Subject: Re: Why do you watch FK and rambling...
Not because it's a vampire show - until last winter, I would not have
thought it possible to care this much about a show featuring a
"vampire cop." It's the wonderful combination of story, great acting,
and marvelous production (and all on a shoe-string budget!).
As I wait for the viewer-friendly (not) 1:00am showing on Sunday night/Monday
morning, I think back over this past week. One friend asked for a few
FK tapes while she's on vacation next week - so I gave her 3. Another two
wanted AtA - good thing I tape it on both VCR's. When one of those was
returned, another friend asked for it immediately. GNP/Crescendo sent my
recent order for 4 FK CD's, which I distributed to those at work who
requested it. I'm the FK "supplier" for all my friends at work. Of the 8
people I work with directly, 5 of us are FK fans, 2 of them 3rd season
converts.
I'm absolutely enraged and heart-broken that FK hasn't been given a fair
chance to shine. The basic reasons - poor time slots, almost zero
promotion (and what promotion I saw was misleading), no marketing (as in
merchandise!), hardly anyone in the US
that I know personally knows how to program their VCR, and for some reason
they like to go to bed before midnight or 1:00am in the morning. If FK
had been treated by USA like FOX has treated the X-Files, it would be a
bona-fide "hit" today. I firmly and emphatically believe this.
If I can "bring across" 15 people in three months with all the handicaps
mentioned above... STOMP, STOMP, STOMP, KICK!!! (Sorry, but I'm upset.)
As soon as my printer comes back from the shop, more letters will go out.
I'll keep tilting at windmills. What's that saying? "Better to light a

Subject: Why I watch FK (a pseudo-essay by Me)
I'm a second-season childe (White Wolf term for a newly turned
vampyre); I don't remember if the first episode I saw was BMV or AMPH
(probably the latter, as the toga stands out in my mind).
I've studied, read, created, and loved vampyres since I was about
two years old. It started as an interest, and in the past two years has
turned into a mild obsession. However, the majority still tend to be
bloodthirsty, maniacal, raving lunatics or old Romanian counts, all as
dimensional as a sheet of tissue paper. I'd heard of FK in an TV Q&A column
in my local paper, became interested (although frustrated, as times and days
weren't listed), and eventually ran across it one night while playing on my
dad's computer.
I must admit, I started out as more of a Knightie than a Cousin.
Nick was shown as more developed, he was the primary character, I thought he
was drop-dead gorgeous. I was also rather depressed at the time, I remember
(seasonal allergies); I could relate. LaCroix seemed like a grouchy old guy
who just wanted people on a leash. Nat was just some lady who worked in a
morgue. I liked Schanke, though. Schanke was cool; he liked Greek food,
too. I came into my Cousinliness about three months later, during reruns,
when I began to come back to myself a bit and realized that all of Nick's
angsting annoyed me.
By now, LaCroix's hold on Nick had become more of guidance than
force, and his bluntly vampyric personality was merely expression of who and
what he was. I'd also taken a bit of a liking to Janette, although in a lot
of ways I still saw her as a female LaCroix (a bit sharper, a bit more
refined, and with a bit more compassion, but still...). About here, USA
started advertising FK. I was ecstatic; I would get to see it twice a week,
and I might meet more people who liked it.
That was the last time I trusted a network to take something
beautiful and make it in It's Own Image (now you know a major reason why I
was so pessimistic about Kindred). When I watched Black Buddah 1, I
thought, 'this is okay, but not like last season. MAybe it'll get better."
It didn't. I was excited about the OKC bombing being mentioned (I was only
40 miles from the blast site, and the ep made me realise how far the "shock
wave" had actually gone), but it wasn't what I was used to. I waited,
LaCroix wasn't LaCroix anymore, Schanke was gone. Nat was depressed or the
like, and Cohen had been killed. Still, I watched. It was FK. It had to
get better.
In January I finally got the Internet account I'd begged three years
for. I roamed the web for about a week, and eventually checked for FK. A
few hours later I was subscribed to some strange lists called FORKNI-L,
FKFIC-L, and FKSPOILR. My most vivid memories of them include reading
bunches of mail from someone called Wicked Cousin Tippi. Yes, Tip, you're
one reason I hung around. You seemed cool. You are. All of you are, or
you wouldn't be watching. The rest, as it may be said, is history, present,
and history yet to be written.
Now for the main reason I'm writing this: Why I watch FK. I can
relate to it. I've been there, all of it, in my own way. I know the way
Nick angsts; I'm like that on a seasonal basis. I understand Nat's
frustration with Nick, how she can love him but still be on the brink of
giving up sometimes, and the way she tolerates with ever-shortening patience
the insults (ignoring her regime, ignoring her, etc.) he flings at her, just
because she wants to help him; I've known it since June 2, 1995, when I
asked Seth out. I've been Tracy, the new person, trying to make a good
impression and not considered the greatest authority. I've been Janette,
the meld of amorality and compassion, where nothing stands in the way of
what you need to do and who you need to be, and the dark past which forces
you to go on (different past from Janette's, but shudderingly similar). I
understand Divia, and how hatred can grow from a seed. Vachon and his
semi-cynical wonder of the world; Urs' blind, trusting innocence; Screed's
liveliness and enthusiasm for what he is. Most of all, though, I understand
LaCroix, and how a dark, poetic, cold, and logical shell can be the layers
of stone around a grain of sharp black sand. I think this may be why all of
us actually watch and love the show, the characters, why we choose factions.
In a way, they aren't figments brought to life by humans, they're us. They
represent our dreams, hopes, pains, loves and losses, our deepest selves and
what makes us go on to the next day in this broken little world. In one
word: recognition.

However, I don't have nearly enough (imho) material on second and third

I'm looking for both big important things (how did Nick & Nat meet? or
how vampires are made) as well as smaller concerns (Schanke's favorite

Since we seem to have a bunch of newbies join us recently (Welcome!), I
thought I'd post this again. Ger Wyn Davies has done 2 audio books. If
you would like to hear his wonderful range of voices and some creepy
stories, I highly recommend them. As a bonus, you get to hear how he
pronounces his own name!
The first book is called "Hauntings" and consists of several short
horror stories by American authors, about 2 1/2 hours in total. These
include "A Watcher by the dead" by Ambrose Bierce, "The Fall of the
House of Usher" by Poe, and 5 others.
The second book, recently released, is called "Forebodings". Running
about 3 hours in length , it includes "The Oval Portrait" by E.A. Poe,
"The Yellow Sign" by Robert Chambers, and 3 other stories.
The books are produced by Tangled Web Audio, which has several other
interesting audio books.
You can find out about prices, etc by e-mailing <

"Hauntings" is introduced by Ger as "Read by Geraint Wyn Davies".
"Forebodings" is ended with a blurb by Ger that mentions "Hauntings" and Ger
says "which I also perform". I think between recording the first and second
collection it dawned on someone that Ger doesn't just read the stories. what
he does is far from reading. Beyond the wonderful range of his voice is the
inflection, the tone he brings to these stories. My personal favorite is "The
Upper Berth" on the "Forebidings" collection. I could listen to that story
performed by Ger over and over again.
To put another way, they are simply wonderful. If you haven't gotten them,
do. They are a real treat.

Subject: Re: Why Do YOU Watch FK?
Time for me to join!!!
>Granted, we've got some pretty good genre TV on right now. So why did you
watch FK?
We *had* some good genre stuff. Most of its not as good as FK was.
>Did you watch it more for the vampire than the cop shop?
>More copshop than vampire?
>Equal time to both?
Though I think that neither one was the primary reason, I'd say that vampires
played the most important part. Way back when, I used to see FK listed in
the TV guide, but I was imagining that it was just another one of those
late-night-halfass-soft-porn TV shows like "Silk Stalkings," et al. Then, I
was reading a silly book called "The Complete Vampire Companion," and it gave
a synopsis of FK. So, I soon checked the show out (it was the middle of the
second season) and started to really like it.
Later on, to tie in with what many others have said, it was the combination
of the look, the character interplay, the intelligent writing, and the music
that kept me interested.
>Did you want more flashbacks?
>Less flashbacks?
>Equal time to flashbacks and current day?
I think they did the flashback just about right, timewise.
>Would you have liked to see historical stories with no current day (or very
little)?
Possibly, but only once in a while. As someone else said, I think it was the
relationship of the events of the past and the present that made it all work.
>Would you have liked non-historical flashbacks (like C&C or STF)?
I'm not sure. I guess if they were done well.
>Did you watch for one character in particular and which one?
No. Not any one, but the standouts were Nick, LaCroix, Janette, and Natalie.
Did you watch for one relationship pair in particular and which one? Or more
than one?
Has to be the Nick/Natalie relationship (I'm a romantic), though the
interactions of all the characters were interesting, to say the least. I
think that they could've been a little less reserved with some of them,
though, a little less coy with the romances.
>Yes, these points may seem moot as we view the final episode, but the novels
will be coming up. God only knows what the content will be at this point.
Or if people will even be interested in reading FK after the last episode
airs. But I'm kind of curious.
Anyone know who is writing these? And for what company?
Well, that's my too sense for now. Thanks fer lissening.

I just watched Last Knight (snif snif... pass the Ben & Jerry !)
I need to join Knighties Anonymous. What is a Knightie who is
also a cousin to do after that episode?

Subject: Thanx to everybody at the IRC Party/Wake (no spoilers)
Hi everybody
Just a note of thanks to everyone who visited the Virtual FK Last
Knight/Wake on the IRC. It was great getting to meet you all. We
came up with some great ideas, shared the loss of a really great show,
and basically had a good time.
I hate to single anybody out because everyone was so wonderful. But
I want to offer special thanks to:
* Ridinghd (who took ops while I watched FK LK)
* Mickey who gave us a place to hang out
* Vanguard and Sorcha who stayed for the whole party
I am particularly grateful to Sorcha who orignated The Sorcha Theory to
Explain LK, a theory which I am currently clinging to like -er- a lichen
to a stone. (How often do you get to use that expression in a
sentence?)
Anyway, thanks again to everybody for making my Last Knight
night bearable.

Thanks, Leigh! I just finished watching "Last Knight" and a nice, ordinary
second-season question like this is *just* what I need. :)
Janette was a whore in Paris. 10th century, I *think*. LaCroix kept her from
being raped by a couple of soldiers, then followed her back to her pimp's house
and brought her over. He didn't give her a lot of details, just promised
"Without your permission, no merely *mortal* man will ever touch you again" and
she went to him. The next flashback we see is Janette's first kill-- her
ex-pimp. I cheered, I really did. (The SOB had just beaten another whore to
death because she had the nerve to get pregnant, and was in the process of
raping a 'new girl' so she'd have to work for him...)
The episode is "Fate Worse Than Death". Wonderful 2nd season ep, one of my
favorites.
More details by private e-mail, if you want.

You know you'be been watching too much Forever Knight when...
You walk by a sign announcing the latest shows at an auditorium
and one of the shows is a magic show and one of the magicians is named....
"Nicolas Night!" And you say to yourself, "Oh, so that's what Nick would
be - a magician - if he wasn't a cop." :) At least he can explain his
"flying" and other "tricks." ;-)

I have downloaded and am using the Macintosh version; but, have not seen
the Windows version.
The Macintosh version is flawed by having a fixed border, which
essentially defeats the purpose of having a screen saver. It involves the
Forever Knight title (purple lettering for "Forever" and red for
"Knight") bouncing across a white screen of a fictitious television (the
border I mentioned). The TV has "www.sony.com" at the bottom, probably to
remind us of who we should blame for allowing the cancellation of Forever
Knight. Wasn't that considerate of them?
I do like the basic concept; however, and will probably spend the next
few days seeing if I can't hack into it to remove the border, and change
the color scheme. If that works, I will attempt to use some of the
Forever Knight quicktime movies in additional FK screensaver modules.
I'll let you all know how it goes.
If a Windows programmer would care to collaberate with me, we could try
to do something similar for Windows/Intel based computers.
Finally, since I'm still waiting for the PowerPC native version of Linux
to come out (due out this Summer for Nubus based Power Macintoshes), I
have not yet had the opportunity to see how UNIX machines handle
screensavers, and would appreciate any input.
Sincerely,
Lane Lombardia

Nat would be a princess who was dying of a strange illness that had only

Racing Snail, Vachon and his sleepy bat, Aristotle the wise turtle, and
who can forget the two loveable gnomes, cohen and stonetree... Janette
would, of course, be the sphinx that Nick came to for all of his answers
(as always). Throughout his mission he would have to deal with LaCroix,
the Nothing's minion, who's one goal was to stop Nick from saving Nat and
the kingdom from destruction. Nick would learn, with LaCroix's help, that
all Nat needed was a new name and the faith of a real person. Real Nick,
would have been reading everything that has occured from a book he stole,
and would know exactly what to do. He would shout his dead mother's name
out (which no one would be able to understand, even with closed
captioning). And everyone would live happily ever after...
