In the first season episode Dance By The Light Of The Moon, the flashback
deals mainly with the circumstances around Nick's conversion. Since I
saw another post asking more detailed questions about the same scenes,
I'll give the long extended version, all of which may or may not have
come just from DBTLOTM.
Nick was a knight in one of the crusades, the number escapes me. He was
on his way back home when, one night, quite possibly after a fair bit of
drinking, he saw Janette across the room. She seduced him in about two
seconds flat, and they left whatever public place they were in (I would
call it a tavern or inn, but I might be wrong) to find a bit more
privacy. It's debatable whether or not they had sex, and it's been
bandied about the list one way or the other, with no firm solution.
But Janette definitely didn't kill him. She rose away from the bed, and
Lacroix stepped out of the shadows. Then (off-scene, but heavily
implied) he brings him across right there. He had never even seen
Lacroix before that point. Ummm, I'm trying to remember all the
questions the other post raised... he was definitely an only son, but he
might have had an older brother at some point. Does anyone else remember
that line that Fleur said in BMV? She told LC about losing another
family member to the crusades, but I can't remember what the relation
was... anyhoo. I think that was all the questions about his being
brought across.
> society. When does the whole show start? Do any of the episodes show the

The show starts two (I *think*, shoot, and I just helped on the Knightie
timeline, I should know this stuff) years after Natalie started helping
Nick. I'm not sure what you mean by "when." The show starts in the
present when it was aired, four years ago.
The flashback from another first season episode, called Only The Lonely,
showed Nick and Nat meeting. A great episode that I beg people to put in
the VCR, and still have yet to be able to watch without hiding my face at
some parts. I'm not sure if that qualifies me for a pin.

Subject: Re: The Other Show
I know we're not supposed to do "me, too" posts, but I have to say
that Candy has a point. I've read the commentary that's been posted
about Kindred: the Embraced and I realize that personal opinions are
people's own, but I have to wonder a bit that if FK had been renewed
for a fourth season if people would have looked at Kindred just a
bit differently. Kindred is not FK; I don't think it's meant to be.
They're perhaps more V:tM game oriented than they need to be and that
may cause them problems with getting a big audience. The acting could
definitely be better too, but as I said in my review, I think Been
(oops, *Ben*) Bass and Lisa Ryder needed some time to get into their
characters on FK. A similar thing happened, I think, with Ben Cross
playing Barnabas Collins in the remake series of Dark Shadows. I
don't think he truly got into Barnabas until the 1795 flashback.
I'm an original Star Trek fan. I watched ST:TNG when it came out and
for most of its run. Maybe a dozen episodes reached the kind of
compelling storytelling level in ST:TOS. But that didn't mean that
I couldn't enjoy ST:TNG--I just didn't enjoy it as much as TOS.
TOS inspired me; TNG didn't usually. I've also watched DS:9 off and
on and haven't been as interested in it. I've watched Voyager (even
through some *really bad* episodes, but they've improved). Kindred
may improve also and get an audience. I'm willing to watch a few
episodes to see. I watched it earlier tonight, in fact.
Some of you have posted to the list that you saw an episode or two
of FK without becoming fans right off, that you later saw an episode
that made a bigger impact on you and made you fans of the show.
Kindred may just have gotten off to a very rocky start. It probably
won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I at least intent to give it a
fair shot in interesting me.

Unfortunately, there are shows and corporations that believe it is not only
their duty but their right to eliminate anything that might be even
remotely seen as "competition". By whatever means necessary.
Considering that the word "conspiracy" might have been specifically coined
to describe the entertainment industry, I don't find it at all improbable
that some other production company might have engaged in under-the-table
negotiations designed to bring about the USA cancellation of Forever
Knight, in a misguided attempt to promote their own product. Withdrawal of
USA funding being, of course, the major factor behind TriStar's
discontinuance of production.
Of course, we have no official means of finding out for certain; but time
will tell.

Subject: Malenky droogies and Kindred:the Plagiarized
A big thank you to Diane Shea <KerrRaven@a.......> for checking the
English/Nadsat glossary in A Clockwork Orange to let us know just what a
malenky droog is.
She's correct that it's quite a good book. There's an interesting twist,
though. I went to the library last night to find a copy of A Clockwork
Orange w/the glossary. I stumbled onto a copy with an updated forward from
the author, Anthony Burgess. It seems that there were 21 chapters in the
British edition of the book, but, at the publisher's insistance, there were
only twenty in the American version. The movie is based on the American
version.
I sat down and read the last chapter, missing from the edition of my
youth. O my brothers, it put a totally different and much more hopeful
meaning onto the entire story. If Screed has piqued your interest, and
you'd like to read A Clockwork Orange, be sure to read the 21 chapter
edition.
I have mixed feelings about Kindred:the Embraced. On the one hand, it's
inspiring to see the rich production values that result from actually
having a decent working budget. If ONLY Forever Knight could have afforded
the varied camera angles, the relatively lavish sets, and the really
gripping vampire eye effects, to say nothing of being able to hire a full
and varied supporting cast.
As a San Franciscan, I was eager to see the city I cherish depicted.
Unfortunately, only four scenes ring true as being genuinely San Francisco:
The opening chase scene on the roof of The Cannery, Alexandra being chased
by the other vamps (I recall seeing this being filmed in the parking lot of
Thomas Bros. mapmakers, in what is the former Barbary Coast area of the
city), a shot with Ghirardelli clock tower in the background, and the view
from the bench in front of Julian Luna's mansion. Julian musta put the
whammy on the rangers and the park police BIG time, since his manse is in
the Marin headlands...smack in the middle of Golden Gate National
Recreation Area.
I'll give them credit for using helicopter footage showing an not oft
seen angle of water approach to Fisherman's Wharf. They earn style points
for giving Julian such a spectacular view of SF, and for, admittedly,
making a more than token attempt at mocking-up the architectural styles
fairly accurately.
What do I NOT like about K:tE? Plenty, but what has me livid, as a
Forever Knight fan, is the absolutely shameless scavenging of beloved
details of Forever Knight.
A sexy, dark-haired, female vampire owns a hip nightclub. What an
original concept!! What does she name this vamp-and-human hangout? Why, The
Haven! Unique! Unheard of! And, though my recall is a bit spotty, it seemed
like a similar font style on the club's sign.I sure hope she's paying
Janette a franchise fee!
One area in which the Spelling thirst for lust and glamour backfired: the
bedroom scene between Julian and the Haven's owner. The female vamp was in
a clingy peach slip. This is the first time I've seen a prime-time tv
character who really was TOO thin. My mother starved herself to death two
years ago, and this woman's sternum, collarbone, and breasts looked
amazingly similar to the way my mom's looked toward the end. Spelling did
this woman no favors by revealing her emaciated physique. It was not, in my
opinion, sexy, and only served as an example that, occasionally, it really
IS possible to be too thin or too rich.
As though that weren't enough, she, in my opinion, simply lacks the
allure of our favorite female vamp. I just wasn't rooting, shamefacedly,
for her to seduce our protagonist. I ALWAYS root for Janette whenever Nick
visits The Raven, even though I ADORE Natalie, and I wish that Nick and Nat
find ultimate happiness together. Perhaps Spelling will send this pulseless
publican to Charme school. ;->
Another too-close-for-comfort parallel: part of the action centers around
a pair of police detectives. One partner is a vampire, and one a human. The
mortal partner is romantically attracted to a vampire, but, at the same
time, is unaware of the vampire co-worker's true identity/dinner
preferences. The vampire detective feels obligated to protect the mortal
partner from any other, potentially predatory, vampires.
Gee, sound familiar? What a unique and original concept, Mr. Spelling!!

If we are going to use specifics, you are right Candy one show does not have
anything to do with the other. However, in reality we feel it does and are
angry over the treatment this obviously inferior show got over the show we
love which is a better show.
1. Last year when USA took over the show, it has become generally known
that press could not be found to push FK. No one was interested in a "vampire"
show. Blah. So why does this vampire show get so much push? Simply because it's
Aaron Spelling. Nothing to do with quality of the show, or in our case, the
fact that there was such a loyal following didn't matter. No one was interested.
2. The possibility that Fox or another major network could pick up FK didn't
exist BECAUSE Fox was doing Kindred, so yet again, FK didn't even get the
possibility of a pick up and possibly it could be attributed to this show.
3. If it were a well done show about vampires, it could possiblly generate
interest in FK on the SF channel and perhaps bring about enough interest to
help push for a tv movie of some sort. But no, it has to be another lousy
Aaron Spelling, bed 'em and bite 'em, and it will probably put a damper on
interest in FK.
4. It just isn't fair that something has mediocre as Kindred can get that
kind of push, when a show that works so very hard to be good gets kicked around
(and us as well by TPTB). Ofcourse, this isn't the first or last time something
like this will happen to quality televions (Briscoe County being given up for
that yecchie show about the guy in a wheelchair by day, superhero by night comes
to mind) but it doesn't mean we have to like it.

Well, *if* we're being serious about trying to get the votes up, when
I checked in there were more votes for "LaCroix" than "Nigel Bennett",
so -- like GWD -- all the votes aren't being counted together due to
variations.

Well, I attacked the poll finally, and entered Nigel all five times.
Apparently a few other Cousins have been there, 'cause 10% showed up for the
general agreement #. Just putting in my 2 1/2 pence...

Subject: Poll standings
I just voted and checked the standings in the People Poll. It told me
12% agreed about Ger, who was my top pick. It didn't say about the
rest.
But the top ten list from the voting has Deb at #2, between Alicia
Silverstone at #1 and Gillian Anderson at #3. Ger is number 8, between
a tie for Jean Liao and Damon Albarn at #7 and a tie between Tasho Wong and
Gary Cole at #9.
I'd suggest going over there and keeping up the good work, especially
for Ger. Please note that the correct spelling is Geraint Wyn Davies.
It's a good idea to be careful because it's possible Ger's standing is
lagging from his name's being misspelled.
Note to anyone from USA who may be reading it, yes, Deborah Duchene. The
one your network said wasn't sexy enough to continue on Forever Knight.

Hi all!
You know that you have been *getting* to people by talking about FK to
much when...Your brother who isn't a fan, calls you at 1:00 in the
morning,LONG DISTANCE, to tell you "that dude that plays Lacroix is on
Lonesome Dove:The Outlaw Years" I, of course, propped open the eyeballs and
watched it!!
Also wasn't there a movie made back in the 70's called Trilogy of Terror
starring Karen Black? I am assuming that GWD movie is a sequel to this?
