Dark Knight I/II

[ithildin]

Welcome to Forever Knight Episode discussion. We're starting at the beginning, and depending how it goes, we'll do one to two eps a week. Please feel free to pass the link on to any fellow FK fans!

Dark Knight, Air Date: May. 1992

Someone is killing a number of homeless people and draining their blood. Then a museum guard is killed the same way and a special artifact is stolen, a Mayan cup that Nick believes can help him become mortal again. Nick suspects that his old mentor Lacroix is in town and behind the murders. Forced into a partnership with the unbearable Detective Schanke, Nick has to face both Lacroix and the Homeless Killer while trying to protect his friends.. ~ via tv.com

'For I Have Sinned' will be up on Tuesday.

This isn't one of my favorite eps; it has a bit of that awkward, experimental feel, as though they were still trying to get the character dynamics set, and the melodrama level is pretty high (especially when Nick is melting down in his apartment: "I kissed her. And then I nearly killed her.") Plus, I *loathe* this versison of Alyce (the TV movie version was soooo much more palatable to me). But the jade-cup plot is pretty cool, and the interaction between Nick and LaCroix is awesome (especially in the slaughterhouse). Ger and Nigel always played off one another brilliantly.

Also, the introduction of the flashbacks (remember, they didn't have those in the Springfield version) was SO crucial. I think those were one of the things that made this show so unusual, and therefore so special.

And Ith, I cannot believe you had NB in your room contributing running commentary! I am jealous to death!!!!!

I was also on a SciFi cruise he was a guest on. There were maybe 15 people total, and only 3 of us FK fans. There's some pics here (http://www.ondragonswing.com/dragonstone/holiday.htm).

Hey everyone! I'm Kristin from Knight Vision. It's wonderful to see more discussion about FK on LJ. :) I loved the first 2 part episode. I'm a huge Dark Knightie and Immortal Beloved. I have a bit of UFish tendencies, as well.

Looking forward to the posts here!
