For a vampire show, FK is really hard to work with if one wants to keep the timelines equal--which I want to do for all of these. How to bring all these mid-90s shows into 2011 without sacrificing what they're about? LaCroix is the only main cast member who walks out of the show alive. The final few episodes were a literal blood bath, with the last seconds implying that LaCroix stakes Nick (his "son" and the series star) who is kneeling over Natalie's (Nick's unrequited love interest's) body.
On the show, LaCroix uses his persona as The Nightcrawler on the radio to speak to and taunt his protege Nick about how Nick is or should be feeling. A lot of the broadcasts are about guilt and family. But these's always an undercurrent in them that LaCroix is talking about himself and/or trying to convince himself as much as he's trying to convince Nick: "Guilt is for the weak. To harbor it is to deny yourself freedom, to be a captive, a slave."
So, now that his family is dead, LaCroix needs a new one. He doesn't know it yet, but Derek is out there listening and struggling with a lot of the same issues that his first son was.
