Subject: Episode Discussion: Stranger Than Fiction
1) give Schanke credit. He bitches to the Captain about how the case is
not something two Homicide officers should be dealing with, but to
Emily, he is calm/cool/professional.
2) Natalie: "You Know, Nick, women do sometimes take a second look at
you". Funny line.
3) "The Denied, Chapter 1, Page 4". Grace either has a photographic
memory or she is sleeping with that thing under her pillow.
4) Gaaak! What the bleury Hades happened to Janette's hair! Shades of
the Bride of Frankenstein...after the lightning strike.
5) I like how they use the structure of the story underway (that Emily
Weiss is a vampire fiction writer) to comment on the vampires in the
fiction of FK.
6) Did any of the regular characters not end-up reading The Denied? We
don't see Janette reading it...but it is clear she's read other books in
the series. And I don't think LaCroix would hate them so viciously if
he hadn't also read through them himself.
7) the sudden reaction by Schanke and the uniformed officer with him at
the safehouse is a little odd - when you think about it. They hear a
car horn and immediately rush outside to check on it and find the
outside officer down. I could understand the reaction for a
gunshot...but a horn???
8) OK, Janette's hairdo is growing on me. 'Course Janette could be in
nothing at all and I'd approve...but that is a whole different story.
9) poor Emily. not the most confident of personalities...and now
trapped for some hours with an annoyed Janette.
10) Natalie: "Nick, if you have feelings, you should act on them"
Nick: "It is too dangerous".
Nick really did have something good with Natalie. She did have
hopes/dreams for what they might have together...but she was a deep
enough friend that her first thought was for Nick himself. That if he
desired a relationship with Emily, he should pursue it. Natalie would -
of course - be heart-broken...but she wasn't going to not encourage Nick
to pursue happiness wherever he could find it.
11) Is this the first episode where a vampire shows up at Nick's loft
skylight? I do not remember it happening before this...although it
definitely is a fixture in a lot of fan fiction writing.
12) Schanke as a vampire. Kind of a mutant cross between Count Chocula
and Eddie Munster with all the subtle nuances of Paris Hilton at an
orgy. Still...he does do the "elder vampire whisper" of LaCroix so well
as to make me think that the FK Christmas parties might have been
amusing with impressions.

I think he'd do it the old fashioned way. I think
he'd see the harder physical labor as part of his
atonement.

Episode 5 of Season 2 is next.
Bad Blood is the title
January 1st, 2008 is the date (and if you are asleep in bed for the day
due to the revelries of the night before...please still join the
discussion either on the late-shift or the 2nd...whenever your blood
moves enough to allow...).

My home phone was fixed yesterday so I am back in touch from home. (Yes, I
actually do still have plain old dial-up at home.) So I should be able to read help
requests and other mail to mclisa@m....... on a timely basis.

At the end of Dark Knight, Alyce memorably shows up at the skylight in the
museum, fangs bared, but I don't recall anyone showing up at the loft's skylight
before Stranger than Fiction.
It seems that it only takes once for something -- anything -- to become
ingrained in fanfic. <g>
