      This is far from perfect but may be enough to give the idea:
      
      Adrian Paul, the star of Highlander, becomes a hunter of (?
      fugitives?) in the future.  He will receive about 8 million (I'm
      guessing francs -- about $1.1 million) for the role.  Gil Grant, the
      producer of Relic Hunter, produces the as yet untitled series, which
      will film in Vancouver.  "I am pleased to be back among (?fans?) of
      television, after three years in film," he said.  Paul has finished a
      police film in Budapest, A Breed Apart.
      
      BTW -- the series does have a title -- it's Tracker.  It's on the poster
      behind him in one of the photos.

      Then it's inaccurate Canadian information.  According to AP's own
      web site -- he has a "low seven figure" deal.  That's Hollywood
      speak for right around $1 million -- not over $5 million US, which is
      what $8 million Canadian would be.

      Getting back to characters named after fans...
      
      I checked the Forever Knight episode ("Fate Worse Than Death"),
      Debbie, and our fellow listee's namesake was called "JulieBeamer"
      four times in the episode and just plain "Julie" ten times.
      
      What a pain to have to watch that very good episode and check (not).

      Erm... uh, yes.
      
      When Gillian was working on Baywatch, she named the marine biologist in
      her episode "Eel Nin~o" after me.  Dr. Maier was only on-screen for about
      a nanosecond (although I think she got more air time than Julie Beamer,
      dead hooker), but they never did mention her first name.
      
      And Marina and I "shared" Richie's Watcher in the Watcher CD-ROM, Claire
      Bailey.

      Yes.  And that spelling was used because Gillian hates to have her name
      mispronounced-- it's with a hard "g."  They figured that if they used
      "Gillian," it was likely to be pronounced as "Jillian" anyway, so they
      went with a true Jillian instead.

      Yup.  And Rebecca, Sean Burns, and Darius are also dead.  (Rebecca didn't
      even make it out of the teaser alive.)

      She didn't die, she wasn't a criminal, and didn't act dippy.  She was a
      marine biologist that Mitch consulted about the eel.

      Ah, then my recall of that ep must have been clouded by the
      anticipation of waiting for and watching the ep (it was Gillian's
      first FK writing credit) and the thrill of having a fellow Founding
      Geezer's name used in the ep and then seeing Gillian and Julie at a
      convention shortly after the episode. I could have swore that Schanke
      and Nick never said just "Julie" in the whole episode.

      I'm perfectly willing.  I would lay down my life to Save connor's with no
      hesitation.  No  one with the power to actually BBC (Bring Back Connor) has
      made that offer.  If they do, let me know.

      Of course you don't, Lance. Lying tends to do that. Pretty soon
      you can't remember what nonsense you've been telling people.
      
      >You have no proof of my alleged lies.  What happened to "innocent until

      Ah, but we do have proof. Stated proof by listees who know where
      your supposed "march" actually took place, and can produce the
      same original pictures without the faked stuff you added in.
      People called DPP and asked them about your nonsense. You have
      been proven guilty many times. Why you continue to bother the
      list with your lies is beyond most of us. Why not go off to
      e-groups or one of those and get your own list where you can
      talk to your sock puppets all day and have them agree with you?
      
      Or better yet, get therapy.

      Did this thing clear enough markets at NAPTE last week to make it a "go"?  I heard AP was there and taking lots of "meetings" - I suppose that is a good thing?
      
      I do hope they come up with some original plots ...this whole alien on earth thing has been done a lot in the last couple of years. (Yes, I know..nothing is new).
      
      Just for fun..let's see what standard plots we can come up with for them to recycle<eg>
      
      1) Pilot episode- set mostly in space..we meet Adrian - now known as "Dirk" - the outer space lawman" - transporting 100 bad guys to a prison planet. Dirk gets sidetracked by his partner, a beautiful female guard,  and in the heat of passion, accidently pushes the button that opens the cell doors. The prisoners escape, take over the ship, crash the ship on Earth killing the female partner and stranding Dirk. All Dirk has left is the nifty gadget to send aliens home, his transformer pills (which allow him to blend into the local population) and his 400 year old katana<eg> Pilot ends with Dirk burying his lover and swearing to catch and return all 100 aliens before sending himself home.
      
      2) Dirk meets Planet Earth.  Dirk must learn to survive and blend in to a strange and sometimes hostile environment. The food is odd, he eats the toothpaste (Don't swallow the Dentic!"), cars almost run him over and everyone thinks his choice of clothing is weird (he outfits himself from a wash line filled with 60's retro clothes). He does meet a beautiful blonde woman- probably named Rachel-  - probably a reporter, social worker or single mother waitress- who is kind to this gorgeous but oddly clueless man. Dirk feels a stirring in his loins but figures it is just indigestion from eating too much Pepsodent.
      
      3)Dirk finds his first alien bad guy. Alien bad guys have better luck blending into the underbelly of American life - mostly because low life scum is the same all over the universe. On the trail, Dirk has his first run in with American cop who will become a regular character- gruff and a bit seedy, this cop, Nick,  will become a good friend and helper before the season is half over. Rachel will find herself drawn to Dirk but  confused by his insistence that she stay away. She sees him transport the bad guys and is left wondering who the heck this hunk-o-burning love really is.
      
      4) Another bad guy to chase. Further..Dirk's having more trouble with his new body. The pills don't seem to be working and he periodically shifts back to his "real" form (which looks basically human except for forehead ridges and a funny nose). Just by chance, he discovers that Worchestershire sauce will keep him in shape. He now knows tat he can trance all the other bad guys by looking for people buying huge quantizes of  Worchestershire sauce.
      
      5) Dirk ends up in jail. Dirk is seen fighting a bad alien who later turns up dead. Dirk is charges with murder. Unable to explain his real purpose, Dirk faces years being as Big Tommy's "wife" in cell block Q. Rachel doesn't belive Dirk is a killed and sets out to help him. Aided by  Nick, Rachel finds evidence that the bad guys had lots of enemies. The real killer is found and Dirk is freed. Rachel waits expectantly for a thank-you kiss but Dirk knows he must move on and does so.
      
      6) Discovery. Dirk is injured  in a car accident. He runs away from the paramedic and hide in Rachel's garage. She finds him and nurses him back to health- discovering his true identity when he babbles  weirdness while suffering a high fever. He swears her to secrecy and she  now understands why he is so unmoved by her obvious attraction to him. He can't get involved wit humans- he has a job to do and them a home planet to return to. Beside..he still mourns his dead lover. And on top of that, he isn't sure how this new body  would perform . They agree is is best if they remain good friends. She walks away ..still in love. He walks away..wondering about that whole loins thing.
      
      7) The Arch-Enemy.. Dirk finds clues to the whereabouts of Dr. Demento, the worst mass murderer in known space. He killed Dirks' first partner and is the bane of Dirk's existence. Demento discovers Dirk's human friends and tries to kill Rachel. Dirk saves her but in the process, Demento escapes again. He will return 3 more times before the Season Finale each time escaping at the last minute.

      It seems Lance is either:  yanking our chains just for fun,  desperately
      seeking attention, a pathological liar, seriously in need of medical help,
      or some combination of the above.
      
      Lance, if you are serious about being willing to die to save the "life" of
      a FICTIONAL character in a MOVIE please seek mental help immediately.
      
      This isn't fun.  It's very, very sad.  Please, get help soon.

      Personally, I'm hoping for an ep where we find out Dirk's home planet
      doesn't believe in wearing clothes, & in a fit of home-sickness he strides
      around his apartment--cooking gourmet meals, working out, rearranging
      furniture--in as little as the censors will allow these days.
      
      And, I think we can count on finding out about his species' outlandish
      sexual practices & reproductive workings.  I just hope it isn't one of those
      the-males-have-the babies (in 2.5 days) things.
