It's the "I Love Perogies Polka". I'm curious to know who'se heard of /
eaten perogies before?
Here's a local brand, but I can get four different brands (in a variety of
flavours) at my local grocery store:

And a town in my province boasts the "world's largest perogy":

I find this episode in a many ways interesting.
We see a new vampire, Felix who seems to be from Victorian England and looks
like Pre-Raphaelites with strong aesthetic taste. He is quite different
regarding the way we usually see vampires with black, gloomy mood and electric
goth music playing on the background.
If Raven is a place vampires dwell, so many of them seems like every day
citizens and are not "typically" vampiric. That is something I liked in this
show, vampires mix so well with the society and it's citizens, that one can
easily adopt them as a part of world.
Charles du Champs reminds me from English bank world on London City, perhaps
it is the hat he is wearing. Looks a bit odd on the new Continent, but perhaps
his origin is in Europe and he has a lot conservative European customers. And
his son, isn't he more like the Ukrainian polka player on that previously
posted polka video. I started to think, what if his mother is from Eastern
E, a former Russian aristocrat??
Nick's "dark secret": was Charles speaking about his wonderings that Nick is
not aging or that he is suspecting something about the money's background;
that there is something not right.
Flashback is definitely something that shows a very different Nicholas de
Brabant. The conversation between him and LaCroix is interesting. I have the
feeling that LaCroix is not gathering much property and things around him.
Allways ready to move on and to see new places without anything one must
abandon or left behind. He is more like a modern consumer with a conscience
(with green values :) ). Perhaps he is not liking the way Nicholas is getting
the money, he is actually betraying his fellow soldier, something which is
perhaps against the ethics of a ancient roman warrior.
Is this the only episode,where Janette is wearing that dress. One can see
it on press photos, but I dont remember seeing it very much on episodes.
Janette is certainly a very lovely woman. One of the good results of the
all'around lack of consistency in story telling, is that it allows us to fill
the caps with our own imagination. In one episode Nick is more with Natalie
and next he's more around Janette, so everybody can imagine things acording
his/hers own dreams. This episode was something for the Nick&Janette fans
(like me).
Yours sincerely
