Subject: Uncle vs. Count Dracula
Gang:
IMHO, LaCroix wouldn't even have to lift a finger against the Count.
LC has approximately a thousand years on him (assuming that Francis Ford
Coppola's screen version is correct), and moreover, if it did come down to
duking it out, LC's got more military training and experience.
LC would just <look> at the Count with his patent-pending Night-
crawler's gaze, and use the Dragon's Breath (tm) voice: "And you are going
to do *what* to me, exactly?" A slow feral smile, fangs exposed. "To quote
a nineties phrase, my dear Dracula: 'I don't *think* so."
<Dracula either gets the snot beat out of him, or he runs>.

No, no you misunderstand!! It's not that we can't tell the difference, we
KNOW the difference, there is absolutely no similarity between the two, one
is real and one is created. All I mean is that if someone says "Hey,
LaCroix's gonna be at the convention" it's just more familiar to say LaCroix
than Nigel. No one is going to go to a convention and expect to see LaCroix
giving a panel (what a scream that would be!!!! I'd go!!) it's just a matter
of semantics (You say tomato and I say toMAto), not a matter of confusing
the two. I think all of us here are bit more intelligent than that!! Anyone
who goes to a convention expecting to see the character has been wearing
their t-shirts far too tight!!!

Subject: Re: flashback question
For several months, I have also gotten the episodes of Forever Knight
on a late Saturday night (actually early Sunday a.m.) on the FOX
channel, showing the same episode each week as the one shown on USA.
Right now FOX has been showing reruns which I assume are the same ones
being shown on USA, as that is what they have been doing for quite a
while.
A couple of days ago, I called my local FOX channel here in town.
When the woman answered, I said that I was calling to ask about a T.V.
show, and before I could say anything else she interrupted me and said
"Which show is it?" When I said it was Forever Knight, she told me
that a lot of people had been calling about the show, and that on her
program roster it is scheduled to air through May 25.
She did not have the titles of the episodes available, unfortunately.
I am hoping that the last 4 eps are the ones she has scheduled, and
that FOX will go along with the SciFi channel, showing the episodes
the same way they have been doing with USA.
I thought it was a good sign to hear that many people locally have
been calling our FOX network to ask about FK!

Good news for those of us in the Indianapolis, IN area. I called Fox
yesterday and they are contracted to run Forever Knight until May 25.
After that date, they weren't sure. At least we will be able to see all
of the new shows. I told the girl on the phone that there were going to be
a lot of happy campers out there.

Yes, my local cable company _thought_ they were evil...they thought they
were omnipotent...they thought they could replace good channels with Court
TV and _never_ get around to getting the Sci-Fi channel so we could see
first and second season FK...they just made _one_ mistake...they got an
e-mail address:
malden@t........ This address _should_ cover everyone in eastern MA
with Time-Warner Cable...if you live somewhere else and have the misfortune
to be served by this _evil_ cable co, check your next bill to see if they
have an e-mail addy. But anyone and everyone can feel free to e-mail _my_
local cable co and ask when they're going to get the Sci-Fi channel
(outside of Medford and Salem, which already _have_ extended cable service
<grr!!>).

Simple question for you Canadians and/or folks who've been fortunate enough
to go up Canada way:
How far is it from Toronto to, oh, I dunno, Montreal? Like, how long would
it take to drive there? How many miles is it? What's the speed limit in
Canada--in the metric system and MPH so I'll know, being a metric-impaired
American, how fast that is?
Why am I asking? Oh, no real reason... <shrugging innocently>

Yes, but I think he(LaCroix) would be more tacticall, and the
Count (1,2,3 ha ha ha 5,6,7 ha ha ha...sorry got carried away) would be
more disgusting in the way he fights, and kills so I would like to see
how the Roman way would beat the Counts way.

I'd like to see him get flung around by LaCroix'z mentall
powers(I don't think he has any in the show but I think he must be that
powerful to prosses so cool powers other than his pretrenatural strength>

Subject: Nigel Bennett Novel
I was fortunate enough to hear NB read from his upcoming novel this last
weekend at SyndiCon. I don't read a whole lot of Vampire fiction but
this one is a definate must read! Of course I would read anything anyone
from my favorite show wrote, but if I had no idea who NB was this story
would catch me (I love Arthurian books) . The hero is Richard who is
made a Vampire to protect King Arthur and the Grail (he is Lancelot) it
is both in Arthurian times and modern day. The vamps in this world
can't fly but they can whammy, and being immersed in fresh running water
is bad for their health. They also have some tolerance for sunlight if
well covered. We can only hope that if there is an audio book that NB is
the one to do it. The reading was very impressive, the room was utterly
silent as he read. Please forgive me if I have misremembered any
details, cons can be rather overloading on the brain cells!
On a me to: If you have a chance to see NB at a con, take it! You will
not be dissapointed. I have been to a lot of cons, and this was a true
highlight . He is a great guest, you will really enjoy yourself!

Ummm... didn't we all decide not to say dangerous, provocative things like
that any more, after last weekend? :) But I thought that the real reason
listmail was light today was because people were all getting ready to go to
Toronto for Ger's play... I could be wrong, goodness knows. *I* don't get
to go. And not to either Syndicon, for that matter...
Just kidding with the self pity. :) I'm *really* happy for everyone
who gets to go, and I know some people will be relieved to see the listmail
lighten up a bit for a while.
Because I know at least one person who will be spending this entire
week in Toronto, I want to wish everyone a great time now. Have tremendous
amounts of fun, and try to leave "Hollywood North" standing, if you can...

Subject: Ger Chat Summary
Hi
Just got off the chat with Ger on Prodigy. Allison Perry was correct - what a
pain to log on.
Anyway here is a quick synopsis. I did log most of the chat
He is doing an Outerlimits which should air in June
He did Triolgoy of Terror 2 which will air on the USA network
3. His Movie Conspiracy of Fear should be released this summer
There are some spoilers for Last Knight which I will post on the spoiler list
and the Human Factor.
I got a bunch of my questions answered. I was ABABABABA on the chat if anyone
is interested. I could get a Nickname to work. What a pain.
On the question about FK movies he said A Remote possiblity.
He thought the series was hurt by the double broadcast on USA and syndicated.
_ both numbers cut into each other.
The director from Hercules who used to work on Fk was on the chat and asked
him to do an episode.
SOMEONE DID TRY TO BUY the rights to the show. "but if fell apart because of
previous ownership." Yes I would under the right conditions (he was asked if
he would come back) I wouldn't want to take steps backward, I 'd wanted to
have control over stories.
I asked if he had any say on wardrobe and he said he had based on the choices
offered to him.
I told him that 100 + people from the list were going to see him at the Shrew
- then I stuck a question in about the Shrew.
It looked like he was doing his own typing this time.
Only 21 people showed up. I asked a question where I began that 1000+ list
members would have love to show Up but finding this place was very hard.
Now off to the spoiler list to complete.

Subject: Ger chat on Prodigy
Thank you everyone (especially Allison) for posting the Prodigy directions
AND for saying how long it would take. It took me 90 minutes to sign up and
download all of the software (and I thought AOL was bad!!!).
The chat was very--sterile. Not like AOL, where you have people around you
and a sense of being in a crowd or a big room. You're stuck in a little
cubicle. You know there are other people out there, but you don't know who
they are or where, so you can't chat with them. Very Kafkaesque.
I tried to log the chat but had some bad glitches at the beginning and
middle. They said during the chat that a text log would be available, but
didn't say where (if anyone has the info, please feel free to forward it to
me in private e-mail).
I think the maximum # of people in the auditorium was 21--unlike the AOL
chats, where we had well over 280. Lots of posters mentioned the list, a
few the play next week. They posted one question I know for certain would
never have been passed along on AOL, which is half why I asked it. Ger
seemed more attentive at this chat (then again, he <was> bowling through
most of his last AOL chat) and was very open and honest with his answers.
Also, Mike Levine stopped by and asked if Ger would like to go to New
Zealand to do a Hercules (more a joke than anything else, I gather, but who
knows?).
And for those of you who are on Prodigy all the time, I give you credit for
patience beyond understanding. You are earning karma in a big way.

I was in the computer lab one night and there was a lady named, Lee (I
think that's right) sitting across from me. I looked up and she asked me
why I had been grinning for the past hour? I explained about
responding to mail from the FORKI-l list. Found out she's a fan and,
in fact, she asked me how to subscribe. Hope she was successful.
Yep, you never know.

Subject: Ger's chat!
Hi everyone!
I just got back from Ger's chat on Prodigy. First, the bad news. Prodigy
newbie that I am, I did *not* manage to get a complete log of the chat. I
think I'm missing the entire first half or so. Anyone who was there and
got a complete log, please e-mail me at <percy91@w.......> or let
the list know, because I don't think I have enough patience to wait for
the official transcript!
The chat seemed to get off to a slow start, but it turned out that all the
questions and answers were being stored up somewhere because they suddenly
started flying out at a phenomenal rate. I couldn't even read fast enough
to keep up.
I can't even think of highlights until I look at the log I did get, and
hopefully at someone's complete log. (Please? Someone??)
OK, here's *one* highlight that I did manage to catch:
> Pat0001 (Member Question)

Let's see, he'd want it darker, but also more whimsical and witty. :^)
Darkly whimsical? Witty flashbacks?? And don't ask me to interpret the
rest -- I have no idea, and it's clear that some stuff in the chat was a
bit garbled by the transcriber.
Anyway, I hope someone did a better job than I did of logging the chat.
I think eventually the official transcript will make its way to the
following web site, accessible from outside Prodigy as well:

Re: Whether Nick's quest for mortality/redemption is old or recent:
I think we need go no further than Nigel's opening voiceover; "... now
he wants to be mortal again ..." *Now*, indicating that this wish is of
recent vintage. I'm not sure that we could say that Nick was perfectly happy
for the first 650-700 years. That much angst doesn't build up overnight.
I don't think we see a flashbaxk of Nick's search for *whatever* that
dates back much before the 1800's (The ep with the very "Frankenstein" lab
where the doctor asks Nick to bring his grilfriend over, I forget the name,
but it's 3rd season).

Don't I know it! They got rid of the one Asian girl on Friends and we ALL
remember what happened to Connie Chung, right? Anyway, just about anytime an
Asian woman is portrayed on TV she's either a hooker (it's that Geisha thing,
hard to live down, even though technically I don't think Geishas are hookers,
but I do think thats how they're perceived) or someone's very quiet wife. I
DIG COHEN!

There's some kind of rule in show biz. If you're Asian or Native American
you've got some kind of access to the World of Spiritual Knowledge. Not all of
us are herbalists or Shamans. I remember when I first started watching FK, I
was SO shocked and pleased that the police capt was an Asian woman. Here's a
question: Natsuko Ohama is Japanese, but was her character Cohen of Japanese
decent?
<< She was simply a police captain who happened to be
female AND Asian. And I liked that. (Even though they wrote
her rather one-note-ish.)>>
I agree. There could have been more done with the character. But I think as
written, she provided a nice contrast to Nat's sometime-hecticness, Nick's
often-angstiness, and Schanke's occasional boisterous goofiness. I mean all
the above in a good way, of course. ;)
<<BTW, I'd always assumed Cohen must've
married a white guy & taken his last name, but I don't think
they ever showed her family, did they? >>
Well on BMV, she was whispering "sweet nothings" to SOMEone on the phone. I
don't remember who, though. ;)

Hmm... Must be what went wrong between me and my ex-fiance! I'm a Virgo, he's
a Saggitarius... Gawd, it was in the stars!
But seriously. Yes, I do think Tracy and Vachon are an utter mismatch, but I
think that's how it was supposed to be. I mean, imagine if Tracy were some
kind of rough-and-tumble fly-by-the-seat-of-her-Liz-Claibornes. What if Tracy
rode a bike and wore artfully scuffed leather? What if she didn't give a fig
about what Daddy said? I don't think Vachon would have wasted his time with
her. He seems to go in for that "innocence" thing a lot. Despite the fact
that Urs was a saloon girl with dubious relationships, she is still quite naive
and ingenuous. She needed protecting, or so Vachon thought (perhaps rightly
so, I don't know). He also apparently thinks Trace needs protection too
(witness: Trophy Girl whammying scene).
This segues into an interesting analysis of Vachon's character. That despite
the slacker appearance, he's got these really deep paternal feelings. I'd even
say he saw himself as Screed's protector, too.
And no, I ain't becoming a Vaquera! ;)

I think it was "Lucius, oh, Lucius!"
But then I could be wrong. ;)
Seriously, if someone finds out I'd like to know too. ;)

Sorry everyone - the log didn;t come out. I got the first couple of questions
but then i noticed that my screen said log off. I turned it to log on but I
that in fact turned off the log.
Actually upon viewing the log it stopped when I went out of the auditoriam at
the direction of the speaker who said that was the reason I saw no questions
being answered. I guess when you jump out you need to reset the log.
Allison - I only have the first couple of questions. I did print up a copy
of most of the chat but I have no scanner to dump it in.
Does anyone know how long before Prodigy puts the log up??
Does anyone else have the log???

(Look, Ma, four lines! <g>)
I think Lacroix's full Roman name was: General Lucius
And you didn't leave out the General part if you wanted to live. <g>
Did Romans *use* family names? Any Roman history buffs out there??

Subject: Synd-East: You're Invited!
I may regret this later, but... a) it'll be great way to meet new
cool friends b) what better friends to meet than fellow Knighties,
Natpackers, and Cousins. c) I need a good excuse to clean my apartment
So....
Since there seems to be a general interest in Syndicon-East:
I have an apt 15-20 mins from downtown Baltimore. If there's
enough interest among those planning/wanting to attend
Syndicon-East in Baltimore May 10-12, you're invited to come &
stay at my place and/or just stop on by for a FK fan get-together.
Your luxury accomodations would include:
- cable TV, VCR (bring your favorite FK episodes!),
a great stereo (bring those FK Soundtrack CDs!!)
- watching the new FK episode (Thurs&Sat at midnite)
(also Babylon 5, Highlander, DSN, SFC, etc.)
- kitchen, computer, Nintendo, free hot water, phone
(don't forget to call Mom on Mother's Day!)
- easy access to bus stop, restaurants, stores, Baltimore beltway
- whatever social agenda you'd like to set (kidnapping Nigel,
or Stan Kirsch, FK episode marathon, stupid vamp tricks, etc.)
So if you're finding it hard to cough up the $$$ for a hotel
room downtown, if you want to meet new/other cool FK fans,
would like to get more FK out of the mostly Highlander con,
don't mind sharing floorspace with a fellow Knightie, Natpacker,
etc. (1st come, 1st serve), write me offline and if we get
enough interest, we can have a mini FK convention of our own.
