Subject: FK related songs
I don't know whether or not this one has been mentioned before but
"Color of the Night" by Lauren Christy is a perfect Nick and Nat
song.There's a line in the chorus that says, "....Can't we ever get
beyond this wall? Because all I want is just once,to see you in the Light.
But you hide behind the color of the night."
Awesome song!!

Subject: Shrew: a bit on costumes
Though I am still only semi-coherent after a weekend of sleep deprivation
and uncontrollable laughter, I thought those who had to miss "Taming of
the Shrew" in Toronto would appreciate a few tidbits on costuming.
We thought we'd see Ger in tights. We got something better than tights!
To list just a few of the outfits he wore:
-- long brown wool coat, rubber pumpkin head, funny nose & glasses
-- tight black leather jacket
-- form-fitting undershirt with tuxedo front drawn on it with a black
magic marker, cotton shorts and black knee-socks and sneakers, swim
cap, and nose plugs (which he kept on for the entire scene as he
delivered his lines)
-- gorgeous loose white shirt with open neck.... <happy sigh>
-- barbeque apron with boxer shorts (and only boxer shorts) underneath
(for those who want to know, the shorts had cherries on them)
There were many more outrageous costumes and unique interpretations of the
roles... not the least of which was the cross-dressing Gremio as portrayed
by David Ferry. :^D
I went all three nights and laughed hysterically all three nights. Every
night was different. *All* of the actors, including Ger, were absolutely
fantastic. Some of us have already scheduled a trip to Toronto in two
years if Patrick Tucker's Original Shakespeare Company does another play
at the next du Maurier Festival -- regardless of who the actors are!
While I'm glad to be back, it was tough *not* having another performance
of "Shrew" to look forward to last night. :^(

Subject: New England - Last Knight Party
************* FOREVER KNIGHT PARTY****************
Hi All,
While I am still in New England, I would love a chance to meet in person some
of the FKer's back here. So I thought this is a great opportunity for a party.
I will be holding an FK party for the last episode "Last Knight" on
Saturday, May 18th, in my
Suite at the Marriot. The hotel is the:
Marriott Residence Inn
000 Xxxxxxx Xx.
Room 0000
Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
(000) 000-0000
There will be carpools heading down from Mass and there is a shuttle bus
from various locations in RI.
I can also pick some people up who are in relative shooting distance.
I have a VCR here and copies of seasons 1, 2 and 3. I also have lots of
extras such as
Air Wolf, Commercials, Deadly Harvest, Ghost Mom, Other Women's Children,
various TV shows with FK Cast members, and the blooper reel.
For those who haven't been to a San Francisco Bay area party - I am also known
as the Catering Cousin. My suite has a full kitchen and I will provide all
the food. I am open
to requests.
People are welcome to bring Sleeping bags and stay the night.
Alternately, there are over a dozen
motels and hotels within the immediate area (I am very close to TF Green
Airport). Unfortunately,
the Marriott is currently booked for that night, but if people would like, I
can get them to put me on
a waiting list for additional rooms (MetLife rate is $80/night) and they
will save the first cancelation
for us. The rooms have a queen size bed and a queen size sleep sofa as
standard - larger suites have more beds.
Please R.S.V.P. so I can get an approximate head count. Of course, all
guests are welcome.

Hi, I've been reading all these really great posts about songs that would
be good for FK. I have an absolutly perfect song for an episode, but the
problem is that the ep. hasn't been shown yet. Now, would I post that here
with spoiler space or would it be restricted to the FKSpoiler list with
spoiler spaces also?
Didn't want to post it and then get hollered at.....but if anyone knows the
answer please let me know. Thanks!

Yes, but *watching* and *using* are two different things. It took me a few
tries to work out how to use chopsticks, even though I'd seen them used by
other people. Apart from the fact that Nick probably doesn't hang around
mortal dinner parties much, there is the fact that eating implements have
changed in design and use over space and time. How many people on this
list realise that forks originally only had two prongs and were used for
stabbing food rather than scooping it up? Or that up to around 1800 table
knives were broad and round at the tip and used for conveying food to the
mouth? Eating peas with one's knife was once considered socially
acceptable.
As for french fries - they're finger food. Even if they aren't familiar to
Nick, the method of eating them is - which probably explains why he keeps
choosing them when he forays into mortal cuisine. :-)

Cousins are the faction of fans devoted to LaCroix. The Knighties
favor Nick (and the Dark Knighties like him but think he should give
in the the vampire more), the Natpackers are her fans, etc.

Subject: Re: Canadian vs. American
This is from Sara Orel's comments on FKSPOILR on 04/29/96, and is not
actually SPOILER since it is non-specific to a particular episode:
>I was having a conversation with a Toronto friend of mine <snip> and
>she argued that Cohen was much much more _Canadian_ as a captain
>than Reese. Reese is an AMERICAN police captain, and has very
>little to do with anything Canadian.
I find this *facinating* folks, because quite frankly, the only things I
know about *Canadian* police is what I've seen on FK! I haven't seen any
other shows set in Canada or dealing with Canadian police, although I've
read Tanya Huff's Vicky Nelson novels, which are set in Toronto.
I would very much like to know what the differences are which are so
noticable to the Canadian public and invisible to ignorant yanks like me
<G>. I'm serious. I recently posted a story to FKFIC, and the only faintly
negative response I've gotten so far was that the "cop" part of the story
was definitely American rather than Canadian -- even though I was *trying*
to be very careful and extrapolate off things I had seen in other FK episodes!
So, besides "Crown" instead of "D.A"/"Federal", what should a writer known
to make the "cop stuff" more Canadian??
Thanks!

Oh my god- that was an *awful* picture. I never thought his nose was that

At a slight tangent to this topic, my friends and I were discussing the way
FK had become rather grim and humorless in the 3rd season. We were debating
whether this had been a result of USA ( the company) taking over the series,
and were speculating that television in the US (the country) tended to be
either drama *or* comedy, and that the series had become Americanized. Or
at least it seemed that way to our Australian eyes.
And turning this topic around a few more degrees, my friends and I have
noticed the difference between the ways Australian and American fans react
to episodes - the American fans giving a more favourable response to
sentimental relationship oriented episodes, while Australian fans take a
grittier, blackly humorous approach. The also bears on the "Americanizng"
of the show in the third season.
No international flames intended - just some observations. I'd be
interested in other people's comments on this topic!

Followers/fans of LaCroix. Or Uncle, as we like to call him. It goes back
to a time when SHaron/Scottie mentioned she hates frogs. Well, two of
LaCroix's fannish sent her bunches of toy frogs at the same time. She got
on line and accused them of being evil cousins. That turned into "We're
COusins looking for our Uncle LaCroix." Hence, the first faction. It's all
history from there...

I do believe that the line was, "You're so mean, you have to be cousins".
After which point LC became Uncle, and yakkity yakkity blah blah.
Gotta get the facts right. <g> Of course, I wasn't there for it either...
and thus fact gets rewritten into legend...

y'know, someone could easily make some bucks that way;
just set up a little shop with a bunch of quality tapes and
VCR's, etc~ "mail order for all three seasons of FK!"
now there's an idea!

That's also something called copyright infringement. You can be sure that
if Paragon/TriStar/Sony heard of it, they would probably sue.
It's one thing to make a copy of a tape for a friend for the cost of the
blank tape. It's quite another thing to profit from it.
If someone contacts you, offering to make copies of episodes for anything
more than the cost of a blank tape, DON'T ACCEPT. This would be someone who
is interested in taking advantage of a fan's desire to see the show. They
should be likened to a vulture waiting for easy pickings. There have been
rumors of some vultures contacting people, offering to make tapes for
something like $150 a season. DON'T ACCEPT. You'd be far better off asking
for an episode or two at a time from friends or the list.
Don't forget to write to TriStar and Sony about getting Forever Knight
released on video tape. There is a market out there and we should let them
know about it. Don't let some shady character make a lot of money off you
just because you want to see Forever Knight. There are a lot of list
friends out there who probably would be willing to help. Just be patient.

Twirling spaghetti on a fork is a lot easier than using chopsticks, though.
Maybe he'd seen people do that with spaghetti before, and thought it would
be real fun to try it. That would fit with his mood in the ep. And it's
easier to eat spaghetti that way than by trying to scoop it up. I know.
Spaghetti's my favorite food.

I like this reasoning! Nick, still the 13th century guy in some ways.
I did notice that in NiQ, he was real awkward dealing with that chicken
noodle soup. Maybe watching people eat soup just isn't as interesting
as watching people eat spaghetti, so he didn't quite know how to do it.

Should we write to People Magazine and tell them how disappointed we are?
After all, I voted for Ger 'cause I think he's a good-looking guy. They
could make it up to us if they'd put a nice pic of Ger in their magazine.
(I'd even buy their magazine if they did that.) Anyone know the address
for writing to People? Of course, I'm gonna feel awfully silly if I
write to them, and they tell me Ger's own publicist sent them that picture.

Subject: Why half the cast left
John Kapelos's contract was up and he wanted to move on. I've also heard
that he wanted more of a raise than they were willing to give him. It's
not true that USA wanted him out.
Otoh, it seems to be true that USA thought Deborah Duchene wasn't what
Deb described as "hip enough." Presumably this means sexy, which confirms
my suspicion that USA wouldn't know class if it bit them on the neck.
(Ok, I thought of another bite site, but this is a family list. <g>)
Deb was justifiably insulted when they tried to reduce her contract from
regular to recurring. They had broken her contract by doing so, and she
refused to come back under their terms.
I have also heard, but do not know for a fact, that CATRA wouldn't let
the production company reduce a regular to a recurring while the original
contract was in force.
I've heard that USA wanted Natsuko Ohama out and that she was frustrated
with the one-note role she was given. Anyway, it's my understanding
that she wasn't asked back and didn't really want to come back.
