In Francesca, Nick specifically says that he can see how someone died by
drinking their blood -- so yes, he could see the murderer, assuming the
victim knew who the murderer was. But he'd have to prove it some other way,
of course.
You're right, it would make a good story. In fact, it _did_ make a good
story -- see Unforgettable, starring Ray Liotta and Linda Fiorentino.
But that movie really left a lot to be desired, so by all means, correct the
faults and write the fiction!

And I reply(I wish AOL would do this for me)
Nick gives a big long speech to Nat about why drinking blood is fun, while
Catherine Disher gives very nice but slightly over-directed reaction shots,
and he says that every drop of blood contains who you are, and that in
drinking you can see everything, including "how they died." Can someone post
the exact text for me?

Given the name -- de Brabant -- he's from a noble house in what is now
Belgium (Brabant was a duchy). Odds are that if he was near _home_, back
from the crusades, he was not in Paris, but further north.

Subject: HF: a question for Ravens
I take it HF is out of spoiler protection now that it's been repeated? If
not, apologies in advance.
I have a question for the Ravens/Ravenettes out there. I know many of you
were dissatisfied with the character of Janette as protrayed in HF. As a
relative newbie, I would be very interested in learning how Ravens percieve
Janette and why that perception seemed at odds with the things that
happened to her in HF. I'm not trying to start an argument; I just really
want to know, partly because I want to get the post-HF Janette right in my
fanfic.
The first time I saw HF, I had seen only one pre-3rd-season ep: Fate Worse
Than Death (which, of course, provides its own insights into the character
of Janette). I found HF fascinating if somewhat hard to believe from a
scientific standpoint (and I have my own theory that explains, pretty
convincingly, that she was never really mortal, though she believed she
was). I liked Janette, as portrayed in HF, very much.
Now I've seen all of first season and much of second. Seeing HF again from
that perspective was interesting, but I still didn't have a problem
reconciling the HF Janette with the pre-HF Janette. In fact, I found her HF
behavior to be very much like the behavior she exhibited as a mortal in
FWTD--a little shy, fiercely devoted to those she cared for, maternal. The
main thing I see missing is the overt sensuality and the self-confidence
she usually showed Nick (but often lost in the presence of LaCroix).
Please enlighten me--and tread gently, y'all. I don't want anyone upsetting
anyone else--I just want to *understand*. TIA!

Hi all --
Should there be spoiler space for this ep?
Ah well.
SPACE
SPACE
SPACE
SPACE

There we are. And about this ep -- I was slightly underwhelmed. I was
hoping that it would be more of a "Nick struggles with his nature" ep
rather than a "Nick, cop on a mission" ep. I was hoping that there would
be more of an emphasis on how the game was forcing Nick to backslide. Oh
well.
What I didn't understand (apart from how they all guessed that it would be
an anagram - how did they know to call it a jackknife? I would have just
said "knife.") was how Nick didn't flinch or anything when he went into the
virtual church. I mean, he was kept at bay by that gal Megan and her
luminous cross. You can't tell me that he's come *that* far since "For I
Have Sinned." I dunno - the whole ep just struck me as kind of silly.
Well, not the "Nick backsliding" part. Mostly the whole idea of the game.
If I had been that gamewoman, I would have been glad to get away with it; I
wouldn't have attracted more attention to myself by killing a cop after
leading him to myself. But that's just me. And that's just my "too
sense."

When was this? Was this in *Amateur Night*? If it was, that wasn't
Toronto PD. It was Chicago PD, some moons ago. He was supposedly
transferring from Edinburgh. Loved the accent!

Subject: questions, questions, questions
I'm new to this mailing list, and to Forever Knight. I just 'discovered' it
last week, and was hooked! I can see why it has a following, and I already
mailed my letters trying to get it back on.
Ok, my questions:
How 'allergic' is Nick to sunlight? It seems he can be in a room where the
ambiant light is sunlight, but he can't stand one second of being outdoors
in the day. I have a vague interest in vampires, and I know some sources
say that older vampires can stand the sun for short periods of time. This
doesn't seem to apply to Nick...
Also, I would *really* like to get the soundtrack..am I right in thinking
that it is out? I saw a web page that said it was due in February, but I
don't know if it meant last February or the next one. A friend says it is
out, but I can't find it. If it is out, could someone give me a hint as to
where to get it?
And, anyone know an ftp source that has the FK logo? Maybe even with the
skyline like in the title?
Um..I can't think of any more ?'s, but I'm sure I'll come up with some soon

Subject: 200 Responses!/Brought the pizza guy across!
Hi guys!
It's Saturday night, inputting survey responses, & thought I'd let you know
that I think we got 200 responses for the "Early Returns Analysis" Thanks
to all who responded! Keep them coming in! It's not over yet. Next goal
is a total of 500+ by Septmeber & 1000+ by end of 1996! Keep sending in
your repsonses!
Inputs are taking longer than I thought, and a little real life is slowing
me down. So, I probably won't have the analysis (stats only) ready to
publish till 7/8 (house guest coming to town, who needs my shoulder...
going through a divorce).
However, she WILL be brought across in the process. (Imagining Nick/Ger
as her rebound guy!!!!)
OBFK: I brought the pizza guy across! I'm cleaning/unpacking my house to
make way for my houseguest & a party I'm giving next Sat. To help bribe
myself to get the boring stoff done, I was listing to the second half of
the FK CD, for the first time & the pizza guy comes to the door. I think
it was the suite from AMPH playing in the background, on my professional
quality stereo (glad I got SOMETHING from years in radio), and the pizza
guy makes a remark something like "Hmm... sounds like a movie." In
uncharacteristic (trust me) brashness, I said, "It's the soundtrack from
Forever Knight TV show." He said he liked it alot, and as he turned to
go, I told him about the show being on SciFi Monday nights.
He's gonna watch!
Ah, all this and pizza too!

Subject: Virtual Season
OK, I've been reading the stuff on the SPOILER list about a virtual
season. (Yes, I'm a month behind in reading :>). First off, I'm not a
writer. I applaud those who have the ability to write, or those that
at least try.
1) I am on a few fanfic lists and it seems that most fanfic writers use
their own version of canon. They decide who is and isn't involved in
the story. In FK, they decide whether, in their story, Janette is
alive or dead. Schanke and Cohen and Vachon etc., same thing. I can
definitely see the possibility of hurt feelings when one person's story
is rejected in favor of another, etc. But, and I don't mean to sound
cruel, that's the author's problem. Anyone who submits a story for
this VS does so fully understanding that their story may not be
accepted.
2) If Tippi and whoever else want to do the Virtual Season thing, then
why shouldn't their committee decide who is alive and who is dead.
After all, writers who want to write a different version are free to do
so. If Tippi et al decide that Janette is alive and Nat is rescued and
Nick is mortal or whatever, other writers are still free to write their
own version of what happened after LK, and in their version, Nat is
dead, Nick is still a vamp, and LaCroix has completely flipped his lid
and decided to be a mortal too. Just because it isn't under the
"Virtual Season" header doesn't mean it's not a good story and it
doesn't mean that it won't get read. On some of the other lists, a
group of people come up with an idea, a premise, they decide the basic
rules, and then other people write stories following those guidelines
and it's great. I see this situation as being no different. TJ,
Sorcha, and Tippi come up with a basic idea, the basic rules, and other
people write stories that fit those guidelines.
3) Someone mentioned that they feel other fiction will be pushed out of
the way and will be ignored, while the VS episodes are discussed at
length. I see no reason for this to happen. Just because I'm
discussing story A doesn't mean I can't also post my opinions on story
B. :)
I think this VS thing sounds like a wonderful idea. I don't know how
much trouble it is to set up the topics like ADULT, VS, etc., but
perhaps if another group doesn't like what TJ and Co. come up with,
they can start up their own version of Season Four with another set of
writers and a new set of basic rules and premises.
As I understand it, none of the people interested in this VS have said
they want it become "canon" (After all, seems to me the people who
actually wrote the shows had the attitude of "Canon? We don't need no
stinkin' canon!" :>) so those not interested in accepting it as what
would happen if there were a "real" 4th season are free not to. And as
for the writers of the VS being hurt and offended by the critiques from
the general membership, yes I can understand that. But isn't that true
of any writer. I mean, say John Grisham writes a book and the readers
think it's a bomb. I'm sure it hurts him but it doesn't stop him from
writing another. And if the writers would rather not read the
critiques from the list membership, then skip over them, just as they
would a spoiler for show they hadn't seen yet or whatnot. In this
case, when discussing a VS episode on the list, members should just put
something like VS:"The Title" or something and then the writer would
know to skip that part.
Cheers!
Shane

i thought in "francesca" she killed the musician by *first* a direct stab
in the heart ("to instantly stop the flow of blood") and then draining-
from the dead body__that's why what's-his-face the cross-dresser copied
what Francesca did in the previous life. so the blood drawn there was
probably still "dead"--then maybe it depends on how fresh it was, *and*--
something Francesca said, i don't remember--she would basically frenzy up
the victim-to-be first, so more colorful emotion would be present in his
blood *at the moment* he was killed. i don't quite remember all the details,
but i think that was it...
which means one could infer that, if a murder victim was suddenly killed
and didn't have time to build up a reaction beforehand, Nick (or any other
vamp) might not be able to discover exactly what happened.
uhhhh....i think....

direct sunlight, the really bright kind, seems to be the most destructive
from what i've seen. also, i've noticed in at least two cases where Nick
was fine outdoors (day) when he was in shadow, but in another case
where simply being outdoors was smoking. at first i thought it was UV
content--outdoors, regardless of shade, UV is much higher than indoors,
when even windows block out a good portion of the stuff. but that's
getting too much into it ;)
i've thus wondered how Nick would react to a really rainy day
sans a single sunbeam.. is it the sun? other sunly radiation? or simply the
time of day? (which sounds more gargoyles-y than vampish)
older vamp resistance? that's interesting . .
nah, we don't want to give them too much power. ;P

It appears that it's *direct* sunlight only that affects vampires--a
sunbeam, not simply ambient light. I've no idea if a good mirror would
qualify...
It all comes down to the question of what it is about sunlight that
affects a vampire, and that's open. UV? Probably not, since some modern
lighting puts out some UV. Whatever it is, it appears to be only in a
sunbeam (neutrinos?).
We've seen Nick dash across sunlit areas, smoldering, several times, even
dart out into the sunlight, briefly.
Older vampires may be able to take more than he because they are older...
or because he's sort of starving himself -- LaCroix more than once chides
Nick for his weak command of his powers; it's implied that he neglects
them, I think it's a combination of lack of human blood, lack of just
being a vampire, and partially lack of practice.

I agree in theory for sure, but, jeezzz, as *good* as the CD is, it's kinda
like asking Nick, in the weakest of moments, to only *sip*. How about if
we keep calling the stores to ask if they have it, even though we
(translate: me, unable to wait) ordered it from Crescendo already?

Subject: Last Reminder: FK Fave Episode Survey!
Yes, I _am_ posting about this once again, for the very last time, one final
reminder: The FK favourite episode survey ends on July 1st -- I will be
accepting votes up until midnight, July 2nd (you know, the midnight that
borders the 1st and the 2nd).
So, for those of you who haven't voted, c'mon, what have you got to lose?
Please email me and let me know:
1) One fave ep for each of the three seasons (two parters count as one)
2) One least fave ep of all
3) Your reasons for your choices
And once again, I remind you that if you have a friend off-line who likes FK,
or if you have an online friend who doesn't subscribe to this list, feel free
to tell me their choices or to have them send me a ballot.

I accused CD of being over-directed in Fran, and Pat wrote:
I apologize for being pedantic but Nigel said that he didn't direct Ger and
Cath in that scene at all. He had the camera roll and let them have at it.
My response:
I stand corrected. But my assessment stands in the sense that CD was, I
think, a little too aware of her own performance -- usually that stems from
over-direction. In this case, I suppose it was an over-*inner*-direction.

Subject: It's a little thing
I've taken to wearing one of my FK t-shirts every Saturday (other days
too, but especially Saturday). Saturday is the night when FK is on here
in Ft Myers.
Inevitably someone asks me about the shirt (the "official" shirt and the
Raven shirt seem to elicit the most comments). This gives me the chance
to proselytize a bit. I've introduced several people to the show, and
helped a number of others who had lost track of when and where to find it.
It's a little thing, and I rarely get a chance to follow up, but little
things add up.
I have heard back from one of the cashiers at the local 7-11 and a deputy
county clerk. Both of them were very enthusiastic about the show...after
only one episode!

Went to Sam Goody's in Knoxville and asked for the cd. The salesperson said
that he had been trying and trying to get the cd, but that stock is running
low. He told me to keep checking back and he hoped to have it in soon! Seems
to me that somebody better get in there and make some more to sell, huh?????
