Subject:      Plot outline for HL-M*A*S*H crossover

Somebody on alt.tv.highlander suggested a new Immortal who died for the
first time during a war may be grabbed by the CIA etc and used as an
assasin/agent.

This got me thinking and inspired the following plot outline, which I
submit for your amusement.

Anybody wishing to expand on this is more than welcome.

If we make it the Korean War we could have (wait for it)

the  Highlander / M*A*S*H  crossover.

I can see it now, Hawkeye & BJ are doing what they do when off-duty
(ribbing Charles/playing cards/chasing nurses) when the choppers start
arriving.

One soldier is clearly near death (in fact, the paramedics had theought he
was alredy dead) and is tagged bu Hawkeye to be first into the theatre (you
know the drill, serious chest & stomach wounds due to multiple hits with a
high calibre machine gun). BUT when he gets there, his condition has
improved markedly. He becomes the talk of the camp when he recovers fully
only a few hours later.

Colonel Flag gets wind of this and tries to get him to work for Military
Inteligence but is thwarted by Hawkeye, BJ & a sympathetic ambulance driver
(guess who? OK, you win, Duncan in a more peaceful role, Darius is having
some effect on him)

Closing scene of Duncan & the new Immortal driving off into the sunset,
with Hawkeye & BJ having been pursuaded to fake his death to get Flag off
his back.
