Not sure I should but can't resist commenting on the clothing and demeanor that TPTB chose for Dr. Anne. Female physicians in my small corner of the world seem to wear clothes that the rest of us peons wouldn't dare - and nothing like what their male counterparts would. Like the doc who every winter, every day wears Pippi Longstockings socks - yes with red and white stripes. And the female cardiologist who makes sure everyone around knows her suits cost thousands and who scoffs at the nurse who mentioned how much she was struggling to send her child to parochial school for only $1500 per year, and the female family practice doc who after 5 years can't figure out how to get to the 3rd floor. I could go on . Point being, Anne grated but wasn't too far from reality, at least from this corner of the world.

Subject: Watcher Chronicles CD-ROM
I got my copy of the Watcher Chronicles CD-Rom today
(off Ebay)and I think I could've spent all evening on
it if my eyes hadn't gotten tired. It's a great
resource. I just have to watch out as it's
temprimental....likes to give me glitches sometimes. I
notice a few Immies, like the Kurgan, missing, and it
doesn't cover Endgame, but it does cover most
everything else.
Does anyone know if they're ever going to release the
rest of the novels? Just curious.
I've actually gotten quite a bit of HL stuff off
Ebay-not all of it here yet though.

Subject: Bruce Payne chews more scenery
Bruce Payne (Endgame's Kell) was on Fox's strange show "Keen Eddie" tonight,
as one of the baddies, of course--named Yellow, I think. He's got hair
again (not _good_ hair) & still whispers mostly. Because that's SO scary....
Lisa B. wasn't in tonight's ep, though, so no HL:EG reunion for them. ("I
REALLY miss Romania in the winter!" "What was that whole Holy Ground thing
about?" "Yeah--Adrian IS hot...." "What do you mean--HL5? No one could
want another movie from those loons!" )

Subject: Re: Legacy
Okay - it was late at night for me too. So let me clarify.
There's lots of slash material around which is based on many people's
wishes about the characters, their preffered genre of fiction or what they
see as scenes which might indicate such.
Mostly I think it's harmless projection or simple taste of fiction. My
comment was that this was one of the few ocassions where two characters of
the same sex were ever shown sharing a bed. It occurs to me that this was
the one time that Highlander showed anything ONSCREEN which might back-up
the notion of a same-sex relationship.
It would take someone connected with the show to officially go on the
record as to whether this was intended, inferred or not.
Simply makign an observation, not any sort of judgement or moral point.

Subject: Fantasy fodder for AP fans
>From an interview with Samantha Danson, stand-in for Rose McGowan on
Charmed:
Q - What have been some of the biggest highlights of working on Charmed?
SAM - ...when I photo-doubled Rose getting her back rubbed by Adrian
Paul of Highlander fame. OMG! She has a large tattoo on her back and
the make-up would have been smeared so they had me do it. I kept my
cool during the shot but had to confess that I'd had a crush on him
for like ten years! He gave me a signed photo afterwards. I still have
the picture of us taken on the set by one of the wardrobe girls.

Subject: Seacouver RepCo/was: Re: Bruce Payne chews more scenery
I was flipping channels a couple nights ago and came on the Stunt
Awards on - um - USA? There was an award for "best fight", and a
movie was mentioned with Nia Peeples (Neferteri). They showed
the stunt ppl, of course, but I believe there was a shot of her.
Does anyone know the movie, and was that really her? (It was a
movie that my grandma would have called "Shoot-bang").
ZK (did she speak Latin in the movie?)

I have a question. I know HLFIC-L is

something and I'm trying to figure out to which list.
Do challenges go to HLFIC-L? And anybody can post one
right?

Didn't notice her, but I can't remember all the films nominated.

Wasn't NP in Segal's last flick Half Past Dead? Haven't seen that
either (not an SS fan), but it would certainly fit grandma's
description. :)

And, I suspect that Amanda has had more sex OUT of beds than in them. A
scene of her & anyone else in a _kitchen_ could be "suspect."

Perhaps they were intentionally winding up certain fans. ("Ooh--they'll go
NUTS if we have A & R in the same bed!!!")

And what's the fun of that?

Subject: Counterfeit 1
I'm really anxious to see how this one plays out.
Question: How long has it been in HL time since the
events in 'Darkness'?
I've discussed this ep with some people who said they
didn't like Meilani Paul's acting. Overall though I
think it's a pretty good ep so far. That Horton sure
is a sneaky son of a gun, isn't he? I'll be glad to
see Mac get rid of him, though with Horton we can
never tell. He still might not stay dead LOL.
