only 200 *gins*

Btw, I have a question. Since you've seen it so many times and all maybe you can answer it for me. How exactly does Connor walk under the lake after Ramirez tips him off the boat? I would have thought he would have just drowned and then come back to life. Did I miss something?

well - if you saw the series 1st, and the movie later -- it's called a 'canon' screw up ---


Greg Widen wrote the original in grad school -- and apparently immies are supposed to be able to breathe underwater -- however - the Series PTB didn't write stuff that way -- don't really know why -- except that generally some pieces of canon are altered when a movie is made into a tv series ---

but - the point behind Connor walking around underwater is to prove to him that he IS immortal and will not die - regardless of whether or not he can swim --- yes, there are other ways that could be proven - but that scene in the boat is classic! i love the haggis discussion!!!

*grins* yeah...I love that scene too...and that makes sense...just one of those things that always bugged me.

 

[Highlander II]

yeah - it's just one of those scenes that makes sense, until you see other Highlander stuff - then you have to decide which of the highlander stuff you're gonna stick w/ - the original movie (what should have been done, btw), or the series (yeah - they should have watched the movie b4 playing around here), or sorta merge the two together ---- (what most fans end up doing)


you pick ----- that's what fic is for!!

 

[Diamond9697]

yeah...all I can say is thank goodness for fics and muses...no matter how annoying the latter might be *g*

 

[Analise]

(Ana's muses in unison)- We are NOT annoying!

Lyle Muse: Really? (confused look, not sure how he is on ana's desktop when he's standing on the floor) Um... cool - i guess. (confused look remains)


(psst - ana - Lyle doesn't know anything about computers - so, he's a bit lost )

 

[Analise]

*snickers* I wouldn't mind you sitting on my desk Lyle...but I mean the picture that's on my main computer screen...

That help?

~ana

 

[Diamond9697]

<I heard that Pretty-Krycek>

I didn't specify any particular muses guys...come on...you know I love you

 

[Analise]

Heard what???

Oh...that....

*shrugs and grins* I had a soda bottle picture there the other day.

Besides, Krycek's still the main theme in my screensaver.

Lyle Muse: oh - ok - now i understand. <gruffs> computers.

 

[Diamond9697]

not compy lierate huh Lyle?

 

[Highlander II]

no - Lyle is not compy literate --- i don't think he wants to be either -- he doesn't trust computers --

 

[Diamond9697]

that's always interested me about Methos. He was so good with all that technology stuff. Talk about learning how to adapt! The guy started before the invention of fire possibly and he's so damn good at so many things.

 

[Analise]

We know what things you're thinking about, dia...

wow...i'm really living in the gutter lately.

uhm....

I'll just go get brainwashed into being a nice innocent child now.

okay - 1st - one cannot invent something like fire -fire existed from the beginning of time (we'll not get into all the logistics and which theory is correct, b/c it's not relevent) -- fire existed, man just had to find a way to create it --

<end of lesson>

and yes - Methos is very good at so many things -- and he's different from many ppl who would have lived through 'the before time' (To borrow a phrase from south park) -- Methos lived through the times where there was little in the way of technology at all, and is willing to embrace indoor plumbing, electrical lighting, computers, the internet, CD-ROMs -- all of it ---

there are lots of ppl who don't have computers and VCR's and such -- b/c they didn't have them when they were growing up and they don't think they're necessary -- and there are lots of ppl who grew up in the same time and have ALL of the gadgets --

so - Methos knows what things were like before all of this technology - and he knows what things are like w/ it -- which does he prefer, i wonder????

speaking of tech -- i wanna know how immies chopped heads off before metalurgy was prevelent -- how did they 'win' a battle when they didn't have swords and knives and such?????

 

[markpud]

probably there wasnt much in the way of beheading before the dawn of metallurgy.. unless the immies "killed" their opponent and hacked their heads off with big stones while they were out cold

see -- more backstory is needed --

anyone know how we could contract Greg Widen and ask him? i SO don't wanna ask DPP - they'd probably say something like, well, see, there really weren't any immortals before metalurgy, b/c see, Duncan wasn't alive then, so there was no one to behead any of those evil immies, so, see, they didn't really exist, they were just a figment of someone's imagination, stories to tell children before they went to sleep. Then this great immortal named Duncan came along, invented swords and ran around killing all the other immortals, b/c he has to be the last one, b/c no one else matters -------- at which point i punch out Panzer and use one of Duncan's swords to cut my own head off so i don't have to listen to him anymore --
