Forever is eating my brain:
Can you imagine the conversation when they offered Burn Gorman that role, though:
:
“We’d like you to play a 2000 year old psychopathic immortal intent on killing our Welsh leading actor. Think you can cope with that?”
“That’s quite alright. I once played a walking, talking dead man in a Welsh tv show.”
or simply: I survived John Barrowman I can take anything you throw at me. So sorry. I cannot stop giggling about this show.
Also, this is not a fic! But it's a first step towards writing again. So YAY.
Not-Title: The Highlander Not-Fic
Fandom: Forever (US Series)
Characters: Henry Morgan, Abe Weinraub
:
So, remember in 1x11 of Forever when Lucas makes the Highlander quip and Henry ‘pretends’ not to know about it? Yeah, there is no fucking way that Abe didn’t make sure Henry knows about Highlander!
Just imagine, we’re writing the year 1986 when Abe barges into Henry’s apartment one day shouting “Pops, they made a movie about you!”
He waves some sort of movie magazine thing (not a fic, I don’t need to research this shit!) at Henry; and Henry, after a moment of horrified shock, reads the blurb on the new Russell Mulcahy movie starring one Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery.
Abe is all excited and forces Henry to go watch the movie with him. When they’re done, Henry is absolutely 100% justifiably appalled. “Why would ANYONE think that cutting the head off someone’s shoulders is a sensible idea. Swords are so inconvenient. Also, logically speaking none of these men are truly immortal. They can be killed. What utter nonesense.”
He decrees that they shall never mention the existence of this movie ever again. In fact, he resolves to stay away from movie theatres from that day on.
Abe secretly watches all the movies and owns the box set of the series. Every now and then he will mutter ‘there can be only one’ when he is truly annoyed by Henry rubbing his immortality in Abe’s face. Abe finds it hilarious. Henry pretends not to hear.
