The problem had been that previously designed experiments to test cats' ability to see color had not been sufficiently interesting/profitable to the cats for them to deign to participate. Whether they see colors in exactly the same way we do is something else again. How was "Nick Vision" produced? Did they just turn on one of those red lights photographers use in their darkrooms? B.

The uppity Americans I was referring to were the ones who had the nerve to burn the Canadian capital,York (later Toronto) in the (North American) War of 1812; of course, the Canadians who had the gall to torch Washington in the same war were equally uppity. ;-) And I'm fairly sure that Nick & crew qualify as all-Canadian-- under the "Canadian content" rules established by the Canadian Radio-Television Commission (CRTC)! :-) For which I am very grateful, or I might not be getting the chance to see FK in reruns. In Canada, a certain minimum percentage of all broadcasts must be "Canadian content" or the station risks losing its licence.

Oh, kinda like Nick's DIGESTion since he insists on consuming moo juice of a read type-o-variety??? "Not tonight, Janette, I'm on digest...." (Well, all the wee lil' ratsies h'are laughin'!) > The uppity Americans I was referring to were the ones who had the nerve to > burn the Canadian capital,York (later Toronto) in the (North American) War > of 1812; of course, the Canadians who had the gall to torch Washington in > the same war were equally uppity. ;-) Something just popped into me noggin and it wuzn't a blood vessel... When us Americans travel up to Toronto, does that make us UPpity? If a Toronto resident went into nothern Ontario, would that person be UPpity? When a vampire takes to flight, does that make him or her UPpity? --Libs X<:8( )----------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 23:18:04 EST From: teri delong <darius4evr@h.......> Subject: Re: New list member >From: Angela Gottfred <agottfre@t.......> > > For which I am very grateful, or I might not be >getting the chance to see FK in reruns. > Wait.......Y'all still HAVE FK reruns playing up there????

I just came back from the second performance of "Hamlet," which was even better than the first. Afterwards there was a reception where I was able to hang out with other fans, and Nigel was very kind about spending time with us. A great time was had by all, and it was amazing to see how vibrant Nigel is on the stage. I will write more later.

There wa a specfic reson for the color. Mr. Nicholas Grey told me at LCA that the color was chosen because black didn't show up on the filming. The green {actually San Ramone Turquoise] was used as it photo/filmed better, and there was now glare on the production tapes from the color. So it was a color to BENIFIT the good looks of our favoruite vamp....Nick. Make him look real good behind the car with the sexy fins. Remember Vachon said it first.

No offense intended toward the CaddyWhackers or anyone else for that matter, but that line just cracked me up! Funny thing is, I used to hate that weird color or anything like it when it came to vehicles (seafoam green was a popular Ford color for awhile there). When I first saw Nick's caddy, I hated it. I hated the fact that it was as big as boat, and I found the color nauseating. But as time went on, I began to like the "Batmobile-like" monstrosity...in spite of its color! The Caddy is almost a character in the show, and I love all the characters...so becoming fond of the Caddy was pretty easy. Now....I find myself searching the highways and byways for a glimpse of greenish '62 caddies. I've stopped people in parking lots who drive rag top Cadillacs that range in years from '59 - '63. I even convinced one older lady to open her truck (she drove a 1963 blood red Caddy with a white rag top)...just to see the truck space. And no...I wasn't looking for vampires. It was the middle of the day, and I'd have been so ashamed if I had inadvertently fried a vamp out of curiosity. (And yes...I do know the difference between real and fantasy. Even my psychologist says so! <g>) Oh...and Vachon was right: Fins on cars are sexy!

He wasn't on the fourth > because he would have been too young. Well the fifth was 1227/1228 A.D. a The fifth Crusade (our numbers, not theirs) was called by Pope Innocent in 1215. The first large part of the army arrived in Acre in the spring of 1218. They took the city of Damietta -- a great triumph. A second big wave of men arrived in 1221. Nick could have been part of the second wave or he could have been among the individuals and smaller bands of crusaders that continuously made their way east. I like the idea that Nick came out as part of the group in 1218, because then he would have experienced the triumph of the taking of Damietta, as well as what happened later.... But if JP says 1220, then Nick only heard stories of that victory from his fellow crusaders. In July 1221, some 5,000 knights and 40,000 foot soldiers (not counting unarmed pilgrims) met the Muslim force. In the ensuing months, a number of factors, ranging from sheer stupidity to the inexorable seasonal floods of the Nile led to the surrender of Damietta and the end of the Fifth Crusade. The Sultan generously fed the Christian army after he lifted the siege. He also agreed to return the "True Cross" -- but in the end he didn't, because no one could find it. (Hmmmm. LaCroix' work?) That doesn't mean that Nick would necessarily have headed back to Europe that year. Christians held land in the east, so it wasn't as if he would have spent almost 10 years sitting under a rock somewhere. And we need that long span of time to cover Nicholas' aging from de la Barre's aide-de-camp to the thirty-something crusader whom LaCroix brings across. During those years, Frederick II kept promising to come out to liberate Jerusalem -- and not coming. Pope Gregory IX finally excommunicated him -- twice! In fact, we might imagine that one reason Nick decided to return to Europe in 1228 was that he was fed up with the whole mess. In the end, the Sixth Crusade was actually settled by diplomacy, not fighting. This may add a certain amount of irony to the "Victory" toasts he and his companions are drinking in Paris. BTW, in no case would Nick have ever actually set foot in Jerusalem as a mortal. The sultan did extend that privilege to one fortunate Christian: the monk, Francis of Assisi. ----- Mary mcombs@e.......

But that's all > guesswork on my part. Another possibility is that Nick and Fleur are children of their father's second marriage, and that Nick is the eldest son and therefore his mother's heir. Even though TPTB couldn't afford to pay for household retainers and servants in the flashbacks <gr> it's clear that the family is supposed to be very highly placed. So Nick's mother may have possessed substantial property in her own right. In addition, she would have been entitled to a third of her husband's estate, as his widow. ----- Mary mcombs@e.......

I was wondering how many >other people have had FK permeate even to their dreamlife. > >Laurie of the Isles It's not at all unusual for me. I often have trouble winding down at the end of the day, and nothing seems to relax me better than sticking in an FK tape and letting some of my favorite eps lull me to sleep. If you've watched them often enough, they're old friends and you know what happens next, so it's not like you're on the edge of your seat with anticipation.....it's just a comfortable place to be, dozing off with the sound of familiar voices in your ears, giving you that warm fuzzy feeling......but it certainly does have interesting repercussions in the subconscious! Just the other day I dreamed I was Nick, caught in an intense fight with the Hunger. I don't know who I/he was struggling not to bite but I woke up with the Bloodlust roaring in my ears, and if I had fangs, they would have been fully extended! It was so weird, because it was one of those times that you're only partly awake, you KNOW you're sleeping, you KNOW you're dreaming and you can't shake it off and actually wake up. I couldn't move, couldn't speak, although my eyes were open (I swear they were!) I couldn't see anything but a red haze, and through the roaring in my ears all I could hear was my own heartbeat. Too freaky! And when I finally did fully return to RL, I actually wiped my forehead to see if I was sweating blood!! Luckily, my honey had already gone off to work for the day, not sure WHAT his reaction would have been! I just remember he wasn't any too thrilled to come home a few months ago and find me sobbing uncontrollably over Ashes to Ashes!!! :::heavy sigh::: they just don't understand. teri darius4evr@h....... >>I can never remember if I'm the good twin or the evil twin....<< :o) ------------------------------ End of FORKNI-L Digest - 11 Feb 2000 to 12 Feb 2000 (#2000-43) **************************************************************
