Subject: new catalog
A new catalog came with my first season DVD's and I don't recognize the
picture on the cover. Anyone who has it, is it from one of the episodes?
Anyone who doesn't, it's Duncan, with ponytail, wearing an oversized blue,
maybe gray, long sleeved polo shirt with the back reaching mid thigh,
holding onto some sort of pipe with a bend at the top and he appears to be
kicking a sword up into the air. I don't recognize the sword. Sound familiar?

It's from near the end of Studies in Light--the hospital rooftop fight where
DM scares the crap out of Greg Powers. DM is holding the pipe that he
grabbed in the stairwell, & it is Greg's sword he kicks up to grab. Cool
move.

That catalog cover really gave me a jolt when I saw it - like a
window into a world of long ago. Studies in Light was one of the
eps that I surreptitiously watched nearly a decade ago(!) It was
one that got me irrevocably hooked on Highlander. It was one of
the neatest fights in the whole series, capped off with that
great kick of the sword.
Ah, were we ever so young.

Why surreptitiously (she asked curiously)?

Live long and prosper. May the Force be with you.
Remember that the truth is out there ...
No matter where you go ... there you are ...
And he will find you ...
But in the end there can be only one.
Oh, boy.

Say hay all,
The Kids I used to teach Sunday school are now married or graduating college.
At a party, I was talking to a young un to find out she named her gorgeous
German Shepherd, Tessa for, yup our Tessa.
I been watching old tapes of the Highlander series and my kids asked,
"Still?" I said "Forever!"
I been looking for my "Band of Brothers" episode.
Duncan cried in "Studies of Light" when his old lover died. I thought that
made him more real to life and that real men CAN Cry.
Peace ~~~ Fred ~~~~

Hah. Whippersnappers. You kids don't know how good you have
it. Why, in *MY* day, we didn't have FOX network, and WB. All
we had were three networks and a couple of old/B movie channels,
and a PBS station or so, and we had to climb a hill and throw
rocks just to get those! And we didn't complain, either! All
the exercise that dads got pounding on the top of the TV to get
the vacuum tubes (hey, it was one up from gerbils) to jiggle so
you could see a 2x4" gray grainy picture. And the programming!
Doctor shows. Lawyer shows. Westerns. Sitcoms. Doctor shows.
Lawyer shows - well, you get the idea. <g>
So all through those years, syndicated TV was pushed off to the
junk channels, and the shows were generally "B" shows, when we
got them at all. In the late 80's, around when ST:TNG got going,
Fox started making faint bleating sounds about being the fourth
network. They started showing programs like - um - wasn't there
one about a wolf boy, and one about a werewolf? Max Headroom
even had a clip of future TV that showed ratings at the bottom of
the screen, and the three networks were CBS, NBC, and FOX. (ABC
was doing badly then)
So in '92, when HL came along, I thought it was one of those
cheap, slapped-together syndicated shows that are like soaps -
nobody ever really admits to watching them, but everyone knows
the plots. I was sharing a house with my sister at the time, and
long story, but I'd watch it surreptitiously. It moved to
another station, so I got cable just so I could get it.
I graduated from college (the longest BA in history<g>) in '92,
and was so burned out that I couldn't do much more than flip
channels for about a year. In '93, I started catching bits of
this show about a guy who carried a sword in - well - <deity>
knows where he kept it. One of the first scenes I saw was the
scene in BDIBA where he disappears from the room where he was
shot. I said "Yeah, right" and changed the channel. I kept
catching bits of it, though, and started switching over at about
9:50 to see the final fight and watch this guy twitch while being
hit with lightning bolts. Then I thought, What the He&&, and
threw anothe - er - and watched an episode. I think it was
Studies in Light. That was it.
It was quite a ride, wasn't it?
