Sidequests Buff The Hero

A few sidenotes before getting into the first episode:

I let several family members know about this blog; many of them were present around the age of trauma . None of them remember this show. They remember Kung Fu, Xena, and Superman but could not recall any clues about Forever Knight. It is like a Candle Cove situation (a creepy pasta where kids remember a show vividly from their childhood but according to their parents they were watching static).

Although I am a huge fan of the show and I am keen to do my research, I will be writing this blog as an ordinary viewer with average knowledge. I will not be spending much special attention to behind the scenes trivia unless I happen to know it beforehand. There is one scene in the show that I want to ask a professional actor acquaintance of mine about before I riff on it (thank you in advance, David!) Gauging average knowledge will be difficult. I am not a contender for Jeopardy but I love European history, criminal justice, and many topics included in the show. If something is not common knowledge but I think it is, please let me know. The same goes for if I am wrong about something or there is place for debate. Nothing is more exciting than breaking down hypothetical situations through the lens of various sciences and theories, like how much consumption of communion wafers and wine would equal one Jesus.

Please do not feel stupid if you do not know something. Everyone has different experiences and learns a variety of things in life. I do not want to come off as arrogant or obnoxious. This blog is for entertainment. Mostly laughter. So start laughing. Right now. Laugh. Or I will find you.

Funny story- I received a discount on home repair due to a mutual vampire fandom. The guy who came to fix the AC unit was a horror fan and knew French. I showed him the first few minutes of the pilot episode. He wrote down the name of the show and gave me his number if I wanted him to help me learn French (I kinda do).

Have I stalled enough? Do I have to start doing real work on this blog? No, you cannot make me! It is baka!

Okay here we go...
