This was one of the names that was suggested several months back. In fact,
I think I was the one to suggest it. ;) But it got outvoted on the grounds
of being too incestuous. And I agree, really. Because the relationship is
much more complex than just father and son. Besides, when you abbreviate
it, it comes out "S&L" -- savings and loan.;)

Subject: Excerpt from new Top Ten List
I posted this on the SKL loop. There are no actual spoilers here. I've
edited out the ones that might contain spoilers.
(Excerpt of) The Top Ten Other Stories That Were Considered For the Last
Episode of FK:
10. Nick and LaCroix change their names to Jake and Elwood Blues and start
a rhythm and blues band. To complete the band, Nat changes her name to
"Aretha" and the three of them perform gigs while "on a mission from God."
9. June Cleaver wakes up in a sweat in 1959, rolls over in bed and informs
her husband Ward: "Honey, I just had the strangest dream about the Beaver.
See, he was a vampire cop in Toronto..."
8. Toronto is revealed to exist inside a huge alien spacecraft and that
vampires are the galactic equivalent of lab rats. Nick and LaCroix are
horrified to discover they have been the subject of an advances species'
experiment on the effect of licking hallucinogenic toads.
7. La Cage LaCroix: LaCroix owns a cabaret where vampires pretend to be
humans pretending to be vampires.
6. Nick wakes up aboard the Millenium Falcon, heads to the cockpit, and
tells Janette and Vachon: "I had the strangest dream. Janette, you were my
sister. Vachon, you were a slacker. And I had this wicked father who kept
wanting me to come over to the 'Dark Side'..."
5. [Spoiler]
4. [Doesn't make sense without #5]
3. Reese finally gets the watercooler to work, and finds out that it wasn't
a watercooler at all, but really a portal to the space time continuum, and
out pops Schanke, Cohen, [Spoiler names], and a very startled Elvis Presley.
2. Nat changes her name to Dorothy, Sidney changes his name to Toto, and
Nick changes his name to the Tin Vampire, but LaCroix refuses to change his
name to the Wizard for fear of people calling him "Wiz."
And the number one other story was:
1. C'mon. You know who wrote this top ten. You can guess what kind of
story it was. ;)

Subject: Nick's Personality
Look, I know that Nick is very popular and that there are many
women out there who have major crushes on him. I am wondering if there is
anyone else that finds him wishy washy and would like to tell him to "get a
life". Stop worrying and fretting about what he is not and use what he is
to its full potential.
I find LaCroix much more interesting. He pretty much is what he
is. Except that neither him nor Nick will admit just how much they really
mean to each other.

That was so funny, Tippi! I've mad that connection to Star Wars
before.
How about this:
Natalie is a member of the Capulet family. Nick is the son in the
Montegue family. Lacroix is Nick's father and hates the relationship
between the two of them.
In order for them to be together, Natalie pretends to die, so that
after her death she can elope with Nick. Nick, believing that
Nat is dead, kills himself.
Lacroix stands looking over the dead bodies, saying
"There was never a tale of greater distress than that of
Natalie and her Nicholas."

I like the LaCroix for much the same reason. Although I do think that he
does admit how he feels about Nick. Nick is the prodigal. The wayward son
that must be brought back by any means neccessary. That is the reason he
follows Nick around as he does.

From: Todd Larsen <tlarsen@a.......>
Subject: Re: Nick's Personality
Well, this finally has gotten me to get over my fears and delurk. In
response to the posts about Nick being wishy washy and needing to get a
life: This is what I think. I'll use an analogy.
Nick is like a really fat man who wants to be a really skinny guy. This
may not even be possible (build, genetic factors, etc.) but he really
wants to be thin, so he puts himself on a very strict diet (knowing diet
success rates are very low.) He deals constantly with hunger, fatigue,
headaches, depression (no more twinkies to drown your sorrows in).
Sometimes he must wonder if the struggle is worth it. Sometimes he must
decide it's not. Sometimes Mrs. Smith's pie wins out over the carrot
stick. Like any real struggle, he makes headway, then falls back a bit.
He'll only lose if he gives up.
I don't think Nick is wishy washy--on the contrary, he must have
admirable fortitude to undertake this struggle for so long and do as well
as he does. It's this conflict (and all his other ones) that make him so
fascinating and *real* to me.
Also, I feel that sometimes Nick is kind of walking around in a fog. My
theory is that when Lacroix brought him across some of those blood
vessels in his neck never healed properly and he sometimes has trouble
getting oxygen to his brain. I also use this theory to explain why
sometimes Nick just has to go to sleep--whether he's on a stakeout in a
church or in the middle of an argument.
Also, YKYBWTMFKW . . . we had a financial advisor at our house the other
night and every time he would bring up the cost of taxes he would use the
phrase *Uncle will ding you*. And I couldn't help smiling and thinking
*yes, he certainly would*.
Also (Sorry this is soooo long), if Victoria Meredith is out there, would
she email me and tell me what happened to the season 1 and 2 transcripts?
Thanks!

>>> How about the closeup of the hands from the Sistine

This idea really does bother for several reasons.
1)Probably mostly because I'm not religious, and I wouldn't be comfortable
wearing something with such clear religious connotations.
2)(I know this might seem contradictory.)
Even though I'm not religious, I respect people who are. I know I
shouldn't speak for them, but casting LaCroix as God really does seem
like too much to me.
3)I do want something that denotes the strong bond between LaCroix and
Nick. However the different ways we see the relationship, surely we all
see it as a very strong bond? I think the two hands clasping forearms
shows that much more clearly than the God and man picture.

I came up with the name The Unnamed Faction specifically to accomodate
all the different ways people see the LaCroix/Nick relationship. I see
it as a very loving friendship and a parent/child relationship, but not
as an erotic relationship. I have no problem being in a faction with
people who do see an erotic relationship, as long as they're comfortable
with me being in the faction. I don't want people to feel that the
faction is exclusively for people who see an erotic aspect to the
relationship, and to feel uncomfortable joining the faction for that reason.
I don't think this is what Tippi meant, based on the e-mail that she sent
to people interested in her e-mail mini-loop, but maybe some more
clarification is in order?
BTW, I sent this to Meredith, who is working on the Affiliations FAQ, as
a suggestion for the description of The Unnamed Faction, and she indicated
she would use it. Does this explain it more, and is this ok with people:
"The Unnamed Faction is for people who like the relationship
between Nick and LaCroix. Members see the relationship in a
number of different ways, as a parent-child relationship, as
as a friendship, as an erotic relationship, as a loving
relationship, although not an erotic one, etc. Some members
see the relationship in a combination of different ways. All
points of view are welcome."
Tippi also wrote, in another post:

I hope we don't have do this, because the LC/Nick relationship is so complex,
that we could endlessly fractionate ourselves. I think it's going to be
a lot more fun if we can manage to stay in the same faction.

Nooooooo! Cousins (hey, Cousins, support me on this) are people who
believe that Nick *should* "give in to who he is." They are followers of
Lacroix, the tormentor, not Nick, the tormentee. <g> (Although I think
some Cousins think it's Nick who is yanking Lacroix's chain by refusing to
be a good son.)
I just enjoy the drama caused by the tension between Nick and Lacroix. I
*don't* want Lacroix to win. I'm not even a Dark Knightie! (No, Nick,
*don't* become a happy vampire! Keep trying! Keep brooding & angsting!)
OK, I'll admit I'm a sick puppy. I love Nick, but I also love the fact
that Lacroix keeps tormenting him. I really do need therapy. ;^) And
I'm beginning to really worry about having to explain all of this to Nick

Jean didn't contradict herself, she merely stated that there are SOME
PEOPLE which believe that Nick should give in. She wants him to keep
fighting for his humanity.

Hey gang! I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but I've got
a pile of digests still to wade through. What is the snail-mail address for
the sci-fi channel HQ? I've sent e-mail thank-yous to them, but I'd love to
send snail mail as well.
Thanks hugely!

Subject: Last Knight Pictures
Hi all!!
Just wanted to let everyone know that I finished putting up screen captures
of Last Knight, all 81 of them, don't worry tho there is a zip file
included (649kb) so if you want them all at once get the zip or if you just
want to pick through them one by one you can still do that too.
I included a link to the Winzip homepage wish has information and stuff for
those who don't know anything about .zip files.

tired:) I'll include other episode pictures later.

Subject: Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Nigel Bennett (1/2)
Or: How FK Saved My A**
I received a great compliment the other day, and since I owe it partly to Mr.
Bennett, I thought I'd share it with y'all because I wantcha to be happy with
me. It's amazing the little ways FK affects your life, really. (This is sort
of a long set-up for a short punch line, so I'm going to divide this into two
posts.)
What you need to know about me is that I tend to be Invisible. You know what I
mean: easy to overlook, easy to ignore, good at blending into the woodwork.
It's an old survival skill. Sometimes it's still helpful. But when I want to
be noticed, being invisible is really irritating. My family and friends have
all heard me complain that I have no charisma and no presence and I don't know
how to get any. (My brother got it all: he walks into a room, and even if you
don't see him, you know *somebody* has entered the room.)
What you need to know about the context is this: I'm working on an M.A. My
program requires a "business practices" course. So I ended up by some cosmic
default in a graduate-level business course, the goal of which is to analyze
"live" (read: real, in-development) laboratory technologies for possible
commercialization. It's a 3-credit course; should be 6. Reports were due every
week, big final report due at the end of the semester. But the major
grade-buster (50% of the final) was a presentation to the students, the
faculty, and all the researchers and technology transfer people and government
and venture capitalists and other Big Guns involved in this program.
Two of the six people on my team were experienced in this kind of
presentation. I was not one of them. I am a language person. I was willing to
research, write, rewrite, edit, compile, and publish any or all of the group
reports, but I absolutely, positively, did not want to be the presenter.
(Please don't throw me in that briar patch, B'rer Bear!) I wanted to be
Invisible.
Well, real life intervened, and guess who got stuck giving the final
presentation? Ya. There were a few rehearsals in small classrooms with the
team, the team's instructor, at least one other instructor, and whoever else
happened to show up. A standard overhead projector was supplied. I lived
through the rehearsals but gained no confidence.
