I think that the idea that vampires are repulsed by the symbols of
their own religion was first wanked into existence in Matheson's "I am
Legend", along with a great deal of what has birthed the modern
vampires. It was a seminal work, I think. Such a wide variety of
things can be religious symbols--is their a church of spam?--that
being repulsed by anything that might be a symbol or religious
artifact in some religion would be difficult and complex--it would, at
the least, be a main theme in the show, something that would require
work arounds several times in the course of an episode. In fact, could
make an interesting story....

I'm pretty sure we saw LaCroix, a pagan, repelled by crosses in one
episode, too.

Probably the easiest thing to accept is that there is some real power
in Christianity, which may in part be tapped into by other religions,
but which is not owned by any of the other religions; or, there is a
power, not necessarily religious, that is old and amicable to
vampires, and that power was adopted by Christians a long time ago,
that power including certain symbols and rituals used to this day.

Subject: Did Nick know Alyce was there?

It seems to me that he should have, since FK vampires are supposed to be able
to sense each other's presence, especially if they are "related".  But he
certainly did not seem to have known, given what he said to Natalie about
Alyce being one of the "lucky ones" (i.e. dead) [I believe I'm remembering this
correctly] and given his demeanor as he walked down the stairs.  His primary
concern appears to have been that he had a pint of Grade A Schanke running
through his veins.  [I think he looks up at the window where she's
doing "push-ups", but it is unclear that he sees anything.]

How to explain this???  Probably it was just too soon in the series for the
writers to have all the wrinkles ironed out, but then maybe LC figured that
as long as he was going to spite Nick by bringing Alyce across it might be
especially fun if he allowed Alyce to inherit or learn certain shielding
mechanisms that had been denied to Nick.  I say "inherit" because she hasn't
had much time to learn anything complicated.  Of course this backfires a bit
in the short run because Nick cannot be immediately tormented by knowledge of
her...uh...survival.  But the shock would be so much stronger when he did
find out.

Concerning the Grade A Schanke--Evidently he hadn't had any souvlaki or
garlic in any other form in the last 24 hours, or Natalie could not have used
his blood for the transfusion.

Subject: Re: Did Nick know Alyce was there?

I think Nick knew Alyce was there. Why he did not tell Nat? Maybe, it was
because he helped in bringing Alyce back over to save her life. After the
scene where he bent over Alyce and mourning over having to "kill" LaCroix
(we have to realize he's had many female liaisons die in his arms and she's
just one of the lost ones over the centuries. That intense sadness looked
like it was coming more over the loss of LC), he probably heard Alyce's
heartbeat. He may have helped bring her across fully and finish what LC
started (maybe? read further) or she could have just suddenly turned into
one. Some of LC's other children, like the barber have done that. Then, Nick
sends Alyce on her way, after taking care of her briefly. She can't stay in
Toronto after her transformation, possibly because she's new and
uncontroled.

Nick definately saw her in the end. He looks up directly at her (I have a
real clear recording of this ep). Maybe, it is a goodbye look or maybe he
didn't know she was a vampire and it was a look of surprise. Alyce good have
been one of those odd vamps that just suddenly come over, after a bite.
Either way, Nick did see her. He wasn't just looking up out the window at
the stars.

Another interesting note, is *before* LC bites Alyce, she has blood on her
neck. It was obviously from the scratch of Nick's fangs almost biting her.
This mark doesn't appear till after Nick's close call. We see a long blood
trail down her neck *before* LC bites her. He even licks at it. Maybe, this
effected her coming across?

Brenda Bell quoted and interpolated:
><<As I recall, [the] depiction [of Nick not shying from a mezzuzah]>>

     No; I apologize for the confusion; that's not exactly what I meant to
describe in my post.

     In "Partners of the Month," there is no mezuzah at the door on screen
(at least, not that I can see).  There is only a menorah in the
foyer.  There was once a discussion on list about whether it would have
been more appropriate if the prop in the filmed scene, from which Nick
flinches, had represented a mezuzah instead; the discussion then raised the
idea that a menorah, as a ritual object that is not inherently sacred
(unlike a mezuzah, inherently sacred with its script inside) ought not
repel Nick, and that by making a menorah repel Nick, instead of using, for
example, a mezuzah, FK canon had, at that moment, expanded the scope of the
type of religious objects that affect Nick.

      (FWIW, Marian Gibbons refers to that concept in one of her excellent,
unforgettable "Forever Nat" stories, unfortunately no longer available on
line, though that particular one is in hard copies of the zine _Forever Net
Before Christmas_; it's the only Hanukah story in the bunch, and it's
probably why I remember this PotM thread.)

      As I recall it, the original discussion didn't bring up Brenda's very
interesting idea about ritual use intensifying an object's effectiveness in
repelling FK vampires.

><<Would you agree that a "sacred" object has inherent religious value even
>without being used in ritual, a "ritual" object gains religious value
>through its use, and a sacred object can also be a ritual object?>>

      Yes; I think that's a very good definition.  Of course, as Maureen
astutely pointed out, this still leaves the Mayan human-sacrifice jade cups
and the cursed black Buddha statue to address.  As she also points out,
Nick in particular (if not the FK universe in general) subscribes to a
Light/Dark division (cf. "It is a symbol of the one, true light and we are
creatures of darkness" in FIHS) which may suffice within FK canon for the
lack of aversion to those objects.  Certainly the cursed statue is not a
"symbol of the one, true light"?

      (I seem to recall reading at some point that the Mayan cup use
described in DK as "a practice unique to the area" was in fact made up for
the story?  Any anthropologists on list to clarify that?  Altun Kinal,
Guatemala?)

><<The cow, being sacred but not necessarily used in ritual . . . would not
>affect Nick as much as, say, the colored rice thrown at a Hindu wedding,
>or the Hindu priest's prayer shawl (or whatever it's called).>>

      I was thinking perhaps that the cow would qualify as ritual rather
than sacred (and therefore with less impact on Nick) because its status
seems to come in how it's treated and not in an inherent virtue.  However,
your construction also works.

><<Or, he might be affected only by Brahmin cows, not by Herefords or
>Jerseys or Holsteins or Angus...>>

      Indeed!  :-)  Therefore going back to the original question's
premise, that Nick might be affected within India in a way he's not
elsewhere!  :-)  Excuse the irreverence, but might sacred cow blood even be
a cure?  ;-)  But of course we wouldn't kill a sacred cow.

Sorry... I was trying to pull everything down into four lines or less as

i.e., by ritual rather than (or as well as?) sacred objects...

But consider, too, that Nick is affected by the church's various trappings
(altars, icons, etc.), by the cross on the Bible he must swear on in "False
Witness", by Liam O'Neal's cross in "Bad Blood"... The only "inherently
sacred" thing he reacts to, if you discount the makeshift cross in "Killer
Instinct", is the lamb's blood in, IIRC, "Sons of Belial"... The others are
all ritual objects made sacred by acts of sanctification or intent (and one
can argue that the only reason the crossed two-by-fours have the impact
they do is that Nick *intends* for that cross to affect Lacroix as a
religious object would).

>Yes; I think that's a very good definition.  Of course, as Maureen
>astutely pointed out, this still leaves the Mayan human-sacrifice jade cups...

Lessee... the Mayan cups were supposedly used in a ceremony to cure
vampires. It makes no logical sense to "cure" a vampire by starting with
something that is impossible for him to touch...

>As she also points out, Nick in particular (if not the FK universe in
>general) subscribes to a Light/Dark division (cf. "It is a symbol of the one,
>true light and we are creatures of darkness" in FIHS)

I thought to a large degree it was a matter of a Christian (or possibly
Judeo-Christian) theology. That -- except for the raven knives, which might
have been particularly "powerful" on account of the personal power of their
owner and of their provenance -- Nick reacted badly only to Christian
symbols (and the menorah, which could be argued to be sufficiently
Christian under the "I have not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it"
clause and the "Jesus was a Jew" clause). Anything else did not affect him.
Crosses affected Lacroix because the cross represents the One True Light,
which in this instance means specifically Christ/the Holy Trinity. The Sun
God symbol would have affected Divia not simply because she was not living
in Christian times (yes, there were Christians, but they were still a
minority religion/sect/whatever), but because she and Q'ara were so
*purely* dark-and-evil that any hint of light -- even a "false light" --
could harm them irreparably...

Perhaps this is more "evidence" that the religious effect lies primarily
in the mind/beliefs of the vampire and the person
brandishing/using/owning the religious item. Most people (remember, most
people know diddly-squat about Wicca) think of a pentagram as a generic
occult symbol, or even a satanic symbol. Nick might well be in the
latter group, and since he's not being confronted by a Wiccan using a
pentagram to protect herself, there's no effect.

Similarly, the manji is a religious symbol in Japanese Buddhist
tradition but here in North America, this symbol is better known as the
swastika, with decidedly secular Nazi associations. So perhaps it's not
just the symbolism itself, but the intent with which it is used. A
secular pentagram is just an "occultish" symbol used by a printing
company to try to sell more Tarot decks; they probably also make decks
of playing cards, Pokemon cards or Harry Potter cards. Religious effect,
zilch. A couple of sticks held up crosswise, with the intent to invoke
the religious connotations of the Christian faith--full effect. Swastika
flags lining streets of occupied Paris--religious content, zilch.
(Otherwise, Nick wouldn't have been much use to the Resistance!)
Swastikas adorning Japanese Buddhist temple or household shrine--full
impact.

I always thought that the writers didn't attempt to be religiously
consistent but simply used images that they thought would be recognizable
to viewers and would show well in the medium and work in the eps. In that
episode, when I saw the menorah I thought either (1) the people weren't
observant enough to put the mezuzah (which often visibly bears something
very potent and holy--one of the euphemistic names Jews use to refer to
G-d) and which contains holy writings rolled up within it) on the
doorposts of their house and upon their gates, or (2) the writers didn't
think the audience would recognize them.  Also, a menorah is clearly and
familiarly a symbol of Light, which as I recall was stressed a bit in the
earlier seasons.  It's not that unusual for someone who observes a family
holiday like Chanukah to be assimilated enough to want to avoid a publicly
-visible symbol like a mezuzah.

Actually I've always assumed that vampires would be unable to pass a
mezuzah (or at least have great difficulty) and therefore would be unable
to enter a home through an entrance bearing one. Mystically, at least,
they recall the lamb's blood the Hebrews were commanded to put on their
doors on the night the angel of death visited the Egyptian first-born,
which served to keep him out of their homes. There's a good plot argument
for the absence of mezuzahs in that episode, since Nick had to enter to
advance the story.

Subject: Re: Did Nick know Alyce was there?

What happened is that originally, Alyce was going to be a continuing character.
Ger said at Toronto Trek that the actress was originally signed for several
appearances. However, the producers decided they didn't like the character and
bought out her contract. The script for Dark Knight was the same as the original
Nick Knight with only character name and pronoun changes as indicated. Nat was
of course the only gender change, which meant her first appearance description
had to be re-written, but Stonetree originally had an Italian name. Presumably
that change was made after they hired Gary Farmer.

The Los Angeles references were simply replaced with Toronto, so mechanically
that they were left with precincts where Toronto actually has districts.  In
fact, the motive for the murders in DK is impossible in Canada, where blood
isn't bought from donors.

As for Alyce, I see a distinct lack of chemistry between the DK Alyce and Ger.
Janette in Nick Knight is a very minor character. Deborah Duchene even said that
when they were filming her first scene they hadn't yet decided how much of a
history Janette had with Nick. My guess is that when they realized, after DK,
what they had with DD and saw the chemistry between her and Ger, they changed
their mind about Alyce as regular female character.

Then there's the fact that Nat in Nick Knight was a man, Jack.  Ger and CD
decided to play a subtext that Nat was in love with Nick -- they've both said
that in interviews -- which was another reason they didn't need Alyce after the
actress and Ger turned out not to be a good match. Ger and CD also had
chemistry.

So, they were left with the loose end of Alyce as a vampire at large in Toronto.

That's what I always thought, too. I would bet there are
many viewer who wouldn't recognize a mezuzah, or even
know what it was, if they saw one. I confess that while
I know what it is, I've never actually seen one
anywhere. The visual shorthand required to convey a
point on TV has to be obvious to the largest audience
possible (which explains a lot of inaccuracies in
shows). So to signify a Jewish house, put in a Menorah,
have the men wear yarmulkes.

And wouldn't that be a great foundation for the standard
convention that a vampire must be invited into a house
or he cannot enter?

Yup, they're definitely vampire protection -- they keep
out "angels of death".

Now all we need is a fanfic about Q'ara (sp?) and some
of his offspring running rampant through Egypt one
night, but stymied at those houses with the lambs' blood

She did own a car, and we've seen it in Cherry Blossoms. It's a red

There was another car in Human Factor, that she and Patrick spent the

Okay, I shouldn't complain...at least they brought FK back, but....  Good old
SFC, doing to FK what they did to Lexx, showing the eps in absolutely no
sensible sequence whatsoever!  What's with mixing up the seasons so much?  I
mean, I'd understand if they'd show some from S1, then some from S2, then
some from S3, or even mixing S1 and S2 eps and showing S3 eps last, but no,
they're mixing in S3 eps all through the marathon.  S3 is so much different
from S1 and S2, this is going to be very strange!

Okay, so I clicked on this link, the page opened, and promptly disappeared
entirely. Suddenly I was back at my mailbox page.  I swear all I did was
click and blink.

Is there a particular spell I have to perform, or is my medicine just
making things extra difficult today? {Just give me a hint; if there's no
special trick to do, I'll go sleep and try this again later. Some
days are foggier than others.}

Wait, it was the blinking, wasn't it?


Thanks,

Sami

Oops, sorry about the sig length! The email went into my FKFF2 folder
instead of inbox, so I didn't think.

I think it would depend on who you are talking to, the 'fine upstanding
citizens' or the wrong side of the law. <g> Generally speaking, though
the police are respected in Toronto. Kids in the Hall is primarily a
satire that lampoons everyone and everything.
