True, but he's lived for over 800 years and we've really only seen a few
snapshots of that life. Could be that he trusted one or a few adult
Immortals who turned on him. Could also be that one of his "guardians" was
killed by a stronger Immortal and made Kenny feel that any attachment made
to another Immortal was doomed one way or another.
Unlike many people, I really, really like the Kenny character. There is
certainly an underlying evil that is probably more pronounced precisely
because of its deceptiveness, but I would find it so interesting to explore
how he got there. Undoubtedly there have been other child Immortals (the
episode name does not come to mind, but I believe it was a Duncan flashback
to the civil war) but by the way Joe describes him, he's pretty unique in
that he has managed to survive for such a long time and has managed to
outwit all of his potential enemies so far.

Today he would probably, with difficulty, be able to pass himself off as an
adult with a rare genetic condition. No doubt he could gain a set of false
identification and have a legitimate bank account for racketeering
purposes. I'm sure he knows how to drive if he can gain access to a car.

I remember Adrian Paul saying something like that once. To paraphrase
Terry Jones in the Whizzo's Candies skit, "Our ratings would plummet!"
And Pat Lawson added:

It's been awhile since I've seen Kenny on screen, so bear with me if my
memory is good but short. I seem to recall that Kenny only acted as a
child when it suited the deception. I always pictured Kenny as an 800-year
old man trapped in the shell of a boy's body trying to make the best of the
situation (evil, deceptive, but in his eyes he was doing what he had to
do). Whenever I saw Kenny away from outside influences, I saw the
calculating look in his eyes, and considering the actor was around 10 years
old at the time, he did an excellent job portraying that malevolence. If
there was any unintentional childlike behaviour, I attributed it to the
challenge of a 10 year old actor trying to play the part.

I'm working from a faded memory, too, but I seem to recall a scene where he
acted quite childish. I think he was at a park with someone (his
dad/protector maybe?) and he was playing with another child and got into a
scrap. It was a childish thing like the kid didn't do something Kenny
wanted him to do, or the kid was playing with something that Kenny wanted.
Like I said.. short memory. But I do recall him exhibiting quite childish
behavior in that scene. Does anyone recall the scene I'm talking about?
And I agree that Myles' acting of that role was superb.

Yes, now that you mention it, I seem to recall a scene like that
also. It's impossible to say whether such behaviour is a side-effect of
becoming Immortal as a child and retaining the vestiges of child-like
behaviour, or whether Kenny was suffering from a mental illness such as
schizophrenia from the stress of trying to play a complex, deceptive "Game"
for centuries. I would imagine that his strength of will would be
phenomenal to be able to survive so long under such conditions.
>And I agree that Myles' acting of that role was superb.
Thanks again for the memory jog. The name Myles Ferguson just popped into

It's this ep. So is the Civil War flashback scene.
Sean, the drummer boy, got whacked while Mac was
trying to help some slaves. There must've been another
Immie around somewhere that Mac wasn't close enough to
sense.

I think he was having fun. I like the blooper where he
forgot his lines during the scene where he was telling
Mac his parents took him somewhere, and Adrian said
"you can't remember where they took you?" and he said
"to a gay bar." LOL. I didn't know that he died for
real later on.
>
I agree with a lot of the points that have been
brought up...that genetic problem thing never even
entered my mind. Shows how much I think LOL.
I still think some of the stuff was Amanda's
influence....the book says she "taught him to survive
by his wits and his sword".....we know she was doing
that for quite a while...the wits part even before she
became an Immie. Must've been a combo of that and a
lot of other stuff he picked up along the way.

I'd totally forgotten, but Siberry WAS in The Rogue--not as Amanda's hubby
(like THAT could ever happen...) but as Frank, the Immie baddie Nick shot in
a (cheesy) Central Park FB to save Bert's life... That was the ep w/ Lysette
Anthony (who also co-starred w/ AP in the Dark Shadows remake) in it as the
passe screamer queen. And, Amanda slugged Brennan inside a church, so Holy
Ground took a beating there (as did credulity...). Siberry was one of the
better HL:TS casting retreads in Raven, actually--w/ Phil Akin as
Not-Charlie the worst.

Nope--he had just 3 roles (of course, he had the bad luck to die fairly
early on, so...). A female had 4 speaking roles--Lisa Butler was Kenny's
mother in Reunion, Amanda's friend Melissa in The Colonel, Genevieve in
Haunted, & Jillian O'Hara in Not to Be. F. Braun McAsh also had 4 roles,
but only 2 were speaking (hooded demon in Shadows, derelict in Blind Faith,
innkeeper in Through a Galss Darkly, & Hans Kerschner in Modern Prometheus.)

But the 10 British pounds is for VHS tapes. The British format of the DVDs
actually looks more expensive. Series 1, Series 2, and Series 3 (2 parts) are
30 pounds each (okay, 29.99) = 120. Unless I'm looking at it totally wrong,
I think we would get a deal with the Region 1 version..
Still thinking, though

I think he acted like a child when it suited him. And never really
having had a mentor in 800 years (he was only with Amanda for one
year, I think), I think he probably missed a lot of social niceties.
I doubt he even bothered to hang around with children much, so when
he did he acted nasty. Also, yes, he was an adult in a kid's body
but when people *treat* someone like a child they often end up
acting like one. So that could also be a factor.
I saw Myles Ferguson on "The Outer Limits" last week (the one with
the alien criminal who crashes on Earth - Stranded, I think it was)
and boy, he really looked different, especially without the Kenny
hairstyle. I liked him as an actor and I'm still sad that he died.

Now, now..everyone has a choice. Perhaps not a *good* choice, but a choice nonetheless <g>

As someone else said (Greg?) we don't know how many times he trusted someone only to be betrayed or trusted someone only to be left behind when that person was killed (think of poor Mickey when his protector was killed). After 800 years, he probably decided that taking action first was better than waiting until the sword fell.
OTOH, you can't discount the fact that he seemed to be enjoying the Game. He had turned a disadvantage into a great advantage. If a Quickening is a pleasurable experience (and at least some Immortals seemed to suggest it was) then why shouldn't Kenny want more? And, imagine the bitterness of being 10 forever? As Kenny himself said- he's always dependant, always too "young" to do most of the things that give long life its pleasurable moments. Even if we assume that his mind does not mature any past the physical age of ten, he was (is) old enough to think about sex, old enough to have ambitions beyond the playground, old enough top know that adults have richer lives than children. 800 years of life experienced from the "outside" that could make anyone testy.
> I see
>some of Amanda's influence....can anyone else? We know
>she was an expert at survival by wits.
Even in the relatively short time they were together, Amanda passed on the essential bit of advise for Kenny's survival- use what you have. If you can't be bigger, use your smaller size as an advantage. If you can't be stronger, be smarter.

If he was exceedingly clever, he could arrange his life to have houses, bank accounts, etc. All he would need to do was find a pliable attorney and pay him to set up trust funds and bank accounts, buy property, etc all with the false premise that Kenny did have adult supervision that was elsewhere. In a large city, if Kenny was careful, he could live alone and unbothered by authorities so long as the bills were paid and he stayed out of trouble that drew attention to himself. If needed, he could always pay someone to play the part of doting uncle or caring benefactor.

Killing children on TV is always iffy. They can be murder victims if the killer is caught and punished. They can't be killed by the good guy - even if they deserve it. It's pretty hypocritical- TV viewers will watch children being abused, victims of rape or torture or watch them gunned down by drug dealers - just so long as the cops catch the bad guys in the end. They won't watch a show where an evil "kid" gets what's coming to him in the context of the series universe. Don't ask me to make sense of that.

Cross of St. Antoine
This bit of dialogue was filmed at the end of the cooking crepes scene, but didn't make it into either version. I'm putting it in because it gives meaning to MacLeod's later line when he says "I asked you to keep Joe out of this."
AMANDA
(re the stew)
And he cooks too...
Amanda kisses him lightly on the lips.
AMANDA
Maybe somebody whacked him.
(beat)
It's been known to happen.
MACLEOD
Maybe.
AMANDA
Doesn't your friend Joe have a Who's Who on Immortals.
MACLEOD
Let's leave Joe out of this.
This is the end of the scene where Joe is drowning his sorrows in the bar with Amanda.
DAWSON
The cops'll never find him. They need things like motives and
witnesses.
(beat)
She wasn't robbed. She wasn't raped. Someone just opened the
door and killed her.
Dawson pours himself four fingers.
AMANDA
I've lived a long time, Joe. What goes around comes around.
DAWSON
You really believe that's true?
AMANDA
I believe it should be.
(off Joe's half-smile)
So, those records you keep on us. How accurate are they really?
And off his look --
This comes at the end of the scene where Amanda was cutting flowers in the Loft.
AMANDA
Since when do I do everything you ask?
(beat)
C'mon Mac. Somebody he loved has been killed. He wants to do
something about it. You know how that feels.
The telephone rings. MacLeod answers it.
MACLEOD
(into phone)
MacLeod... Yes, I'm still interested. Where?... That's fine.
MacLeod turns to Amanda.
MACLEOD
That was the curator. Thorne's agreed to meet me... He's sending
a car.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. CATHEDRAL - DAY
A Limo is already parked, waiting, as another Limo pulls up. Two men, well trained BODYGUARDS, cover the front and rear of the Limo. These men are very skilled and practiced professionals. A DRIVER opens the door of the Limo and
MacLeod steps out. MacLeod feels the BUZZ.
DRIVER
Mr. Thorne is waiting inside.
MACLEOD
You don't say.
This scene is just before the "Practice makes perfect" scene practicing with the rigging in the Dojo.
INT. DOJO - DAY (E)
MacLeod and Amanda are returning at the same time. She's laden with packages; he hastily grabs the door to let her in.
MACLEOD
Do you really need all this stuff?
AMANDA
Tools of the trade.
He opens one of the packages. A lot of hardware. Grappling hooks, pulleys, suction cups, a glass cutter. He picks up a couple of mysterious-looking electronic devices.
MACLEOD
Remember when all you had was two lock picks and a crowbar?
AMANDA
You've got a lot to learn. The surveillance cameras and the
alarms are triggered by laser beams.
MACLEOD
(impressed)
Where do we start?
Amanda takes the devices from his hand, hands him a harness.
AMANDA
With this.
This whole section takes place at the beginning of Act 4:
INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT (E)
Thorne is ready to leave.
THORNE
Time to go, Mr. Dawson.
DAWSON
Drop dead.
(beat)
You won't get away with this.
He gestures to the Bodyguard. Dawson doesn't exactly have a choice.
THORNE
You think not?
(beat)
I'm a well-known man in this town, Mr. Dawson. I doubt you'll be
believed.
DAWSON
It's not the police you'll have to worry about.
THORNE
You mean MacLeod.
(beat)
He'll try.
(cryptic, he thinks)
Combat is for barbarians. A civilized man protects himself.
DAWSON
(disgusted)
You're not civilized, Thorne. You're a barbarian in a better
suit.
Thorne gives him a look -- Does Dawson know something? Dawson meets his gaze squarely, giving nothing away.
INT. MACLEOD'S LOFT - NIGHT (E)
MacLeod and Amanda are up and dressed.
AMANDA
Do you think Thorne'll do what he said? Trade Dawson for the stuff?
MACLEOD
He's not after my head, or anyone's-- he wants what's his.
AMANDA
(fondling one of the pieces)
I guess the son-of-a-bitch wins this round. We just give the stuff
back and walk.
No answer. She reacts to MacLeod's dark look.
AMANDA
I said, we have to give the stuff back, right?
(beat)
Hello, MacLeod?
(beat; not sure she's going to like this)
What are you thinking?
Off his brooding expression --
EXT. CATHEDRAL - ALLEY - NIGHT
Thorne's car pulls up in the alley. Thorne and Dawson get out. The Driver and the Bodyguard follow.
INT. CATHEDRAL CORRIDOR - NIGHT
Thorne gets the BUZZ. His eyes go to the door of the holy building.
THORNE
(quiet)
Good.
(to the Driver and Bodyguard)
It's all right, I'll be perfectly safe. Wait outside.
(to Dawson)
After you.
He ushers Dawson into the church.
This bit of extraneous butt-kicking takes place in the middle of the scene in the church, right before Dawson (trying to protect Amanda from discovery, although that's not real clear in the final cut) threatens to beat up Thorne's treasures.
THORNE
I can feel you.
EXT. CATHEDRAL - ALLEY - NIGHT
The Driver and Bodyguard lean on Thorne's car, smoking and jawing.
MACLEOD
crouched low, sneaks along behind the car, out of their sight.
He chooses his moment, then springs over the hood of the car, catching the Bodyguard in the back, driving him to the pavement.
NEW ANGLE
He rolls him over and delivers a hard right to the jaw that takes the man out.
ON THE CAR
The Driver has the door open and is prone across the front seat, scrambling in the glove box for a gun.
MACLEOD
grabs him by the ankles and hauls him out of the car. The Driver tries to bring the gun around to bear; MacLeod kicks it out of his hand and, holding the Driver down, reaches into the open car door and pops the trunk.

Rite of Passage
There are really only two full scenes that are additional. To fill the rest of the time, there are a couple of bits without dialogue -- long look at the funeral, Michelle's walk down the gangplank to Axel's boat which seems like it takes 5 minutes, etc.
INT. HOSPITAL - MORGUE - DAY
A MORGUE ATTENDANT opens a drawer. MacLeod shakes his head after looking inside. Another drawer opens. MacLeod shakes his head.
The CAMERA pulls back to reveal Anne in the doorway, watching. MacLeod moves toward Anne.
ANNE
How come you got this job?
MACLEOD
(self-deprecating) Guess I'm a glutton for punishment.
ANNE
That makes two of us. (beat) Maybe you're just a helluva friend.
As they share a look together --
Then there's the scene where Michelle gets the BUZZ. There's no extra dialogue, she just goes to the window, opens it, and watches Axel in the alley.
At the beginning of Michelle's "burial" we stay on the family and Duncan (what, this girl had no friends?) a good long time while the minister says a prayer that was actually added in Post Production, so we don't have the words.
This next bit comes at the beginning of the second set of flashback scenes, after the transition from the rear view mirror.
INT. GILDED SALOON - SHARON'S ROOM - BOSTON - 1896 - DAY
Sharon's hand grips Axel's arm desperately. He's holding his sword to her neck. She's frozen. Terrified. He's tight with anger.
AXEL
You were supposed to seduce him. You were supposed to bring him here
and put a smile on his face.
SHARON
Don't hurt me, Axel. Please.
AXEL
You were supposed to separate him from his sword and leave the rest
to me.
SHARON
I'm sorry...
AXEL
I'm trying to protect you, Sharon. If I don't take his head, he will gladly take ours. (beat; hard) Is that understood?
She manages a nod. Axel's face softens at her fear.
AXEL (cont'd)
Beautiful Sharon... I'm lost without you... Once so innocent... (beat)
So lovely.
He kisses her tenderly, and...
INT. GILDED SALOON - BOSTON - 1896 - LATER THAT DAY
MacLeod enters and feels the BUZZ. Sharon approaches.
