- From what I understand, the series takes place in the middle of
- the first movie (although I believe _Starlog_ says that it takes place
- between the first and second movie--but this doesn't quite make sense
- unless one says that maybe Conner becomes immortal again after Duncan is
- born...), although this means that Conner will win, since that occurs
- after this...I'm not quite sure I like that idea.....:-)
- _The Gathering_ (which is the pilot, and I gather you haven't seen)
- says that Conner trained Duncan. I think they both have their own swords, with
- Conner's sword being Ramirez's sword. Their swords look similar, except
- that I think that Conner has a "whiteish" hilt, and Duncan seems to have a
- "goldish" hilt. The blades look the same to me...
- As to other female immortals...I don't know, I've seen all of
- the episodes and as far as I know, she's the only one so far...although
- I think Starlog said that Immortals came in all ages, sexes, etc...
-
- >If Duncan was not born a MacLeod, but adopted, is this a hint that all
- >the immortals were?
-
- Couldn't tell you! :-) That may have been said to leave open the
- idea that Immortals were not orginally from the planet Earth, as presented
- in the second movie, although why anyone would want to retain _anything_
- from the second movie is beyond me....:-)
- The show is filmed in Vancouver, and Starlog says that it is
- set it "some American city", but I think that Seattle would be a good
- guess, since on a public telephone in "Deadly Medicine", it looks like
- it has an ATT West sign on it....Tessa certainly _sounds_ French Canadian,
- but your guess is as good as mine....
- Hope this helps....:-)
