Columbia TriStar surprised a lot of Forever Knight fans by releasing the second season of the cult supernatural series on DVD, despite underwhelming sales of the first-season set; what's even more exciting about this six-disc box for longtime followers are its supplemental features, which include commentary by star Geraint Wyn Davies and series co-creator James Parriott. Overall, the second season is marked by change, both in front of and behind the camera: vampire detective Nick Knight's former master and nemesis, LaCroix (Nigel Bennett), takes a more active role in the series, and offers a direct threat to Nick's desire to become mortal again, while Nick's lengthy past is explored more deeply in flashbacks. Gary Farmer's Captain Stonetree is gone, having been replaced by Natsuko Ohama as Captain Cohen-–however, she too would leave the show by season's end, as would Gary Kapelos (Nick's partner, Schanke), and Deborah Duchene (Janette Ducharme).
What didn't deviate from the first season was the abundance of exciting and imaginative stories--highlights from season 2 include 'Stranger Than Fiction,' in which Nick falls for an Ann Rice-like writer; 'Father's Day,' which partners LaCroix with the Mob; the return of Jack the Ripper in 'Bad Blood'; and 'Baby Baby,' one of two second-season episodes directed (quite well) by Wyn Davies. Extras include Wyn Davies and Parriott providing commentary for two episodes ('Blood Money' and 'Killer Instinct'), while Nigel Bennett goes it alone for a pair ('A More Permanent Hell' and 'Curiouser and Curiouser'). Parriott and Wyn Davies also appear in a 20-minute featurette (titled, appropriately enough, 'About the Show'), and a brief segment in which they answer questions posited by series devotees. In short, season 2 has plenty for FK aficionados to (ahem) sink their teeth into. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - 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.
Rating:  - Dont buy from this thief
Did nothing to return email when asked about when product would arrive. Total Jerk.
DONT BUY FROM
Rating: - I bought 2 because it's so good.
If you don't have two copies by now, one to watch and one to keep nice. Your missing out.
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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 ... Read More
