To all,

    Hello and welcome. 
    I feel an explanation is necessary for my Ep. Slants.
    You must initially understand that I am a Cousin. Who is, first and
foremost, of the Unnamed Faction. And that these were written and posted for
the entertainment of the UF Loop.

    What I do is take a scene or scenes from an episode and, as I re-tell the
selected story bits, I interject my own brand of facetiously humorous,
sarcastic and/or sometimes serious - remarks, comments and observations. All
with an Unnamed Cousinly point of view.
    Agree or disagree, it's all meant to be taken as 'tongue in
thong'...oops, I mean 'tongue in cheek', the *other* set cheeks ;-[)!
    Be aware -- These are PG13, at times. And some are much better than
others, since they span a period of months and I got more adept as I went
along
(I hope <g>.).
    Also, they are listed in alphabetical order, not chronologically to my
original posting.

    So, enjoy...or not.
    Either way these Ep. Slants are mine, Illinois Jules (aka Julie
Swendsen).

    I will never own the rights to any of the FK characters or their lines,
and they are only being borrowed for the nonprofit enjoyment of myself and my
Unnamed friends. If I ever finish bending these to my needs, I *will* return
them, only slightly spindled and barely mutilated.

Ep. Slant:
Blind Faith --



(another flash backing favorite with all the tasty
implications!)

LC: "Austerity doesn't suit you, Nicholas. I worry about you in this awful
place living off the land."

N: "I like the challenge [pause] and the solitude."

LC: "Hmm. A hound is a picturesque touch. Gone to the dogs in my 
stead -- imagine it. To let you think he responds to you out of
affection...out of
love." (Watch Nikkie practically flinch at the word 'affection'. Ooo...the
"L" word too.)

N: "And he's a good hunter too." 

LC: [upset] "IT IS a pack animal Nicholas, the attention it gives you has
nothing to do with affection. It is mere instinct. It will follow any
master." [Nick will look, finally, at LaCroix, but turns away when their
eyes meet]
 
N: "He is my friend." (Do I detect a slight haughtiness in tone and action?
Silly boy, mustn't piss off Uncle so!)

LC: (Yes, he is visibly angry. Controlled, but angry.) "Dogs...are for
breakfast. And only in the hardest of times."

    Later:

    LC quite gleefully dispenses with Nick's new companion, to a Carouche.
(Jealous of a dog? Why Uncle, how possesive must you be?)

    Still later:

    Then their little tete-a`-tete. With Nick hacking out stakes to kill
Raleigh [the dog], and LaCroix taunting him more. (LC takes such delight in
putting his Nicholas over the edge with fury.  < This will teach you to
abandon me! >)
