid.
Maybe that explains some UFO sightings. They were Vampires. ;-)
Ok, I know we clearly see him flying in the first season, but we also see
him vamp out when others don't , we hear the heartbeats when others don't
and FK is predominately Nick's POV.
Schanke and the TV reporter (forgot her name,) saw Nick when he was in their
direct line of sight and they were focused on his individual movement. He
also slowed down and stopped in their presence.
Make sense?

I am delurking after a long time to pose my thoughts on the matter. I am
also curious as far as the correct order. A few weeks ago when the list
of remaining 3rd season eps was posted, it was stated that Francesca and
Ashes to Ashes were going to run in a different order than they were
produced. This was because one (can't remember which) was a lead-in to
Last Knight. In that case I think it doesn't matter what the production
schedule for 2nd season was. The correct order was the order we got, with
Crazy Love being last. I am sorry if this was discussed during the second
season but I came to the list during Black Buddha. (no flames please.)
Anyway since things have been a little slow I think we can discuss this.
It is important because we want to be sure that Dominion has the correct
order, even though he should know since it's his job. I have not seen a
web page that has the airing order, only the prod order. Anyway, please
enlighten us. I will shut up now. Discuss.

I think that's true. I think "Crazy Love" dealt with that problem, to some

Hmm, maybe. I keep wondering whether or not the creative minds behind

Subject: Re: Nick a Baptist?
Here's the thing from my POV... My basic religious ideas are something along
lines of, "I used to be a Baptist, but I got better." :)
*If* Nick repented of his sins, whether or not he was a vampire, regardless of
how many lifetimes he has lived, regardless of everything in his past; if Nick
repented of his sins and promised his life to some God or other (God, Allah,
whatever), then he's redeemed. Period. No questions asked. That's what
redemption is. The total absolution of sin, regardless. There is no way to
make it to whatever heaven he may believe in by doing enough "good" to
outweigh the "bad." Remember the thief who was crucified next to Jesus. He
repented of his sins; he never "repayed society for his sins"; and yet Jesus
said, "This day you will be with me in paradise."
Isn't that good news for our favorite angst machine? All you really have to
do is say, "I'm sorry and I won't do it again," and that's it. You're saved
and redeemed. Forever. And even if you are a creature which the Bible says
is evil (the Bible, incidentally, which was written by *men* who presumed to
speak for God; whether or not they actually did will never be known) if you
repent and ask for redemption, you'll get it.
Until next time, I'll be watching...

Actually, Lutherans are protestants and they used water that has been

confirmation so i can't remember where the water is from, but, at least,
at my chuch, the water would burn the heck out of nick.

That's a good point, and it reminds me of something I thought when I first
saw "Blackwing." On the Spirit Path, Nick appeared just as he does now, in
modern dress. Because of the way the others appeared there, I found Nick's
appearance very significant. I assume that it is the true self, or at least
the true self-image, that defines the physical form on that plane.
Thus, Nick's self-image has kept pace with the times; the person he is now is
the person he believes himself to be. We know that, on some level, he is
still Nicholas de Brabont, Crusader, but he has adapted amazingly well to era
after era, culture after culture.
Some weeks ago, we discussed what qualities LC was looking for when he chose
Janette and Nick for his Family. I think that one extremely valuable
quality, which both have demonstrated, is that adaptability, that willingness
to define a self that is part of time without being consumed by it.

I would also like to know the proper order, assuming there is such a thing.
Sometimes things are produced in an order that has nothing to do with the
order in which the events depicted are "really" supposed to have happened.
On the episode guide I've seen, a lot of the second season eps don't have an
air date listed. Does anybody have the correct air-dates for the second
season? For that matter, did Tristar air the second-season in the order the
eps are "really" supposed to have happened, or did they just air them in
some other order for some reason of their own? Is there someone connected
with Forever Knight who has the definitive word on the order in which the
episodes are supposed to have happened? I'm not talking about the
flashbacks here, just the events in the present.

But do you notice in the Canadia eps there was almost always a scene where
he was lounging around the loft, in his robe, that was almost always open,

When I think of Cohen, I always think of Hunted. There is this classic
Cohen look in Hunted where Nick and Schanke ask her if they can go
undercover, and she has this ...blank... look. I suspect that same
look would be her initial reaction to finding out about Nick.
There's probably more to Cohen that we see, and her... er "blank" exterior

That isn't my impression. I think she's just giving him time, until he
feels comfortable about it; not pushing. The line in DK: "Don't you think
it's time we talked about the others?" indicates to me not a reluctance
to know, just a reluctance to *push*.

Oh, I didn't feel that at all; and she certainly wasn't that way 1st season,
since she seemed pretty impressed that he knew Joan of Arc in "For
I Have Sinned." In that one I felt that it was *Nick* who didn't want to
dwell on "Famous People I Have Known", with a kind of "get over it" look.

Isn't it funny how the same show can give us different impressions? I
think that's precisely what she'd like to do, and it's Nick who resists
nattering on about himself. I've always had the feeling that he tells Nat
*a lot* more than we viewers ever get to hear! And when did you every
meet a man who *didn't* like talking about himself (VVBG)
Cheers!

(Alright, you're a sympathetic group, right?)
I've just experienced the rush of receiving the CD in the mail, and
friends-----I don't own a CD player. I mean to buy one, but I am so ignorant
of anything techie, and I've made so many diappointing purchases.
Can someone recommend a portable CD player? Perhaps if you just let me know
if you have had a BAD experience with any particular brand....
Thanks ever so,

This is why I dropped the suckers and went further into debt for a
satellite dish. A SciFi employee at the San Francisco World Con a few
years back said TCI *won't* add any new channels they don't own a piece of,
and USA won't sell pieces of SciFi. Unless things have changed at TCI
(and since they've got the same CEO now as they did then I don't think
they have) then there probably isn't a lot of hope.
Does ANYONE with TCI have the SciFi Channel?

Subject:Nick=Baptist
Nick isn't a Baptist. I believe Nick is agnostic. He has a difficult
time reconciling the concept of God propogated by the conversative
group(ie hellfire and damnation) with the concept of God as a loving
diety. Recently, our society has experienced a turn-around in religious
values. Many denominations, realizing they were approaching "Phariseeness"
by following the letter of the law, havereconsidered their stance and have
begun preaching about God is love.
Unfortunately for Nick, he lived through the hellfire and damnation
era/century, and hence has the bad taste of guilt in his mouth.The thing
about guilt is IT IS AS GOOD AS WHAT it can bring about. If it brings
about repentance, then good. But after that, it becomes a liability. Even
most preachers admit this.
Nick's guilt is unwarranted, but being a survivor of a conservative Baptist
family, I well understand his need to spiritually punish himself for all the
evil he has done.
But again, after 800 years, you figure he would have worked through that.
I personally think Nick needs to go to a shrink. He is neurotic as hell.
