- I don't think they would know from birth, because theoretically
- all of them would know from birth. I figure they learned from
- experience, much like MacCloud did. Ramirez guided MacCloud
- because he figured that by teaching him, he would stand a better
- chance than letting him learn by himself.

- You should be glad you never saw H2. I actually saw the american
- version on Showtime the other day, and it was a bit better than
- the European(?) version I saw on laserdisc. From what I read in
- Variety, Highlander III is a go, with Lambert signed on, I'm not
- sure about Russell Mulcahy. It's called (tenatively) Highlander
- III - The Vanishing. From the one-line description, it has
- something to do with MacCloud fighting a villian that can change
- shape. I have no idea if it will take place on Zeist, or if
- they'll just forget H2 ever happened.
