'For I Have Sinned'

[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. You can last week's post for Dark Knight here. Next up will be Last Act -- look for it next Tuesday.

For I Have Sinned, Air Date: May. 1992

Another serial killer, this time preying on young women who all attend the same church. In order to catch him, Nick must try to overcome his fear and loathing of the Church and its symbols. Meanwhile, flashbacks to 15th Century France show Nick's encounter with a young peasant girl doomed to become a martyr when her claims that God spoke to her result in the Church branding her as a heretic and condemning her to burn at the stake. Nick offers her his version of immortality, but she refuses in favor of her own belief in life after death. ~ recap and quotes via tv.com

(holding a cross)
Nick: Perhaps I'm a little bit closer.
Natalie: To God, or mortality?
Nick: Maybe both.

Do you get Forever Knight on TV (reruns) in California? I want to join you guys in the discussions but I'm not sure where the episodes are playing.

Also, I bought the first season of Stargate! I'll be able to discuss the show with you now. :)

No, I haven't seen FK on TV for quite a few years. I have season one and two on DVD, and had really old VHS from the TV tapes before that. Season three sitll isn't on DVD.

Have you been ok?

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Fair to middling :)

I really liked this ep. It opened up another chapter into Nick's past. It explained the real reason a vampire loathes crufixes and how painful it is to be in a church.

If you didn't fall for NIck in the first one, this would be the one.

*hugs* Nick

*dons the armor for the rotten produce* hurl away ladies!

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

OOO OOOO I wanna join in.....

gonna have to go order off amazon now...

been wanting to get this series anyway

was just talking with friends the other day about how all our fav shows no longer air on local stations, much less cable...Original ST, Red Dwarf, Red Green, Dr. Who (Who is Tom Baker)...

Ill catch up...I will!

[midnight-reader.livejournal.com]

I think that we're sorta lucky here in the UK... we have a few different channels that play repeats of the old shows especially Red Dwarf but it's been a no-no for FK... shame ain't it...

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Our PBS station here in CA plays Red Dwarf, Dr. Who. AFAIK, SciFi channel still owns the broadcast rights to air FK, and they haven't run it for awhile.

Hi! Hopped in from fkfanfic's journal.

I have to say that this episode contains my absolute favorite scene from FK, aka the confessional.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Welcome!

As a Catholic and a vampire lover........

[dracschick.livejournal.com]

this is one of my fav episodes. I lov ethe give and take between Nick and St. Joan. Priceless stuff:)

Re: As a Catholic and a vampire lover........

[midnight-reader.livejournal.com]

It's just so touching to see him mourn her through the bars...

There's some really nice parallelism, too, between showing Joan's faith and showing how she dies, condemned by people who were supposedly representing the faith. The actress who portrays Joan does such a remarkable job!

I love the confessional scene, too, with Nick's fake "Irish father" routine, and just about everything from The Raven, of course! :)
