FK update

This show is definitely cooking. Exactly to my tastes. Wind up an ethical argument and let it run for 45 minutes. I'm up to 'I Will Repay.'

Nick is not a good vampire dad.

Natalie finally got a spotlight episode, and her rant to Nick about vampirism not being the end of the world and his responses were so good. Both of their perspectives felt earned by the previous eight episodes.

I was a bit weirded out by Nick hypnotizing the poor widow. But I guess they needed that reset button.

One thing this show is making me newly appreciate about Highlander is the glorious flashback transitions. Nick just has flashbacks, zero warning, no filter or sound to indicate it, just blink and there's a random beach and a beggar woman running along it.

I will have to make an icon for this show, but most of the images I found online are in vamp face, and I think grabbing a YT screenshot will be in too poor a resolution even for me.

However, I did make my next default icon, so I'm set for whatever the year upcoming holds.

I'm really enjoying your commentary on Forever Knight. It's been decades since I've seen the series, but your insights into the writing, the actors, and the show's structure and arcs are really bringing back everything that I loved about it. Much appreciated!

I'm happy to be of service! Writing about older sci-fi/fantasy TV shows is one of my favorite things to do with this journal (and I should clearly do it more often). I enjoy seeing how people worked out creative and ambitious stories with limited budgets, and with Forever Knight there's such a generous wealth of themes and interesting storylines on offer. It's been a lot of fun to discover and I'm glad you're enjoying these posts.

So if you have time to kill, celestial_alignment was pulling some top notch caps and making graphics over on tumblr from the cleaned up dvds.

I recall seeing some good casual poses in the stuff they were capping.

Thank you so much!

I didn't end up going for a casual pose, so much as a quirky update on the vampire coffin, but it works for me. :)

I have taken to grabbing screenshots/photos from IMDB.

Thank you! That will be a good resource to remember.
