Well Zeist was purged from the highlander ream. So now we are going to
find a new place -- I just hope they don't decide on Atlantis
I want a movie about the number one bad boy set long before Highlander.

Totally new location. I have no idea where, but nowhere we've been before -
maybe California, or New Orleans or Boston

I think this depends on which Duncan we're talking about. The Duncan
from the series, or the Duncan from Endgame.

Clancy Brown wants nothing to do with Highlander. I seriously doubt he will
ever be involved with Highlander again.
I suppose it could happen if enough money were offered, but considering the
budget on which a Highlander movie is made, it's safe to say that's very
unlikely.

Subject: Intro
I just now found the list...is it still as active as
it was when Highlander was on TV? I've seen all of the
movies and read a couple of the books, but only have
two episodes of the TV show on tape. Is Scifi really
thinking of bringing the show back? I hope so, because
I just can't get 'into' the Raven somehow. Not that
it's not good (don't want to offend any Raven fans out
there). I'll declare myself as a Duncan flag-waver. I
don't write a lot of fic yet, but probably will once I
see more of the series. Hope to have some fun on here.

Um. State of mind. Recent history.
Series Duncan had just recovered from the loss of a friend (Richie)
and decided that his life was worth living again. Endgame Duncan
just whacked his kinsman and found out that the rules of the Game are
a little...iffy.
I think series Duncan would be much less prone toward
melancholy...thus, more likely to live in an exciting place like a
major city.

Ah yes. I knew that. I just had a brain fade.

And Endgame Duncan would have retreated to his island.

Did anyone else catch Peter Wingfield with an American accent and
an ominously creaky black leather jacket on a PAX show called
Just Cause? I think they rebroadcast during the week if anyone
wants to catch it.

Interesting question; thanks for tossing it out! :-)
I'm in agreement that post-Endgame Duncan will be heading for the
island (or maybe a Tibetan monastery) for a while, so let's see....
post-TB/NTB Duncan... Hmmm.....
I think that first, he'd head back to his roots. Someone correct me
if I'm wrong, but I believe he hasn't been back to Glenfinnan since
"Homeland". Especially now that he's put a lot of ghosts to rest, I
think he's due for some time with Rachel MacLeod, Donan Woods, and
Loch Scheel (if that's the right name?).
After some down time, I think he'd go somewhere that he can be
useful. Someplace where he can add something positive to the world,
possibly working as a medic again. Afghanistan. Bosnia. Or maybe
Isreal would be most likely.

Would he work as a spy? After helping clear the rubble following 9/11,
would he work to ferret out terrorists?
