And what exactly his words were? The latest installment of the "Macedonian Vampire series" has reminded me; and I'd rather like to add it to the FK Wiki.

Nick recoils from the obsidian knife. In other episodes, the objects that injure or repel him are related to the Christian religion: Nick obviously recognizes them, and they belong to a religion that he personally believes in. Up till now, therefore, we've had no real proof that his "allergy" hasn't all been just in his head--something that I suspect Natalie has always had her doubts about. However, here we have an object that is related to a different religious belief. In itself that would be a nice touch. But furthermore, Nick clearly has no idea that the knife is a ritual religious object. Even so, it affects him the way a cross does. This means, of course, that his reaction to it cannot be attributed to some sort of psychosomatic response. 2. The background to the episode may not be quite historical; but the Mississauga Indians are real. There really was a treaty with them. And they do have a land claim. Someone was doing research here! 3. I've always loved Vachon bringing a case of bottled blood back home. That's a lovely scene. (We never got to see enough of him in my opinion.) On top of that, the case is labelled "Point Pelee Estates". That's another nice local touch. Point Pelee is one of the wine-producing areas of the province of Ontario, so it's a very authentic-sounding cover for a "wine" producer.

This sunday at 9:00PM on ABC there is a new show airing called Defying Gravite. James D. Parriott both created this series and has written the first two episodes Christina Cox (Joan Of Arc in season 1 and a very annoyed traffic officer in season 2) is one of the regular cast.
