Does anyone out there have a taped copy of the episode that features
the character of the famous German Dr. Schweitzer (?sp?) ?

I recall the doctor making a small speech about pain and/or helping
a fellow human being.  I'd like those words.

Any help is appreciated and thanx in advance, fellow netters.

There is a newer version of this guide than the one Kathryn was working
with.  I got it via anonymous ftp from node ftp.coe.montana.edu in
directory pub/TV/Guides/blakes7 (although at the moment they seem to be
having some trouble at that site).  It fixes the problem Jeff mentioned
and contains running time for all episodes (courtesy of Mike Brown).

Just some more thoughts:- The Old Ones.  A couple people had the idea that these were some
kind of organizaing/judging council of the Immortal's journey to the
Gathering.  Others said they were the tribal elders who gave Duncan
permission to live on the land.  I think that everybody missed this
one:  The Old Ones are the spirits of the land and of the tribe who
have died.  What Duncan did was either do the proper ritual to get
permission to live there, or he actually "spoke" with these spirits.
(I haven't decided which version I like best!)
 
   - Additive powers(the Immortals absorbing their opponent's power):
The Immortals can obviously absorb an incredibly amount of this power,
but it takes that final battle, when there is only one, for that power
to take on the form of the Prize.  Also, Ramirez was ancient, but he
may not have killed as many Immortals as others.  Remember the display
when Castigir got killed: At such a late date, with so few reamining,
he had obviously absorbed much more power than Ramirez ever had.
 
   - as to Duncan called the battles and jockeying that leads up to
the Prize, the Game, I take it that is his sense of humor at work.
He's being sarcastic about it, trivializing it.

	Well since you didn't mention it, Christine was first and foremost
a novel by King.  It was made into a movie, of course.  Well it was probably
just a dream, dreams can often work in strange backwards ways like that.

If you can handle the occasional leap-in-to-rerun, why can't you handle
that?  Indeed, if he recapped for the audience what happened in the
previous leap in the new leap, you'd have less time for the new leap,
and you'd mess up the transitions between eps during reruns.

Also keep in mind that he's been doing this for awhile.  He has shown
that at times he can sense a leap is coming, and so it wouldn't take
much to think that he has learned to forget what he was thinking and
prepare himself for another new situation at such times.

Or you can reason that he gets a bit swisscheesed between leaps, and
enough of the leapee's mind gets retained to keep him in sync with the
leapee's biological clock.

And He could swim when he was a chimp (of course I have not seen

Frankly I was expecting Sam to do what he did - 
BTW even Al pointed out early in the show that it would look
very strange for him to be walking around.

No what they are saying since Bush's deal with Clinton allows each
candidate to scrub any name off the journalist list they will not
allow their people to serve as panelists.

BTW Perot's first political show got Higher Ratings than QL according
to latest Nelson Ratings;  of course I have heard that the Nelson
raters contain a disproportionite number of journalists :)

alt.tv.* groups and rec.arts.tv.* groups are not the same. I would be more
than happy to see an alt.tv.quantum-leap group or LISTSERV mailing list,
but I'll oppose a QL group in the rec.arts.* hierarchy.

This bothered me too, but for a somewhat different reason.
I didn't think this guy would have been so _mean_.  Even though
some of them were paraplegics (and relativle helpless), not all were.
Even from a wheelchair you could strangle the guy!  Especially if you
have been in the wheelchair a while (serious biceps..).

Top it off with the fact that these guys just came back from a hellish
place where there job was to *kill* people (who were trying to kill them).
I can't imagine them being too cowed by that orderly.

Lastly, I would hope that the military folks running the hospital
would have been rather irate to hear the way this guy talked to and
about the guys who just lost limbs fighting for their country...

But, don't forget this is a _minor_ point.  A *great* episode all in all.

BTW: I would swear that the washing machine in the background when Sam
confronts Billy at the pool had an "Energy Efficiency" label on it.
In 1968 we didn't need no stinken' energy efficiency... ;-)
And thus, no labeling!

Ok here goes.  I hope this is the dialogue you were looking for.


 
			   Dr. Schweitzer
It was on this very river, on a trip such as this, that my thoughts drifted
into a contemplation so deep, that I sank into my own heart and mind.
And in that harmony of thought there left unbidden into my mind a phrase,
"reverence for life".  Everything I am or ever shall be stems from it and
leads back to it.
			      
			        Indy
But what does it mean?

			    Dr. Schweitzer
You value your life?  You want to continue to live?
 
				 Indy
Of course.

			     Dr. Schweitzer
This is the most fundamental trait of awareness, one you share in commen with
all living creatures, the desire for further life.  The thinking man looks
into his heart and recognizes this truth, I am life that wills to live in
the midst of life that wills to live.  Look around you, soldier, life is
everywhere.  It creeps.  It flies.  It writes symphonies, and it builds
cathedrals.  But most of all, it wills to live, and go on living.  The 
thinking man gives every life the same reverance that he gives his own.

      				 Indy
But sometimes taking life is inevitable.  To eat, I have to hunt.  To survive
a leapord's attack, I have to shoot it.

			       Dr. Schweitzer
If you want guidelines, you've come to the wrong place.  Reverance is a 
state of mind, not a set of rules.  All it requires is that everything
be done in deep awareness.  Good is whatever promotes life.  Evil is
whatever destroys it.  From there you make you own decisions.

________________________________________________________________________

I hope that what you were looking for is in there.  This was the scene
between Indy and Schweitzer on the boat as they return from helping the
chief's son, up the river.  If that isn't what you were looking for, let
me know and I'll put up one of the other speeches.

Yea, I was hoping Sam would kick the guy, too, but I guess that 
would have been overkill. (Kicking is a much harder blow)
Really the only way to justify a kick would have been if the episode
had played up the character's supposed helplessness more than it
did. ("Hey man, you ain't never gonna walk again; you ain't

(As an ex-fencer) I thought all the sword fighting was pretty silly...

If either of them had done that "cute" little spin move against me...they'd
be DEAD!  You never take your weapon out of line.  The fights in the first
movie were *much* more dynamic (Tho just as unrealistic) but I think this was
due to better camera work...

Moll's sword looked *really* silly, and I was hoping Duncan would use another
type of blade than a katana.  I really liked that rapier used my Conner's
opponent in the beginning of _Highlander_.  And there were some very nice
swords in Duncan's cases in his store.

Plus I don't think any of these immortals would be using ancient swords (I
know...it's only a story) They'd be dull as a butter knife over time.  Sure,
they showed Duncan sharpening his sword before the final fight, but can you
imagine what this would do to metal over *thousands* of years?  He'd be
fighting with a tooth-pick sized blade!  :^)

I'm sure modern technology could develop a much sharper sword, out of an alloy,
rather than using "museum pieces".  And I know they mentioned Japanses masters 
"folding the metal 500 times" in the movie, but chopping through vertebra
really dulls a blade!

and England...From this night on I'll use every means in my power to fight you!
