My apologies to everyone whose mailbox I messed up by having the incorrect

Hi all,
Did you get to see Nigel on his double exposure? He was not only on Crossings
on Tuesday, but also on an episode of Avonlea. Great to see him in such
diverse roles. Thought I would love to see him reprise Lacroix!!!!

Simple enough. Nick, in his efforts to blend in with mortals, has become a
master of disguise and is "aging" himself. Just like Lazarus Long did in
all the Heinlein stories, so he wouldn't have to move on as often as he
might otherwise. As would any other vampire who desired, for whatever
reason, to remain in the same city for an extended period.

Thanks Judy! How do you know that? And do you (or anyone else) know if
there are Forensic Pathology programs elsewhere in Canada? Or if there's a
regular (non-Forensic) Pathology program in Toronto? I've looked on the net
and I don't know where to search. For U.S. Programs, you can look at the
American Medical Association page, but there's no analogous area on the
Canadian Medical Association Web page!
Although apparently she inferred she did her internship in Toronto in
"Father's Day"... (thanks, JL for the info). Internship is the first year of
residency (at least here in the US... I'm assuming it's the same in Canada).
Maybe it's a very obscure continuity gaffe that no one would notice unless
they're trying to write a story about Natalie in residency and/or medical
school!

BH is "Black Harbour" -- the show Ger did after Forever Knight. It ran from
1996-1999. Great show, BTW.

This works for me. Depending where the story started, we could also use the
staking in LK as a reason for Nick to have aged. And perhaps excessive
feeding by LC to help Nick recover could have caused LC to age?
Or they could just do what LC did in AtA when he saw Divia. You know
something like "If I didn't know better, Nicholas, I'd think you had aged."
That way we could just accept any signs of aging and ignore them. There
*is* something to be said for the willing suspension of disbelief :-)

That would be my preference... Though I'd love to see Screed return, looking
pretty much the same (Greg really hasn't aged much, IMHO) and touting some

You know you've been watching too much FK when...or maybe under the
circumstances that should be "You know you haven't been watching enough FK

I was paging through a catalogue of...well...catalogues ("World's Greatest
Catalogues" or something like that) and saw one that I *thought* was called
"Carouche" (it turned out to be called "Cartouche"). And then I saw another
one called "Rat-a-log" with all things rat oriented and I thought to myself
"I wonder if Libby knows about this?"

Subject: Nat's internship
Yes, the medical education system is the same in Canada as in the U.S. :
college, then 4 years of medical school, then internship. While it's true
that interns who plan to specialize then do a residency somewhere in the
field of specialization, all graduates do a one-year intership in a hospital
after graduation from medical school. It doesn't have to be connected with
where the residency is done and in fact usually isn't. So Nat could have
done her internship in Toronto.
To put it another way, a general practitioner doesn't have to do a
residency, just an internship. It's like getting a Master's degree. You
might go on to a Ph.D. and you might get it at the same university, but you
don't have to.
At one point in a first season episode Nat's wearing a sweatshirt for, I
think, the University of Alberta. It's a university in one of the western
provinces, anyway. I always figured that she might be from the province in
question or have gone to school there. To me Nat feels more like she comes
originally from a small town or city rather than Toronto.
Besides, if her family is that far away, it might explain why there was no
one at the funeral who insisted on seeing Richard's body before burial.

Hello delurking for a brief period of time...
I was with my mother leaving a restaurant when lo and behold the little

Okay, sharing some humor and now going back into obscurity.

Most of the authors I've read in regard to the physical changes that occur
in aging immortals, feel that signs of aging do occur in vampires, just more
slowly than in us mere mortals.

NB doesn't appear in Lexx until series 3 (with bleached white hair), which
starts in the UK soon. Since there's a lot of continuity, you *really* need
to see them in the right order for them to make any kind of sense. It's
definitely 'adult' in content, though (as fair warning for those of a more

I have had a similar experience. There is someone in my area who owns a
pale green '60 or '61 Caddy, and my Mom was with me the first time I saw it
coming down the street. She thought it might be a good idea if I let her
drive for a while.

Actually, that's completely different than the way it is in the U.S. today.
McLisa is sort of right, because that's the way it used to be done, but
that's not how it's done anymore (for M.D.s). Now, after four years of
medical school, people go directly into residency. There are no such things
as G.P.s anymore. You can't get licensed that way now. *Everyone* has to do
a residency in something. However, first year residents are still
traditionally referred to as internship. I know this for a fact because I'm
currently applying for a residency in Family Practice, (and I know people who
are applying to American programs in Pathology who aren't doing an internship
either.)
However, the Forensic Pathology programs in the U.S. that I looked up seem to
be a one-year fellowship, which a doctor would do after completing a
residency in Pathology. So, Nat could have done her residency in Pathology
in Toronto (assuming there's a pathology program there), done a year of
Forensic Pathology somewhere else, then returned to Toronto.

Yup. Mclisa as usual is right on. Required PreMed in Canada
is 3 yrs, but most students will complete the 4th yr and
get a Bach of something before applying to Med School -
which is unbelievably competive. UBC has a School of Meds,
I dunno know if the U of A has one but as McLisa says she
could have done PreMed/Undergrad there.
I agree that Nat feels like a town/small city person. Did
she ever mention where her grandmother was from? Sounded
Eastern European to me which would be consistent with the
majority of settlers who went to the prairie provinces
(Little Nat on the Prairies, LOL).
OR
By the same token, if Nat moved out to Uni on her own
(likely considering her implied relationship with Gram),
she would have gone somewhere affordable and Alberta would
certainly qualify.
