Subject: Prices for Seasons on DVD?
Hi,
For some reason I can't access the website for the Highlander Store. I was
wondering how much the seasons on DVD were going for now that its been a
little while after they have been released?
Thanks,
Chris

I got there yesterday via http://www.themethoschronicles.net/ and found HL
merchandise. (Whatever happened with that?) First season (the only one
right now) on DVD is 129.95. All seasons on video is 99.95 each.

Hello, Highla-L, I'm new here.
::::: falls off porch giggling :::::
Actually, I got high-speed internet access. :::: preen :::: If
anyone has me bookmarked as zklee@patriot.net, or even
zklee@huskynet, would you please bookmark me as
kzimmerman3@cox.net?
OBHLR:
Has anyone done any thinking about the nature of the Great
Highlander Obsession of the 90's? I know I haven't been that
hooked on anything since - oh - the Beatles in about 1965? ::::
thumping cane ::::
I haven't watched HL for a very long time - it's kind of like
books that I read until they're memorized. I'm always re-reading
books in my mind. I remember one book that I read to pieces in
the 70's when I found it: Edna Ferber's "Saratoga Trunk". I'd
watched that spectacular train wreck scene as a kid (Gary Cooper
and Ingrid Bergman starred), and I loved the movie and loved the
book even more.
Highlander is the same way. Right now the scene going through my
mind, for some reason (I'm thirsty?) is Daniel Da - er Duncan
running, shirtless and in slo-mo, across a pond in Mountain Men
("...nekkid blade to nekkid blade...").
I don't think I'll ever watch some of the episodes. 'The
Darkness" is just too sad, and I've never cared that much about
the S2 Yung Fool episodes. But there are some that are just
magical, and I suspect I'll be able to pull them out soon and
watch them.
The memories, though- there's not a day that goes by that I don't
have some great and often hysterically funny memory of HL culture
at its best. HL culture, believe it or not, made a great
difference in my life and certainly kicked me out of my hermit's
cave (right next to "Was Carl T. Hermit and Immortal?") Just
thinking about the parade and the Deceased Equine Derby in
Cybercon I can still make me giggle ("Oh, the humanity!").
I think what prompted this today was looking at the cow mobile
from my old house and wondering where to hang it. :)
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Yung Fool reference, boy are you old!)

Hi
Some of old Geezers are still watching highlander.... Some of us still go to
cons to see old friends. Don't be a stranger... Highlander has been released
on dvd's (season 1) the others are also going to be released. They are
working on season 2 and then 3.

Thats because Buffy has probaby 5 times (if Not More) the fan base as
highlander. they probaby sell more of the tapes than highlander does in a
year.

I get hooked on stuff on a regular basis :) but HL has always
been that one *special* show that I wasn't *just* hooked on, but
that got some creative juices flowing and made me reach out to
other fans.
I still watch some eps, and make "squeaking sounds" when I see HL
alumni in other things. (Just got a tape of SG-1 and there was
much squeaking going on when I was PW's name as a guest star in
one ep.)

Strangely enough, I always enjoyed the fights. :) Even the knock-down,
drag-out, vicious insult-fests. (Waves to Nina.) I must just be weird
that way.

Yeah. :) My fondest memory is the image of Kip with cushions
duct-taped to himself, wearing a colander and poking the Weasel.
>I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
Same here. We're getting sentimental, aren't we?

Very true BUT I know right now 4 people that would have bought the sets if they were cheaper, and that is only because we were talking about it last week because I was showing them my season 1 Buffy set.
Then my MOM brought it up. She loved the show and asked me the other day if they sell the seasons like they are doing with Star Trek and I said yes but they are probably close to 100.00 and she just laughed.
I would LOVE to buy them but that is just way to much. I could see if there were tons of bloopers and interviews etc.
Also it would be great if you could buy some separate. I might not want a whole season but I would go nuts buying DVDs with a few eps on it.
