Subject: Tracker and RDaltrey Dracula movie
Can someone who saw Tracker send me a note offlist and let me
know what happened in the first few minutes of the episode?
The local station that airs it started it several minutes
before the tv listings said it would. So I missed the opening
scene before the first commercial break. While it'll eventually
turn up as a rerun, since it was the pilot it would be nice
to know what the intro to the story was.
Also since there are probably a fair number of Fitz fans on the
list. Did anyone happen to tape the tv movie- `Dark Prince: The
True Story of Dracula' that was on USA network? If so would
someone be willing to make a copy for me for trade or costs?
I saw part of it on the weekend and would like to watch the
whole thing. Even though USA tends to rerun some things the
movie isn't listed on the upcoming schedule. This afternoon
I remembered that Roger Daltrey was in it so I figured some of
the Fitz fans may have taped it. So if anyone has a copy of
it, send me a note offlist. Thanks.
And to cover three HL alum in one message.. for people waiting
to see `The Wedding Dress' with PW on Sunday, I happened to
see a commercial for it and he was actually in that. Just a
quick bit but PW turning up in a commercial for a movie on a
major network is a nice change.

I know, this is a little late, but I didn't realise I had it! I've been =
cleaning some personal stuff off my work computer, now that my home one =
has extra space, and I realised I have a file labeled "Jimmy Scene". Then =
my mind (wonderful thing sometimes) remembered someone asking for it as =
their copy had been wiped. (I've emptied my mail trash, so the message is =
no longer there, and I don't know who it was or how long ago - the last =
few weeks, certainly)
If you are still needing a copy, please let me know (off-list). I may not =
have the same one you did, but I do have something, and I'm about to check =
it for quality.

(who is very chuffed that some of her Reunion photos came out very nicely =

That's a good point, and it's what I thought at the time the episode was
first aired. It simply didn't work for me. It takes more than size to
appear menacing. For whatever reason, I never felt like Slan was a real
threat. He never convinced me to take him seriously. Of course that's
JMHO, and it didn't prevent me from being hooked on the show from the very
beginning.
