Subject: looking for a tape of one ep of Slings & Arrows
Argh! I missed Slings & Arrows on Sundance both Sunday & today, which
means that I do not have ep #4 (I think it's ep. #4--I caught the last
5 min. & it's the one where GWD's character is fired). Is there a kind
soul out there who could make me a copy of this? I would, of course,
pay for the tape & shipping & handling.....

Subject: The bringing of Richard across.
As I recall before he brought Richard across, Nick talked to Janette. At
which time Janette asked him if he was prepared for the eternal bond.
Nick's response was he didn't think that was necessary.
That being the case some of what Nick did when he brought Richard
across may have been deliberate on his part.
In his defence it is that which he resents in his relation with LaCroix.
He may not have wanted to burden Richard with something he finds burdensome.
In other words he was attempting to give Richard the freedom he had never
had been given by LaCroix..
It's a very human response in that we often try do the opposite to
what somebody has done to us and in doing end up quite often end up
making a mess the other way. With Nick it was quite mess probably for
reasons which Portia mentioned in her discussion on Fledglings.

Yeah, that's it. ALthough because I was blanking on
the title, I was wondering if there was a new one out
there lol. I may even still have that one in hard copy
from my library days. I gotta look because if not, I'm
so bookmarking it.
If I haven't told you before, Nancy, you did

Thanks, Mel! I have to admit that story is my second biggest in the
feedback department (first is "Crossroad"---yes, I admit to keeping a
printout of all feedback emails for all my stories, when I am blocked
or depressed about my writing I can open a file and reread nice
things).

I can also see Eccleston's Doctor comparing leather jackets with
Vachon while Rose and Tracy sit off to the side and roll their eyes
over "boys with toys".

Subject: Who is Dr. Who?
Okay, I know that it was an old TV show, but what country produced it, and
what year? I've never seen an episode--maybe too young or it wasn't shown
in my area when I was a kid. I understand the new version is starting on
the Sci-Fi? Is it about vampires? Is that why everyone is mentioning it
here with FK? Could someone please post a brief synopsis so those who don't
know who Dr. Who is can decide if we want to watch this show? I'm hoping
there's something about vampires in Dr. Who.

Dr. Who, a British show, in its original run was one
of the longest running shows in television history.
It premiered the week Kennedy was shot.
Here is the an article at Wikipedia

It was produced by the BBC, and is one of the longest (if not *the*
longest) running science fiction show in television. It began in the
mid-1960s and initially ran continuously until the late 80's. About
10 years ago, Fox produced a made-for-TV movie that did not do very
well at all. Last year, BBC began producing a new series of Doctor
Who episodes, which were finally picked up by Sci-Fi just before
Season 2 is about to start in Britian.
> I understand the new version is starting on the Sci-Fi? Is it about
vampires?
It is not about vampires, no, although there have been vampire-like
aliens that have appeared in a couple of the old episodes.
> Is that why everyone is mentioning it here with FK?
I think it's only coming up because McLisa mentioned it in passing in
her admin post. It's simply another sci-fi cult classic show that has
a lot of crossover potential.

Since Laurie's posted the link to Wikipedia, I won't restate what you
can find there. I personally think there is a lot of appeal to
various audiences, but it is not specifically about vampires, no.

It's a BBC (British) show; it originally ran from 1963 to 1989.
The Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey; he originally
got bored with Time-Lord society and stole a TARDIS (Time and
Relative Dimensions in Space) which got stuck in the shape
of a police call box. The Doctor has been played by William
Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter
Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy. Paul McGann
was the Doctor in a recent TV movie that was supposed to be
the pilot of a new show, but the ratings in the U.S. were too
low, even though the movie was pretty good. Last year, the
BBC started a new show with Christopher Eccleston which
was a success, and now it's coming to the Sci-Fi Channel.

Subject: Re: Who is Dr. Who?
Yep, that explains it! I was too young for the show, and it probably wasn't
broadcast in Alabama (where I grew up) on the three stations we received. I
barely remember Kennedy's assassination.
I went to the Sci-fi web site, and it looks like a time-travel sci-fi, war
of the worlds type story? No vampires that I can see! :-(
Thanks, Laurie

well like someone else said, it's not a vampire show as such. However, there
was at least one episode that I can recall which dealt with a vampire like alien
creature. Which had transformed three humans into vampires to be its servants...
I'm surprised no one's tried a FK/DR Who fanfic....IMHO that would be
interesting. Particularly if LaCroix/Nick et al ran into the same Doctor
who had encountered the alien described above heh

I'm not sure where in Alabama you grew up, but in Birmingham, it was
showing on the PBS station -- new episodes and syndicated ones -- as
late as the early 90's. I wasn't born until '78, but I still grew up
watching the Doctor. But it wasn't exactly something that was ever
marketed over here, so you would have had to know about it or have
heard about it in order to find it.

Peter Cushing played The Doctor *quite* well in two movies about "Dr. Who and
the Daleks," one set in present day (approx. 1966???), the other in the
future. In watching the new British series (quite good), this is the ONLY Doctor
not mentioned in "the count," Paul McGann's TV Movie Doc is counted in the
"regenerations." Of note is that, IIRC, Peter Cushing's portrayal is the *only*
time The Doctor has actually been CALLED "Doctor Who," by name; of this part I
am sure, as I have, and have watched both movies a number of times <g>
(available on DVD). Since then, he has simply been called, "The Doctor." I
could be mistaken about that part, please feel free to correct me!!
A Time Lord can regenerate "only" 12 times; but I bet they come up with a way
around THAT, since our friend is the last of his species, his home planet and
all other Time Lords having been destroyed in "The Last Time War" (This is no
spoiler, they tell you right off in the beginning of the new series,
*promise!*).
I can think of no way to relate this to Forever Knight, except for
__endless__ crossover possibilities; I particularly like Mclisa's, "what if Dr.
Who was in Last Knight," and Laurie's potential meeting of LC and The Doctor,
LOLOL!!

Actually, there is one FK/Dr. Who crossover that I know of. I can't remember

It's a NN story, and if anyone is interested I'll look it up when I get home.
I have the story archived on my laptop.

Subject: Looking For an HL/FK (Possibly) Crossover Story?
Hello Again (gosh, I hope this comes out better than my last post!!)!
I am trying to help out a Highlander Listmate, who is looking for a story; I
am cutting and pasting the post here, with permission, of course, if anyone
recognizes the story, that would sure be great, thanks!! Here is the post:
I'm trying to find a fanfic I saw years ago, unfortunately I can't remember
the title or the author :p
It was a crossover between Highlander and some other TV show--I think Forever
Knight--that had to do with vampires. Some vampire crossed paths with Ritchie
and tried to 'turn' him, not realizing he was already Immortal. The resulting
conflict between the Immortal and vampire natures drove Ritchie temporarily
nuts and had members of both groups (immortals and vamps) trying to track him
down... does anyone remember a story like this?
There you have it; thanks in advance!

I don't recall the title, but it was a crossover with a show called,
I think, The Masquerade (it's not one I'd ever seen). It may have
been written by one or both of the Duncan twins. If you can't find it
with that scanty info, let me know---I'm sure I can hunt it down in
my HL fanfic collection.

Subject: Question for fic
Woo Hoo!!!! I am actually writing (and close to finishing) a story.
It has been a while. Don't get too excited, this one is just a
little ditty, I have a bunch more languishing in my "In Progress"
folder.
Anyhoo...
What, in Toronto, would be a non-religious venue for a wedding? The
time is around Oct/Nov, so outdoor is not an option.
I am looking for something that has the atmosphere of a church, but
without the religious aspect. If there isn't a definite answer, I'll
just make one up. The location isn't that integral to the plot.
Oh, and along those lines... in Canada, would a non-religious
officiate be a judge? Or who would the standard officiate be at such
a ceremony?
Thanks!!!
