Surely someone is running a Highlander ficathon themed on the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns's birth, right?  If not, someone should!  Also Monarch of the Glen, please, while I'm wishing for fresh new dreams in sleeping fandoms.

I finally went to look at the updated official HL website today, and:

What is this Highlander: Reunion?  What have you heard?  "It has been ten years since we left Methos, Amanda, and Joe and some things have changed, while others remain the same... now a very important event has brought the three old friends together... featuring five revealing ( Read more... )

In HL's "The Gathering," there is an exchange between Connor and Duncan, a reminiscence about one time it was not Duncan getting "all the good women," but Connor getting a certain redhead in London ("healthy girl," Duncan teases).  Did series canon (or deutero-canon: the novels, movies, endless exhaustive hard-to-read tiny-print extras on the DVDs ( Read more... )

In Highlander, is there any nugget of canon on the citizenship/immigration/visa status of the various characters in the present day, especially as they shift back and forth between Paris and Seacouver?  I am particularly curious about Tessa and Duncan's standings, especially in first season.  Tessa and Duncan are not legally married for ( Read more... )

The New York Times should know better than to say that Highlander: The Series was a knock-off of Hercules and Xena.  But other than the customary ignorance of and condescension to genre television, their article about the potential return of syndicated fantasy series is interesting and encouraging.  Apparently, Terry Goodkind has sold the rights ( Read more... )

NCIS is back tonight.  Set your VCR or TiVo or whatever.  How long until the team is reunited?

On September 11, 2001, the next episode up for exercising in the morning before work was HL's "The Darkness" (Tessa's death), VHS and stairmaster.  I didn't watch it, or exercise, that day.  Pacific time, you know.  When I began exercising again, I skipped that episode, and picked up with "Eye for an Eye" instead ( Read more... )

So it's hot, which doesn't help.  But mainly it's been hard to muster myself to exercise lately because I'm out of interesting things to watch while I ride my stationary bike.  I finished my recent Forever Knight jag; I finished all of Dungeons and Dragons (animated series); and Messers. Stewart and Colbert have been off the air for two weeks.  ( Read more... )

Are there any really good Highlander image archives out there, on the order of the "Knight Watchman" Forever Knight image archive?  I just spent half an hour on Google, unable to hit the right combination of key words to track down any HL screenshot archive (even a poor one ( Read more... )

What they are calling Highlander V: The Source is now available for pre-order on Amazon.  Release date February 26, Amazon price currently $18.99.  Average customer review? One star (out of five), and doubtless that's generous ( Read more... )
