this episode dropped the ball for not treating us to an actual woodstock flashback with nick having hippie hair

I was immediately like "if mitski came out with an album called I hate my friends and want to murder them" I would buy that album

No one will ever convince me that was Nick jumping and pumping his fist. That was Geraint Wyn-Davies congratulating himself on a good take; the camera happened to capture it; and someone decided that shot needed to be in the show for reasons that I assume are related to the consumption of white powder.

The magical era of a pre-toonie but post-loonie Canada. Those were some days.

I know it's not Mildred's most popular content, but I am absolutely loving this series. It's so fun and always brings a smile to my face!

How can this be episode 14? Mildred just started this series line 2 days ago I swear. Please don't take this from us, we need this. We need a forever groundhog night. If scaredy catz just loops this forever it will be perfection

I've always assumed that Nick having all these hallucinations seeing happy people go on with their lives with family, friends and significant others is something he feels he can't and will never have because being an immortal vampire people will die and fade out of his life while he will continue on forever age after age but at the end of the episode Nick seeing Rebecca get free from her life as a rockstar gives Nick hope that one day he'll be free of his vampiric curse and then he can live a normal life among mortal society.

I liked this episode as a kid. I kinda took Nick's hallucinations as like... a literal vampire acid flashback. He probably did a lot of drugs, or fed on people who did, at woodstock. So instead of a normal flashback, he has an acid flashback. I think the reason I liked it is... it's one of the very few flashbacks where the flashback story has a positive ending? Usually Nick is remembering some regret or trauma. This time he's like... damn, Woodstock was cool. I had a good time for a minute there.

Someone on the writing staff just read Queen of the Damned and thought, sure, let's do that. But somehow, even weirder.

Running Tallies: LaCroix Ratio: 9:13 Nicks Dead Love Interests: 7:13

Does the "Good or Bad Forever Knights Episode" flowchart not take into account Hallucinatory LaCroixs?

This whole episode sounds like it would be an amazing Kids in the Hall sketch.

This entire episode is just one long Forever Knight-flavored "Mmm What'cha Say" SNL sketch.

The opening sequence of Fan Kill is burnt into my brain. Thank you for reviving an ancient memory and giving me life! As does the vision short order cook LaCroix

I liked the random hallucinations, they're like those bits in Scrubs when the main character daydreams but broody and ominous

I remember this episode!!! As a result, I thought that the grateful dead were like a vampire themed band until I was like 20.

The detail of Nick having been at Woodstock is so funny to me. Because, like, it was an outdoors concert, and a lot of it took place during day light hours. Like, Hendrix literally played at like 5 in the morning when the sun was rising. So, like, how did he handle that. Was he like just hiding in a blacked out van for most of it. :D

Lacroix is also extremely Master from Doctor Who coded 😅

He was at Woodstock. There's no mystery here. Acid flashbacks.

Yeah, very weird episode. I was an extra in it- one of the groupies back stage- paid better than most, and was catered! 😀

The lyrics to “Fan Kill” are utterly captivating. “My fans must die.”

My personal headcanon is that Rebecca's label, Black Sheep Records, is named after the hit single from the greatest fictional Canadian band, The Clash at Demonhead, even though that this is the 90s and that song didn't exist until 2010

What about the backup dancer's family and loved ones? Does the singer just take over the dancer's life, or is the family just going to have to never say anything about their now-dead daughter?

This series is zany and random and i love it

Nick: This edible aint shit *20 years laters*

If schankeface isn’t everywhere starting immediately I will make my own version of schankeface

One of my fav episodes of the series

You know, I bet that this episode was written when the pilot was made, but the show hadn't yet been cast as it was. Don't get me wrong here, I adore Geraint Wyn Davies' acting, he is legendary on the screen and stage. He has been a regular at the Stratford (Ontario) Shakespeare Festival for decades, and other FK actors have been in their plays too, do check out their channel if you want. However it does seem that the rock music plot line, though, was made more for the person originally cast as Nick Knight, Rick Springfield. ...I'd say my dad likes his music, but my dad is more into folk storytelling stuff. And so am I. Give us some acoustic guitar and hammered dulcimer any day.

4:49 ✨face touch✨

God I love these

This episode feels like a producer saw twin peaks and was doing a bad job of emulating David Lynch

Honestly. I love these dailies.

Instead of flashbacks they are fantasy/dreams. There are 5 fantasy/dreams in this episodes.

I guess it's kill or cure as far as his decision to jump straight to hamburger.

"uwu murder me mommy"... one of those statements that captures the modern zeitgeist so succinctly

I loved Fan Kill as a kid...it was such a bop...what was wrong with me.

Only Scorpius can do the Scorpius livin' rent free in somebodies head shtick, your reach is a bit over your grasp on that one there LaCroix.

because LaCroix is clearly not forever dead, i wonder if this is like foreshadowing that eternal slumber is not something Nick can ever attain, for all his attempts he is forever in the cell that is vampirism?

At this point we can confirm that Nick is a Toreador. Their power sets include hypnotic presence and super speed and are prone to obsessive behavior towards works of are.

For the record yes, Calliope Mori, exactly as you theorized.

Becktel tested, viewer approved

The little bit of the fankill song sounds almost like it could be a Lita Ford song.

Yeah, like they're not all going to be home runs.

Milhew, my scardiest cat, what did you try to tell me here?

You’ve got to use that schankface clip again. God that had me dying.

5:19 Tentatively gonna call this recap "Swan Song Knightmare" given the death and music and scary ass hallucinations

Beautiful

this sounds like the best one, i think

I'm with you on thhe whole. WTF with this ep in particular, it was so.... uhm.... yeah

I wonder if it's a different writer or director for this one... I'll check IMDB. Writer Shelly Goldstein wrote this episode and Partners of the Month in season 2. Director Leon Marr directed this episode...and no other episodes in the series

They can't all be bangers, I suppose.

I am pissed there is no full version of Fan Kill.

Do you think aiming a gun at the audience is a reference to the 1992 Brit Awards, where the KLF's Bill Drummond fired a machine gun loaded with blanks at the audience before leaving the music industry?

SHIT I FORGOT MUH CHILDHOOB

Ok ok, watching it on Roku as we speak.

It would have made more sense if he kept having weird dreams instead of hallucinations. Maybe end the episode with him licking ketchup off a fry. The fist bump goes right over my head though. Did he think he was in the Breakfast Club? And I think that they didnt want to show him looking like a cheesie hippie but it would have made more sense....

I'm face blind so I assure you that I will never personally recognize Rebecca on the street. I think it's weird that other people would. Like y'all recognize each other outside of specific contexts? By each other's faces? I recognize height, race, hair style, hair color and clothes.

But mildred have you not learned from anime gifs that Draculas love hamburgers

Well, that was a thing.

Keep the videos coming, Mildred! I've missed this show. Does anyone know where it's streaming these days?

How does this only have three views?! That's only like 1-2 views less than this episode of Forever Knight.

Someone was smoking some dope when they wrote this one.

Jeanette waitress looks tho 👌

Please tell me this isn't the last episode of the season. I need more Forever knight-athon and I don't see a new episode for today uploaded yet and I might die.

And this wasn't a 2 parter? I have to wonder what the episode writers were on, and if it's still something used in writing today (and maybe were I could get some)

I think Mildred is having a stroke while recording this.

I had never seen this show, but I've been thinking how it reminds me of a movie I saw as a kid called "Midnight Cop". Turns out that was the original pilot that became "Forever Night"that they put out on VHS as a movie. So, Mido... Will you be reviewing "Midnight Cop"?

ive seen a metal band a few times who's whole thing is they are all assholes and they hate their fans and are punishing them by inflicting their terrible music on them. Their fans are some of the most fanatical I've ever seen

If I had a dollar for every time a vampire story included a famous singer with an identical double, and then one of them is killed and they are switching places, I'd have two dollars which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice. (Two of Everything anyone)?

This feels like a recycled Walker Texas Ranger script or something.

Were they trying to rip off Basic Instinct for some reason? Because that's what it looks like. It was 1992. Basic Instinct was a popular movie in 1992, and only marginally less of a dementedly incoherent mess. Also Nick being at Woodstock would mean he was potentially there with Cassidy from Preacher- vampire crossover gold.

Ok, ok. So, vampirism or just immortality is a prison. Easy. Nick is conflicted about eating meat, but his vampirism is getting subconsciously mixed into it. Yeah, ok, Vegan Vampire isn't necessarily a new idea. The fame bit, I dunno, La Croix is kinda Nick's Manager, like he has power over Nick because he made Nick what he is? Because being famous is just as much a prison as vampirism? I'm grasping at straws here, but that seems... kinda... coherent?

0:52 Wow 😅 So early 90s Canada was like mid 80s America?

After forever knight could you talk about The Odyssey(?) Or whatever it was called cause that really messed me up as a kid. Any other Canadians know what show im talking about? Some kind of coma dream alternate reality dreamscape fever dream show? Kid falls out of a tree house and bonks his head and everything gets super weird

This is probably off base--I haven't actually seen this episode--but maybe this weirdness was all a metaphor for Nick's not wanting to be a vampire anymore? As told through the lens of a famous rockstar trying to sabotage her career? I dunno. Maybe I'm overthinking.

Where video?

Weirdly I'm seeing comments, which appear to be for a Scaredy Cat video, so as I was reading them, I forgot what I was supposed to comment on. I guess I'll just note that apparently Ron DeSantis is afforded the ability to get gender-affirming care. He just doesn't want others to get it.

So..like Doja Cat?

I think my list got episode 14 and 15 swapped. Or you did hallucinate this episode.

This one is. Wild

Wait.. was he sweating blood at the start there?

This episode made me think of the Fromage special MuchMusic used to run every year for the cheesiest music videos. Not just the fake music video. The entire episode. Probably the weakest of the fifteen or so I’ve seen so far.

🍄🌈😮

I'm sorry, but an edgy musician writing a song about wanting to kill their fans just wouldn't be controversial. Even in the 90s when this show was made, it would have just blended in to the general melange of rock star weirdness. This episode came out a year after Nirvana released Nevermind, and around the same time "R*** Me" was released ... which, by the way, makes Rebecca's whole shtick seem hilariously outdated even for the time. She would have been treated as seriously as WInger was by that point. Grunge and Punk bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Bad Religion were exploding in popularity, and genuine metal acts like Metallica, Pantera, and Anthrax had been given greatly expanded exposure on MTV and radio. Rebecca's toothless hair metal shtick would have seemed like a sad joke, with or without the yawn-inducing "Fan Kill" stunt -- a desperate Nelson or White Lion clone that came 10 years too late. I dunno, maybe things were different in Canada. Did y''all get Nirvana on MuchMusic?

Mildread gets recognised in public, and they're not even the star of the channel!

Please, please do something about the reflections in your glasses. How can I look longingly into your eyes when they are obscured so?

I like how all early 90s television is evocative & copycatting what other popular film & media were doing at the time. For instance this episode is clearly riffing off of Basic Instinct. I've been rewatching The X-Files & in the first 2 seasons every episode looks & feels like an homage to another popular film of the time, down to the editing
