Callum Keith Rennie plays Annie's goon Neal, & in The Innocent he plays
Immie Tyler King.
Speaking of familiar faces, NYPD Blue has had Chandra West (RR's squeeze
Donna in Line of Fire) as a recurring character the last few eps--a doctor
that young Det. Clark dates. She was oh, so sweet last night....

Yeah, but I do enjoy seeing Michael Shanks bite the dust.

Yup. I probably only know that one because I'm a big
fan of Due South, the series he was a regular on for
1(or 2 depending on which country you're in...only
some divided them up that way)season. Hm.....a DS/HL
cross could be interesting when you consider that a
MacLeod and a Fraser would probably work
together...just that it'd be slightly ironic
considering the two clans were enemies a long time
ago. Now, if I only could get a plot going, I'd be in
business.
I ordered those two eps (Innocent and Eye for and Eye)
from a DS friend to see CKR, and after that,
fuhgiddaboudit....I was desperate for more Highlander.
Good thing TNN came to my rescue, 'cause watching the
same two eps to see Duncan was getting tiring LOL.

Subject: Eurominutes - The Zone
I think I deserve a medal for sitting through The Zone twice. The twitch may never go away.
There *have* to be 4 extra minutes in the Euro-version. There have to be. But damned if I could find them. I can account for about 45 seconds. After that..it must be dozens of micro-cuts of one or two frames- and if you think I'm watching that thing again to count frames.....
**************************************
(1) After Charlie and Duncan leave Asia's clinic the first time Duncan meets her, they walk through the Zone..
TNN:
Charlie: People around here don't trust outsiders, ya know what I mean?
Duncan: I can see why.
<shot of woman with two children)
<shot of people warming hands over a fire>
<cut to the dojo office. Joe writing Duncan talking>
Euro:
<shot of woman with two children)
<shot of people warming hands over a fire>
Charlie:I'm beginning to hate this place. I didn't spend this much time down here when I lived down here.
Duncan: I told you you didn't have to come.
Charlie: If you're dumb enough to come down here, the least I can do is be dumb enough to keep you company.
<another sot of people warming hands over a fire>
<cut to the dojo office. Joe writing Duncan talking>
(2) After Asia has lured Duncan down to the Zone. Duncan gets tossed in freezer, Asia gets tossed in the freezer. Teo gets shot.
TNN:
Canaan: Pick up the body. We have a meeting to go to.
<Canaan and crew head for the door>
<cut to Asia kneeling to check Duncan's pulse. Gets up and kicks the locked door>
Euro:
<Canaan and crew head for the door. Canaan pauses and looks around with a satisfied look. He exits.>
<cut to Asia in freezer. She checks the door. Walks to Duncan and kneels to check his pulse. Gets up and kicks the locked door.>
(3) The final fight with Canaan has a few extra blows thrown.
*********************************************
That's it. No missing scenes..no cool "tag". Nothing. But I suppose we should be glad because who amongst us would really want 4 more minutes of this crap?

If it was the middle ages, the highlands of Scotland in the 17th
century, or the 1950s. Not in the '90s when such attitudes have
(I fervently hope) bitten the dust.
>That Richie should have been able to do *something* to protect Tessa.
Oh, I agree there. Duncan *is* who he is. And no doubt he thinks
that subconsciously even though he may know intellectually that
Richie couldn't have done anything.
>I just never got any feel that Duncan
>regretted not telling Richie-for any reason.
Me neither. I just think that maybe afterwards he might have
subconsciously thought that if he'd told Richie, Richie wouldn't
have been scared to take the guy out or something.
>I never blamed Richie for acting 19. I blamed him for acting like a

Well, he *is* frozen at that age. Just like Duncan seems to be frozen
in his attitudes to women. "A couple of medieval songwriters come up
with the idea of chivalry one rainy day, and you embrace it as a
lifestyle."
>I'm not sure how this is germane to the discussion.
Just an example.

Right. And three years after becoming Immortal Duncan was still
wearing filthy clothes and hanging out in the woods. Why didn't he
get cleaned up and start thinking about the future? Highland barbarian.
>But..Richie didn't really give it a fair chance and in the end, he
>died long before he needed to
But he was learning there. Unlike Duncan's other friends, Richie was
the one who supported Duncan and stood by him. And got himself killed
for his trouble. He would have been better off running away again.
Yes, he'd get called a coward and a bad friend, but he'd still be
alive. Funny how no one calls Methos and Joe bad friends for discussing
Duncan's mental health and thinking he was nuts.

But Saint Michael is the only decent thing in the whole episode! :)

James was on Enterprise again last night. Those Trek casting agents =
