Subject: Re: Moonlight/ FK ripoff....

I watched Moonlight and thought it was ok.  I will continue to watch  for a
while to give it a chance. I am not liking the whole "Film Noir" narration
thing,  though.  As much as I love FK, if it had done that way I think it
would have really annoyed me over time.   I keep imaging if they
did FK's opening credits that way...  Instead of LaCroix we have Nick  saying
in a bored voice over "I was brought across in 1228 and I preyed on  humans
for their blood.  But now, I want to be human again....."
It might be interesting if somebody did a fan fic in that  format. Maybe that
should be a challenge some time?
Or has that been done already?

On another story angle I thought I "recognized" a fanfic somebody
wrote a long time ago.
Mick has known Beth since she was a child, even saved her then and
watched over her.

IIRC I read a fic once where Nick saves/ meets a six-year-old Nat. I
don't remeber much more of the story and I can't check since all of
my fanfic collection died with my old PC. Maybe someone remebers the
story?

I loved this quote:


    "low-fat, soy, vegan blood"

Can you say "cow's blood", boys and girls?


There should have a disclaimer giving Forever Knight credit.  It's even
got flashbacks.


Plus it's on CBS!  If CBS had back FK a bit more, it might have lasted
longer.  It struck me that this is the series that "Nick Knight" (the
original pilot with Rick Springfield) might have become, especially with
today's technology for special effects - not to mention the fact that
this time the show has network backing (unless Letterman is going to
move to PrimeTime Fridays).


And, while Mick St. John is o.k.,  GWD is cuter.


And an aside: isn't it peculiar that these vampire sagas seem to have
some vampires with oddly ironic names:  Nick's sire is "LaCroix" -
French for "The Cross". The Cross!  You name a vampire after the Cross?
And here, Mick's last name is St. John.  Saint?  For a vampire?  Even
thought there was a throw-away line about crosses not bothering him.


Over all, I enjoyed it, thought it was fairly well done: and give 'em a
break, this was just the first show.  And also, a private detective
would have been a good profession for Nick to move on to. ;->

  I remember that one! Nat has a bear that has a pin with a 'N' and Nick asks
 her about it... turns out she was lost while camping and Nick saved her... GEEZ!
 I can't for the life of me remember the name of it. I'd love to read it again.
 Anyone?

I wouldn't call it a ripoff (although the first sun-rising-over-the-city
scene looked so familiar I thought it was a homage).

There are some similarities (the title character regrets becoming a
vampire, is a detective, drives an older car, has an acquaintance in the
city morgue) but they are pretty general and I can point to other
detective/police dramas that have those same similarities.

It isn't the same as having FK back in production...but it was
entertaining.

I read on a tv.com forum today that Moonlight was not a "rip-off" of Forever
 Knight but of a TV movie made in 1989.  Sound familiar?  The person who posted
 that had no idea Nick Knight had been made into a TV series.  I remember someone
 posted a few weeks back that they asked the creator of Moonlight about the FK
 connection and he denied knowing of the show.  Do we know if he knew about Nick
 Knight?
