Subject: Nigel Bennett's thoughts on Last Knight

Again, recently dug this up while spring cleaning. Enjoy!

What Nigel Bennett sent to the list when Last Knight aired:

"I thought that I would just check in with all you guys (non
gender connotation) as FKSPOILR is coming to an end.

It really has been a treat lurking here and listening to
what you all think of the episodes as they have come and gone. Your comments
were always insightful and challenging. And they were religiously printed out
and consulted by the people at the FK studios. It has been a true pleasure to
“know” you all in this way, and I thank you for the opportunity.

I thought that I would add my own twopenn’orth (Englisth
version) to the debate about LK. Remember that this is simply my opinion and
has no greater significance than that.

I think that to fully see LK’s significance, we have to take
it in the context of the whole third season. It was a season, for me, which saw
a growing disillusionment in my character certainly, and a growing unwillingness
to accept the status quo in most of the others: Nat becomes less and less happy
with her relationship with Nick, and her life in general, Nick backslides
constantly, losing his grip on his quest for mortality. And Lacroix? Well, I
think Janette’s leaving hit him harder than even he knew, and he slid into a
lethargy (Lacroix lite), which ended with him HAVING to move on.

So, LK came as no surprise. Nat could see no light at the
end of the tunnel and, in effect, commits suicide. (Yes, I know Nick drained
her, but she asked him to), Lacroix moves on to reinvent himself somewhere
else. And Nick… Nick wins. You see, the way it felt for me at the end was that
Nick had beaten Lacroix, and had finally regained his humanity. That is why
Lacroix would be able to kill him, because he could see that he had finally
utterly lost his son, and could do nothing about it.

When Nick says to Lacroix “You are my closest friend” when
he turns to LC in love and compassion and essentially forgives him, he is
human. “Damn you Nicholas” is Lacroix’s admission of defeat, and Nick goes to
the woman that he loves.
So, for me LK is a victorious ending and a deeply positive
one.

Just my twopenn’orth. Thanks for all the good times,
Nigel B"
