Each episode of the show was written by a different person
and they were not always consistent with their use of the
vampiric powers. God knows how many times *I* had to let go
of a plot idea in my stories simply because I said to myself:
“But then, that wouldn’t be possible because he can use that
certain supernatural power he has and get away.” No such
observations by the show’s writers though, they just jot down
what comes to their minds.

Subject: You know you're sick when...
I finally caught that bugs that's been running around Arizona and spent Tuesday
curled up in some blankets with a half-gallon of orange juice and a stack of FK
tapes. I was watching 'The Fix', the part when LaCroix shows up right after
Nick shoots up, and I was looking at Nick and thinking, "He looks like I feel.
Jeez, I AM sick!!!" Ah, the millions of ways this show influences our lives.

Like Meghans I started watching the 3rd season with Heart of Darkness. I
remember I taped the episode so I could fast forward if I didn't like it.
Needless to say I didn't do much fast forwarding. the show got cancelled
and I waited a year to see the first two seasons. Once I did I ended up
liking Schanke better than Tracy. Now I notice a monotony about the
actress's delivery of her lines. she always seems to say them in the same
inflexion. her intonation tends to rise at the end of each sentence.

he might have got away with it briefly . but could you count on him to
continue not to be able to remember. Unlike the woman in HoD Nick
would constantly be trying to fill the gap in his memory . We know that
by the next day Nick's memory had already starting to heal That is
why he went to the warehouse. What I don't get is why no one
wondered why within twenty four hours of being shot in the head Nick
didn't have a bruise or even a mark to show for it.

Or that the hospital ER didn't shave around the wound...isn't that
what they do to properly diagnose and in order to keep the injury
clean and to heal without further complications--especially head
wounds?

You know the thought had crossed my mind that that might have been what
they wanted to do when they brought Tracy on the show. It almost makes
sense. Why Natalie when he could have Tracy. It would have been the
ultimate television fantasy. Hero falls for beautiful blonde partner.
Only problem is that it has been done to death. You know what's really
frightening they probably still don't understand why GWD said no.

They're both brothers; Joe is the family name, Stonetree and Reese
are their given names, and the names got mixed up on their police
employment forms. Or they could be sons of Joe Foreman, George's

Season 3 was shot on limited money.
When the character of Screed was conceived, there was an immediate
problem due to the lack of funds to provide constumes for the actor.
It is a little known fact that a number of Season 3 scripts were
actually Season 1 scripts that had been left over. A staff
accountant realized that if they paid a secretary to only do a
search/replace on the word Stonetree and replace it with Reese
instead of replacing "Joe Stonetree" with "Milton Reese" (the
original conceptual name of the character), they could save $1.51
Canadian. This funding - plus some quality time at the Tornoto City
swap-meet - permitted the wardrobe-people to create Screed's
distinctive look.

Hi, Gang ~
Here are a few ideas ~
On Nick's car:
* Don't Honk; I've got enough guilt.
* Driver may be UIF {Under the Influence of Flashbacks}.
{Note: You know how some older drivers seem to have a
habit of driving with their turn signals on forever?
Suppose Nick ever does that? I mean, he IS pretty
old. Imagine the caddy pulling onto the highway &
that blinker just staying on and on, endlessly and
forever clicking ....}
On LaCroix's car:
* Come closer, my little entree. OR
* You'd do well to leave me alone.
On Natalie's car:
* I Brake for Dead Bodies.
* I {heart symbol} DNA.
* I Brake for the Undead.
* I {heart symbol} unattainable men
{oops, is that a real one?}
* Toronto Chocoholics Regional President
On Vachon's car:
* Honk if You're O Negative! Or Not!
On Martha Stewart's car:
* Forever Knight: It's a Good Thing!
On Jeanette's car:
* Keep clear of this car and you might
survive another day.
On Schanke's car:
* Family, Friends, Polka, Souvlaki, Bowling
- the Essentials of Life.
On Felix's car:
* I was brought across for THIS kind of tax increase?
I'd suggest ideas for bumperstickers on MY car, but I had to stop
driving three years ago, darn it. And I'm NOT putting a sticker
across my behind, because it's big enough already - no use calling
more attention to the ever-expanding girth, you know.
I know you guys can think up more of these. Come on!
