Subject: FK Vidcap Archive update
Just a note to let folks know that I'm busy working on the Season 3
archive now. I have the first five episodes up (including zip files
for download). There are lots of yummy pics, including Vachon and
Tracy, and on page 2 of "Blackwing", some really great shots of Screed. :-)
I'm going to be doing my best to finish up the Season 3 archive, but
from now until the end of November, I have some serious writing I
need to attend to, so I can't promise that the eps will go up
quickly. After that, I'll try to work harder to get the season done.
In the meantime, take a look, and don't forget to come back often and
check up on the progress. The URL is:

Enjoy!

They also proved rockets could not fly in space, too.

Somehow, I don't think he factored in all the "interrupted meals", the
"sipping" and...the "Honestly Nicholas, must you drink steer?" moments in his
calculations. And we all know that vampires don't always turn their victims into
vampires. What would the Enforcers say?

As a writer, I actually found that the quartet of
Nick-Natalie-Tracy-Vachon gave me some interesting
plot mechanisms.
I'm not overly fond of most of the changes made S3,
but I will STILL say that "My Boyfriend Is A Vampire"
is one of my fave eps.

Subject: Re: Am I Misunderstanding Something?
I understand what your saying; but I hate the old tale of blond, blue eyed
and the comissioneer's daughter trying to prove herself with a hard nose
Detective even he is a vampire. It don't work in any story, but I would have
loved to see Schanke find out about Nick and jokingly needle him, plus watch
LaCroix and Nick bond closer now that he owns the club and the shared the
death of Vachon Urs, and Divia, that would have worked nicely.
My opinion only.

Their math is bogus. They assume that every feeding results in a new
recruit. They also posit maximum reproduction for vampires but not for
humans. If you follow the same logic for the prey, humans can begin
reproducing at 12 and produce about one offspring a year until they're 40.
Did they go into the math for that end of things? Of course not! You can
use the same math to prove that there should be a number of cockroaches that
is greater than the entire biomass of the planet, but obviously that's not
the case, at least not outside of Manhattan. ;p
If you took FK vampires, which can choose whether to create a new vampire
and for whom such reproduction doesn't always work anyway, then it's much
more feasible. ;-)

This researcher also bases his hypothesis on the premise that the first vampire
"appeared" in 1600, when the legend dates back much earlier in human history,
as
well as being cross-culture.
Not much "research" done, IMO --

Subject: S3 DVD packaging
I took a look at the actual packaging last night, and
I liked the images on the inside, but I was very
disappointed with the trilogy on the outside; I wish
Sony had used Catherine Disher instead of Lisa Ryder
in place of Janette.
With the end of the show, and Nick's ending for his
quest for mortality, it seems to me that using Natalie
would be the logical final image on the front of S3.

Subject: Re: Scientist proves vampires can't exist
Which brings up the question in the vampire mythos:
when did the process change from just being bitten to
having to actually drink the master's blood?
In most of the European folk tales, there is no
mention of actually having the victim needing to drink
the blood to turn; Ann Rice obviously employed it, but
when WAS this MO first used in fiction?
