Tammy BooBoo Crews <tcrews@w.......> wrote: > > I walked into our den at 9:30 and also noticed FK. It was a rerun. Ack! Cough! Splutter! Tammy says merely "it was a rerun"!! We're talking about "Night in Question" here! (Arguably) the best episode of the season! The episode that got the highest ratings in Bea Quindlen's survey! Something like 84% of the respondents gave it the highest possible rating. (Couldn't find a copy of the survey but I think I'm remembering correctly. Bea, correct me if I'm off here!) I had both VCRs running simultaneously making really good copies -- one for me, one to share. Next week I'll fill the second half of the tape with another of the best episodes of the season -- "Sons of Belial"! OK, I guess some people will disagree with me, but I've had my chance to rant for the day. Thanks for listening, I'll calm down now. P.S. I guess it's obvious that I'm not boycotting USA. As long as they have Forever Knight, I'll watch it. Unfortunately my reception is less than ideal for the Philly syndicated station (KYW-TV 3). The picture has ghosts, and personally I think ghosts and vampires don't mix. ;) I'm very happy I have a syndicated station to turn to, though! Gives me several opportunities to watch each week. I think I'll sit down and write another letter to KYW-TV 3 thanking them & reminding them to ask for FK at NATPE! * Allison Percy, a perky Knightie percy91@w....... * * __o Pedal for Forever Knight & the Pediatric AIDS Foundation! * * _`\<,_ Contact me at percy91@w....... to find out * * (*)/ (*) how to pledge your support and/or join the ride! * ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 1996 00:10:27 -0500 From: Michelle Cox <TXMMC@a.......> Subject: For all the Vaqueras For those who have not made it to the FK ftp site, which I just learned has many ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 1996 00:21:47 -0500 From: Donna <hozdmb@r.......> Subject: <No subject given> >>listed in Fandom Directory #16, which comes out on March 20th. >>> >> >>> >>If you'd like to start a campaign, please feel free to do so.

Pickering" <Plan2@a.......> Subject: Resolutions Hear ye! Hear ye! I'm finally making my somewhat silly resolutions common knowledge: 1) If we get the rest of season 3, I'm going to perm my hair. I don't know what kind of perm, but suffice it to say that I've had perm-o-phobia since a really awful perm in 5th grade looked more like an afro. This *is* a sacrifice! (Footnote: I even, because 3rd season looks promising, made an appointment for Weds. night at my hairdresser. Those going to ARISIA will get to witness results first-hand (or is that first-hair? :-)) 2) If we get season four, I am giving up chocolate forever. 'nuff said.

The unofficial official word from a VERY good source: Paragon has the green flag to complete the *third* season (having their deals with Europe and Canada to thank for that). *The BIG bad news*: TriStar has *already told the producers* that there will NOT be a fourth season, and they have given the green light to DESTROY THE SETS and sell everything which isn't nailed down *immediately* after shooting is finished in **February!!!!!** *The Time Is Now*: To let TriStar know of the thousands of fans who want the show to continue and evolve. Pick up those pens! Talk to those viewers and badger those local programmers! Go to those conventions and hand out those flyers!! Rally, troops, rally!!! Pledge and send your NATPE money! Get back in touch with all your media sources and keep them abreast of matters--- tell them to tell their viewers/listeners/etc. to get in touch with *TriStar*!!! We've got to get new blood involved! Judging from Bea's (admittedly phenomenal) survey, we need about *three times* the paper we've been generating so far! If TriStar gets enough feedback, it might turn the tide. Otherwise, as my source says: 'Forever Not' WILL BE A REALITY!!!!! Felicia Bollin AriCon@a.......

Hello everyone, I am hoping some kind soul might be able to assist me. I am missing 2 episodes from the second season and I was wondering if someone could possibly send me a copy of them.

I knew USA was up to something screwy when they started showing HIGHLANDER twice day and NO Forever Knight. Sounds like we are in the wars again. I went through some old messages and I found the following information and hopefully this will help. I can't believe they're doing this after all they hype they gave to FK back in September.

Nonononononono!!!!! <cringe> This Will Not Do! <G> To Teresa and anyone else who finds themselves in that situation, we *can not afford* to take that for an answer in this case!!! Any director of programming must be told *explicitly* that they need to ASK for the fourth season! TriStar WILL NOT BE OFFERING a fourth season, and we might as well toss our carefully thought letters to the wind if this is the impression we leave the DPs with. In this scenario, he/she goes to NATPE, stops by the TriStar booth, and *there's nothing related to FK there*. We already *know* this will be a fact. Given half a chance, this information will fly in one ear and out the other if the syndicated station rep shows up at the convention and *depends upon TriStar's display* to remind them that one of their constituents said, "By the way, please pick up the next season of "Forever Knight"." If they happen by some freak of nature to miss our glorious bags, and merely select from what they are offered at the TriStar booth, then that means no FK. If the station rep says to themselves, "Oh well, they're not offering this show again, I'll pick another selection," that's not much good *at all* to our cause. When you have your local station rep on the line, *do not* let them wriggle off without telling them that you have *a very good inkling* that TriStar will not *BE* offering a fourth season, and that they have to ASK for it. You must say, *ask*, and tell them that you have more than a suspicion that TriStar has no plans to offer the fourth season UNLESS enough local stations ask for it. This is not a suggestion, guys This is crucial to the scheme. BTW, I'm sniffling in sympathy for Susan already. My hair hangs to the small of my back now, and any one of my friends can tell you I don't think any more of that hair than I do of my right arm. However, I should also put in that I chopped it all off in the summer of my sophomore year in college (think of The Little Dutch Boy on the paint cans <VBG>), which was six years ago, and I've had quite a few two-inch trims since then. As long as you hack it all off to a single length, you should be okay. It's layers and bangs that are a b**** to grow out. Massaging with the pads of the fingers (not the nails) as you wash your hair also helps, if you want to grow it back really fast. It's the same principle as the 'tapping your fingernails on a hard surface promotes growth' one.) And yes, Cynthia, I will get some sleep now. Promise. <G> Felicia Bollin AriCon@a.......

I'm glad to see so much discussion generated by the boycott-USA-or-not idea! Both "pros" and "cons" have some very valid points. I *do* think that we should keep mulling this over and think about some sort of mass fan *thing* in case things look even more grim in a month or so, but that for right now we should focus on our local stations and NATPE. (or is it NAPTE? I can never remember...) Whatever we end up doing, I agree that it should be dignified. Charity note: I posted a flyer at the stable where I keep my horsie, and got a woman who's never seen FK but who loves to help the "little guy" offer to hand me a check this weekend. Ohhhh....I hope it's a <good> check...this woman can afford it, and needs tax write-offs, and already gives major buck-age to animal rescue organizations and the like every year. If nothing else, everyone at my stable now knows about FK and teases me unmercifully about my "closet" Internet and "weird vampire show" habits. ;) Hey--I can take it! Lisa MVRJasper@a....... P.S. Susan--If you want to cut The Hair, go for it! I went from hair-to-sit-on to hair-above-the-shoulders and have lived to tell! ;) Trust me, it hurts others more than it hurts you. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 1996 01:41:40 -0500 From: Dawn Piehl <Nereida17@a.......> Subject: Re: Hauntings In a message dated 95-11-30 01:55:59 EST, Karyn Swanson wrote: >I ordered it tonight directly from Tangled Web Audio.

I eventually got a real person. When I asked for Tangled Web Audio, I was put on hold for a while and *finally* got an operator at Tangled Web. I told her that I wanted to order an audio tape, and she said that the department was closed down. After questioning her further (she was rather rude, or clueless, or both), she basically said that there were *no tapes of any kind available*...and there won't be in the future. She wasn't very cooperative, so I didn't press further, but it sounds like they are going out of business. Has anyone else called recently? I've been waiting to get the tape until someone else was successful in ordering...I guess I waited too long. :( Bummed out, Nereida17@a....... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 1996 01:53:40 -0500 From: Sandra Gray <TMP_HARKINS@d.......> Subject: Fandom Directory Some additional information about _Fandom Directory_ : Number 15 (1995-1996 edition) is the current edition of this annual publication. FK doesn't have its own "interests" category yet, although the foreword says that FK is one of eighteen additional interest categories awaiting a sufficient number of fans to state them as one of their "other" interests before it gets its own code and is added to the data form. I know the listings for individuals, clubs, conventions, and fan publications are free and I think other listings are too (although there is paid advertising in the book too). There are also listings of research libraries, computer bulletin boards, retail stores, and an electronic communications index. There are Canadian and overseas listings also. The current edition is 608 pages long. The next edition is slated for publication on March 20, 1996. You can buy ads from classified size to full page. You have to have your space reserved by January 19 and the ad copy deadline is January 26 should this be of interest to anybody. --Sandra Gray, forever Knightie --tmp_harkins@d....... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jan 1996 20:48:53 -0500 From: JOHN H FETTING <jfetting@w.......> Subject: people on the other end of the internet,like myself are needing(maybe it's just me) a IRC room to go to and talk FK,especially now because of my shortage of information...If anyone, anyone at all, is interested in a room time or date, please mail me,i'll be here all night and will be constantly checking mail....also, how much dough does it cost for a season of FK? fund raiser...don't laugh, in a time like this we all get a little too creative..

I posted an order for _Hauntings_ on 22 Dec 1995, I have yet to receive anything. I have been wondering where my tapes are. I e-mailed Tangled Web, they sent me an order form, and I posted my order--hummmm. I do hope I have not been duped out of $17.
