It seems so much more dignified to watch FK on the SciFi channel than on USA, where they appeal to the lowest common intelligence. SciFi, though owned by USA, seems to have more respect than its parent company IMO, and I will be able to hold my head high when I tell people on what channel I watch FK.

Alora said: >You mean other than withdraw USA backing from FK, thereby shifting the >entire financial burdon back to Paragon, Tele-Muchen (sp?) and TriStar >(a burden, BTW, which TriStar seemed perfectly content to live with >*before* USA ever got involved, but...)? Not exactly. I believe that in addition to the foregoing fund sources, FK production received money from the Ontario Film Commission (?) or some governmental body like that, and that money got cut back. In addition to which, a year ago January, when TriStar went to sell a third season in syndication at NATPE, it only received clearances (meaning stations that agreed to show FK) in about 50% of the country. Since the way ratings are calculated, that level of clearance meant that FK could not possibly attract advertisers, something else had to be done. Hence USA Network. HOWEVER -- it has been suspected by us conspiracists <g> that USA never intended to follow through on its deal to buy an entire third season. A syndicated station generally requires that there be 70 episodes of a program before it considers purchasing said program for syndication. A cable network does not. Hence some of us posited at the time of the USA pullout that perhaps USA invested in FK long enough to reach *its* own magic syndie number, and then cut the money off, hoping that TriStar would immediately cancel the rest of third season. If that happened, USA would not have any competition when it sought to buy FK reruns for future syndication, since without 70 episodes, local stations would not be interested. TriStar screwed them back, though, by finishing the season and reaching the magic 70. And since from what we're hearing, USA is going to air the rest of the third season after all, I think you can assume a subsequent deal between USA and TriStar was reached on that. (As part of the original USA/TS deal, USA had already received the right to broadcast first and second season for their initial syndication run.) And, while we're talking about the *crimes* of Kay Koplovitz, let's not forget the following: dumping Janette, dumping Captain Cohen, possibly impacting on John K's decision to leave, inflicting t&a sleeze and "Let's get naked!" on us, LaCroix Lite, and Tracy Vetter.

To me, that sums up the Nick perspective perfectly - I keep thinking back to the scene in LNMTA where Nick storms in where they are preparing to extract Natalie's heart. He had this protective "If you die, I'll die" look on his face. He was also laying his head over hers and encircling her with his arms (while still trying to keep a gun on the people against the wall) in a way that I can't help but interpret as love.

After having heard so much about the wretchedness of Ribena, I was surprised to find that I liked it. I wouldn't want to drink tons of it, and suspect that the actors problem with it is they have to drink and drink it in retake after retake. That could be a problem, but the stuff itself is tasty. The only caveat is that I had a rather nasty cough at the time and perhaps wasn't quite up to snuff.

It just doesn't seem to me as if he really, truly cares about her. He's too focused on his own angst and the "glorious attainment of mortality" redemntion objective to really be able to put anything into a relationship.

Once he was mortal, and > felt capable of fending for himself, he wouldn't. Here I disagree. Nick has been immortal for so long, that he doesn't think twice that his immortality has kept him alive in so many police situations, that had he been mortal he would have surely died. I can honestly see that if Nick did become mortal his instincts to help people in the same situations as before, the instinct would come before the: "I can't do that and still come out alive" thinking. He's relied on Nat so many times to "patch him up" after being shot. I think he'd need her a hell of a lot more once he became mortal, if only to remind him that he's not an immortal anymore, and to be careful.

TCI*the* cable for my part of southern Rhode Island, doesn't carry the Sci Fi channel. Westerly cable doesn't. Cox (I believe) in the norther parts of the state doesn't. Rhode Island SFKers to arms--at least, please let me know : Do you have cable?? If yes, with what cable company___________ If no, would you get it *if* they carried the SciFi channel?? I don't have cable currently, but would get it (inspite of being one of those impoverished folk whose budget it would stretch) *if* they had SciFi. I intend to tell "my" cable company that when I call and write---I'm surveying (friendly) neighbors and would like some feedback from the rest of RI. I truly panicked when I found out that should I save my hard earned pennies and signed on, I still wouldn't get FK after May......(Sob, sob, sob).... I don't *stay* up for the current 1:35 showing; I set my alarm for 1:20 (I know that's sort of cheating, but I work from 8 a.m. till 7 p.m. on Saturdays.. sniff)...anyway, if you are Rhode Island FK folk, please be in touch --I want to compile as big a *whammy* as I can before calling in. Thanks.

Anything is worth it to keep/bring back FK. And since we all know that we are doing it for a purpose it is still part of War 6 and doesn't compromise our integrity, etc., etc., etc. I say--we do what it takes. I agree with Jamie's analyses and proposed planning..... again....Carla and Joanna ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Mar 1996 13:07:22 -0500 From: Katja Stokley <cstokley@c.......> Subject: I'm so happy!

Well, I had to get it, and man it was _terrible_. It was poorly taped, had _bad_ acting, bad lighting (_spotlights_ in a parking lot! at night!) Special effects were terrible. The fangs looked fake and the vampire's mouth bulged when the teeth were in. There was a lot of posing and stock footage, choppy dialogue, gunshots unrealistic. They even had the 'heavy breathing cam' (the camera where all we hear is heavy breathing and a heartbeat) which of course was never used for a vampire's point of view. This movie is rated R for language, violence, nudity, and sexual content. If the sexual content was taken out, the movie would be no more than 45 minutes (it's 1 hour 28 minutes). OK, if you really want to know more: The vampire cop, William Lucas, is about 100 years old, has a southern accent, and is on the vice squad. When he gets shot, there's no blood or no holes where he got shot, and, get this, he sleeps *upside down*. (he also watches t.v. that way.) He is on the trail of a pimp/drug dealer, and during a bust, his partner is killed. According to what I saw, Lucas got his meals from criminals (he stops one guy from raping a girl, then 'drinks him dry'), and prostitutes. 30 minutes into the movie, Lucas has said no more than 4 lines. The heroine of the movie [who is one of those fluffy headed beauties (No, her name isn't Tracy, even though one of the supporting cast is named Traci)], is a tv reporter named Melonie Roberts. Her big stories in the past include "Trans-sexual housepets" and "New fashions for cross-dressers". Wow, deep woman. Drug dealer bitten by Lucas, becomes vampire and bites Melonie. Then Melonie shoves him into the sunlight, and of course, she has to run out and watch him burn to a crisp (it was so fake). Later on, we see that Melonie got turned into a vampire when she bites the anchorman on her tv news show. This movie looks like it ripped FK off (my personal opinion), and here's my arguements: 1)Movie shows scenes of city while sun goes up and down. 2)Lucas is in angst city: "I didn't ask to be a vampire, and I can't help what I am. But at least this way I can rationalize that I'm helping society" (paraphrase). I rolled my eyes when he said that. There was one good line in the movie that I'd like to share if ya'll let me (You will? Wow, you're so generous!). When the drug dealer found out that Lucas was a vampire and confronted him (holding the 'heroine' at gun point I might add), the drug dealer said "That's a nasty overbite you have." I think that was the only good part of the movie. Looks like I wasted $7.00. <Sigh> Oh, well. -- Cousin April -- the Ninja Babe with an attitude aruskin@e.......

I was watching the episode on Fox last Friday...I can't remember the name off the top of my head...but it was the one where Nat goes for knee surgery and the doctor really wants to transplant her heart.. Anyway, I saw this one before and I am a reletively new watcher(FINALLY someone (USA) started showing the show in this area) Anyway..to get to the point does Tracy know Vachon is a vampire?/ I got the impression she does when she was asking him for information. But I thought she doesn't believe in vampires.... I know she has no clue that Nick is a Vampire. By the way...what kind of doctor does Nat see that wants to schedule surgery for the middle of the night?? remember Nick was supposed to pick her up AFTER his shift..... THanks, Lisa ...who now is completely hooked on FK...and the cable company won't carry the SciFi channel (but we NEED 3 shopping channels) :( corkl@m.......a ------------------------------ End of FORKNI-L Digest - 22 Mar 1996 - Special issue ****************************************************
