Actually, the image in my head right now is one of that cartoon character Baby Huey (altered appropriately to look like Lacroix) squeezing the life out of... whatever cartoon character it was that Baby Huey was always squeezing the life out of. I forget. Anyway, I think it was a cat who was always desperately trying to get away from the suffocating embrace of Baby Huey. Does this give anyone an even better idea for the faction's name? I keep thinking that the Unnamed Faction is going to be confused with every new faction we come up with that hasn't been named yet! But of course I bow to the vote of the majority...

The CD I received my CD last thursday, a mere 6 days after I had ordered it. (I am now finding that I have "the Hunted" going thru my head at odd moments. I do not know why this particular track, and not others, should have stuck itself into the "Screen{mind?}saver" part of my mind [i.e, the part that becomes active when it is not other wise being used], but I do not mind...) I LOVE IT, and have listened to it several times over the last 5 days while fighting my computer, and I'm listening to it (again and again) now. :-) I would have piped in earlier with my thoughts on how wonderful this cd is, but my compter (a Power Mac) choose Thurday to develop several problems and finaly to no longer recognize its own internal hard drive. I had to reformat the HD and reinstall everything. Luckily I managed to back up everything before it completely crashed. I am now caught up again. (WARNING: Mac system 7.5.3 / 7.5 update 2.0 is COMPLETELY incompatable with Norton DiskDoubler Pro v. 1.1's AutoDoubler {and possibly RanDoubler 1.6.1, and it has problems with Microsoft Word 6.0.1, etc... and this update was supposed to FIX problems} (Sometimes I almost want my old, but very reliable MacSE back.) On a related note: How many of you would buy a CD of GWD's piano playing? I would love to have a good recording of him playing the Moonlight Sonata. (Not to mention one of Nick playing that lovely composition for Nat from Carrie Krumtum's "Fifteen Minutes". I wish it really existed , I know what it <feels> like, now I want to hear what it <sounds> like.) 2. TCI and the SCI-FI channel A couple of years ago, before it had any web connections, AOL had a whole series of folders devoted to the Sci-Fi channel. One of these was a folder for requests to bring the Sci-Fi channel to your local Cable Co. It was mostly filled with people who had TCI owned cable companies requesting it. At the time the official responce was that TCI wanted to be able to charge some obscene amount to customers for the channel, while USA/the SCI-FI channel wanted it to be a basic or at least a very low cost channel. Since they could not agree, no local TCI owned cable co. could add the station. :-( -- I do not have cable currently because I refuse to deal with the jerks (they really are) at the local Sci-Fi-less TCI Cable co (Carbondale, IL), but my parents live in an area that does have it (Woodbury, MN) and my Mom has agreed to tape the show for me. :-) (But all my attempts to get them to watch and like the show have failed :-(, in fact, my Dad (upon seeing apart of MBiaV while I was home over winter break) could not understand how I could watch "such garbage". <sigh> 3. Episodes still in Spoiler protection-- post ONLY to FKSPOILR, not this list: As Jane Doe marks the beginning of new eps, and since no more will be coming out of spoiler protection for several weeks, I thought I would provide this service now, before people start to ask again. Shown once in syndication, NOT yet repeated: Games Vampires Play Human Factor Avenging Angel Fallen Idol Not yet seen, MUST have spoiler space on FKSPOILR: Jane Doe (Showing this week in syndication) (I am not going to get to see it until next Sunday/Monday (Midnight) :-( ) Francesca Ashes to Ashes Last Knight All other 1st, 2nd, and 3rd season eps may be freely discussed, dissected, analyzed, scrutinized, and otherwise written about on FORKNI-L. :-) 4. The Wav files on the Sci-Fi web page, a problem I have the SoundApp, which is supposed to be able to deal with wav files, but the wavs on the SCIfi page are coming thru VERY sped up. Is any one else with a Mac having these problems? or is this just one more application that can not coexist with system 7.5.3? Or am I/Netscape doing something wrong? I know I have downloaded wav files before with out a problem... oh well, it's 4 am, time for bed, Laura Ruggiero (larug@s.......)

Jon Cassar, the director, posted over on AOL that, although there is no Canadian fifth amendment protecting one from self-incrimination, the idiom has appartently crossed the border. The phrase "taking the fifth" is quite commonly used by Canadians for that purpose, especially in the larger cities.

Nigel talked about A Fate Worse than Death at Toronto Trek in 1994. He said the way he meant to play it, LaCroix was in love with Janette and that's why he brought her over. Later, at Dead of Winter in 1995, I heard him say in a conversation outside of the public sessions that he thought LaCroix and Janette had had a "torrid" (his word) relationship for the first couple of centuries or so. Deborah Duchene was sitting right there, and she didn't gainsay him. Anyway, I've always assumed that he was in love with her, even before we knew about Seline. In fact, the reason I've always assumed Nick was wrong in believing that LaCroix was in love with Fleur's purity and innocence was that he'd been in love with prostitutes twice. It didn't seem reasonable that LaCroix had any particular interest in innocence. Imho, that was big brother Nick's attitude, not LaCroix's. Cousin Lisa -- "That will be trouble."

The rules are that as soon as a new show has gone out ON THE SATELLITE FEED we can discuss it without spoiler space. Since Jane Doe came off the sat Monday morning it can now be discussed like any other of the earlier spoiler episodes (on the spoiler list, of course). And before you ask, I did indeed inquire of the listowner some months back about this and this is official. But the last three (Francesca, Ashes to Ashes and Last Knight) nobody has actually seen yet, so discussion is largely speculation and rumor; so yes, use need to use spoiler space when posting about them.

I hope this doesn't duplicate anyone else's post, but such are the risks of being on digest mode... Lucky me, I get the Sci-Fi Channel and could enjoy a ghost-free version of "Dead of Night" last night. Actually, there *were* ghosts, but only the ones that were supposed to be in the story, not the ones I get due to bad reception on my local syndie station. <g> If we're to have any chance of getting future 2-hour FK movies, it's probably crucial to keep up the SOS-FK campaign. This means letters to the Sci-Fi Channel (and for those outside the U.S., to local television stations), to Sony, to local cable companies (asking for the SFC), and of course, to SPONSORS!! So here's a list of the sponsors of the 8pm EDT showing of FK on the Sci-Fi channel. The sponsors run the gamut from junk food to cars. I'm cc'ing Karen Tobin so that hopefully addresses for these sponsors will eventually make their way onto the sponsor address list (linked to the Save Forever Knight page). In the meantime, if you buy something from any of these sponsors, save your receipts so you can enclose them with sponsor letters. Sponsors of FK on the SFC, 4/22/96 8pm EDT: ------------------------------------------- Burger King, Cheetos, Long John Silver's, Pizza Hut, Diet Coke, Benadryl Allergy, Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion, Dimetapp Elixir, Advil, Brut Clear Gel antiperspirants and deoderants (Faberge), Toilet Duck, K-Mart, American Express (and the ad says you can use the American Express Card to buy CDs, so if you haven't bought the soundtrack album yet....), Subaru Outback, Century 21 real estate and Century 21 Home Improvements vinyl siding, Gramercy Pictures "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie," Pro-Form Spacesaver Treadmill, ITT Technical Institute. There was also a public service announcement for Partnership for a Drug-Free America and a number of ads for shows on the Sci-Fi Channel itself. Here's the address for the Sci-Fi Channel, BTW: Mr. Barry Schulman, Vice President of Programming USA Networks Sci-Fi Channel 1230 Avenue of The Americas Fl. 18 New York, NY 10020-1513 If you get the Sci-Fi Channel and can watch FK there, send this man a thank-you note! Send this man goodies! (He's probably munching down on those Hershey's Nuggets I sent him a couple of weeks ago...) Ask for 2-hour movies! Ask for more publicity for FK! :^) * Allison Percy, perky Knightie percy91@w....... * * Shrewthering info: http://assets.wharton.upenn.edu/~percy91/shrew.html * * "Mmmmm, slaughterhouse.
