So, I found a ficcer who does lots of awesome stories about minor one-shot or infrequently-recurring characters from Highlander: The Series. I especially like the fics about Cory Raines, Matthew McCormick, and Carl Robinson. (Matthew taught both of the other two.) There's a load of them that are crossovers with X-Files, because Matthew is an FBI

So! Watched the Carl episodes (he's barely mentioned at the end of the Derek episode), and the Matthew episode (it being the second Carl episode) and the Cory episode.

Nothing about what Matthew was doing or who he was before he was a slave-owning plantation owner in the American South. Nothing about what Cory was doing before he was "...just think of me as the Robin Hood of the 1920s"ing, and also that episode really showcased Duncan being a whiny, petulant, vindictive jerk, and Amanda playing headgames and then getting upset when Duncan doesn't understand what she wants from him despite never telling him what that was, with a "wah-wah forever alone" Duncan bit at the end that I just wasn't feeling. When Richie is being a jerk and is still the most sympathetic and sensible recurring character in the episode, soemthing has gone awry.

Also, Duncan met both Cory and Carl for the first time in 1926. But he hung out with Carl again a couple decades later. He didn't see Cory again until he broke into the guy's house because Amanda was there.

Might watch the Ceirdwyn and Alex Rven episodes to see if there's anything there, but couldn't stand the Marcus Constantine episode the first time (bastardizing Egypt again), and doubt any of the Matthew of Salisbury or Corwin a'Greene stuff is canon. Might be from the Watcher's CD.
