Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Last week was the twentieth anniversary of the original broadcast airing of Nick Knight, the pilot starring Rick Springfield that did not get picked up, but provided the basis for "Dark Knight" and "Dark Knight, the Second Chapter" when Forever Knight got its turn a few years later.

abby82 made a fun anniversary vid to the song "Los Angeles" by Sugarcult.

But several elements caught my attention for new-to-me comparisons: ( Read more... )
