Subject: Episode Discussion: Near Death
1) amusing little opening scene with Nick, Nat and Schanke. Couple of
throw-away jokes and Natalie irritated that "he just dropped dead" and
doesn't "have the answer".
2) Myra ice-climbing...OK...but can anyone see Schanke crawling up the
face of a mountain???
Maybe if there was a slovaki stand at the summit....
3) the speech Schanke delivers at the institute is very elegent...but he
still looks like Igor's city-cousin standing behind that brain in a jar.
4) I love Schanke's face at learning that his quip about transplanting
monkey brains into a chicken is more true than not.
5) Natalie has ridden with Nick before...and she's comfortable not
wearing her seatbelt so she can sit between Nick and Schanke resting her
chin on the seat-back? Braver than I would be.
6)again I am reminded how striking Janette is.
What were the Powers-That-Be thinking in season 3 that they wanted
someone "sexier"??? I'm guessing they'd had their brains
transmorgified...because they darn sure were not thinking correctly.
7) interesting little usage of vampire powers in how Nick eves-drops.
This is the sort of subtle thing that they should have done more of.
8)you'd think a basic part of the "flat-lining" procedure would be to
monitor the breathing and pulse of the subject. Clearly that wasn't
done because Nick's heart only beats something like once every ten or
fifteen minutes and Dr. Linsmann would have had to question a living
subject with that for a "resting heart-beat".
9) LaCroix or Prince from LEXX? Nigel's character here in the
"after-life" is very similar to Prince in Season 3. Interesting
potential for a cross-over based upon this episode.
10) "he's complicated" - boy is that an understatement of the character
of Nick Knight.
11) do you think Natalie is doing CPR chest-compressions out of reflex
when she finds Nick "dead" in the Loft...or because she doesn't want
Schanke to ask weird questions later.
12) Nick keeps rat-poison. Clearly Screed isn't living in Toronto at
this point. Why bother with poison when you get bring in a professional
exterminator and pay him off with food???
13)Ms. Disher got more into a side-slid of her eyes than most actresses
can get into a page of dialogue.

I agree; as a vampire in seasons 1 and 2 she was very
content to be just what she was. In "The Fix" she
tells Nick that just because *he* is ashamed of what
he is, don't presume that she is.

Purely for the camera. When you live in a world
where a TV camera is on you at all times, you tend
to do this. In the real world riding with Nick?
Two seat belts and an air bag, please!

Odd, strange, and pathetic.
Really, all Janette has to do is stand there;
she doesn't really even need to move or speak.

Again, a move for the audience.
But then, with a heart that beats only once every 15 minutes,
maybe you do need a really good sttrong thump to get it started.

Even Screed couldn't get ALL the rats in Toranto.
