I think we all know the only one person she is trying to or ever would impress
 is Nick.  I mean when the two of them first met, Nat had done who knows how
 many autopsies and Nick's face had already been blown off.  Seems to me that first
 impressions between those two were "down the drain" from the start...

Y'know, about that scrunchie:  since it was in the pipes, Natalie may have
just wanted to get the pipe cleared and took a wrench to it herself as a
matter of pure practicality -- if she waited for maintenance to take care of
it, it'd be a week before they would get to it, and in the meantime she
needs the table.  Plus, the nonchalant way she handles that wrench would
have the added effect of impressing Nick, at least hopefully.  MY question,
however, is not what is she going to do with the thing, or why she is
bothering to get it out of there herself, but rather, how and under what
circumstance did it get there in the first place!  I don't think it's
sommething that could just wash into the pipe, and if that's the case . . .
.  On the other hand, maybe I don't really want to know.  ;-?

Opens up a whole new can of fanfic worms, doesn't it?  ;-)
I never thought of her as trying to impress Nick with her handling of the
wrench (Nat doesn't seem the type to really care about impressing people).
She seemed entirely comfortable and at ease using the thing, like it's
something she's done a hundred times before. Being a single, independent
woman, it makes sense that she would have learned how to do minor 'household'
repairs herself.

That sounds like something that should be used in a fic challenge...

Subject: _The Border_ in discussions with US networks

I've seen it speculated on list that CD and NB's new show, _The
Border_, might make it to US television, but I hadn't seen anything
in the wider press until this snippet from a 02/01/08 Reuters
article:  "The distributors of another Canadian drama, CBC's 'The
Border,' are in discussions with several U.S. networks, including CBS
and ABC." ---http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080201/tv_nm/canadian_dc_1

(I'm on digest; my apologies if this has already reached the list and
I just don't know it yet.)

I wonder whether full US network airings of _The Border_, if
successful, might have any subtle influence on SciFi or Chiller
putting FK into the line-up for a round or two.

One interesting thing about FK is that the stories are not really
time fixed, that is, relative few dates or events that can be
pinpointed in time are mentioned in the contemporary
portions of the shows.  So, the series could be replayed
without any references to the dates 1992-96; just assume
the stories are contemporary.
    On the plus side for this is Nick's car.  We *know* it's
a sixty-two caddy.  Also most other cars shown are fairly generic
or on the screen very briefly.
    On the negative side, well, yes, they do use cellphones.
Big, clunky things that almost look like the radio phones of
years ago -- but they are cell phones!  ;->

Subject: Siege Perilous

Does anyone out there still need "Siege Perilous" for their collection?  I
 found 2 hardcover copies for $7 each at a local bookstore.  If anyone wants them,
 let me know and I'll pick them up.  We can work out postage etc. afterward.

Most people have minds like concrete: mixed up or permanently set.
