Subject: Turnabout
I really enjoyed this one and not just because GWD was
in it....really felt for Mac having to kill his friend
to stop the evil. And the ending was nice...all that
splitting in half to show something related to the
duality....im not really clear though. Could someone
explain it to me a bit more?
And of course we get shirtless Mac...yummmmmm

Musetta Vander played Immie Ingrid Henning in The Valkyrie. But--we have no
reason to think she & DM were ever lovers. (Aside from the fact he is DM &
she had a pulse....) The FB sequences looked a bit tense for casual romps;
all references were to "old friends."
No, w/ the woman I mean (an Immie by the way), there's absolutely no doubt
they were lovers--we saw it onscreen.
Nina (&, oddly enough, we also saw this woman make love to someone else)

I guess if no one else is going to answer this one, I will. Nefertiri.

Well, that IS enough reason...
Right, Musetta Vander. I should have remembered that, since she is
South African.

Oh, Nefertiri. I hope!

> Were the Watchers right to "observe & never
interfere"?
I'm honestly not sure about them being right
(especially with some of the more disturbing creeps
we've seen on the show and in the films), but that
stance is at least understandable. If Even one
resourceful Immortal, never mind several, manage to
clue in to the existance of The Watchers, then (as
Jack very aptly pointed out in season four/five) there
is a very real and very dangerous risk that the agents
themselves would be hunted down and eliminated.
In another field, there's the issue of something like
a "Prime Directive" for want of a better term. Who
knows how The Game would be misdirected if The
Watchers tampered with things? Even the most
well-intentioned interference can be potentially
disastrous (frankly it's a minor miracle that the
s***'s only hit the fan so much up to this point).
> Was Darius more/less right than the Watchers?
Again, morality is grey, but it's at least
understandable why he would do this. I'll admit I
don't know a lot about Darius (having only seen a
fraction of season 1), but since I am aware that he
used to be a far more sinister person until sometime
before Duncan met him, I would think that he didn't
interfere because he not only wanted to avoid the
bloodshed of his past, but since he'd become a
Catholic priest by then (which includes a certain
degree of neutrality by itself) he may have been
desperate to stay to the codes of that organization as
a kind of redemption (at least in his own mind if not
in reality). Let's open this to the floor and see
what happens.

Bingo! Give the lovely lady a shiny new flagpole.

Subject: Too used to Highlander
I have just finished watching all 8 episodes of
the TV show Kindred The Embraced. This was a
show about vampires based on the White Wolf RPG
Vampire The Masquerade. There were several
beheadings in this show. One by katana and I
think all of the rest were by kukri. I kept
waiting for the Quicking to come of the bodies.
I guess I am just too used to Highlander. Sigh.
Jason
P.S. But you do get to see the headless bodies.
