Forever Knight - The Trilogy, Part 2 (2001)

Forever knight - The Trilogy Part 2

Forever Knight - The Trilogy is a T.V. program that I enjoyed watching fifteen years ago. My interest was revived by my two granddaughters, both aged fourteen, when they discovered their facination for vampires. They are both currently watching the Trilogy and can't get enough of it. Shortly after ordering them, they arrived and in great condition. I'm thrilled to have added them to my collection. July 28, 2008

The Best of the Trilogy

Forever Knight grows up and becomes more sophisticated with the second season. By this time, the main characters and their inter-relationships have fully developed, making the series even more compelling than in the first season. The plot-lines continue to be imaginative and tend to be more well developed than in the first season. LaCroix takes his place as a central character in this season as Nick's sire, protector, and as Nick's most dangerous adversary in his quest to regain his humanity. The second season set comes complete with extras, including audio commentaries by creator James D. Parriott and stars Geraint Wyn Davies and Nigel Bennett, an about the show featurette, a question session with fans, and previews. September 18, 2007

The Second Season of a Cult Classic

In its second season, "Forever Knight" hits its stride as a cult classic TV program. Geraint Wyn Davies is back as Nick Knight, 13th century vampire and 20th century Toronto night shift homicide cop. Catherine Disher as Nick's confidant Natalie and John Kapelos as Nick's partner Schanke also return. Natsuko Ohama joins the cast as the new precinct captain.

Nick's vampire mentor LeCroix, played by Nigel Bennett, plays a much bigger role in season two. Seen only in flashbacks until the very end of season one, Lecroix is now alive and well and living in Toronto, exploring a complex relationship with Nick in which he is sometimes a concerned parent and sometimes a vengeful opponent. We are also allowed to see the full extent of Jeanette's long, caring, and sometimes complicated relationship with Nick as someone who shares LeCroix as a mentor.

In season two, Nick's long past continues to intersect with his present, in which he solves crimes while seeking a means to become human again. In one particularly outstanding episode, Natalie identifies a medicine that allows Nick to walk in the sun again, only to discover that the medicine has a wildly addictive and personality distorting effect like heroin. In another well-done episode, Schanke at long last begins to wonder about the strange hours and abilities of his partner, leading him eventually to a fateful but well-played encounter with LeCroix. In a third episode, we find out why Nick has been reluctant to pursue his relationship with Natalie to its seemingly logical conclusion.

The strength of the series continues to be its story-telling ability. Actions relentlessly have consequences; even good deeds can have unintended effects. Each episode is built around a topical crime but designed to allow the characters to explore the morality of their own actions as well as the perpetrator's. Fred Molle's haunting background music continues to add depth to the show.

This series is highly recommended to fans of its all-too-brief runs on Canadian and US television. The special features include a retrospective on the show and a question and answer session for fans. Warning for those watching the series for the first time: the extra features contain plot spoilers. May 26, 2007
