I liked the fact that Roger seemed like a genuinely nice guy, not too
many "red flags" Natalie should've picked up on. So often in shows, the
intelligent, capable women who should know better end up falling for guys
who seem psycho from the start, and that bothers me to no end.
I thought the lingerie was probably meant as a gag gift, like they're
purposely giving sexy lingerie to a woman they know isn't getting any to be
ironic. Then it's sad 'cause the gag backfires and she feels bad after
receiving it, but no-one seems to notice :-( .
I didn't care much for the detached, almost feral-acting Nick, 'cause he
seemed to function well enough in the human world in most of his flashbacks.
Why would he suddenly revert to such a state during this particular
"lifetime"?

Subject: Re: Twinkie with Candles..
In regards to the Twinkie with Candles thing... I assumed when I heard that
line that a Twinkie in Canada was different than a Twinkie in the US. You know,
like Smarties. In Canada Smarties are candy coated chocolate pieces on the
order of M&M's. In the US Smarties are those little sweet tart tablets that
come in sets of about 20 in a cellophane twist.
Do they even get Hostess snack cakes in Canada? If they do, the folks that made
FK could have had some fun with one of those coconut covered cake balls with
the raspberry jelly on the inside. It would have been a great sight gag.
Vampire snack cake....

Maybe that had to do with the acute, aching hunger he would have felt on
waking after having his body blown up. After all that healing, I'm sure the
vampire in him wanted blood and wanted it now!! *grin* Phylis

From: Janette NatPack:
> I was always much more impressed with the later meeting on the street than
with the initial wake-up in the morgue. There's just something so *alien* about
Nick during that scene. <
Am I mistaken or does Nick have a different accent in that scene than
usually? It sounds to me that way and it shows that he probably didn't have much
contact with mortals during his stay in Toronto so far. Then, later as a cop he
adapted his accent to blend in.
2. I like the gesture when Nick buys the flowers and hands one to the sales
lady. Although in Natalie's case, I'd be quite annoyed if someone gave me a
bouquet of flowers with one blossom missing.
3. Funny incident I had with this episode: It took me years until I realized
that this was the nice Peter Axon from PSI-Factor. He's so very different here.
4. I sometimes use this episode to introduce new people to the show.
Petra.
