Do other primarily night hunting animals see in color? I honestly don't know. Wouldn't it be awful for them if they *did* go color blind?

I know I am almost a month behind on seeing this post and I never saw the site prier to seeing this post. Sweet Goddess! that any one could hate some one so much as to devise such a public and degrading site. I truly pity the person who wrote that site. I hope that they grow up and learn that they were being a little self-centered. I wish that this person could see how hurtful they have been and the public flame of such a personal nature was wrong.

Do other primarily night >hunting animals see in color? I honestly don't know. ooh, yay, a biology question!! In humans, rods allow us to see in low levels of light, and cones see color differences. There's no reason that a vampire's cones wouldn't work in regular light, although they're probably set up to be sensitive to much lower levels of light, so that they could see more colors at night. If anything, they'd have to worry about being blinded in bright lights because their photoreceptors are built for dim light.

Do other primarily night >hunting animals see in color? I honestly don't know. The part of the eye that actually receives information is only so big. It's packed with receptors for the information, and they can be of two types... They can either sense colour or light. Cat's eyes, for instance, are packed densely with light receptors and have very few colour receptors. Due to this, their eyesight during the day and in bright light isn't so good (just watch your cat struggle to find a bit of food on the kitchen floor when it's bright and you'll see what I mean), but their eyesight at night is fantastic. I'm not absolutely sure whether they can correctly identify colours or not, but due to the amount of colour receptors, I would expect not, or they would see in a much more washed-out form of colour, basically everything black and white but tinted slightly. Dogs, on the other hand, as far as I know, see only in black and white and cannot see colour at all, leading to the conclusion that they likely have no, or a very tiny amount of, colour receptors. Humans, on the other hand, have eyes with many colour receptors and not so many light receptors. This makes it so we can see very well in the daylight, and with the extra detail afforded by colour information, but can't see for crap at night. You would think that vampires, having been humans, would still have the same eye structures as humans. Over time, their eyes may become more densely packed with light receptors, which would reduce their ability to see in colour. >Anyone care to take on this and make me some cheese? My idea on the matter is that instead of gaining more light receptors and losing colour receptors, vampires instead get an amplification of the light receptors, especially when they use their night sight. Or they have a way to make the colour receptors become light receptors when they need them. This would explain Nick's vision going all to red when he uses his night sight. It separates out all of the colours but red (which, would make sense, as the jelly-like goop in eyeballs of vampires, vitreous humour, I think it is, would be blood-based, just like their sweat and tears. Thusly, when needing to see less fine detail and more to delve into the darkness beyond, the receptors would either amplify or change, giving them greater night vision when needed.

The only way I could see Screed's eye's seeing different is if he was brought across on a Vulcan's (star trek) copper-based blood. Then his eyes might turn green instead of red.

Hallo Has anybody out there an idea which crusade Nick was on? I alwasy thiught it was the sixth (well he could has joined them, only not as a mortal) but it obviously wasn't. He wasn't on the fourth because he would have been too young. Well the fifth was 1227/1228 A.D. and that's where the timeframe gets a little cluttered. (He can't be in Jerusalem and in Paris at the same time, or can he ?) So has anybody out at the list has any idea please share it with me, I'm very confused right at this moment.

I started watching FKon Canada's Showcase channel shortly before Christmas, because my supply of vampire novels dried up and I still needed a fix. I've been enjoying FK, and even have some fanfic under construction. Although Nick is very charming, he can drive me crazy; between him & Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's St.-Germain, I sometimes think they've got the market cornered on "moody and depressed". (I can just picture them commiserating in the corner of some medieval French tavern...) Besides, my heart has long belonged to a different vampire, someone more pragmatic than Nick and less brutal than Lacroix--a certain prince of Wallachia, who has been dictating his memoirs to Fred Saberhagen for many years. Showcase is about halfway through the third season now; hopefully they'll start all over again at the first season, so I can see what I missed. Yesterday they aired an episode with a flashback to the War of 1812 (sorry, the title escapes me). Sadly, it was the _wrong_ War of 1812. What was our all-Canadian vampire doing out in Russia with Boney, instead of helping to fight off those uppity Americans? If he'd taken up the Canadian cause, he wouldn't have had Lacroix to bother him any more, either--see what happens when your priorities get mixed up!

IIRC, vampires did lose most of the colors when using the vampiric sight, seeing only shades of gray, and red from the mammals. It sounds like a combination of predator b&w vision (which detects movement much better) and infrared to pick out the heat sources (usually mammalian). It also explains why fire is doubly effective as a defense, since the heat would effectively blind the infrared part of the vampiric sight. However, the human vampires would retain their human sight whenever they were *not* using the vampiric vision. How's that?

There was no mention of a brother. I postulated that Nick had an older brother who was to inherit the estate, which was why Nick became a knight, and that he died young.

I wouldn't necessarily call Nick "all-Canadian." He is at the time Forever Knight is set in the "present," but floats around the world otherwise to wherever life takes him. For example, he's also seen fighting in the American Civil War, and in the US at other times (as a professor of archaeology, for example) - or I *think* that was the US if I remember right ). He's in Britian, and apparently very British, for part of World War II, as well, if I'm not mistaken, in France for part of it. Nick seems to be a man of the world more than any particular country. Or at least he belongs in spirit to whatever country or cause he's currently involved in. And I hope you weren't calling *ALL* Americans uppity. There are people on this list from around the world and we respect and are friendly towards all. If he'd taken up the Canadian cause, he > wouldn't have had Lacroix to bother him any more, either--see what happens > when your priorities get mixed up! LaCroix takes up whatever cause suits him at the time. So no matter whomever Nick is fighting for, or where ever he travels, LaCroix follows. That seems to be a basic canon about FOREVER KNIGHT. Welcome to FORKNI-L, by the way, and when you see other episodes, you will realize what I'm talking about above. --Libs ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 08:24:01 -0700 From: Kyer <kyer@p.......> Subject: Re: Vampire sight Wrote James Marshall: (gave discourse on predator vision) However, the> human vampires would retain their human sight whenever they were *not*> using the vampiric vision. > > How's that?

Then, in the second season, we saw him sent to the Holy Land in 1220 as a punishment for a crime which he didn't commit. Maybe I should mention that "going on Crusade" could also mean just going to the Holy Land to join the Crusader garrisons. At least, in English, it doesn't have to mean that he joined an organized expedition. My German isn't good enough for me to know if that's true in German.

This is why your nightsight improves after about 10 minutes. It does, however, drain most of the colour from your vision. If you get a glimpse of white light, it's painful and your vision reverts almost instantly to bright light mode. Red light, though, does not affect it. So, could the night vision mode be the default?
