You're referring to second season's Crazy Love.  In that episode's
flashback, Nick was seeing a merchant's daughter, Amalia.  She was
meeting with him at night and there would be some kissing and then
he would bite her and take some blood, but not enough to kill her.
He apparently visited her several times.  I got the impression though
that Nick had held back from a *complete* physical contact with
Amalia--in fact, the episode seemed to focus more on how having her
under his spell (and there *did* appear to be a "spell" of sorts on
Amalia; she almost worshipped Nick and was *eager* to give herself to
him and let him drink her blood) and how it translated into how such
ultimate *possession* of another (to where that person was willing
to give her all to Nick--she was in his total control) was an almost
addictive high (probably why Nick hasn't been shown "sipping" much).
Even just the awakened memory of Amalia caused Nick in the present
to desire possession and blood (which he sought out Janette to
safely satisfy).  Every time apparently that Nick revisted Amalia
she was more willing to have him do whatever he wanted.  She wanted
him to kill her and of course, eventually he took that ultimate
possession of her.  But the whole flashback seemed to be to me
concentrated on the blood fulfillment rather than sexual fulfillment.
I'm not sure, but I don't think they engaged in a sexual encounter.
Of course others may view that differently. :)

The "possession" and the "surrendering of the victim's will" may
be why Nick has not tried to get to close to Natalie.  He wouldn't
(and she wouldn't) want him to bring her over and he doesn't want to
kill her.  But if he tried to "sip" from Nat, it would put a whole
new enormous strain on the relationship and both of them.  And the
"sipping" would probably eventually lead to Nick killing Nat and
the circumstance of Nat dying in such a way would be much harder
for Nick to deal with, I think.

Assistant Listowner's note:  We do NOT post spoilers here.  All spoilers,

Most of the third season, I think, is still under spoiler protection, due in
part to the weird airing schedules on USA and in syndication.  If there is even
the slightest shadow of doubt in your mind, better to err on the side of
caution and post to the spoiler list.  And the ep Mark mentions is definitely
recent enough to warrant spoiler protection.

Subject: Re: No butts, no chests

I think TPTB chose Ger because he has an almost innocent face, which
he can also make look unpleasant or deadly dangerous.  But I bet some
Cousins and other LC appreciators on this list find LC's more
dangerous sensuality attractive too.  And I can think of two cases
where a "romantic vampire hero" has not been outstandingly handsome:
both actors who played Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows (the original
and the remake).  Neither Jonathan Frid or Ben Cross are that
handsome (I don't think anyway) and yet, Jonathan Frid acquired a
big female fan following (don't know about Ben Cross, since the remake
only lasted for about 12 episodes).  Ger, besides being good looking,
also has a lot of natural charisma that adds to his attractiveness.

No, but we do cry/sweat water which makes up over 90% of our bodies, and
which our body derives from almost everything we eat. So it makes sence
that, since vampires don't have a water in-take the bodily functions that
include water would, instead, include blood.

Like Nat said in Fever (talking aobut Screed in the final stages
"bleeding out"), she said the lungs and abdomin fill with fluid "in this
case blood." So fanfic assumption is not out of sinc with the FK universe.

Subject: Sci Fi Universe article

Just want to second whoever it was who first mentioned the March
edition of the above.  It is one of the better articles on FK that I've
seen.  Or, should I say, three articles: one on the show generally
(which includes quotes from Ger, Lisa Ryder and Blu Mankuma), one on
Bedard and Lalonde, and one on Nigel and LaCroix.  It was done before
USA dumped the show, but after the beginning of third season, so it
does discuss the new characters.  (Always interesting to read about
what the new characters are *supposed* to be like, knowing how they
always insist upon turning out differently. :-) )

And, of course, the Cousin in me was delighted not only by the nice
interview with Nigel, but by the discussion of the Nick/LC relationship
by Bedard and Lalonde.  Btw, speaking of the Nigel article, our
favorite lurker strikes again.  Remember the forkni discussion some
months back about who we would cast in "FK The Movie"?  Guess who was
paying attention! :-)

i think i has everything to do with self control (and maybe the advanced age
to go with it or just individual desire/will power - meaning some of us have
an easier time with dieting, for example). Selene from "Baby, Baby" was a
female vampire and she killed her 'mate'. Phooey what male/female vampire
tendecies are implied by JP's explanation. i don't want to blanket a single
vampire practice over any whole (vampire)sex until i've documented each and
every vampire having sex with a mortal :)

And on briefly on the subject of other species 'feeding' during sex: Well,
our rabbits didn't 'feed' on each other (or on the grass they were sitting
on) but the initiator (female acting as male - long story, forget it :),
just like in Bonnie's cat example, also bit its mate. i didn't think at the
time that it was to prevent the other from running away, i thought it was
from the... intensity of the moment.

I was at the movies last night, and they played a trailer for a new sci-fi
film called 'Independence Day'.  The trailer was really good - the movie
appears to be about Earth fighting back against an alien invasion  - when
suddenly, for a split second, I saw Deborah Duchene!

I think.

There were no credits shown, and the movie doesn't open till July. Can
anyone in her fanclub confirm or refute this sighting?

Sandra, Thank you so much for the info about the earlier flashbacks.

Just a newbie's thoughts:
It got me thinking about a comment I read by someone as to why Nick agreed
to be brought across - something about how he had really gotten drunk at a
banquet in a flashback.

It occurred to me that this could have been a perfect opportunity for him
- although a tad sticky morally (he was a Crusader after all.)  The idea
of killing per se shouldn't have bothered him though since that _was_ his
business after all, although justified by believing his side was the
righteous one.

The opportunity?  Would he, as a landless knight in his mid- to late
thirties be reaching the end of his value as a reliable fighting man?
Think of a pro American football player... if he lasts to that age, his
body can take the beating because of sports medicine, scientific training
and diet - and the actual battle lasts under two hours using only bodies
as weapons. Nick would have worn 50 lbs of chainmail over heavy padding
and wielded a weapon, from horseback, for hours.  Wouldn't Nick's
prospect within a few years be of being left behind to guard the castle,
train the younger knights, and pray he had served his lord well enough to
warrant being permitted to live out his old age in his liege's service?
Not a very inviting prospect.  Maybe staying young and immortal appealed
as a very attractive alternative.

As to illegitimate children - from Nick's behavior in the episodes I've
seen, unless his libido was greatly increased by becoming a vampire, he
must have been reproducing like a bunny throughout Europe and the Near East!

        Since someone mentioned about how Nick stopped killing people
circa late 19th century in "Love You to Death", can someone else explain
how in several episodes this season (no, I can't remember which ones
'cause Organic Chem. is frying my brain right now), including one about
WWII, Nick killed people.  As Schanke was known to say in that 1st season

I noted in the TV Guide that it lists FK at 1AM tonight (tomorrow?) and
was wondering if anyone knows what they will be showing?  The listing
doesn't give the title or details.  I managed to see Fever last week but I
heard that USA would not be showing any more new episodes.  If you have
any answers I would appreciate it.  email me privately if you want.

I need to find a local station that would be willing to pick it up in
syndication.  The Dayton area has the Miami Valley Channel which currently
picks up new episodes of Highlander so maybe they'll opt for FK.

I'm really tired of USA jerking us around.  I need my FK fix.

<drily>  Am I to take it that yourself and Leah are trying to tell me to get

While *I* might not consider myself a "devout" anything by any means, it
seems as though some might, just because I do attend church occasionally and
even have been known to pray .... does this mean that except for myself, Lisa
McDavid, Marina, and anyone else who has mentioned ever attending church
on-list, everyone who watches FK is atheist?  Or did Leah mean to say, "Quite
frankly, if you are devoutly religious in the traditional sense (which, of
course, must mean that you are a narrowminded bigot), this isn't exactly the
appropriate list to be subscribed to in the first place"?

Let's be careful with sweeping generalizations like this, guys.  It's a sure
way to end up with egg on your face.  I encountered it last year with people
on the Nine Inch Nails newsgroup who thought there was no way on earth a
religious individual could have sneaked through their elitist portals and be
listening to so-called "evil music".  Needless to say, they were wrong.

I think we might all be surprised by the amount of people on this list who
might consider themselves "religious" in one form or another.  Normally I
wouldn't do this on-list, and i apologize.  But there were some who
considered it worth-while to stick up for themselves a while back merely
because they watch Rush Limbaugh, and I think I'm beginning to know how they
feel.

Subject: We're ok, You're ok :)

Ahm, guys, I don't think anyone meant to imply anything about those
of us on off Forkni-l who are religious. "Traditionally religious"
was probably just a try -- and thanks for trying to find a nonflamable
way of putting it, Leah -- at describing people like that Teleflora
operator who said she couldn't watch the show because she's a Christian.
I'm sure there are equivalent types in other religions. No doubt those
types wouldn't like FK and wouldn't want to be subscribed.

For the record I know practicing Jews, Christians (including one
fundamentalist), Wiccans and Pagans on Forkni-l. I know a number of
atheists and agnostics. We've never had but one serious problem over
religion and that was because of a misunderstanding in which the
poster was quite sincere. The problem went away as soon as someone
found out what had caused the misunderstanding.

Having been through the religious wars :) on a couple of other lists,
I think we can all award ourselves warm fuzzies for getting along
very, very well.

How about this?  Humans are living bodies, with several different fluids
running around in them (blood, water in cells, urine, probably others I'm
not that aware of).

Vamps, OTOH, are dead.  Their bodies do not produce new substances.  The
blood keeps them alive.  Now it would make perfectly good sense if they
couldn't cry or sweat, but if they do, the only liquid they have to get
rid of is blood.

??????? No............I rather think that traditional religion would frown

Subject: Sword Pins

I was thumbing through a catalog and ran across some sword pins.  I don't
know how close they are to the ones used on FK, but here's the info:

Item #          Description                     Price (U.S.)

G134(250)       Sterling silver sword kilt pin  $49
                (also available in 9 ct. gold for $159).

G203            (feminine) claymore kilt pin    $49
                (delicate and needle-like)
                (no material given)

N123***         Clan Crest kilt pin (rhodium)#  $22

N162            Rhodium sword and rampant lion# $22

*** Clan code; see catalog for choices.
# The blade passes behind the crest or lion for approximately 1/3 of its
length.  This is *not* a "basic" sword pin.

Order from:     The Scottish Lion Import Shop
                [Address removed]

They normally charge $4-$6 for shipping.  If memory serves, The Noble
Collection also carries a few sword pins, but I wasn't very impressed
with them (besides, I've misplaced their catalog!).
