Highlander!

[deathshead2]

I did like the idea that there bones also heal that was the only good part about the epsidoe. When he was broken and you could hear the bones cracking as they were going back together. If season 2 is much better I might just buy that but I can't wait to get to the watchers.

 

[The Question]

Haha, yeah, the Beastmaster as an immortal with the worst voice ever doesn't really make a great villain. Still, I liked his axe. It's a shame more immortals didn't use axes.

I kind of liked that guy. Though, I think it was primairily because of his weapon. That was a freakin' sweep battle axe.

 

[deathshead2]

Dang this makes me want to jump back into making that highlander fan film. If only my cam would work with my editing program. Also I wouldn't have time im writing my screenplay for my sci-fi/westeren and my fantasy book.

 

[The Question]

I'd like to see a Highlander story about Immortals back during the 60s free love hippy movement. They'd all be way too high to fight each other, and just look at the back of their hands and eat fritos. It would be awesome.

 

[deathshead2]

Can immortals get high?Hmmm makes you think.

 

[The Question]

Probably. There was a scene in the first film where Connor got into a duel on the Boston Common back in the late 1700s and was drunk during the whole things.

 

[deathshead2]

Yeah I forgot about that. Ahh Connor how I miss you. But im am starting to like Duncan as a character now but I hate Richie I wish he would die. But sadly he won't sense he is an immortal. Well at least till later season when he dies and then the next season when he dies again haha.

 

[The Question]

Way I see it, the comics should have at least one story set way back in the day where the Kurgan meats up with the Four Horsemen. Maybe he fights them because he's so obsessed with the game, wheras they just want to kill an pillage indiscriminately.

 

[deathshead2]

I want to see a one shot of the Kurgan and its just the Kurgan kicking ass everyones ass like the horseman. I don't care how strong they are just let him kick there ass.

That would be awesome. I'd love to see the comic series weave characters from the movies and TV series together. The possibilities are too good to pass up: Methos hanging out with Ramirez back in ancient Egypt, Graham Ashe's training of Ramirez, tales of earlier Watchers, the origin of Sanctuary, Methos' discovery of the Watchers, etc. I'm sincerely hoping that there's a Connor/Duncan team-up at some point, too. The one in Endgame was lame because Connor was basically a shell of his former self.

 

[The Question]

Maybe they could show Ramirez befirending Methos in ancient Egypt, and then meeting him a few centuries later after he's gone crazy and joined up with the Horesmen, and have Ramirez be absolutely disgusted by the monster his friend became.

 

[deathshead2]

I would like that. We really should knw more about ramirez past.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, according to Wikipedia, Ramirez was born in the 800s BC in ancient Egypt. Methos was with the Horsemen from way back in the Bronze Age, which was between 3000 and 500 BC. So Methos would've either still been a Horseman or have already left the Horsemen by the time Ramirez was around. That is, of course, assuming the Wikipedia sources are correct. The given source is Highlander 2, which isn't regarded as canon for anything anymore, as far as I know.

 

[deathshead2]

Nope not canon don't think Highlander 3 is either.

 

[wiegeabo]

Can immortals get high?Hmmm makes you think.

There was an episode where all one of Duncan's old, old friends wanted to do was get wasted. Became sort of an immortal drug runner/dope fiend.

Of course, the question is how how much of the Bronz Age did he spend in the Horesmen? Methos could have been a little less homicidal when he met Ramirez in the 800s. That's a little under 300 years to lose his marbles and go mass murdering. Plenty of time.

That was Brian Cullen. He was once considered the greatest swordsman among the immortals, but he lost his nerve in a fight one day and decided to retreat into the opium dens then and cocaine in the present. He almost killed Richie, then Duncan offered to help him and Cullen repaid his kindness by running him over with a van and trying to kill him. Duncan ended up killing Cullen.

This Methos fan page claims that there was a scene cut from the episode "Revelations 6:8" (the second of the Four Horsemen two-parter) where they showed Methos betraying Kronos in ancient Greece so that he could go off and learn rather than continuing to rape and pillage. That could've been from anywhere in the 1st millennium BC, so he could've possibly met Ramirez after he'd ditched Kronos and the Horsemen and was a little more enlightened.

 

[Silicon Surfer]

In the episode where they reveal the origin of Cassandra, Methos mentions that the Horsemen terrorized two continents for a thousand years. Cassandras origin was approx. 3000 years ago so Methos was definately a Horseman before Ramirez was born. Where in the approx. 1000 year span Cassandras story takes place is never told. At that point they did seem to have been together for some time however so it was probably not the beginning.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm, I didn't remember that Methos mentioned a number for his time with the Horsemen. Damn, something really needs to delve into Methos' timeline a bit more. There's way too much interesting stuff there to go untold. If only we could get another Methos Chronicles type of thing, but with better animation or even live-action. I'm pretty sure Peter Wingfield is always up for playing Methos some more.

 

[War Lord]

Yeah I forgot about that. Ahh Connor how I miss you. But im am starting to like Duncan as a character now but I hate Richie I wish he would die. But sadly he won't sense he is an immortal. Well at least till later season when he dies and then the next season when he dies again haha.

I liked Ritchie. His character's potential was very underused.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought so, too. It annoyed me that he'd disappear for several episodes at a time. He offered a unique, young immortal perspective that Duncan, Amanda, and especially Methos could never provide in the present, what with their being between 400 and 5000 years old.

 

[Spike_x1]

Is Endgame going to be completely forgotten in this comic? I know that Connor's still alive in the continuity they're going for, but if some elements from Endgame remain, I think it might be interesting if perhaps Jacob Kell and the Kurgan met in the past at some point, and to see how they might've interacted.

 

[The Question]

The continuity of the comic is thus:

The origional movie, but Connor VS. The Kurgan wasn't the fight for the prize, and Connor's was a personal victory, not the end of The Game. Then it's the Highlander TV show, with DUncan and Methos and the Horsemen and all that great stuff. Endgame, or at least Connor's death in Endgame, did not happen, so any stories set in modern times would have Connor alive and well, although still as cynical and psychologically scarred as ever.

 

[Spike_x1]

Sooo.... you don't know the answer to my initial question?

 

[The Question]

Not really, no.



However, Kell apearing would not be entirely out of the question. I found it odd that Duncan was the one to have the final duel with him when he was really Connor's enemy.
