I'm having a very un-cousinly thought <I hang my head in shame>
Is there a faction for everyone in FK living in peace in harmony.
Some examples: Nick and LaCroix make up, Nat and Janette stop getting
in catfights, LaCroix and Nat stop fighting, Nick stops angsting, etc.
I got a terrifying vision of everyone having a Brady Bunch like picnic!

Seems to be that in Dark Knight LaCroix comes after Nick wielding a meat
cleaver saying something about the ways a vampire can be killed, "fire,
stake thru the heart and decapitation" as he tries to cut off Nick's head.
So, I suppose that's canon - eh?

I just can't see faction members being called "The Troubled". Besides that,
while the relationship may be "troubled", I do think there is real affection
there, in spite of everything. (I think Nick has a love/hate relationship
with LaCroix.) I'm still pushing for The Unnamed. It has a mysterious quality
to it, that I think fits the feel of the relationship.

There's a group of us who chat about FK on America Online who will be joining
some fans who are attending the Syndicon in SF in a chat in the private room
"The Raven" tomorrow night (Friday) at 11 pm ET. They're having a party in
one of their hotel rooms and chatting online with us about the convention!
I can't make it, however... marital harmony, that sort of thing. Need a
night away from the computer! But have fun and if anyone logs it, please
send the log to me! Thanks!
All the discussions on FK vampire biology here and over on FKSPOILR, BTW, are
interesting! I love that sort of discussion though I haven't any thoughts to
contribute. I do love reading about it. Keep it up!
Did we ever decide we'd discuss the 1st season episodes once they start to
air on Sci-Fi Channel? I can't wait to retape these as my copies
(x-generation) are less than satisfactory! And as I came across mid-2nd
season, I'm dying to discuss these early episodes with y'all!!!

Subject: CROSS-POSTING: No!
There's been a distressing tendency toward cross-posting lately...
This is not a good thing.
The reason we have three lists is because each of them exists for a
specific purpose: FKFIC for fiction, FKSPOILR for spoilers, FORKNI for
everything else. These are fairly distinct categories; there should be no
overlap. Cross-posting is almost always unnecessary, and wastes bandwidth
for people who pay by-the-word/line/minute to get their e-mail. It's like
the emergency broadcast system: it should be saved for the most extreme
circumstances.
NOBODY should be posting the same message to more than one list, unless
they've cleared it with a listowner in *advance*. If it's important enough
to be posted to a whole bunch o'lists, it's important enough for you to
tell us about it first.
Okay? Thanks.

Subject: Re: Literacy?
Hi everyone!
Regarding the question of whether or not Janette can read, I think it
might have been possible. In the second season episode where Janette has
a flashback (was it "A Fate Worse Than Death?), I think it was mentioned
that Janette was "of noble blood" and that her husband sold her to the
brothel because she did not produce the son that he wanted. If her
family was of minor nobility, like the deBrabants (although she lived 200
years earlier), then she may have learned to read.
However, I have one question. That episode mentioned that if Janette
had been able to have a child, "she'd be living in England." Why would
she be living in England if she was French? If she married foreign
nobility, that would imply that she was of greater importance and lineage
than lesser nobility.
Any comments?

Lizbet... this is almost inexpressibly wonderful. *Thank you.*
However, wouldn't that imply that Nick and Fleur had half-siblings? If
so, why would Nick be so concerned with Fleur carrying on the family
line? I don't mean to disparage his regard for his mother, but wouldn't
those half-siblings be enough for the future of the family? And if those
half-siblings died, would Nick inherit, or would a relative of the first
wife be next in line? If Fleur, umm, married and had children, what
would be the status of those children? And would Nick really be able to
support his mother and sister by "knighting" (after all, his father was
already dead in BMV, and Nick wasn't surprised by the absence)?

To get Nick to stop angsting, someone like Marian Blackwing
psychically removes his guilt-feelings. To get Nick and LC to make up, she
deposits the guilt in LC, who suddenly feels just awful for the way he's
treated his son. Nat has a good, long talk with Janette, and realizes that
Nick is just too immature for her; Janette only gets by because he's her
outlet for her suppressed maternal instincts. Nat doesn't want Nick
anymore, so she and LC get on just fine. Reese conquers the water-cooler;
Tracy turns the Raven into the Bluebird; Vachon goes to the Academy...
And then Nick wakes up sweating blood.

I'd say he wasn't a great reader though. Most of the people I know who
enjoy reading (including myself) tend to amass a collection of books. There
doesn't seem to be a single bookshelf in Nick's loft - TV, videos,
computers, yes, but no books, not even a stack of unreturned library books!
Come to think of it, I can't even recall seeing Nick read a newspaper or a
magazine.
Reading also tends to be a lifelong passion - readers may change the *type*
of material they read, but never *stop* reading...
Re: Nick's education. I read somewhere that in the Middle Ages girls were
often educated more than their brothers (after all, reading was NOT a
valuable skill unless you were intended for the church), so it is possible
that Fleur was better educated than Nick. This would be especially true if
she had been educated in a convent, or her family had ever considered
dedicating her to a nunnery. Nick's knightly training, on the other hand,
would have begun at the age of seven, been highly intensive, and not left
much time for learning irrelevant things such as literacy skills. He might
have been taught to read in the vernacular, but he probably wouldn't have
learnt much beyond that.
I'll check out my books on medieval women on the weekend.

That would be canon, yeah. :-) (Things that make you go "duh!")
I have been whomped in the head; therefore, I forget stuff. That is
Jamie-canon. Right now, I am completely preoccupied with Remembering To
Buy A Bus Ticket To Toronto -- today is perhaps the third time that I have
*walked through the bus terminal* with money in my pocket, and never even
thought to purchase my ticket. I am deeply afraid that somehow I will
actually FORGET to go to Toronto. No, I'm not kidding. :-)
You want me to remember FK details? Uh-uh. That's what you guys are here
for. :-) This is embarrassing, tho', because Dark Knight is actually one
of the episodes that I remember with decent clarity... I'm pretty clear on
a lot of second season. Some of third. A little bit of first season.
Because I first saw FK *after* the head injury, not all of it 'took', so to
speak -- I've seen all the episodes; I just don't remember 'em.
Which is actually quite a wonderful thing; because as long as this
intermittent memory problem persists, I will ALWAYS have new episodes of FK
to watch. (Think about it for a moment. Uh-huh.)
In any case, I maintain that being squooshed is STILL not decapitation, and
need not -- necessarily -- cause death. (And you thought I wasn't going to
bring this post back on-topic.) Okay, you would figure, if the squooshed
vampire lands on a boardwalk ten minutes before dawn, he/she/it's in
trouble. But if it landed on ashpalt, right after sunset...?

Subject: Triangles
In the first, and especially the second, seasons
of Forever Knight, the characters formed a set of
triangles, each of which contained Nick. (Forever
Who?) We had the traditional "lovers" triangle of
Nick, Nat and Janette. We had the flashback
vampires triangle of Nick, LaCroix and Janette.
We had the law-enforcement partners triangle of
Nick, Nat and Schanke. We had the opposing-goals
-for-Nick's-life triangle of Nick, Nat and LaCroix.
We even had the different-ideas-of-good-police-
procedure triangle of Nick, Schanke and Cohen/
Stonetree. These triangular character relationships
make it easier to write interesting stories about Nick,
since he appears in all of them.
In the third season, all those triangles have disappeared
except the Nick, Nat and LaCroix triangle. You can
kind of put together a Nick, Vachon and LaCroix "boy
vampires" triangle, but we only see it used once, in
MBIAV. Any triangle with Tracy in it (Nick-Tracy-Vachon?)
seems to have Tracy as the focus. This year's best
episodes (NIQ especially) seem to use the old Nick-Nat-
LaCroix triangle left over from the two earlier seasons.
This season's relationships seem to be based on parallels:
Nick-Nat//Vachon-Tracy, Nick-LaCroix//Tracy-Daddy,
Vachon-Urs//LaCroix-Nick. They're not as nifty as the
interlocking triangles were, and they seem to make it
harder to write interesting stories about the main character. I
don't know how hard it would be to re-write the relation-
ships between the characters to interlock differently, but
it might make any possible fourth season easier to write for
if they did.
On a completely different note, the "Universe Next Door"
fiction challenge story I never finished had Sailor Tracy and
the Moonlight Knight vs. the evil forces of the Neg-LaCroix.

Y'know, I'm really beginning to regret that I mentioned this...
...NOT. But I am confused...
I must admit, though, every time I read "Prodigals", all I can think of is
the They Might Be Giants song, "Hot Cha". We'll eat and drink the prodigal
son.
Er, I think I'll take that to JADFE now. It didn't come over like that in
the song...

I'm already stuck with professional help. What if I decide to take part in
this special TV offer?

Jamie asked if there was any series canon on decapitation killing
FK vampires. Well, in Dark Knight, LC himself mentions it as one
of four accepted methods (the others being fire, a stake through
the heart, and the sun).

At the risk of firing the canon, what about acid or general strong
chemicals? Two other major types of burns are on here (sun, fire).
Technically, a good acid or alkaline makes the flesh dissolve into a puddley
mess. If this completely engulfed a vampyre, would it kill him/her? I
think so, just because of the massive damage it would cause and the fact
that the molecular structure would break down (please correct me if I'm
wrong. i've only had one semester of chem). This would not only destroy
the vampoyre, but the vampyric agent.

Subject: Another stupid newbie question
I've only had the opportunity to see about half of the 'current' seasons
episodes, and have tried to read all the FAQs, but how did Nick and Natalie
meet, and how did he come to get a job as a cop? I'm assuming Natalie had
something to do with it, but I could be wrong (yea, it's happened once or
twice). =)
Thanks

First of all, you're assuming that the writer's spent as much time
researching or are as smart as you guys are (not a chance) and knew the
things that you guys do. Obviously they didn't, or they just assumed no one
would pay enough attention to look further into it. See , you guys are just
too smart - you're the bane of tv's existence. TV execs, etc. write for the
great unwashed most of the time and don't expect the level of intelligence
that is on this list. There you go girls!!!!
