Mario: In my country firemen works as pairs for safety reasons. I started a
little bit ponder, if Mario and Patrick could have been former partners,
something like in the episode The Code with Schanke and Patrick.
Strays: What I liked in Raven was it's homely atmosphere, not so much posers
but quite ordinary looking people with a hint of subculture/underground. And
wasn't it something "motherly" in Janette in episode Hunters, when she
reassured the vampires in the cellar that everything is OK, after she had
drived off Schanke.
Candles: Vampires must love candles, having been only a little time a guest on
Patrick's apartment, Janette (or Patrick?) starts to fill it with candles on
every possible spot. I could imagine that a fireman is the last man to fulfill
his house with something like that, so he must have liked Janette quite a lot.
Perhaps candle reminds vampires about mortal's life's briefness and
vulnerability and their own longevity.
Babies: On fkspoilr discussion forum (the old archives) there was some debate,
if Janette could have been pregnant. And what was Natalie saying in the dream
near the end, that the cure is working and she is now pregnant (as meaning Nick
is no more a vampire). This is the third time when there is mentioned human
capability to reproduce by bearing children and vampires incapability to that.
(Last Act, Baby Baby, Human Factor).
Janette's portrait: Looks a bit strange that they didn't make the effort to
have it more like a painting from the Italian Renaissance. But it looks like
somebody has painted it, so it has taken at least some time to have it ready.
Hm... nowadays painting softwares are quite capable to do wonders, for example
to edit photos in a very drastic ways, to make them look like paintings and so
on, but perhaps in the 90's that was impossible.
Yours sincerely

I don't think that's a fireman thing. I know one who just loves candles and has
several lit in his living room every night.
