Hi, all.

Sorry about this, but I seem to have entered the Highlander discussion
too late. Could someone brief me (via direct email) on what network/

From what you've been saying, it sounds like Don B. is a real stickler for the
rules.

Unfortunately, I purchased the novel which completely messed up the body/mind
rule, which really surprised me.  I would have thought Belisario would have
really looked the book over before finally okaying it.  

Are the QL novels going to continue?  If there were better writers, and there
was better attention to detail, I'd probably buy them.

I'll admit there were some good parts to the novel, but I think the writer was
taking too much into her hands by developing the characters back at the
mountain.  I don't think Tina can be brilliant, but a ditz at the same time,
and what the heck happened to Donna? (Sam's wife?)

Who knows, maybe we're all just investigating this too closely.

An interesting theory has been proposed in private.  I hope Larne or Warren
(whichever one of them it was which proposed it;  sorry, guys) doesn't mind
my reiterating it here.
After "What Price, Gloria?" which was the first time Sam leaped into a
woman, the Project realized that this could be a potential problem with 
Al if he kept seeing Sam, his best friend, as a gogeous woman.  So they
started working on reprogramming the Imaging Chamber so that Al would see
Sam as Sam and verse vica with the leapee.  This reprogramming was probably
completed around the time of "Pool Hall Blues" since there's a mention made
during that episode that Al sees the leapee as themselves and Sam as Sam.
From that point on, it's been constant.

Agreed on the "speeded up" bit.  That bothered me and looked stupid.  I
hope that they don't repeat that.  And the one with the broadsword and
the one with the samurai sword  are going to have to different styles
anyway, so that, yes the broadsword would look slower.

I think everyone here probably has a slightly different interpretation of
their relationship.  Mine, based on interviews with Stockwell and Bakula
as well as what has been "revealed" in episodes and my own feelings, are
that they met just before Sam started Project Quantum Leap and that through
the course of working on it they became good friends.  Now that they've
been leaping through time for five years, their relationship has developed
almost to the point where Al sees Sam almost as a son and Sam sees Al as,
if not a father-figure, his only friend and the one person in time that
he can trust to be there for him and confide in.  They do have a relationship
that you don't see much on television, and it really helps that the actors
have such good chemistry together.

Of course, these opinions are entirely my own.

Keep leaping...  :)

Well, it did make for a great scene when Sam stood up -- I'd chalk
it up to dramatic license.

For a real-world explanation [what, she's gonna bring logic into a QL
discussion?? ;-)], I can only say that Tommy Thompson broke his neck
in a car accident when he was 15, spent over a year in rehab
hospitals, and his roomies were Vietnam vets. The man knows whereof he
writes, from personal experience. 

[Personal aside -- Tommy is one of the least "disabled" disabled
people I know (myself included), if you see what I mean. Great guy.]

I don't know if I know all the answers, but I'll give it a shot:

1. Medicine ("Genesis")
2. Quantum Physics ("Genesis")
3. Ancient Languages ("Star-Crossed")
4. Egyptology (I forget the name of the ep, but the one where he's in Egypt
   digging up that mummy's tomb)
5. Music ("Blind Faith")

That's all I have.  BTW, in "Genesis", Al tells Sam that he holds six
degrees, not seven.  Did that change over the course of the show? (wouldn't
be the first time they changed personal info about the characters :) )

Keep leaping...--

IMHO, you missed this one by a mile.  This is speculative, of course, but
it seemed clear to us that the "Old Ones" Duncan referred to were the
Indian leaders who "owned" the land; i.e, he asked permission from the
religious leaders before taking up residence near their shrine.  I don't
recall any such reference from the movie.  I do recall Conner asking
why they're fighting and Ramirez saying something like "Why does the sun
come up, or are the stars just pinholes in the curtain of night?"  In 
other words, "Don't ask!".

Agreed...but I liked the original poster's theory.  In the Euro-version
of the movie, Fazeel(sp?) - Conner's first kill - had considerable 
acrobatic skill.  If I remember correctly, he went head over heels 
through a long stretch of the parking lot.  We always thought it would've
been clever to give Conner similar abilities later in the movie.  It 
would have been a simple way to show the accumulation of the other immortals'
skills.

>a very bad American accent.  :-)

Okay, I'll accept that.  I suppose I should have to, since, in the
Highlander movie (the REAL Highlander), Connor's accent in 1985 didn't
vaguely resemble his accent from 1536.

I STILL think the show sucked big time, though.
