Subject: If FK were being made now. . .
Not even gonna talk about differences in special effects, 'cause of
course technology has advanced a lot in fifteen years. So I'll just go with
plot and chara issues here.
Unfortunately, you don't often see vampires alone anymore, so if FK were
made now there would probably be werewolves, demons, or some other type of
monsters figuring prominently into the plot. Nick and Nat's relationship
would probably be less ambiguous, but they would still have a lot of
romantic issues (how many humanXvampie couples don't?). I'm not sure I
agree about more focus on the forensics aspects, though there probably would
be more questions raised if Nick still did things the way he does in the
show. It's also likely what forensics were in the show, Nick would be more
involved in it rather than just popping in once in a while to ask Nat about
results. Vampies seem much more mainstream now, so there might be an effort
to make most of the vampie charas seem less like outsiders. There would
probably be more of them holding down jobs and trying to blend in with the
human population. It's also worth noting that through media coverage of
real people who are allergic to sunlight, vampies could use that excuse more
easily, with less questioning, and more understanding and sympathy from the
human charas.
