Forever Knight

[ffutures]

Forgot to say that while I was watching paint dry (e.g. reinstalling Windows 98) last night I was also watching some episodes of the Forever Knight vampire series - got 1st and 2nd season very cheap on eBay, now I'm beginning to understand why they're cheap. I've seen five or six now and I'm still waiting for one (apart from the two-parter at the beginning of the series) where a vampire turns out to be the villain, which is bizarre considering that they're showing a large vampire population in the town and they're presumably killing people. I'm not saying I'm not enjoying them, because they're adequate if somewhat formulaic fun, but I'm not sure I'll bother to get the third season unless it gets a lot better.

Lacroix was the closest thing to a vampire villain on the show until the end of season 3, and even then, he was never *all* that bad. Hm...wait...I think there was a minor episode mid season 3 that featured a vampire villain, but I can't recall the plot.

I enjoyed the show the way I enjoy Pez - tasty, but far from filling. The vampires in Forever Knight are closer to Anita Blake vamps, but not nearly as scary.

Also, for what it's worth, the star of the show used to call it Forever Angst.

I presume that Lacroix makes a comeback then, since he was killed in the double-parter. Or was that story the extent of his villainy? If it isn't too much of a spoiler, of course.

I never saw the double-parter, so I didn't know he'd been "killed."
