Bram Stoker used this process in Dracula, with Mina Harker, back in
the 1890's.
So Forever Knight's vampire-creation process is part of a fine long-standing
literary tradition.

Here's the scene, from chapter 21 (via
http://www.literature.org/authors/stoker-bram/dracula/chapter-21.html):

"Kneeling on the near edge of the bed facing outwards was the
white-clad figure
of [Harker's] wife. By her side stood a tall, thin man, clad in
black. His face
was turned from us, but the instant we saw we all recognized the
Count, in every
way, even to the scar on his forehead. With his left hand he held both Mrs.
Harker's hands, keeping them away with her arms at full tension. His
right hand
gripped her by the back of the neck, forcing her face down on his bosom. Her
white night-dress was smeared with blood, and a thin stream trickled down the
man's bare chest which was shown by his torn-open dress. The attitude
of the two
had a terrible resemblance to a child forcing a kitten's nose into a saucer of
milk to compel it to drink."


Your humble & obedient servant,
Angela Gottfred

can't exist

McLisa has given me permission to step in should I see something that
needs to be addressed ADMIN wise. Since her and Don haven't stepped
in....

   Please remember all discussion of vampires must directly relate to
Forever Knight. This is as per "Rule 6" of the FORKNI-L rules which
are posted every weekend by Don or McLisa:

   6. This list is for the discussion of Forever Knight and related
topics.  *snip* Discussion of non-FK vampires or vampires in general
is not ok.
*snip*

   Thank you.

Now back to our regularly scheduled insanity (within the rules....)

Apparently TPTB are still trying to at least give the impression that
Nick and Tracy were supposed to get involved (the original plan, from
what I understand). And they were actively trying to dump Catherine.

Oh, well, I just ignore Tracy and Vachon as much as possible. I'm a
first/second season person. Schanke and Janette rule!

Subject: PRAYER:  Mother

Hello Everyone,

   I've got some bad news to share with you all.  My stepdad had
rushed my mother to the hospital earlier this afternoon, and I just
received word about fifteen minutes ago that she is listed in
critical condition.  She had not been feeling well this entire week,
and has been incoherent when talking (she seemed to be mumbling or
sounds like she was talking in her sleep).  Yesterday, my stepdad
told me she was either coughing up or vomiting blood.  She had
refused to go to the hospital when he had called the ambulance Monday
and she had a slight fever then.  She is an insulin dependent
diabetic.  When I call the hospital he had taken her to, they where
still working on her and that was about five minutes ago.  They
couldn't tell me anything yet about her condition and suggested that
I call back in about an hour.  I will try to post updates as I get
them, until then I hope you will keep us in your prayers and I know
the more people that pray the better the outcome.

   Thanks a whole lot,
   Cassie

Subject: scientists say vampires can't exist

Yes, VIRGINIA, there are vampires. They exist as certainly as love
and gluttony and that delicious shiver that courses up your spine
exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its
highest enjoyment and excitement. Alas! How dreary would be the world
if there were no vampires! It would be as dreary as if there were no
VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no
romance, no entrancing stories of things that go bump in the night to
make tolerable this existence. We should have no joy, except in sense
and sight. The eternal fear of darkness which spices childhood the
world over would be extinguished.

Not believe in vampires! You might as well not believe in germs! You
might get your papa to hire men to stand vigil over all the coffins
on All Hallow's Eve to stake a vampire, but even if they did not see
a single vampire emerging from his darkness, what would that prove?
Nobody sees vampires, but that is no sign that there are none.  The
most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men
can see. Did you ever see microbes dancing on your tonsils? Of course
not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive
or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the
world.

You toss a baseball at the t.v. screen to see all the little Arthur
Godfreys inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which
not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the
strongest man that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance can push aside that curtain and reveal the
supernal beauty and glory beyond (not to mention a certain wizard).
Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else
real and abiding. No vampires! Thank Lacroix and our sainted
Nicholas! They persist in their undead state, and they persist
forever. A thousand years from now, nay, ten times ten thousand years
from now, they will continue to strike terror in the hearts of
children everywhere.

	At this moment, Lisa Ryder is probably better known to American
audiences.
	Fans of Andromeda might pick the box up because they recognize
Ms Ryder....
       That said, it would have made more sense to use LaCroix, Nick and
Natalie, because they are the only characters central to the series
across all three seasons.

And to me Lisa Ryder made sense, because it was the
*only* season this cast member was in. :-) Isn't
diversity grand?

Lisa was shown in one episode in Season 2. I'll have to go back and check
the ep title but she was in one of the flashback sceens I want to say it
might've been Spin Doctor. At least by the voice I'd swear it was her!
