Killing Time was a good episode, but so was Temptation Eyes!

Didn't we already do a survey like this recently?

I've installed an ftpmail server at hyperion.com.  You can use it to get to

Since this is a dedicated server, it should give you much better turnaround

I also thought TT showed a decent vision of the technology in general
use 200 years in the future.  One thing that bothered me though...early
in the show, it is said that caucasians are now a minority.  Other than
the riot scene, most people seemed to be pretty WASPy.  Did anyone
else find themselves bothered by this incongruity?

The series waslled Black Jack Savage and ran about 8 episodes.  Th Ite
starred Daniel Hugh Kelly (from Hardcastle and McCormick) and Steven
Williams as the ghost (Black Jack Savage).  The idea was that they had
to save a total of one hundred lives for Black Jack to move on and for
Barry Tarberry to not go to hell (because his business dealing shady).

You know, I'm really mad at the Sci-Fi channel for cutting out part of the
Space: 1999 intro (1st season).  I wouldn't think that they would do that.
I thought they would have chopped the episodes (perhaps they have, I can't
remember everything the first time around).  But I DO remember a falling
Eagle, which then exploded.  This is not present anymore.  I thought USA
chopping into QL was bad, but this takes it, for me.

One of the comments on leaping out and leaping in reminded me of the one
area in the show that really hasn't been resolved or explored in all the
seasons I've watched: what happens to the person that leaps back into
him/herself following Sam's leap out?

One episode that came close was when Sam played two gangsters in the same
episode and he leaped from one to the other, but that really didn't
approach the persons experiences when they came back to themselves.

Certainly, they have to have had some memory shock from the experience;
especially when they've spent some time in the waiting room before they
return.  Will it all seem like a bad dream to them?  And will they have
some memory of what happened due to the "swiss cheese" effect?

I would like to see an episode some time that works on this rather than
just having Sam leap out as the plot close-out.

Subject: HIGHLANDER: Richard Moll's comments
Organization: Purdue University
Distribution: na
Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1993 09:33:59 GMT

In the March (#188) issue of Starlog, the following exerpt
from an interview with Richard Moll:

	Moll enjoyed the fact that his character
was a preening egotist in love with his own
image. "The first time you see my character,
he's sitting in his car, waiting for this
woman to show up whom he's going to
terrorize later. He looks in the rearview
mirror and is primping his hair, checking
himself out. The director said, 'Oh, go
ahead--blow a kiss to the mirror.' which I did."
	On working with guest star (and star of
the two HIGHLANDER films) Christopher Lambert
and series headliner Adrian (War of the Worlds)
Paul, Moll offers, "They were both
interesting chaps. Christopher knows his
stuff, inside and out. He's a pro. So is
Adrian. Adrian was very much into the
swordfighting. He had all his stances
together, and incorporated a lot of Oriental
moves into his swordfighting. He was into it
100 percent; he was all excited because it
was his first episode. He'll do well."
	Overall, the experience was "kind of fun.
I had to brush up on my swordfighting. I've
had some stage combat, which helped. I
worked [on the fight choreography] with a
gentleman named Bob Anderson, and old
Englishman who has been swordmaster to
many different people--Errol Flynn and
people like that. He had great stories about the 
old days. I did some of my own swordfighting, and some was done
by my double, Ken Kirzinger. He was a good guy;
we hung out together."
	Since his character was beheaded at the
story's end, chances are slim that Moll will
appear on the show again, although the actor
has an idea as to how he could return.
	"I've been saying I think Slan should
have an evil twin brother that nobody
knows, and he hits the vengeance trail for 13
out of 22 [episodes]. So, I'm trying to talk
the producers into that. We'll see!"

Oh come on... when did they ever want Blake and company alive? They only
let them live (at the time) to have ORAC and their old ship (BTW, what
happened to the Liberator? I never saw the episode where they switched
ships.) I think it was left to be understood that the bad guys won, and

It reminded me of Quantum Leap -Al and Ziggy- and a little of Voyagers!
replete with the "manual", the smart sidekick, and setting things right.
I didn't catch the Terminator part when I was watching it but looking
back I can understand the (vague) similiarity.  I thought the show was
rather boring to start out, but it picked up when Darien went back to
1993.  Anyone remember Time Tunnel?  How does it compare with this?

The answer to the parallel universe question.  They aren't 
communicating with the same universe.  They are communicating
with the one that was generated by the events that are in motion
in the past that Darien is in.  That one will pull the criminals
back and that will also change the future.  Thats the reason I
could think of that would make sense.  This of course brings
abut two points, there has to be one criminal that remains or 
that Darien has to send himself back with the criminal.  We could
conclude that the criminals are succesful, but perhaps Dr Szomoa
(or whatever it is) put into motion a way of contacting his 
future self that will live in the parallel universe generated by
his actions.  All we need is that the future Darien will find out
about this and that he will send himself back to stop the 
criminals plan.  Of course he will find a way of saving Alyssa
when he goes back.

Another fan chiming in...

The show was excellent, overall.  The computer animation was very good,
especially for the time.  Are you currently in "the biz" and working on
anything interesting?

The promotion strategy for the show was truly tragic, since it seemed to be
solely as a marketing ploy by Mattel for the interactive toys.  Such a waste
of good writing.  So many people wrote it off as a "kid's show," myself
included.  I've still only seen about half the shows (mostly the last half).

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the affair were still on...At
any rate, however, Tina just doesn't impress me. Now, I'm wondering
how the final scene between Dr. Ruth and Al was intended. Did the
writer seriously think that Al admitting that he loved Tina would
be a good thing? (If the question sounds pretentious, it's not
meant to be.) Considering that all we've been shown of Tina is that
she's something of a vacuous, giggling bimbo-type, were we really
supposed to react happily to this new development? 

Hmm.
