Well, I went to see "Dead Man" last night, and Gary Farmer was great in it.
The movie as a whole is definitely very peculiar, but I enjoyed it.
I went with a woman who didn't start watching FK until second season, so
she'd never seen GF before. Now I definitely have to get her to watch my
first season tapes.

Subject: Topic: Nick as non-vamp cop
Hi there everyone--
I've been mulling something over ever since I started watching FK lo those
many years ago...
If Nick and Nat succeed in "curing" the DNA twist that makes Nick a vamp,
would he remain a cop? Imho, he would be quite vulnerable. He first became a
policeman as a vampire; he's been a vampire cop off and on for the last 50 years
(re: Amateur Night???). All his cop responses and refexes and insights and
intuitions are the result of his vampirism, even tho' he _did_ go to the
Academy.
If he were not a vampire, I don't believe he would be safe as a cop. He
relies on his abilities and indestructibility to enforce the law. If Nick
weren't a vamp, Tracy would have been dead at least 4 times this season (and
she still doesn't know!! Maybe in AtA??).
Maybe Nick would go back to teaching...
Let me know what you all think. Sorry if this is an old topic rehashed. Just
curious what other people think. A fellow Knightie and sometime Cousin and I
have been tossing this one back and forth.
Thanks all--
Toni

Subject: Re: Daylight
>"These vampires can EVEN go out during the day"? (re Kindred)
I kind of prefer the FK/Anne Rice no sunlight vampire, myself. It adds the
vulnerablility factor and limits the hours of activity. According to what
we've seen in FK, Nick, et. al. can function during daylight hours; they
just can't be in the sunlight. AR and Dark Shadows vampires (correct me if
I'm wrong, folks) are *dead to the world* from sunup to sundown. Nick was
able to go testify in court and roam around inside at the Raven or cult
(Faithful Followers) without being found out, as long as he didn't
spontaneously combust inthe sun.
I like it that way. It keeps them noctural and deliciously spookier. It
seemed weird seeing them out during the day in Kindred. But that's just
MHO.

Nigel is at Syndicon this weekend with P.N.Elrod plugging something (a book
I think) that they're working on now (it's expected to be out next January).
It is a story about a vampire but NOT Lacroix! It has no Lacroix in it
(they said). Nigel said he was surprised to discover that he could now
earn his living writing soft core porn. Aparently he got to write all the
love scenes in it and Elrod wrote all the gory fight scenes.
They thought it was funny that he couldn't(wouldn't) do the violent stuff.

Nigel is co-authoring a vampire book with P.N. Elrod. Others will no doubt
elaborate on that more thoroughly than I can.
But in addition, there was a fanfic story nominated for a Fan Q award on
which Nigel was credited as co-author; it was about this that he posted to
tell us he had nothing to do with it. (And his name has since been taken
off the Fan Q voting ballot, I've noticed.)
These are two wholly separate matters, and I hope that this clears up any
lingering confusion.

There's something of an FK double standard here. Most Vaqueros, myself
included, love Vachon's long curls. In fact, I think he'd look strange
without them (though the Shrewtherers report Ben Bass looks just fine with
short hair, thank you very much). But I far prefer Nick's hair shorter,
when it shows its tendency to curl (see the front of the FK CD for an
example)--it makes him look even more irresistably, eternally young and
roguish. Plus, a man with shorter hair looks neatly groomed even if his
hair isn't "done", and FK vampires (with the exception of Vachon, of
course) seem to take pride in looking sharp. The way it is now, he looks
much older (long hair shows off any thinning that's happening), and I'll
bet it has to be sprayed within an inch of its life to keep it neat. Of
course, Nick could be *trying* to look like he's aging so folks don't get
suspicious. Or, more likely, GWD could have been growing it out for Trilogy
of Terror or the Shrew.
The worst Nick's hair has ever looked, IMO: the ep with the psychic (Love
You to Death?) when he flashes back to the Puritan era. Hair long,
straight, parted down the middle and flattened. Eeeeyaugh! Of course, that
look is popular among young men now. Am I showing my age?

Hi there--
Stephanie writes re: Nick's hair...
>> Nick could be *trying* to look like he's aging so folks don't
get suspicious.
Maybe. But it could be that Nick _is_ really aging. In many vampire
legends, the vampire becomes "run-down" without large doses of the red
stuff. Nick's intake has been restricted (Nat reminds Nick in Fever) -
even if he has been chugging a bit more since SoB and TGVP, all these
years with the lower blood intake could be manifesting itself in the
way Nick looks. I agree that Nick looks much younger with short hair.
Just re-watched DfF - oolala. And the flashbacks were lacking those
dreaded extensions. Also since Nick has been on cow's blood for a long
time (100 years??), perhaps he's missing some vital nutrient or essence
that only human blood can provide.
That's my two-cents on how to explain Nick's appearance (other than the
obvious that Ger has been working hard)
[In an off-topic aside - sorry - and speaking of extensions...does
anyone know if Adrian Paul's hair in HL is really long or short? I
think it's shoulder-length, but in some flashbacks it's short. Is he
wearing a wig?]

Ok. I'm going to jump into this debate. The worst hair ep was "Stranger
that Fiction".
Nick and Janette both looked like they stuck their fingers in light sockets.
I didn't like the Puritan hair either but StF beat that one out. The best
hair ep was Curiouser and Curiouser.
One question that has always bothered me was why did they give Schanke the
"Elvis sidburns" in the first season?

I had to delurk tonight to add my voice to others I have read here who
have said that if given the opportunity by all means go to a con attended
by Nigel. He is very funny, very charming and very friendly. I saw him
at his later appearance on Saturday. He read part of the second chapter
of the book he's co-writing with P.N. and read the story of why a raven
is black from "Blackwing" (which Nigel said he liked to refer to as
"Darkwing" as in "Darkwing Duck"). I've never had a problem
differentiating an actor from his character, but I still was fascinated
to watch the subtle change Nigel undergoes from his "normal" persona into
LaCroix, as he did while reading the raven story.
And since I'm "out" so to speak, I have a question that's been nagging me
for quite a while now. Does one have to apply for membership into a
faction or does one just announce that one is a Cousin?

Alright, I have to put my twonie in here. LaCroix's eyebrows... just
what *is* the deal with them. It looks like they were shaved off and
drawn on with a very badly matching eyeliner pencil. There is no way that
his hair is anywhere close to that shade so it looks even more fake.

Well Nat, now you'll get some support. I've posted before that I like Nick's
hair longer. The difference in the third season as compared to the second (he
had hair approximately the same length in the second season) I believe is the
way it is styled. In the second season the sides were swept back and the back
of his hair was curlier (is that a word?). This season his hair seems to have
received less attention from the set stylist. Whether that is due to time
constraints is anyones guess.
I love his hair anyway I can get it.
BTW, I liked the length of his hair in TTOTS. It seemed, appropriate.
Besides, as the performances wore on, his hair became more and more damp from
Ger's perspiration. Poor boy was a workin' doncha know.

Well you know you've got my support, I agree that it doesn't make Nick look
any older. There is a great deal of weariness on his face, and I (actor
that I am) tend to believe that it is an actor's choice on Ger's part to
relate how weary Nick is right nw. It has nothing to do with his hair.
Ofcourse, he might actually be a little weary because of the ridiculous
shooting schedule TPTB put them thru, but I do sense it's more character
development to lead him to whatever happens in Last Knight.

Is the Spoiler List being held? If someone's online now, would you email
me and let me know if the spoiler list is working?
I just saw AtA and wanted (needed) to talk and voila! not one spoiler list
item in my mailbox. Did I magically get unsubscribed?
Thanks.

Well, might as well jump in with my two strips of latinum. I don't know if
it's a case of men with long hair not looking neat... I think what it comes
down to is, long hair works on some men and doesn't work on others. (Same
with women.) Now, this is just MNSHO, but I think that Nick looks really
good with very short hair (like he had at the beginning of season three) or
really long hair (like he sometimes has in flashbacks, for example the
"Fever" flashbacks). What doesn't work for him is that in-between style,
where it's not long enough to be called 'long' but too short to look good!
He always looks like he's been plugged in or struck by lightning or caught
in a hurricane when he has that in-between hair length.
(Now long, short or in-between all work for Adrian Paul. Long and in-between
work for Brad Pitt. I could go on... but I think I'd better shut up now.
This is all just MNSHO, remember!!!)

Okay, Nat, I'll jump in here in your favor!! I do like longer hair on
guys, *if* it is clean and kept combed/brushed. I especially like it when
it's wavy and thick!!!!
And to the someone who asked about Adrian Paul's hair... His hair is
long. In flashbacks where he has to have short hair, they either put him in
a wig, or pin it up somehow. (I think I'm remembering the discussion about
this on Highla-L correctly)

Subject: Last Knight Party/Wake in Chicago
I've decided I don't want to be alone when I watch "Last Knight" next
weekend, so if anyone in the Chicago area is interested, I'm hosting a
Party/Wake next Sat. night.
The episode airs at 11:35 pm here. The party can start whenever anyone gets
here. I've also got oodles of tapes. I'm providing food. I plan to wear
black. Kleenex will be provided.
E-mail me off-list, please, if you're interested. I live in the SW suburbs
and have crash space if you want to stay over.

Nat!! asked:

Actually, Nat, I *love* long hair on men. The day my brother joined the
ROTC was one of the saddest days of my life. And when a dear friend of mine
went back into the military reserve and cut his shoulder-length hair and
shaved his beard, I honestly cried.
I love Vachon's look, wild or no (although, like Apache, I dearly want to
get into that stuff with a good brush!). Nick with longer hair is
*adorable*, and I *do* wish they'd been able to do LaCroix with long hair in
several flashbacks -- quite frankly, his buzz cut *doesn't* work in several
time periods (Fever, as a prime example).
>Why is the "men with short hair" thing so "in" these days?
The way I understand it, Hair got consistantly shorter in the earlier part
of last century, for both men and women, as a sort of revolt against the
monstrous wigs and hair styles of the late 1700s. Then it got somewhat
longer, and the Cult of the Beard got going. Then everyone went very
clean-shaven in the early part of this century (another revolt) and certain
segments of society have decided that that's the way things will be for a
while. In this day and age, men aren't supposed to spend a lot of time of
time on their appearance -- that's "feminine". So, styles have generally
evolved so that men can at least *look* like they haven't taken that much
time. And so they can tap their foot and look at their watches and sigh
while women fight with mascera and pantyhose.
Ah, for the good old days, when *men* took two hours to get their cravets
right, and *nice* girls didn't *wear* makeup!
