I guess that's my right as well. Fine, your right - but I can see that we'll have a lot to talk about at a con NOT!

Well, sure. If Connor had lost, it wouldn't be the Highlander franchise, it would be the Kurgan franchise. And the series would have been...subtly...different. Less angst, more viscera. A run on body jewelry in Vancouver/Paris supply stores. Belching contests instead of katas. And AV, EG & co. wouldn't have enjoyed filming the love scenes nearly as much. > I'm outspoken enough that everyone here knows my stance > on HL fandom, and what needs to be done to save the franchise, namely, the > resurrection of Connor Macleod. Nah--he's happier back w/ Heather in the Highlands. >Here's a great poll. Where do most of the people on this list fall in the >spectrum? I don't fall much anymore.

Oh, too bad--just 3 letters away from being correct! >A healthy focus is a good thing. "Healthy" apparently being the operative word, there. >I am open to new ideas, as long as they don't include Connor dying. Well, see, the people who made HL:EG _did_ have that particular idea. It wouldn't have been my choice, but it was inevitable, for lots of reasons. >I speak for those who agree with me. _Both_ of you, then? No, that's right, I've heard it's 3 or 4 of you, all crammed into one computer. >>>As leader of the Save Connor movement and a high ranking official within the ranks of the Save Connor Consortium, I speak for all those persons who enjoy membership within the organization, and those who feel Connor's death was a mistake in Endgame. The Consortium consist of Save Connor, Save Connor east, The Connor Appreciation Society, The Connor Macleod Protection Force and a number of other satellite Connor-realted organizations. We estimate our numbers to be in the thousands.>>> While I appreciate all the helpful warnings people posted here about Lance, couldn't _someone_ have mentioned that he's ***12***???
