Subject: FK Video Tapes
Hey gang,
I'm sending this out with Don's permission.
Now that I have all of the eps on DVD, I no longer need my video tapes (though
I think my taped DK has a fuller version than the DVD?). Anyway, in that
light, I'm willing to give them to anyone who might like them. I just may need
help with shipping costs.
Be aware that these aren't sterling quality -- I taped them (commercials and
all, Sci Fi version) off the TV at SLP speed to make the most of the tape and I
may not have all of the eps -- though I may, and certainly most of the eps.
If anyone is interested, please contact me off list: portia1 @ m.......

I was watching a video thing about Doctor Who the other day and
Russell T. Davis, the creator of the new series, made a comment that
made me think.
I am paraphrasing since I can't remember the exact wording right now,
but he said that it is perfectly acceptable for someone to be a big
fan of a sports team, but when someome says they are a fan of a
television show (especially a scifi show) they are considered weird.
I totally agree. It seems like scifi shows like FK or DW seem to get
a dedicated following of fans, but the general public tends to look
down on our devotion.
I just think it is an interesting observation.

Actually, I'm finding this to be less and less true. I've seen as many people
who are big sports fans get odd looks as I have someone admitting they are big
fans of a television show. Look at all the die hard fans of things like
"American Idol" and "Survivor." They are pretty vocal these days, at least the
ones I know.
What I'm finding with Forever Knight is that when I wear my FK jacket or
mention the show, some people will suddenly perk up and say they remember the
show. This gives me a chance to say it is on DVD now <g>
The weirdest reactions I get regarding a television show are with Star Trek -
and that's from other Trek fans.
Of course when I explain to people who know 'Forever Knight' that I have a
half-eaten dead white laboratory rat used on the show, I sometimes get very odd
reactions. I wonder why?
