FOREVER KNIGHT inspired Joss Whedon when he created ANGEL. Why would the two ensouled vampires battle? They would join forces and fight against evil together. They'd be nearly unstoppable!

Besides, Nick is twice Angel's age and he's more powerful. He'd wipe the landscape with Liam. Sorry about that, but it's true...and, if for some reason Nick was losing, LaCroix would come and rip off Angel's head. It would happen. LaCroix would feel it and he'd show up; that's what he does, he protects his protege from harm.

There were many nods to FK in that particular episode, too many to be coincidental. Joss Whedon lies? Quelle surprise.

It's in a book I have somewhere on my shelves. Or an article I read. Or perhaps I'm mistaken.

Angel's a detective, he drives a convertible, he lives in LA, he broods, he makes amends for his dark deeds of his past, he has great art appreciation, he's an artist, he has flashbacks...

Angel's broke, Nick Knight is secretly fabulously wealthy. Not a similarity but an extreme difference.

Whatever.

I remembered this one:

http://www.tv.com/shows/angel/city-of-74/
Angel Season 1 Episode 1 ALLUSIONS

Angel: (Gets into wrong convertible) Dammit!
The convertible that Angel mistakenly jumps into appears to be the one belonging to vampire Nick Knight from popular Canadian show Forever Knight. Knight drives the same car as Angel is seen driving in this episode. Knight is also a 13th century vampire, making him actually a bit older than Angel himself. The Forever Knight TV movie also takes place in LA, though the series took place in Toronto.

The writers of both shows chose the same car because it had the model that had the largest trunk.

The thing is each one lives in a different parallel Universe. Angel & Buffy style vampires are demonic in origin while we don't know where Forever Knights vampires come from. Certainly Angel vampires have far more monstrous faces. Something only hinted at with very ancient vampires in Forever Knight as seen to some extent by the Enforcers. I think they could be evenly matched. Nick having the strength that comes with vampire age, and being of a higher vampire generation. Angel would have the increased strength of the monstrous demon within him. One things for sure. I think both could beat the hell out of the Twilight vampires.

In Forever Knight, one does not loose ones Soul when one becomes a Vampire. Even Divia had a Soul.

in fact, I dot understand Vampires not having Souls in Whedonland...

A difference between the two series. In TWILIGHT vampires sparkle and don't burn in sunlight. They also have poison in their bite but people (young ones, anyway) accept that they're vampires. The genre continues, to my everlasting regret.

Every series has some difference and similarities. Personally, I despise the TWILIGHT genre. I read the first book because a young person of my acquaintance loves the series. I wish that I had that two hours back that I wasted reading that book. It made my brain hurt.

Stephanie Meyers wrote that stupid book for the purpose of pushing abstinence only sex ed on teens. Look how it failed within her own book: Bella would have jumped Edward's bones at any instant to have sex! My point is that abstinence only sex ed doesn't work and she illustrated it perfectly. Epic fail, thus I hate that blasted book.

Nick and Angel are on the same side. No fight. Besides, Nick can fly. He'd win.

Lexy,

Similar experience. A friend recommended the book because "I know you love vampire books." She had recommended a different, beloved book, so I trusted her. After finishing I literally said out loud, "Well. That's an evening I'll never get back." The cats shrugged and said nothing back.

Twilight is not a vampire book. It's misbegotten propaganda aimed at betweens that accidentally hit it big.

Don't get me started on the prey animals that woman chose for her vampires. We have a limited number of grizzly bears. It would be noticed if they began disappearing. Stephanie Mayers's ignorance is abysmal! Had she had her macho vampires feed on mule deer instead or white tail deer, no one would have noticed and it would have been a boon to the grizzly bear population. The day she married straight out of.high.school was a brain.drain on our youth. For that matter, animal blood is available at the butcher and the abattoir for a low cost. It can be delivered in barrels to the home for the purpose of making blood puddings. Her vampires are morons for not knowing that as well.

Stupidest vampires on the planet. Nick Knight's Enforcers should drain them all.

Edit: IMHO Nick Knight and Angel would destroy the Twilight pukes, glitter, venom, daylight walkers and all. 😄
