Subject: Sony Survey
I got through the Sony Survey fine.
Yes, it is to collect addresses and interest. 'They' want to know who we
are. I don't doubt that this information will be used in conjunction with
SciFi's acquisition of FK.
'Season finale' is a polite euphemism for 'gee, don't be pissed at us
because we cancelled your show, especially since we need you people to watch
the episodes on Sci-Fi.' Sci-Fi is showing the 13 episodes they bought of
this season. They are showing season one (CBS cuts, no shot in heck of
Canadian) and season two. They are either in the process of negotiating or
buying the remaining episodes from this season (which they backed out of in
a flagrant attempt to kill new FK episodes), which they will then advertise
as 'original' and 'unaired' (because if it hasn't been shown on the SciFi
channel, it hasn't been shown anywhere). And we're going to let them do it.
Why? Because we have hope of bringing this series back. We have hope that
eventually someone at TriStar will realize that there's money to be made
from new episodes or TV movies of FK because SciFi is a viable market (or
syndication or whatever). We have some hope that someone else who wants to
buy FK might wear down TriStar enough to pick up the package as is and
produce new and better episodes.
So, we thank Sci Fi for showing FK. We thank USA for letting SciFi show FK.
We thank TriStar for selling USA those extra episodes and showing FK. And
we ask--
We ask for merchandise.
We ask for professional, uncut video tapes.
We ask for a new series.
We ask for TV movies.
We ask for the moon.
And for a quick reality check--no, there were NOT two endings filmed. The
information we have right now states that there were a number of scripts
floating around, but that one script and ONE ending was filmed. If ANYONE
knows factually to the contrary, the information would be appreciated.

Publicity, publicity, publicity. That's ALL it is.
If they were going to use our answers to help decide, you can bet your
sweet bippy they'd be publicizing the heck out of it.
The only reason for this is to give people a reason to go there
without having to develop any original content, and to
gather a mailing list.
[There is no official weight behind what I'm saying, mind you. It's just
my opinion, but I really believe I'm right.]

Hi all,
You know you've been watching too much FK when you go give blood and they
are giving away free t-shirts. The shirt has a picture of a roll of
lifesavers candy with this written on it:

The lady passing out cookies and sandwiches problably thought I was

I just took a closer look at the Creature from the Sci-Fi Channel's note.
>In case you haven't heard, Sci-Fi Channel has picked up FOREVER KNIGHT.

>prior to their airing on Sci-Fi.
Judging from this, it looks like SFC will be doing what USA was doing
earlier this season, airing the episodes *after* they aired in syndication.
At least that's what it looks like judging from this, although I suppose
it could just mean that they'll air whatever USA owns (first 13 of season
3) until the show is done in first run syndication. Anyone know for sure?
Also does this mean new episodes start on April 20th?
I suppose they think this is some kind of great big favor they're doing us
here. But it does also mean that USA worked something out with TriStar
about the rest of season 3. Of course, *after* the scumbags withdrew their
financial support. Wonder if this means that USA kicked in money on those
last few episodes?
Anyway, my next round of letters is going out on Monday. I'm getting sick
and tired of being jerked around by these people.

Subject: Sony's survey about FK
The Sony survey will ask whether Nick should be given his mortality, and why.
If they hear from fans that Nick should stay a vampire, because it would
allow for another season's worth of stories, maybe they'll get the idea that
we don't want this show to end! But if Nick becomes mortal, maybe that will
seem like too difficult to continue from. Hmmmmm...just a thought.

I need to make pins for:
Vaqueros
Perkulators
Valentines
Anyone else?
Vaqueros, I know you want a Conquistador's helmet, but what else was
supposed to go on there (and, by the way, Vachon was with Pissaro, NOT
Cortez, as has been mentioned recently, which means he was probably a poor
kid from a lower, middle-class family, certainly not a first son, who was
looking for gold and glory but mostly gold)?
Perks--you want the coffee pot? Or something fluffy like bunny slippers?
(Don't hit!).
And Valentines . . . give me a clue. The Nick and Nat's is a heart with a
cardiogram overset, the Immortal Beloveds are two hearts would together by
ribbon and pinned by a stake.

Subject: YKYHBLYKWTMFKW
You Know You Have Been Letting Your Kids Watch Too Much FK When:
Your four year old thinks Nick at Nite is a show about vampires.
By the way, I have been letting my recently turned four year old watch first
and second season tapes with me. She just loves it, and she's so perceptive.
After the first episode she asked me who was Nick's master. (Now how does a
four year old know that some vampires have masters?) And she also said,
"Those people can't figure out he's a vampire, can they?
She's not really interested in the vampire stuff, though. She's enthralled
by the Nick\Janette\Natalie love triangle. She just hates Janette (Sorry,
Ravenettes) and she thought it was so funny when Natalie threw popcorn on
Nick in "Cherry Blossoms". Do the Nick and NatPackers have an age
requirement?
Speaking of factions, I don't have one either. I'm new to this list, and I'm
not sure how one goes about getting one. Does one just announce their
affiliation, or do you have to be sponsored?
I have watched all the second season and third season shows, and now, thanks,
to a very nice person, I am currently viewing the first season. I have also
written a little harmless fanfiction. Would I still be considered a Newbie?
If someone would be nice enough to email me at valworth@a....... and explain
it all to me, I would be eternally grateful. As for joining, I think I would
be partial to the NatPack, Nick and NatPack, Knighties (especially after
seeing the first seaon - Nick was so cool back then), and maybe Valentines.
I couldn't be a Ravenette ( My daughter would kill me) and I don't think a
Cousin would have twenty Barney tapes. (Hey, it kept the baby quiet.)
P.S. - How do you guys get those cool signature lines?

Subject: SOS-FK and SciFi Channel
Hi... surfacing from the exciting world of delirium again...
and speaking on an SOS-FK topic:
A great deal of crankiness aimed at the SciFi Network is
surfacing that belongs to USA. SciFi has been friendly to us in the
SOS-FK effort from the start, even to the point of being willing to risk
the wrath of USA Network, its owner, by carrying a mention and a link to
our SOS-FK efforts on their page. They can't help their corporate
ownership.
Assume they are friends and allies. I think it was Cousin Lisa
who said that anywhere FK fans are invited, we should show up in droves.
I hope someone has sent them a full and correct list of eps starting with
season one. To the extent that running order might be different from
filming order, it might be helpful and friendly to point those things out
to them. It wouldn't hurt to impress them, either. SOS-FK caused a
great deal of talk in their industry because of its professionalism;
let's keep that up. It will be even more impressive if we don't dissolve
and disappear because we suffered the setback of not getting the fourth
season (continuous with the third) we were initially aiming for.
Also, bear in mind that SciFi is now the ONLY exposure that FK is
going to have for some time. The very best thing that could happen in
terms of keeping the audience growing and alive would be for the show to
get stripped the way Highlander is on USA; who knows, if SciFi likes us
enough, maybe they'll do it.
In the meantime, those of us whose local cable systems don't yet
carry SciFi Channel have some letter writing to do. Just think how
impressive it would be if their coverage increased because of us.

Woops! I said he was with Cortez in "Lucien Lacroix: Dance Instructor". I
thought it was 1521 when the Angel got him? Which would have put him with
Cortez. Or did I hear that completely wrong? I didn't have a VCR at the
beginning of the season, so I can't go back and check the BB eps. Can
someone tell me the correct year?

Now, I don't do sig files--not that my mailer will let me create a (semi)
permanent sig file anyway. But mostly I don't like them, I think they are a
total waste of bandwidth. It is annoying to have to see the same ones
repeated over and over every bloody time someone with a particular sig files
posts to the list. I think sig files should be short, to the point, and
changed as regularly as, well... um, underwear. And I mean grown-ups'
underwear, not bachelors' and college kids' underwear.
But, if *I* were gonna do a permanent sig file, the above would be the sig
file I would use. I was just struck by the majesty of that wail, the
intensity of that lamentation. The sheer Basil

In keeping with the thought expressed by several here that viewership
may increase for FK because the SciFi Channel has picked it up, Best
Brains (the creative force behind Mystery Science Theater 3000) has
announced that they are presently in negotiations with the SciFi
channel.
If MST3K signs with the SciFi channel, you can bet that there will

Hello all,
I've gotten a lot of private requests for the web page address with the

Also, to those of you who have commented that you can read the
interview but not listen to it, you probably need some sort of sound
software. I used SoundPlayer 2.1 on my Macintosh (Its freeware, I
believe, and I'll be happy to send the file to anyone who asks. It's
116K), but there are plenty of freeware and shareware versions of sound

If it was 1531, then that would be Pizzaro. He crossed the Andes in 1530
and reached the heart of the Incan empire in 1532. Therefore, Vachon would
have been with Pizarro.
Look, ma! A historically correct history for Vachon. Yea!

we stop in the convenience store for a quick purchase, I spied an oatmeal creme
cookie (big one). I buy it, and as I leave I tear it in half and give half to
my 12 year old son. He looks at it and asks me what it is. I say it's an oatmeal
cookie. He says "No, it's nae oatmeal, oatmeal is nasty stuff that can stop a
bullet!!!" Needless to say I completely lost it.

Subject: SciFi informal poll results
After only a few days I got 38 responses to my informal poll about whether
you get the SciFI Channel or not. The results are quite even: 18 yes and
20 no. So, of all the people who cared enough to send me a message, only
half actually get the SciFi Channel. Of those who don't get it, the vast
majority said they wanted it.
I'll continue taking responses for a few more days, so if you'd like to
be counted send me a *private* message that has the word poll in the
subject line. And just so you know, I throw out all the messages as soon
as I count them. I'm not keeping a record of who voted and how.
