Fan Fiction[]

Quotes[]

Nightcrawler Monologue[]

Bon soir, mes amis. C'est moi, the Nightcrawler, with you, soothing your confusion, keeping you company until the sun rises. Tonight's meditation is on lost friends, lost from each other, lost from themselves. And the simple fact is, the way back for one is the way back for the other. For we must never forget what we are, or whom we came from. This is our lifeblood, our nourishment. Without it we wither, and become nothing.

You will come back. You must come back. It is your destiny, and destiny will not be trifled with.

All's well that ends well; although it never really does end for some of us. Anyway, until tomorrow, I remain a friend to all, and as always, when you have a friend in the Nightcrawler, who needs enemies?

Behind the Scenes[]

  • The German title for this episode is "Verloren in der Nacht" ("Lost in the Night").

Continuity[]

Canadian Content[]

Goofs[]

  • When LaCroix arrives at the loft, Nick recognizes him as "the doctor from the hospital". But Nick was still unconscious when LaCroix posed as a doctor and gave him the blood transfusion. He should not be able to remember anything about it.
  • In I Will Repay, it was established that a vampire's heart beats only once every ten minutes. When Nick revives in the Emergency Room, he's rushed to surgery. There he would have been attached to a monitor. Nevertheless, no one on the medical staff notices his abnormal heart rate. Although it would be possible for LaCroix to hypnotize them to forget afterwards, they should still have noticed while he was being treated, which should have had consequences.
  • When Leon Sharp was firing his bullets at Tracy, she was able to dodge the bullets, as almost anyone knows, no one can dodge bullets and when the drums of toxic chemicals had exploded, Tracy, I think, was a bit too close for comfort. So in either cases, Tracy could have died from either the bullets of the exploding barrels.

Notes & References[]

  1. There is speculation among some fans that resistance to being staked in the heart comes with great age, and that only much older vampires can survive a stake in the heart temporarily as LaCroix had done. Younger vampires expire sooner depending upon their age, how long since they last fed, etc.
