Subject: YKYBWTMFK
when you're watching the beginning of "Early Edition" and the lead character
is in an explosion. When the smoke cleared and he opened his eyes, I did an
double take and thought "The explosion turned him into a vampire??!!!" since
they were using the FK season 2 & 3 contacts. It seems, however, that he
was only blinded.

At the risk of becoming another target for furious N&Npackers throwing daisy
and protein shake bombs (<g>), neither do I:
Nick falls in love waaay too easily. Just lookit all the bimbos he's had.
And I'm not even counting the ones from the Pit.
Both are prone to the Green-Eyed Monster----and I'm not referring to vampire
eyes here. (Need I cite episodes for this? )
Nick's protective nature would eventually drive independent-minded Natalie
to drink (her own concotions.) It takes a certain kind of personality to
appreciate Old World gentlemanly ways. Most modern women I know, get
annoyed (FemiNazi-ish) when a guy holds a door open for them. ("What'za
matter, buster? Think I'm too weak to handle a door?" <thwak> "Ow!")
Should Nick become mortalized, he'd be too black & blue from Nat's thwaking
to appreciate life. He needs coddling---not thwaking.
I don't think Natalie properly appreciates the value of trunk space.
Natalie would make him get rid of the Caddy for something more sporty. Like
a Prowler. (No---wait---that would be LaCroix. LaCroix doesn't need trunk
space---to old and powerful.)
Nat needs an independent and feisty type to match her personality.
Nat belongs with Sydney.
Nick, obviously, belongs with me.
Now, before you all jump in to permanently deform my face, please note the
deformity it already has. That lump in my right cheek?---is from my tongue.

That's what we have factions for, right? >G<
I AM glad that we can all share on this list, knowing that every
person on it is an individual, with individual tastes and opinions.
That, at least, is something I think we can agree on!

Heh, I kind of agree. While I admit to being a NNPacker (a pathetically
romantic one at that), I appreciate it when Nick and Nat are thrown together
in a believable situation, and they have believable reasons for starting
their relationship. For instance, if an author has them married, then there
better be a good reason, or a good explanation, because under normal
circumstances that just wouldn't happen (I mean, heck, three years and I
don't think either one of them actually said 'I love you'). There needs to
be some driving force, and a pretty strong one at that.

Tim Phillips asked: Is "Nick Knight" the movie with Rick Springfield?
Yes, definitely!

I'll keep an eye out for it on Lifetime since I faithfully read and
highlight my TV Guide every week. In the mean time, most of the video
dealer at the sci-fi conventions I've attended both here in the states and
Canada have had copies on their tables.
For starters...I can't imagine anyone beside Nigel Bennett as LaCroix, could
you?!
Michael Nader from "All My Children" played LaCroix in the movie. He did a
very different portrayal of LaCroix than Nigel Bennett, and as the Cleveland
CBS affiliate decided the run repeats of "All in the Family" instead of FK,
Michael Nader's portrayal was all I knew until one of our independent
stations picked up second season. Sometimes, when I read fanfic where
LaCroix is acting particularly evil, I remember Michael Nader's take on the
character because he played LaCroix with absolutely no redeeming or human
qualities whatsoever.

vampire again! It would a sad oversight, IMHO, that if there were to be any
movies, Janette would not be included. >>
The main problem with this is that Deb has retired from acting. She said that
acting wasn't healthy for her, so she retired. I guess they could find
someone else, but I know the Raven/ette's most likely wouldn't like that.

Like, perhaps, he was the first guy she *really* had the hots for (as
opposed the friend-of-the-family's son who the parents hope she'll marry
and she's led a sheltered enough life to not have known the difference)????

Subject: topic chage - Create & Cast a New Fem.Vamp for LC
OK, as we're all discussing the thought on FK and what could possibly
happen if we got lucky enough for hell to freeze over and Lifetime
actually considered picking up FK.
Then the discussion on how Deb is retired, and it'd be hard to replace
Janette... it led me into wondering how a new strong female vamp could
be introduced, and who would play her.
I can picture LC hooking up with a very old, very powerful female vamp..
perhaps a Council of Elders type, or normal-looking Enforcer type. Or,
maybe just an old friend. Maybe another Roman? Think of the potential
grief for Nick in the case!
And who would I cast for her?
The first person that popped to mind was Meg Foster, she of the
incredibly light green eyes. (so light green, they're spooky!) She's
got an incredibly regal bearing, and has played women in unusually
powerfully positions many times before. (She played Hera on
Hercules/Xena, and Evil-Lyn in Masters of the Universe.)
Discuss among yourselves... :-)

Nigel...
Have you been moonlighting <g> on us again, and not telling?
While searching around the IMDb, I found the following on John Cleese
(he of Monty Python, Fish Called Wanda, etc. fame)
********************
John Cleese
Birth name
John Marwood Cleese
Date of birth (location)
27 October 1939,
Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, England, UK
Trivia
Member of the comedy group "Monty Python" ... (show more)
Sometimes Credited As:
Kim Bread
John Otto Cleese
Nigel Farquhar-Bennett
********************
So just maybe there *is* some basis for those couple of Monty Python/FK
crossover stories. :-)

Subject: Different View - an idea for FK writers
Hi -
I had this idea for a writing challenge. The short version, you write a
story using randomly selected FK characters. And, if it works out, it'd be
really cool to compile the stories in a charity zine.
So, if you'd like to try something a little different with some FK
writing, please drop me a line and I'll send you an invite for an egroup.
There you can read the complete proposal, and see if this is a project you
would like to participate in.
My email: sclark@b........
Permission granted to pass this info around to other lists, as
appropriate.
regards,
