That's true, and he was fine as Bull. The problem with Slan was no one
told RM that HL wasn't comedy. He seemed to think he was playing a villian
in the old Batman TV series.

Actually, I thought he was simply imitating the over-the-top villain style of
Kurgan, from the original HIGHLANDER movie, and that's exactly what the
director intended. Let's face it, the Kimmies gradually got a bit more subtle
and psychological as the seasons went by, but initially they were all a bit
flamboyant. I suppose the idea was to make it clear who was evil and
deserving of losing their head, and who was noble and good (Duncan MacLeod),
as in the film. This demarcation made the "Revelation" that Methos had once
been a particularly nasty Kimmie all the more of a shock, because it came
right out of left field in a universe where the baddies had, until then, been
clear. It was no wonder that Duncan himself was taken by surprise and didn't
believe it was true until Methos himself told him so.

Subject: OT: I Have an Extra Copy of the TRACKER Premiere (Adrian P and Geraint
W. D.)
Hi all,
I am using my Best Friend's computer here, it has AOL 7, so I have no idea
how this will look once posted---I apologize in advance for any difficulties!
Also, I am crossposting, hence the OT and actors' names in my subject header.
OK, so what I have is an extra **OFF AIR** (LOL) copy of the premiere of
Tracker. Relic Hunter (Saturday's ep) is on the tape before it. It starts
as EP then we switched it to SP during the first commercial of Tracker. It
is somewhat fuzzy as my friend does not have cable......but it is definitley
watchable.
I taped it at home too, off cable, so I don't need this tape. **SUSAN** <g>
you do not need this, I made yours already.
So, I will do my draw a name from the hat thing--this is off air, so I don't
think it should cause too much of a stir :)
Write to me **off list** at
mccelt2000@aol.com
I will put all names and addys I receive into the hat through about 6 pm
Wednesday evening, Pacific time--that should give Digest folks on all the
lists I am sending this to a chance as well.
The "winner" can have the tape as a GIFT, no postage, no nothing :)
Good luck and Hugs to all!!
Forever Yours,
Forever Peace,
Billie-Lee (who is indeed reading her KoC mail and is with you all)

My local station preempted both showings of the premiere after baseball.....
Thanks for the chance!
