Highlander!

[The Question]

No, he's gonna resurrect Jango Fett and kill him again, 'cause that mutha****a deserves it. Then he's gonna sip some grape soda with Yoda.

Makes sense to me. Christ, an immortal and a Jedi? Mutha****a's gonna win that prize easy.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Seriously. Swords? Please. Sam Jackson's gonna take his grape lightsaber to those *****es.

 

[wiegeabo]

And remember, he did take Jango's head. We probably just didn't see the quickening on screen.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Totally.

 

[The Question]

And Star Wars is "long long ago," right? Way I see it, he survived the fall in episode three, rurgically aquired new hands, left the republic galaxy, came to Earth, and eventually took the identity of Samuel L. Jackson.

Its all coming together.....but I bet he grew new hands....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He made new hands out of snakes he found on the very first plane.

 

[GyLocke]

Hey, what happens to a non SLJ immortal when he looses a hand?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sam Jackson comes by to laugh at them.

Awesome. I don't know whether I'll get the Dell'Otto or Dorman cover.

Great interview. I'm particularly looking forward to more insight into Connor and Rachel's father/daughter relationship. The best news, however, came from the posts, where someone stole a bit from Oeming talking on Dynamite's message board:

Seems like the "official" continuity (as official as it gets, anyway) for the comic series is going to be Highlander 1, minus Connor winning the Prize from killing the Kurgan, plus all six seasons of the TV series. No 2nd, 3rd, or 4th movies, so the immortals are still enigmas rather than aliens, Connor's not a ****** for thinking he won the Prize while Mario Van Peebles was pulling a Captain America in Japan, and both Connor and Duncan are still alive in the present and near future. Huzzah!

Wow... I want that one!

So everyone wins. Hooray. Maybe they're be an issue where Connor and Methos go out drinking together.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You're thinking too small. Here's one for you: maybe there'll be an issue where we learn that Methos trained the Kurgan back in his Horseman days.

 

[The Question]

......dude.




Wait. No. They already mentioned The Kurgan's teacher in the show. He was some Middle Eastern guy. The Kurgan killed him when his training was complete and weilded his scimitar for a while.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Balls. Oh well, maybe Methos and the Kurgan went out drinking in the 1100s or something.

Actually, thinking about it further, why couldn't the Kurgan have had more than one teacher? Connor was initially trained by Ramirez, but he also learned from others. Duncan was initially trained by Connor, but he also learned from a lot of others.

 

[The Question]

True. Maybe he could have ran with the Horesmen for a while. Or, better yet, maybe they could do a slight retcon and say Methos gave The Kurgan his first death.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That would be interesting. Did they ever mention who killed the Kurgan for the first time?

 

[The Question]

I read on Wikipedia that his father, while drunk, bashed his head in with a rock. But then, I'm not sure if that was ever mentioned in the films or TV series, or if it was just given on the net as his official bio.

 

[wiegeabo]

Or maybe Methos trained both Kurgan and Ramirez.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think Duncan met Ramirez's mentor on the TV show, actually. But, again, it's probably likely that they had more than one great teacher over the many, many years they've been alive.

Speaking of which, how old is the Kurgan anyway? Methos is 5,000, Ramirez was about 2,000 when he died, but I don't remember ever hearing how old the Kurgan was.

 

[The Question]

The Kurgan cultures spanned huge periods in Russia. He could be from the Eneolyth age, the Bronze age, the Iron age, the Antiquity age, or the Middle Age.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But the Kurgan himself has never received an official age?
