Actually, that's a good one. I like how Nick is dressed this season much
better than in the other two (really). I also think he looks much better
than the previous two seasons and he has good hair days more often. Uncle
has been looking great this season also.

I also think that, overall, the directing this season has been... I dunno if
'better' is the right word. Nicer, maybe. The direction is clean and
everything is edited well.

The flashbacks also actually have something to do with the story, which
wasn't always the case in the previous seasons.

And no, I don't think the third season is better, just different. All three
seasons are very different, but I think that's a *good* thing. Each season
has a slightly different emphasis, and IMNSHO it keeps the show fresh. And
yes, of course I miss Schanke and Janette. Who wouldn't? But then I still
miss Stonetree, so... (I was brought across by the season season, BTW. By
"Father's Day", to be exact - it was also the first episode I saw.)

True.  But the plane in BB exploded *in the air*.  Vachon could have
survived that explosion by being more on the edge of the blast or
something like that.

>He lives in a dreary apartment and doesn't urinate.

Well, I don't know that everyone would describe Nick's apartment as
"dreary".  And as for the "doesn't urinate" comment, we've never (to
my knowledge) been shown whether that's actually so or not.  Nick
has been shown to have blood in his body and the ability to sweat.
And there are indications that he can also be sexually active.  So
he may be able to urinate as well (since he has other body secretions).

He may even be able to "step two" for all we know. :)

I mean, most television shows don't dwell on such matters normally.

I don't think Nick is regarded with much respect in the vampire
community.  He gets "sneered" at by younger vampires when he goes
into the Raven in other episodes (For I Have Sinned, Curiouser and
Curiouser, for examples).  I think he's been tolerated for two
reasons (Janette in first season, LC in subsequent seasons).  Some
younger vampires may be wary of crossing him because of his age, but
I think more of them probably consider Nick a bit "strange" for wanting
to be mortal again.  As Amy pointed out, LC tells the vamp Nick wanted
to "fang and bang" in SoB to not say anything.  But I think it was
more to protect *LC's* reputation and she complied with his "request"
out of fear of what he'd do to her if she didn't.  LC didn't want it
to get around that Nick would act so uncontrollably.

Picking up on Dr. Funke and others' discussion on Nick's (and other vamps')
bodily habits (especially elimination):

Sandra, after a very rational discussion of above, pointed out:
>I mean, most television shows don't dwell on such matters normally.

True. But the scriptwriters did expressly say that a vampire has a
heartbeat about once every ten minutes (I Will Repay). Given that a human's
average resting pulse tends to run in the seventy beats per minute range,
that means the human-to-vampire bodily function ratio would be
approximately 700 to 1. If the ordinary human goes to the little room six
times a day, then by extrapolation, a vampire would go once every four
months or so. This also means female vampires have the luxury of having the
curse only once every 54 years, give or take a month.

No, I'm not really being serious, in case you were wondering. <g>

On Mon, 8 Apr 1996, Janice Cox wrote:

     Now, whoever said clean-cut can't be sexy?
    (Waiting for Knighties to stake your opinion, indeed! <vbg>)
But, seriously, we all know that we think Nick's attractive as a human,
because we think Ger's attractive (I choose to swoon over Nick only,
however, because Ger's married; aren't technical distinctions fun?); the
question becomes most interesting when applied to Natalie.
     Nick and Nat think that they're in love.
     Why?  Well, first, they each find the other attractive, not only in
the way that CD and GWD are attractive, but in Nick's natural attraction
as a vampire, and in Nat's natural attraction (to a vampire) as food.
Because of their moral standards and self-images, they suppress that
second aspect into the first, and thus intensify it.
     Second, they are good friends.  It is important to remember how
comfortable they were in each other's company before everything got
so tense (the tag of UTV, for example, or the "house call" in FF).  They
were pals long before they realized that they wanted more from their
relationship (OtL), much less before they finally tried to have more (BMV).
And because they are both lonely, their friendship has assumed enormous
dimensions in each of their emotional lives.
     Third, they are symbolic in each other's eyes.  Natalie represents
mortality to Nick.  Redemption.  She is humanity, daylight, growth and age
and children and true death.  She has become wrapped up in his mind with
what she's trying to bring him, something that he's been searching for for
at least a century, and something he's periodically regretted losing since
the very first night he lost it.  Nick represents security to Nat.  Despite
all the dangers she's encountered since he came into her life, he has always
protected her, rescued her, defended her.  And he is, himself, safe, because
his self-control is much stronger than he credits -- he will not endanger
her, and she knows this.  Until he achieves mortality, or she becomes a
vampire, their relationship cannot really progress, and that is also a kind
of security for Nat, who has had so much loss in her life.
     Fourth, they expect the best of each other.  Nat gets frustrated and
even angry with Nick when he backslides, because she believes he can be
better.  Nick *needs* someone to believe in him like that, because his
guilt often prevents him from expecting the best of himself.  And Nick is
always surprised when Natalie doesn't understand something he's going
through.  I take this surprise as evidence that it's the exception, and
that the rule is an empathy amazing in light of Nat's non-vampirism.
     Fifth, when Nick lost his memory (NiQ) he said that he felt
something special -- "something good" -- between them.  This feeling,
imho, could not consciously be supported by anything but physical
attraction or true love, as he remembered nothing of his -- or their --
history.  And it seems (to me) unlikely that he would have chosen to act
on it in NiQ unless he believed it to be more than mere chemistry.
     Now, as to whether Nat would still be attracted to Nick as a
mortal...  I think that what they have been through together in the past
five years is a stronger bond than the vampire magnetism that would be
lost.  And the dark corners of his personality would never be entirely swept
out, no matter what kind of redemption he found -- everyone is both good and
evil, and we saw Nick untainted by vampirism in QoH.  He would not suddenly
cease to be fascinating.  However, the stasis of the relationship would end;
it would have to either grow or die.
     And, as Sandra has pointed out, that would be the true test of
Natalie's feelings.  I think she's up to the challenge, but I admit it
would be a challenge, and that it would take courage for her to take it
up.

Just time for a quick observation: No one has yet (that I have seen, anyway)
pointed out my favourite BB scene: The one where Nick, in the midst of the
plane crash, realizes that Schanke was on board, and his legs give out
from under him. The scene is heart-wrenching; just the right amount of
pathos without being overdone. (I'd give Ger a Gemini for it. :) )

When I answered the original post by private mail, I proposed the following
theory:

Should the explosion have killed Vachon? Not unless it incinerated him, and
there were a lot of bodies that weren't incinerated (they could identify
everybody). Plus, a mortal baby survived it too, with nary a scratch. The
explosion probably just caused rapid decompression,lots of flying debris
and poisonous gas, and a disastrous reconfiguration of the plane's
aerodynamic structure. Not healthy for mortals, to be sure, but certainly
not fatal to a vampire.

Also, as to how did Vachon find his hand amongst the parts: easy. It was
the only one that didn't bleed human blood (an easy smell for vampires to
identify).

While I'm as wowed as anyone by Ger's good looks and talent, IMO Nick's most
consistent, overriding motive is not to become mortal, but to have it
all--real love, all his powers, eternal life/youth, the wisdom of the ages
(though he has not fulfilled his potential on that score).  He is not all

that admirable. He shows little moral courage. He hangs out with the "bad
crowd" he supposedly is renouncing, lies to himself and others, keeps a good
woman hanging, provides incredible successes for the police department so
that their evaluations of their work and methods must be skewed. Of course
all this makes for drama. In real life, an exceptional woman like Nat would
have thrown the waffle out.

     Goodness gracious, Nick is taking a lot of hits lately! :)
OF COURSE Nick is flawed.  He has faults upon faults upon faults.
Everybody does. LC is manipulative; Vachon is a slacker; Nat can be snide.
And we love them all anyway.  And other characters love them anyway.
Because their good traits outweigh their bad ones.
     Nick shows moral courage every single time he does not plunge his
fangs into the neck of the week.  And he resists more often than not.
     Nick shows moral courage every time he tries a new cure, despite
innumerable setbacks, which Janette (The Fix) thought should have
disillusioned him long since.
     Nick showed moral courage when he refused to bring Natalie across
(AMPH), when he allowed the "cop" to replace the "beast" in FTB, when he
"turned himself away" from Emily in STF, when he stood up for Schanke as
a "real cop" in AN, when he talked LC out of bringing Fleur across (BMV),
when he *gave up* his relationship with Nat for her sake in the tag of
BMV, when he fought the demon in SoB... and many, many more.
     Don't you love it when he takes the burgers to the street kids in
DK? When he gives the harp to the museum in QoH?  When he helps his
friend disappear in FitP?

     Janette: "Yes, he does seem that way, doesn't he?"
Well... yes. He tries to be a good man. And that is darn hard for a vampire.

Nick's worst faults are selfishness, arrogance, and impatience. I enjoy
watching him try to conquer them. Goodness knows, I have faults enough of my
own in those areas.  And Knighties are as sensitive as anyone else to
criticism of their leader, you know...

Why else would she have been in danger?  Well, if she was a young
vampire, maybe because Nick with the strength of his age could have
torn off her head and destroyed her (LC says decapitation is a way to
destroy vampires in Dark Knight)?  In the bar, I thought she might
be a mortal too.  But once she vamped out, I took the scene as it was
show (it didn't cross my mind that Nick was hallucinating that she
was a vampire).  Also, I don't recall any of the sound effects they
use for hypnosis being used by LC when he told her not to say
anything about what had happened.

I'm curious now to see that scene again though. ;)  Just to make sure.

Say what?  Remember the bomb was in the cockpit.  I'm not familiar with
the specs on a commercial airliner (fuel is usually in the wing section),
but the explosion happened BEFORE the crash and for there to be a
BIGGER explosion, the airplane fuel would need to come into play I would
guess that this would happen after the plane hits the ground.

In other words, here is how I saw it happen.

Bomb in cockpit goes "boom" pilots die, plane falls like a rock.  Plane
hits ground and breaks up into little pieces.  As far as fire/explosions
I didn't see explosions, but there was definantely fires.  So we really don't
know if there was "BOOM" during the crash.  If there was, I would guess
those sitting on the wing section (Vachon would be here remember he likes
the roar of the engines <sigh>) would get toasted.

HI! Im not sure how to tell the listserver my new address, it keeps sending
it back, anyhow my new add. is horcgal@u....... If anyone wants to
relay a message. I also wanted to know, someone said that LaCroix never
taught anyone else how to bring someone across properly and thats why Nicks
"children" all were psychos and stuff, but Vachon brought Urs across I think,
and she is fine. Dont holler at me, Im new and I only came into FK in the
middle of the 3rd season!!! I guess this next statement will get everyone who
likes Nick mad at me but, I think he is a bit of a snob. Not because he has
more cash or anything, but maybe it is like an age thing like someone else
said. I remember an ep. (dont holler! I can never remember titles!!!) where
Nick got cocky with Vachon in the stairwell of the apt. where Tracy was
watching that stripper girl from the Raven. Vachon went to talk to Urs
outside and the girl attacked Tracy, When Nick got there he kinda got in his
(vachons) face about "Now dont let another thing happen to her!!" As if it
was Vachon's fault. He (Nick) was kinda talking down to him like he was a kid
or something, so thats why I say the snob attitude is an age related thing. I
hope that show was still under spoiler protection!!!! Im sorry if it was.
Also, (I know, Im getting annoying) is SciFi going to rerun ALL the eps. of
FK starting from the 1st season? I'd love to see this Black Bhudda show that
everyone is talking about, along with a few others. Ok, I'll end now, I hope
my new add. gets to wherever its gotta go so I dont miss too many postings!

But wouldn't that be somewhat counterproductive eliminating food like

Nope, you're not the only one.  The long lines also mess up other kind of
mail readers including Eudora.  In fact, I believe it's in the faq about
how to format the fiction.

Yes, clearly Silence of the Lambs. But a ripoff so perfectly adapted to

Does anyone know if Human Factor has already rerun in syndication? If the
new shows start in late April, there will not be time for it to rerun!
Maybe they plan for it to be in the summer. (Hopefully!)

In addition, does anyone have the Canadian versions of season 1. I know,
I know, everyone asks so just add me to the list of beggars. I also need
about 6 shows from season 2. I think I lost a tape..:(
