Subject: Dream cast - Pooh

A few weeks ago on IRC (#foreverknight) Brian M, a lurker on this list,
during a conversation about Winnie the Pooh, changed his nickname to
Eyore / Nick. Needless to say, things degenerated from there... This is
what we came up with, although a few need work!

Nick - Eyore
LaCroix - Tigger (visions of bouncing across the Raven!)
Natalie - Piglet
Schanke - Pooh
Cohen - Owl
Tracy - Roo
Reese - Rabbit

Thats as far as we got...Probably a good thing! Anyone with an idea on
who should be Janette, or Vachon?

As you might have gathered we have a lot of fun on IRC. Join us, we
don't bite (well, at least not very often!) *ducking* :)

There once was a vampire named Nick
so Life often gave him a kick.
A solid foot to his pants,
as with angst he would rants
whenever he acts like a brick.

Tah-Dah!

there once was a Rat named John,
A fav show he ponders upon,
For Screed he did angst,
for Janette he pants,
and to meet Nat he is diein'!

SYNAPSE was not on television.  I rented it at BLOCKBLUSTER last night.

Re: Black Adder line-up.   I'd *kill* (literally) to see Stephen Fry play LC.
Yes, oh yes, oh yes!

But I'm inclined to see Miranda Richardson squeaking "I'm a *good* cop, Nickie."
Or she could pull off Janette.

Gabrielle Glaister (Bob) would make a good Urs.

But where's Tim McInnerny?  (LaCroix's lunch, as someone put it?)

> Maybe Christopher Robin should be Janette?
Oh, that's not too bad!  I was just about to insist that Nat couldn't be
Kanga, because Janette had to be: care-giver instincts, and all.  The
problem is that while I'm happy to cast Eeyore as Nick, I simply *cannot*
pair Tigger and LC! :)  Tigger gets to play Vachon -- it's a question of
ego and immaturity.  LC... well, I might actually put in a pitch for LC
as Pooh, himself... but most Cousins would probably revolt... :)  Tracy
as Roo, sure; Gopher as Reese... :)

        I noticed in the last recent ep of FK that the final credits plug
Crescendo records' FK CD. Does that mean it is finally available? I've been off
the list for a while, so I don't know if its been discussed.

Also I'm planning to be in Toronto in middle March. I'm going on my Spring
Break with a friend and we would like to know where to go and where not to go.
I won't take up any more bandwidth, so if you are interested in helping my addy

Hey all!
Thanks to everyone for reading my fkfic "Eternal Champion" last week, and
thanks especially for all the great comments.  As you know, right before the
story ends Nick takes some time off to go with Lacroix and "convince" the
syndies to ask for another season of EC.  I don't have access to the web (AOL
is messing up whenever I try to get on), but I need names of Syndies who
carry FK and, if possible, the names of the programming directors. (Names
will be cleverly disguised, of course...)  I want to write some fic about NK
and LC on their whirlwind tour of the syndies. ;)

Thanks in advance!

It's off-topic, but I had to share with with you. I saw a small window
poster in a conveneience store today. It was an ad for Freedent chewing
gum. It showed a woman _very_ vamped out (fang envy, ayone?) and the
caption under the picture read:

Geraint Wyn Davies was philosophical about the cancellation of his
series _Forever Knight_, a cult fave after a four-year run.  "It's time

got to win," he joked. "Didn't he write the ceremonies?" Also, in

Finally. Someone who understands what I feel towards that Screed guy. My
owner, Sammy, doesn't like the fact that there are no animal vampires on this
show so far. (She and I have only seen this season so far.) Besides I would
like to have something to write on fanfic about. I would be mortified if I
was to be Screed next victim. WE HAVE FEELINGS YOU KNOW!! We are not just
stupid little creatures who sleep all day and lick our fur. We dream, we see,
we feel. It's not fair that animals such as ourselves are not reconsidered as
a veiwer of this show. I want myself to be heard. MMEEOOWW. Hear me now and
understand me later.

Subject: Shrewthering and Fleshy Question

Hi, all.  Sorry to do this, but I cannot find the instructions on how to get
added to the DEBSPLAY list to get information about the Shrewthering.  Would
some kind soul send me that info?  Thanks - you guys are the greatest!

ObFK Comment:  I just saw the repeat of "Hearts of Darkness" (I missed the
first minute including the "Let's get naked!" line) and it made me think
about everyone's opinion of USA's effect on season 3.  However, I just saw
one of the first season's episodes, and noticed that the opening theme shows
a (supposedly) naked woman (she's topless, and just as she turns to face the
camera, Nick lifts his badge and blocks the view).  Personally, I hate when
they throw in stuff like that just to attract attention.  It takes time away
from the story and rarely every advances the plot.  IMHO.  This made me
wonder:  Was USA the first to try to throw a little flesh (ala Silk
Stalkings) in the show, or did CBS try to spice up their "Crimetime After
Primetime", too?

Now, don't take this as a flame, but a lot of people seem to be putting the
first season up on a pedestal.  I'm trying to understand if it really
deserves to be held in such higher regard than season three, or if people are
idealizing it here (I've only seen one season one episode, and it is very
good, but it doesn't blow season three out of the water like I expected after
reading this list).

Any comments?

Nick&Nat-Packer, who is starting to wonder if the ObFK comment is going to

Re all the commentary about the PR push for FK at the beginning of the season
--

I'm the last person to defend what's happened to the show and bemoan its
cancellation. However, as a member of the press who was at the Television
Critics Tour when USA announced its participation, I know there was a
concerted effort to get coverage.I was the only one jumping for joy. I
subsequently had some conversations with the Columbia TriStar publicist and
she said she was having a great deal of trouble getting the mainstream press
interested in the show. We discussed some possible pitches -- including GWD's
musical talent being pitched to the music trades.

I tried to do something with my contacts at the Washington Post, but the show
didn't air in the vicinity, so it was nixed. Unfortunately, a late night show
about vampires IS a tough sell to most of the press. We don't have to like
it, but that's the reality of the business in TV and journalism.

and encourage anyone else who is interested to keep this thread going.  We
may finally get some interest from TV Guide.  Also, they've listed an e-mail
address for the person responsible for their "Primetime" listings.  They were
a little vague about just what exactly this guy does, but I thought I'd post
his e-mail address and perhaps we could start sending him our views about the
cancellation of our show.  Don't know if this will accomplish anything, but
we may be able to pull one more nail out of the coffin (so to speak).

A lot of us have said we are here for the long haul, and right now, I

I know we are all tired and frustrated, which is understandable, we have

>Homer as Nick?

Homer maybe Hilarious but.... I think we need someone with more sex appeal
(that's putting it mildly)  Maybe, that Troy McClure the movie star (Phil
Hartman's recurring Character.)  Actually, even though she's female, Lisa
Simpson would make an ideal choice as Nick, how much more angsty can you get
out of a cartoon Character.

>Marge as Nat
I really cannot picture Nat with skyscraper blue hair.  how about Ms.
Crabopple (sp)  she's looking for love, and is a teacher, as Nat teaches
nick with mortality. But I think Nat is a bit more nurturing.

>Mr. Burns as Lacroix

Deliciously Evil!  I love it.  But Mr. burns looks to frail to play the
powerful Uncle.  I'd even consider bart, if he wasn't too childish-gotta
love his obnoxious malevolence.

>Bart as Vachon
Actually, Otto the bus Driver is perfect.

>Lisa as Tracy

Lisa Simpson's too smart to be tracy.  Although I do see connection with
overbearing dad.  One of those twins can play her.

Tigger as LC does seem to feel right.
Tigger certainly doesn't have LC's cynicism,

Subject: Re: Shrewthering and Fleshy Question

First season has some "sex" scenes that are similar to third season.
The difference (for me, anyway) has more to do with the quality of the
story surrounding such scenes.  The scene you mention about the
"topless" girl in the credits is an excellent example of the difference.
She was a stripper who was using her talents to "charm" men to get them
to commit crimes so that she would get a vicarious thrill out of making
them do them.  Eventually she needed to experience more direct thrills
by killing one guy.  But her "sex" or "exposure" type scenes were
to personally involve Nick in relating her with the type of seductress
Janette was in helping to lead him to getting involved with LC (in the
flashback, we see Janette seducing a mortal Nick).  Therefore, it becomes
a question of whether Nick will let himself be "seduced" by "evil" again.
The story is presented in such a way that it seems that he *is* being
taken in by the stripper's "wiles"--you wonder whether he's going to
forget that he's a cop and she's a murder suspect.  In the end of course
he does his job and gets her confession on a "wire".  But she doesn't
apparently think she's going to like jail because she winds up throwing
herself from a roof and finding the ultimate "thrill" in dying.

Contrast this with Hearts of Darkness.  While the "sex" in this I think
is essential to the story of Ellen/Monica/Jaclyn, we as viewers can't
get quite as emotionally involved with her story as it is so "separate"
from any of the "main" characters.  That doesn't mean it isn't an
entertaining and thought-provoking story, but there *is* a certain
amount of natural distance in not having a "personal crisis" link to
a main character (like Nick).

First season involved Nick in a direct way with many episode events.
Plus I think some more important "issues" were discussed in the first
season episodes.  In the very early episodes, you weren't always so
sure that Nick was going to stay or be a "good" guy, for instance (the
episode with the stripper, Dance By the Light of the Moon, falls into
this category).  I *do* consider first season to be the best season
(this doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed the subsequent seasons though).

Of course, other people have different opinions, I suppose. :)  But this
is an interesting topic to bring up and I hope some other people will
comment on it.

Subject: FK on SciFi only?  Wail!!!!!!!!

I've been playing catch-up with my digests....please say
it ain't so that FK will air exclusively on the Sci Fi
Channel!  I can't get the Sci Fi Channel, and neither can
most of the San Francisco Bay Area.  As Fred says, this
will just keep the show swept nicely under the rug,
where USA wants it.  It's obvious that all USA cares about
is stripping the show to preserve its bottom line--not
the fans, not anything else.  I know TV's a business to
these people, but I think it's time we taught them the
meaning of the words "the customer is always right."
>:-)  Sigh...  I'll sharpen my honey-dripping pen again...

the old list digests on the ftp site today, and found

As you haven't seen the full first season, I don't think it's possible for you
to make any kind of  true assessment as to why we hold it in such high regard,
anymore than anyone just seeing one episode of the 3rd season say like "Hearts
of Darkness" should think the entire 3rd season is lousy.

Actually, it is a matter of taste and what you believe the characters of FK
should be.  We (for the most part) fell in love with the decidedly different
themes, story lines and the angst-ridden vampire trying to find salvation.  The
relationship between Nick & Nat  as it was in the first season, and Nick &
Schanke is sorely missed. You don't mention what episode from the first season
you saw, they weren't all stellar any more than all the third season were lousy
so it would definitely depend on which one you saw so, it's kind of hard to
totally discuss it without knowing.

I just heard a radio commercial for Forever Knight on USA.  What the hell is
going on with these people?  It was a decent spot, but where was it when we
needed it? Has anyone else heard it? And now they're showing it on Tuesdays at
10:00 p.m.?  This is so insane.

I came in during second season, and I still think that was the best.

There've been some interesting debates about how the different seasons have
affected different fans, especially as we've seen such significant changes
in characters & themes from one to the next.  In particular, I like the
theory (whose theory? Susan's, maybe?) that the fan's perception of the
show (and often choice/s of affiliation/s) are significantly influenced by
the season they saw first.  I know that for me, my vision of FK = second
season FK, and if I had to be stranded on the proverbial desert island
w/only one season's worth of tapes, that's the one I'd pick.

Except for the drummers.  I do like the bit with the drummers.
