Subject: Whatever happened to the Caddie?
I was on the SOSFK web site and the notice about the auction of FK props
caught my eye (well, the listing for it, anyway).
So it set me wondering... Did we ever find out what happened to the two
caddies?

It's that big, liquid eyes and the long flowing hair thing she's got going
on. If FK were Japanimation, would Nick then have long blue hair? Schanke
would be that one requisite short chubby (not that Schanke is... um...
short) sidekick they often have in Japanimation.

Canada isn't part of France. France lost Canada during the French & Indian
War, in the early 1700s. To England.

No, it's one of two official languages, but most Canadians (with the possible
exection of Quebecois) speak English as their main language. Certainly that's
the dominant language in Ontario. :)

Subject: Practicality or deeper meaning
Hi all!
I've been reading the interesting explanations re: the use of same sets (Hi
Amy!). I must say, I thought there were only 5 - 6 houses in all of Toronto!
Have y'all noticed that just about *everyone* livs in the same high rise
apartments w/terraces, or that spooky-looking house?
I know they had to save money, but yeesh! (not my word - thanks George, for
teaching me). Maggie Dwyer in BMV and Erica in LA both lived in the same
house. The psychic (Diane?) in DtKY and the lawyer in DbtLotM lived in the
above-mentioned high-rise. There are others, but you get the point.
Can anyone give a "non-practical" explanation? (Amy??) I know: it's
eddies in the pools of the space-time continuum, bringing all those involved
with vampires to the same place at the same moment.

Subject: Themes in FK -- Addenda
Thank you to all the nice people who responded (on list and off) to my Themes
in FK post. Never ceases to amaze how many varied and sundry interpretations
can arise from a single very *well* written (and acted, and produced) TV
series. So, a few additions:
Pathos / strong character empathy
Betrayal / rejection / trust
"Having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting" (Be very careful what you
wish for...)
Rebellion
The fragility of life
Fate and defiance of fate: refusal to accept the supposedly inevitable
Struggle to overcome limitations
Love-hate relationships
Parent-child relationships (thank you, Margie)
Love vs. lust ( " " " )
Making choices -- particularly very hard choices (Margie's again)
(I'd also add making the *wrong* choices, and dealing with
the consequences for same)
Children and generation (thank you, Susan)
About the first list, Diane Gates Thomas sagely commented:
>Hi Jean, You just described life. Di
:-) Yep. More to the point, what we really have is *FOREVER KNIGHT*
describing life, in all its dark & beautiful, strange & wonderful aspects.

I have a question that I'm hopeing someone on the list can answer for

means I might be able to talk them into tapeing FK for me. However, they
don't have a schedual, and I don't know when FK starts playing on the
SciFi channel, or what days and times it's on. (I'm in NM btw if that makes
any difference on times.) So, does anyone out there have this info, or
know where I can get it? Thanks,

Forever Knight is scheduled for Monday Nights on the Sci-Fi Channel. The
easiest way to check the Sci-Fi Channel Schedule is at:
http://www.scifi.com/
They have a schedule bot which gives program times.
Also it is still in syndication and pops up on regular broadcast channels.
It is worth spending time just reading through a weekly tv listing like the
ones that come with most Sunday newspapers. It often shows up between the
late nite infomercials.
Hope this helps.

I did. I think Vachon more or less walked straight out of anime as well.
In fact, in anime, Nat and Vachon would look like male/female versions of
one another (not so outlandish--check out Ranma 1/2). <g>
I like the idea of an FK cartoon, but I like the idea of an FK comic even
better. In fact, way back when, when I first got into this whole thing I
had a whole dream about FK that was done all in comic book panels. There
was a story too that actually hung together sort of, but the art was very
interesting. If anyone's read the Sandman Midnight Theater book (my dream
was long before that book came out *and* long before I started reading and
collecting comics), it was like that --sort of dark, chalk drawings or very
murky watercolor but with some sharp clarity in places. It was neat. Wish
I could draw.

Subject: The Gag Script
Earlier today, someone (forgot who; sorry) admitted ignorance of the
exact implications of Uncle Wiggley's appearance in the gag LK script.
You're welcome to create whatever demented puns please you, of course, but
considering the large number of talking animals wandering through the
piece (hamster, falcon, boxing baby-kangaroo) I took the reference as a
direct one to the famous Uncle Wiggley of children's literature: a large,
kindly, talking rabbit, who is always surrounded by innumerable rabbit
children. (If I remember correctly, I do believe he drove a convertible,
though it wasn't green....) <g>
And that's why Nick sneezes. :-) He's allergic to rabbits! :-)

There's a 50's series of books about Uncle Wiggley. Uncle Wiggley is a rabbit.
Uncle Wiggly, Nurse Jane (I think. Also a rabbit, I think.) The Skeezix, a
thin, evil character. Some other evil character (I think) with a long
name that I can't remember. Other assorted characters that I can't remember.
I remember something about a trip to the beach, everybody piling into an
old car, but that's about it. This is far back in my childhood. Obviously,
I remember very little about it, but I do remember I liked the Uncle Wiggley
books.
Of course, the reference in the blooper script could still be a eupemism.

Subject: nRe: Nick and Horses
I, too have been admiring GWD's skill with horses. As a longtime dressage
rider I look at seat and hands--GWD's not bad, good posture, doesn't flap
his elbows as some other actors are known to do. However in QoH when he
rides away from De La Barre (sp?) he can't get the horse to transition from
a walk to a canter without going through a rather awkward trot and some
emphatic kicking and vocal commands. That's a no-no.
So he gets about a B- on riding skill in QoH. I ain't complaining,
though--he's tons better than most actors. (Another good rider is Adrian
Paul, who gets to ride a lot in flashbacks).
As to why those horses spooked in the Dr. Frankenstein ep, well, sometimes
horses just do. They're like that. Ask mine. Or maybe whenever a vamp has
to ride a horse he whammies it first to be calm (wish I could do that!).

Hi Due South Fans,
Last night I watched The Promise on C.T.V and then on Friday I watched
Red Green, or in Canada I asume called "North"I loved every second of
both shows. I have the V.C.R. set to go both nights all summer long.I
will have a good supply of reruns for the winter here up North in Prince
Albert,Sask.Canada.
I am just wondering if we should all E-Mail Paul Gross & David and see
if they personally both want to change directions in careers??I really
think that they have it made with Due South if only some very smart T.V
network would hurry up and pick up on this large audience response.
People here all know Due South,and are aware of Red Serge mounties.
In real life they and other police put there lives in danger for our
protection.I really think the show tells us that they protray the
good,the bravery and concern for all citizens on this planet.
It was Police week here in Saskatchewan,and they were everywhere, doing
what kind officers do protecting "us"....The displays etc.tours and all
made it very safe.We are so lucky!!!
I feel very sad having a R.C.M.P. killed in line of duty,and I too send
my Prayers to the family to Eastern coast.

Subject: Due South's numbers
Hi all!
Just came back from part one of my sister's high school graduation
things (this was the mass and reception, yes, a Catholic school that's
why the mass.. the actual cerimony is on Sunday.. anyhow) and I was one of the
few singers in the choir we had. Here's a tip folks, when your allergies are
so bad that your throat is swollen and your voice sounds like a frog (slightly)
it would probably be best to NOT do two hours of powerful singing, then sing
at the top of your lungs along with the DJ music at the dance afterwords
untill midnight. Needless to say I have NO voice and it even hurts to
breath!
I'm supposed to sing in my choir tomorrow at church (I'm a co-choir-director)
but I doubt I will... anyhow I;'m digressing here. What I wanted to say was I
came back and downloaded my mail rather than go to bed like I should have <g>
and I wanted to comment on this:
>>Someone posted that the viewership of DS had gone from 54 million the first
>>year to 10 million the second year.Did I misunderstand that?
then AnnieK wrote:
>Actually the person who posted the drop in viewership from 54 million to 10
>million was in error, a simple transposition of numbers. Here's the facts:
um, I wrote that <g> I didn't mean to be wrong I was just transcribing what
was written in Entertainment Weekly that day. It did seem rather odd to me
that we had 54 million people watching. Yet they also have 2million people
watching Seinfeld last season and 31.6 this season. 6 million watching
Friends last season and 28.0 this season.... ect, the numbers seemed really
out of whack to me. So I apologize for writing falsities <sp?> Forgive me?
(hey can you reallt hate a gal who cannot speak and is pained when she
breathes? or swallows? or coughs *which I do a lot with these blasted allergies*
um, while I'm here my I just PLEAD quietly and ask if anyone can offer my some
tios on how to combat allergies (to trees/grass/pollen/all that stuff that's
blooming these days!) normal medication seems to have no effect... thank you!
:)
oh WAIT!! I just reread the article... <bonking myself on my head with my OWN
dead otter> Yeah, AnnK you were right.. :) sorry! the RANKING fell from 54th
to 93.. :) I get it now I read it wrong.. sorry again!! :)
so why Im going to still post this letter I have no idea, but I am :)
night all!

I looked at the Family Channel schedule recently to see if Bordertown
was still around (the premise of Due South is very much a latter day
Bordertown -- it also had an American sheriff the Mountie worked with).
It's not still there, and the dearth of variety in their programming
strongly suggests there's not much money there. And since Due South's
problem is a financial one, the Family Channel would not appear to
be an optimal target.

Subject: Good news for German viewers!
This evening, I called RTL2, the tv station that broadcasts DS in
Germany. And -- tamtaratam -- I was told that they will repeat the
first season from Wednesday, July, 31. on. :-)))))))
There is no exact schedule yet, but they told me that they will
broadcast daily one episode!
Unfortunately, the lady I was talking with, didn't know, if they
bought season two episodes and if they are planning to broadcast
these episodes.
Hope, they will do this (season two hasn't been shown in Germany,
yet)!
Just wanted to share the good news with you.
Ray ;-)

Subject: Re offer to tape Ger's Outer Limits
Hi all,
Sorry to waste bandwith, but I've received WAY too many request to do this
through private emails. If I can do a tape for you, you've already received
private email from me. Otherwise, I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'm no
longer set up for dubbing, so I can only tape from the TV and my VCRS are
now all spoken for. But good luck in finding someone to help.
