Episode 02 Re-release: Two Sons of the Same Earth
Episode 2
Monday, 14 December, 2020

A re-recording of episode 2 with better audio! Our existential wandering through Forever Knight continues with part two of the 1992 pilot. Camus writes, "hope is disastrous for humans inasmuch as it leads them to minimize the value of this life except as preparation for a life beyond." Nick Knight's hope for salvation is precisely what damns him. His current quest for mortality is deference, a way of not negotiating the present, not accepting his current state. He pushes his Sisyphean rock up the hill angrily, already hating it for falling down the other side. Can Nick overcome his existential dilemma? Can Schanke figure out anything? What is going on with LaCroix's haircut? Tune in, gentle listeners, as we explore these eternal questions in our Forever Knight.
