Well, I didn't interpret it that way.  I figured he leaped because he
saved Abigail.  He doesn't always leap *right* after doing whatever --
there is usually a little delay -- sometimes long enough for him to
do some secondary thing (like finally guessing "Buddy"s name, or
punching out Buddy Wright [whoops!  What a coincidence -- I was *not*
referring to the same "Buddy"s of course]) -- and sometimes only a few
seconds.  Depends, I guess on how long it takes the timelines to sort
themselves out and snap into place.  In this case, he just didn't
have time to get out of the window.

Stuff about how Duncan loses immortality for attacking the Kurgen in a

I would just like to make two comments about this:

1) Yes it is to campy, way to campy, it would be better if the 
   Kurgen were to kill Duncan and take on all of his skills which
   Connor himself would have to face.

2) The idea itself works even less than Highlander II because Duncan
   already knows about Holy ground.  In the premier episode it was illuded
   to that Duncan built a home on holy ground with the permission of some
   Indian elders in order to escape the fighting.  It is hinted that his
   wife/love at that time was killed due to some fight he was invovled in.
   Duncan would never attack the Kurgen in a cathedral because of the shear
   fact that he used Holy ground as a temporary way out of the game.

Yep.  This was the changeover point.  More specifically, before St. John
appears, Ziggy is referred to -- as he always had been -- as a "he".
Then Sam changes history, St. John appears, and the computer isn't even
called "Ziggy" anymore.  After Sam changes things so that Al comes back,
there is one difference:  Ziggy is now referred to as a "she", and has been

it was "she")

  What?! Actually, this sounds one hell of an improvement over the plan
  given to us by Panzer the Pillock in Starlog recently.
  It is stretching continuity beyond the limits of acceptability BUT as
  furthering the highlander mythology, what the hell.

I think they do -- in "Good Morning Peoria" some electical interference
causes a blue glow around Al's image.  This shot used to be in the opening

something like...

I think it is Seattle, because I remember seeing the Space Needle in an
episode.  Sorry I don't know which one.  But my husband and I argued over
whether it was the Space Needle or not in the backround because I thought
it was supposed to take place in NYC.  (but I'm probably thinking of the
first movie and assuming it to be NYC)  I'll have to go back through my
tapes, but my husband was postitive it was the Space Needle.

Wonderful! I think that ST:TNG's biggest flaw has been a constant drift back to

It doesn't follow the book, true. It should be viewed as a distant cousin,
really. It comes off better that way. And it wasn't an American film, it
was produced by Phillip Yordan at Shepperton Studios in England. The only
American on the acting list was Howard Keel.

NOTE:  This is not a spoiler, it is a speculation.  Please don't flame
me for posting spoilers, because this came out of my imagination.  I do
not have access to scripts, or anything that would give prior knowledge.

There, now that the disclaimer is written:

What if... Mrs. Haider killed both Violet and her husband?  That would
explain why she's so hot to blame Abigail, in order to shift blame away
from herself.  As for why Abigail is odd... well, you might be a little
odd too if your mom was in an insane asylum, and people thought you were
a killer.  You might even feel a little guilty, because you did wish the
person who later turned up dead WAS dead. (I know, that's confusing syntax,
sorry)  Her need for reassurance ("Tell me the ways you love me, daddy.") 
would seem more normal in that light.  As far as mom's catatonia, perhaps
she witnessed Mrs. Haider killing Violet, and the events were so similar
to her own trauma that they sent her over the edge.
Anyone else care to speculate along these lines?

Maybe in your area, but *certainly* not in mine.  USA dropped QL

That's odd.  When they showed it here, it was in 3 parts, the standard
BBC 50 minutes long.  Or so.

But yes, it was a very good adaption of an excellent book.
I wonder if anyone would consider doing Wyndham's "Trouble With Lichen".
Or even "The Chrysalids".  Among my favourites by him!
