Subject: trivia question
Trivia (for me) and FK Alum report.
I saw "Titus" the other day, and one of the folks in it is Colm Feore. The
imdb says he was "Walken" in the FK ep "Blood Money".
What episode/role is that?
And, for those interested, Feore plays Marcus Andronicus, tribune and
brother to Anthony Hopkins' Titus.

Hey everybody...if you can afford to buy a second, third, thirtieth copy of
These Our Revels, go to Amazon.com and support our cause right now! It's
listed as a quick pick on the homepage.

That's the ep where Nick's financial advisor gets blown to smithereens and
the advisors' son is the prime suspect. Also the ep where we get a hint of
Nick's wealth via the papers for the DeBrabant foundation accounts.

How on earth did this document fall into your hot little hands?
It's an interesting read, as much for what it doesn't say as what it says.
It pretty much confirms all that we thought that USA wanted out of FK: Sexier,
darker, more lurid.
No mention of Nat. (other than a possible episode in which she takes a
vacation to search for a cure. I don't remember seeing any third season ep
like that. Any guess as to what it evolved into?) However, that small blurb
on the ep. kinda' dispels the rumor that they were going to write her out in
favor of Tracy Vetter.
Considering the lack of character direction, it's a small wonder that they
wrote her so negatively that season.
Lots of emphasis on Tracy, Vachon et. al. Another small wonder that they
seemed to be shoved down our throats in the first part of season.
The character description of Tracy could be summed up in one word. Perky.
It was interesting to see all the planning That went into Vachon's Crew. A
few of those Vampires didn't make the cut. (no mention of the Inca. ) It
might have been nice to see the other members of the Lost Boys make an
appearance.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It was thought-provoking, and I had
a hoot over some of the descriptions.

Yeah, but what about that 'repressed sexuality' bit? I'm pondering that nugget
still.
What's that I hear? The horrified gasps of the DP Mafia, shouting
'Foregeddaboudit!'?
On the other hand, considering my own Vaquera-ish tendencies, this goes a long
way
toward explaining Tracy's restraint during the 'Black Buddha' shower scene.

Honestly, I would have loved to have seen the two Crew members that never made
it
to the screen, moreso than Urs and Bourbon. I loved the description they give
for B, though, and he was definitely a good balance for Screed. And as I'm sure
Libby is ready to point out, Screed was obviously the ultimate manifestation
of this sexier, SEXIER season! <G>

hehehehehehe! I do have to laugh at USA wanting more Sex and then the member
of the Crew that does make it to the show could probably be described as more
"anti sexy" than sexy!
Greg Kramer did tell me that Screed was originally suppose to be a sort of
messenger type but he didn't know where that idea had come from or "where it
went."
For those of you who might wonder, show bibles are often vague. I once was
hired to write one (though I got ripped off big time by not being paid -
that's another story). As much as I wanted to flesh out the characters, I was
reminded that some of the development would have to come in the actual
writing of the scripts as we could really see how the characters mingled.
The episode ideas listed where probably JUST that - episode ideas to use or
not use as they saw what developed. For the bible I wrote, I think I listed
something like 20 or so ideas in much the same format seen here.
ALthough there's some of the things from the 3rd season bible that didn't
make it I would have LOVED to have seen, there some things I'm sure glad
didn't make it. Like the rest of the Crew. ALthough the characters were very,
VERY interesting and I'd have liked to have seen them, I think it would have
distracted from the already existing and more major characters even more.
Did that make sense? If so, it is the first time today I've made sense!

about the "marry a millionaire" show on Fox last week. We've
discovered where Capt. Cohen *really* went!
But almost immediately after the show aired February 15, news
reports questioned whether Rockwell, a comedian/motivational
speaker/real estate developer, was really wealthy--or just a
publicity hound. Click here for an old Rockwell promotional headshot

That depends on what U.S. version you're talking about. When
Sci Fi Channel was showing FK, they did their own "creative"
cutting of the Canadian version of the show, which made the
SFC version different from what aired originally in the US
on CBS in first season.
As far as I know, it's only the first season of the show that
has separate versions. I've heard tell (but never seen) that
the European version of first season has some nude female
scenes. I've heard that the FK actors objected and that they
stopped filming the nude scenes after the first few eps.
Hmmm...I haven't compared the USA/syndicated version of second
and third seasons to the SFC airings to know whether SFC cut
anything out of them too. Anyone know? But afaik, second
and third seasons in their *original* showings in both the US
and Canada were the same.

Hmm, actually I don't know about that. All that stuff about the 'hurt at
an early age' and 'competent to a fault ' don't really jazz with the
later 'almost naïve optimism' schtick. Think it works better as an act
she projects to the world rather than her true nature. The thing about
her resenting Nick though... I like it :)
Oh, but what about the Vachon description? Vachon a bookish coffee house

Yep kiddies, Yuppie Vachon to the rescue! Heheh. I'm sorry but I'm not
entirely sure Vachon was even literate... wait, he -did- sign his name in
Blackwing... hmm, warrants more thought. (hey, 'Warrant' that was a

Fans of bands to keep hair off the face? Naw, I don't think so.

I don't know about the coffee house thing, but I can sure picture him
reading...at least Metal Edge when it was good, but I can also stretch it to
see him reading 'De la Terre à la Lune' or other Science Fiction classics.
Somehow, I'm certain he's read Heinlein, if not Verne. (Btw, Ben Bass fits
the coffee house description, and he would look right in a goatee.)
: BTW- Chong would have rocked. 'Nough said :)
I just saw Joan Jett a couple of weeks ago opening for Def Leppard, and,
well, she isn't Asian but otherwise the description fit to a 'T' including
the shaved head. Now wouldn't she have been a neat addition to the show?

There were a few Vietnamese students at my dorm in college. Two of them
were a brother (Nguyen-Phuong Hong) and his sister (Nguyen-thi-Phuong
Lien). (Note that properly the family name precedes the given name.) There
was another student, Tran Thuan, and a fourth whose given name was Dung
(Southern pronunciation) or Zhung (Northern pronunciation) -- I don't
remember his family name offhand, though I think it was Nguyen. The
Southern pronunciation of Hong's name is "Hung"; I don't recall offhand if
I've ever heard the Southern pronunciation of "Lien". Hong and Lien were
originally from North Vietnam, Dung from South Vietnam. Hong and Lien's
brothers occasionally visited them, but I don't recall their given names
offhand.

I recently read a story off Mel's page called "The Vampire of Babylon

interesting conversation could be had at the Zocolo between LaCroix and
Bester perhaps concerning wayward children?
Also, courtesy of a couple other x-overs I've been reading. How about a
conversation between Natalie and Scully slightly tipsy at the Raven.

devoted a lot of fanfic to getting her fatally shot. Or maybe giving her
