Subject: Re: Loving FK from the start
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to say that it's amazing that FK has developed
an incredibly loyal following, despite being bounced around from network
to syndie and back again. For that reason, we are justifiably angry that
such a mediocre show as K:tE generates an enormous publicity push.
As for myself, I was hooked from the "Dark Knight" pilot and was
disappointed that it took so long to become a series. Eventually, FK
appeared on CBS latenight, with cast changes that made an interesting
premise for a show into a truly great weekly series with fascinating
characters. I was delighted that FK had finally arrived. All of a
sudden, FK disappeared to make room for David Letterman. Then, I finally
found it on the Canadian station. Plus, the local syndie started
carrying it, too. That meant that it was possible to see FK twice a
week. After that, USA came into the picture and you know the rest.
Would we have given it this amount of dedication if it had been merely an
okay show with room for improvement?

O.K. Now the terrible truth can be told:
You see, when JP was a small boy he got lost in the woods and spent
hours wandering aimlessly, lost and alone, surrounded by ever-lengthening
shadows of spooky-looking trees and patch after patch after patch...
... of *LICHEN*!
From that terrible day forward, he has not been able to look mold in
the face.
There is, actually, a lichen scene in *every* episode of FK ever filmed.
(Saner minds having prevailed, it was cut from everything but QoH and
POTM.)
The challenge then becomes:
*Write the missing lichen scenes!!!*
To start you off:
Black Buddha: Vachon to Screed "You cling to your rats like lichen

Subject: Re: comment on KINDRED
As I watched Kindred, I noticed several things that the writers have
"borrowed" from other vampire shows/movies, including FK. There was one
scene that took place in "The Haven", where it looked exactly like the
interior of The Raven in FK, complete with that identical kind of music
and smoky ambience, and even an upper walkway and staircase. I thought the
outside of the place looked suspiciously like The Raven, too. Also, at the
very beginning of the show, as the title credits are rolling, the camera
travels over the water and bridge of what looks like San Francisco, which
is virtually the same scenery shown at the beginning of the movie
"Interview With the Vampire". As this scenery is rolling by, the music
that accompanies it is very, very similar to that at the beginning of
"Vampire", also. (I know this because I have seen "Vampire" at least 9
times, and I have that music memorized. It is very haunting.)
I wonder if the creators of Kindred felt that they had to have some
similarities to FK and "Vampire" in order to interest those of us who
already follow one or both of those? Hmmmmm......
Just some observations. As I think I said in an earlier post, they don't have
Nick or Natalie, so it still feels like traveling in an unknown land.
I caught part of a post from someone who corrected me about the bathroom
scene in K:tE,
regarding the earrings. You are right, I re-watched that scene and saw my
error. Sorry! I didn't see the rest of that post as I deleted it by
accident - would you mind e-mailing me with the rest of your comments? I'm
sorry to have missed what you said. Thanks!

Okay, guys. We've talked about Kindred for awhile. It's time to stop now.
Here's one of the reasons why:

--------------------------------------
This is the result of a busy, busy list. Hey, it happens. No biggie. The
lists get full, the lists get held; a listowner releases it, no problem.
But when the lists swell to bursting with off-topic posts, the lists end up
being held MUCH more frequently.
And what happens if no one with listowner privileges is at home/awake/close
to a computer to release the lists? No one gets list mail, that's what
happens.
This, as you can imagine, is an undesirable effect.
When it happens a lot, the disk gets full; and when *that* happens, someone
in Pennsylvania, usually Laurie Salopek (everyone wave to Laurie!) has to
fix it. Which is an even more undesirable effect. And if we annoy the
people over at psuvm.... oooooh, majorly massively undesirable.
The "no off-topic posts" rule is, among other things, a way to minimize the
amount of traffic on FORKNI-L and its sister lists, **without** imposing
limits on how much a person may post per day. So aside from the mere fact
that "these are the Forever Knight lists", there are technical reasons why
off-topic posts are a Bad Thing. Especially when there are Very Large
Amounts of off-topic posts.
The last time I remember seeing the list exceed its limit was during the
heart of the first Save FK push. That was fine. Before that, it was War
#5. That was also expected.
But the lists should not be exceeding their maximum limit due to Kindred
posts.
------------------------------------------------------------
Besides... Some of you may not be aware that over at psuvm.psu.edu, there
is a hamster in a treadmill, jogging its little brains out; this hamster is
in fact responsible for powering the psu listserv. (The entire Internet is
in fact hamster-powered. Really. I have proof.)
The massive activity on the FORKNI-L lists are responsible for sending many
a hamster to the local veterinary insane asylum. You really want to damage
another hamster?

So let's wind it down, eh? Save a hamster -- take your Kindred chats to

Hi to Jackie, who's keeping track of the Vows for "if we get the rest of

49 hours and counting 'til I can stuff my face with pastel Peanut M&M's. :)
I've been very, very good. Unfortunately, it was just about impossible to
keep the Rollerblading on the lunch hour part of my promise. (Yes, I can
hear you... Atone! Atone! Well, fine, just wait, I'll do it soon)
Someone (several someones, the newbies are coming out of the
woodwork like ... like... cockroaches! no, like moths to a flame.. hmmm, no
good metaphors spring to mind) was asking about factions, and by extension,
Mercenaries.
Mercs will take chocolate for payment for dirty deeds. Or clean getaways.
Or total acts of desperation. Some of us aren't as fond of chocolate (!)
and they take other kinds of payment. Few of us take American Express.
OH! And here's our mantra (thanks to Dianne la Mercenaire, one of the few,
the proud, the *really* bribable): "Chocolate, freedom, mayhem for hire!"
A Mercenary is a Die-Hard who doesn't want to post their own bail. A
Knightie who cheats. A Ravenette who'd pass up a sale at Bloomie's for a
sale at Guns'n'Ammo. A Natpacker who prefers sneaking to bouncing. A FoD
who'd set a bomb while eating souvlaki. A Cousin who pins a tail on Uncle's
thong.
Speaking of which. I can't quite remember how that thread _did_ get
started---I think it just sort of naturally evolved from a mental images
discussion someone was having, and there was feather duster involved in
there somewhere... Anyway, I can get over this image.
The image I *can't* get over is the one of Lacroix on Rollerblades, vamped
out, with a cape on, screaming down a hill at 100mph. <gggg> Oh, man...

Hey, Katherine!
Natalie did get a mortal boyfriend for one episode, but TPTB weenied out
and made him a serial killer. It was in the first season episode Only
the Lonely. And as for how Nick handled it... you remember how I said
there were some scenes of OtL that I still can't watch? Yeah. Those.
Brrrr. I cringe to even *think* about it.

"Only the Lonely," season one. Golly, I love that ep!
Number five on the "Things Nick and Nat have in Common" list:
They've both survived relationships with psychotic killers.
(Oh, wait; Nick didn't survive, did he?)
How did Nick handle it? By finally coming to his senses and realizing
that he had *feelings* for her, and then deciding not to tell her so
explicitly... He can be just infuriating at times. :)
Believe it or not, my fellow newbies, but Nick and Nat weren't always an

Yes, I watched *it*, you know, that show we're not discussing. Besides
every other awful thing that has been posted about it (with which I
completely agree), their are the actor's *voices*. Bad dialog, bad acting,
nonexistent plots, even rips off I expected and could have handled, but
both the actor who plays "Luna" and the cop have the tinniest, silliest most
annoying voices... Luna sounds like he's from Brooklyn (no offense
Brooklynites) and doesn't want to sound like it and took elocution lessons.
The actor who plays the cop (who's last big screen credit was some awful
offensive thing about med school I think) sound like he belongs on a cartoon
series.
Maybe I just have a hang up about this but (OBFK) all the actors on FK have
these wonderful, expressive, sensuous voices. (Going back to put on FK

Subject: The Other Show
Ok, so in the interests of a) seeing what the competition has that FK
doesn't, and b) general promotion of vampire-related stuff to give FK a
boost if we ever need to go "but see, vampires are the IN thing right
now!!", I actually made myself sit through Spelling's *ahem* program. I
won't call it a quality program, however. This thing made Ricky boy's
version of Nick Knight look positively Oscar-quality, and that is something
I never thought I would say (this is coming from someone who drooled over
Rick Springfield when they were a teenager mind you, so I'm not likely to
just bash his acting for the fun of it - I have always been willing to give
him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm not blind). Can someone explain to me
why I sat through an hour and a half of this supposedly vamps-r-us show and
have no desire to see it again? At all? I saw only the last half of "Last
Act" the first time I saw an FK ep and was hooked. Mind you, that was the
FIRST time I ever came into a series mid-season and became hooked (and it
hasn't happened since, either). Perhaps the reason I didn't like it was the
crummy acting? Vampires that acted like bad stereotypes? Plot that made no
sense? If nothing else, seeing what was for me the best character go
toasty-marshmallow would have killed my liking for it right there if I had
had any other reasons for liking it. After seeing this show, I am now
convinced that TV is ruled by name recognition, not by any quality
recognition. We've been working our rears off to keep FK going, and this
bit o'fluff gets prime time just 'cause it has Mr. Spelling's name on it???
I have to say, even the worst FK ep ever made is better. If I could stomach
it, I would keep watching it, just because of my two earlier reasons, but I
must say, it is so bad that I can't. That wretched thing might just be what
it takes to get me out of my "everything-must-be-vampires" kick, where I've
read & watched everything that even hints at a vampire storyline. But I
doubt it will turn me off completely from it - there's always FK, which IS a
well-made show.

believe they're showing the last four FK episodes right away! I know
this is good news for some people, who would not see them otherwise,
but I don't think it bodes well for drawing in new fans, which is what
we (listmembers) and they (TV execs) BOTH want, supposedly. Whatever
were they THINKING!?!?!

Those were in flash backs, yes? He and Nat have also tried
litovuterine, which was some kind of drug given to -- sit down for this
-- cows! He went out in the sun, ate food, got a helluva sun burn. I
think that was "The Fix". But there have also been "cures" that he's
stumbled on that he's either given up on or dismissed. I think that's
what people are talking about when they say he becomes easily
discouraged (at least some people). In NiQ, Nat was excited and
encouraged by the possibility that his amnesia would make him mortal
again. But Nick ended up being discouraged once again.
FO>sure he'd love an "instant cure". Who wouldn't? But particularly with Hans
Well, if you have cancer or AIDS, of course you want, and deserve, an
instant cure. But my problem with Nick wanting an instant cure is that
becoming mortal doesn't automatically atone for his past. Getting
"cured" only makes him not a vampire anymore. It doesn't instantly
erase the fact that he's killed people AS a vampire. I'm one of those
people who doesn't have a problem with vampires killing humans, but Nick
does. He'll still feel guilty about what he's done if/when he's mortal
again.
FO>but expressing impatience doesn't mean he's going to quit.
Well of course not. ;) That's a big theme of the show. They'd have
to chuck Lacroix's cool monologue at the beginning, and somehow, it just
wouldn't be the same.... "He was brought across in 1228 and preyed on
mortals (humans?) for their blood... But now he's mortal again, so go
watch The Brady Bunch or something instead." ;)

Better known as, Really Sick In The Head You Know You've Been
Watching/Reading/Writing Too Much FK and Sailor Moon when you suddenly want
to do a crossover, and have Uncle take out that annoying little pink haired
girl and her Auntie Mame cat once and for all. Hmmmm... could he be the
true leader of the Negaverse? I gotta write...
Still wondering where this stuff comes from, and what Nick would look like with

Hmmm... how about a cue from H.P. Lovecraft (and Margie) and just call it
The Unnameable?
Really, it's not such a bad movie, especially the second one...

Colin asked:

>*liked* it!!!
Ditto. However, there was too much disagreement due to people not liking
the show, or not wanting to think of P&B in, ahem, THAT WAY. "Are you
pondering what I'm pondering, Pinky?" "I think so Brain, but this time YOU
wear the tutu."
I still want it for a subfraction.

Bwahahaha! I'm everywhere! I'm coming soon to a vehicle near you!
I now know FK is totally taking over my life. Everything -- and I mean
EVERYTHING -- reminds me of some fic I've read, some post I've seen, or
some episode I've watched. It's like a vampire, sucking away my life...
and I like it! Muahaha!

seen FK, "Only if you want to implode!" She just stared at me and told
me to go pay the check before the guys in little white coats came and
got me.
