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" Allison unnamed cousin smilewithviolets@y....... ------------------------------ End of FORKNI-L Digest - 29 Apr 2013 to 1 May 2013 (#2013-53) *************************************************************
