The thought occurs...

Apologies if it's been mentioned in the show beforehand (I'm *very* rusty on the first two seasons...), and I've missed it, but I was wondering something. What do you think (or already know) would happen if a pre-immie took a head of an immortal? Would they get the Quickening, or would it be lost

This happens twice in Highlander: The Raven episodes, with pre-Immortal Nick Wolfe. Once in "Bloodlines," and again in "The Ex-Files." In the former, nobody gets the quickening. Nick watches it from pretty close quarters, while Amanda sees it from outside, but is too late to receive the Q. In the latter episode, Amanda gets it, even though Nick is closer. Take that as you will. :)

A-ha! Thank you. : D
This is what comes of only having watched about two and a half eps of H:tR... Precious tidbits of knowledge lost!

I think this is what Highlander fandom keeps me around for. Random HL:TR trivia. *g*

Also, there actually *is* a Quickening, even with just Nick around.
With only mortals, is said there will be no Quickening. I think.

=================================

Tasha wrote about this issue in an original way in her Dividing Series. What if there were immortal twins? Would they be able to take each other's heads? Would they share quickenings? It's a great series, the url is below for the fanfic page.
