Why do you watch Highlander ?
Well, I watch Highlander because Galatea does, and I stick pretty close to her when she's home, unless I'm busy in the basement with the clones, but Highlander time is our together time. And if I've been bad and am duct taped to the ceiling, well, she is always thoughtful enough to put a tape in the vcr--and it's usually 6 episodes of Highlander.
When did you start watching the Highlander ?
Well, I was born right here on the Highlander Forum. Godiva was my midwife, sort of. I was born full grown, just like Athena who was the goddess of wisdom, you know? I cut my teeth on Highlander. And G. helps me with the parts I don't understand.
What does the Highlander concept mean to you ?
I think it all boils down to some kind of conspiracy. Like, why don't these guys know their origin? Well, it cries out GREEN PEZ to me. And how come they can't die? Well--it's got to be some kind of top secret government experiment that's gone really awry. Or maybe it's something involving the alien take over of the original space lab. You don't really think something that expensive to built and maintain would be allowed to just crash into the atmosphere do you?
What direction would you have liked the Highlander series to go ?
Definitely more nudity. And they have to get a can of spam and some olives into the series somehow.
I'd like to have seen the Stone Chicken revealed as the ultimate symbol of governmental corruption--and that dwarf with the ball revealed to be the b@st@rd that pulls the strings on all our destinies--the King of Konspiracy, if you will.
Where do you see the new spinoff the Raven in all this ?
It's got to be revealed that the REAL Kronos never died. It was a doppleganger created by bad chicken hallucinations. Kronos should play an enormous part in the new series--and he should rock the world! I'd like to see a few black helicopters and Tommy Lee Jones in the new series too. I've got lots of clones I can spare. Also, if they could get a badger in there somewhere. And some monkeys. Hell, they should just put in the whole videotape of this year's Krismas at the Kompound. It's gonna be the best!!
Who's your favorite Character and why ?
Well, I gotta say it's my close personal friend the K-man. Leather Lad and I go way back, and our girls are the closest of friends. It'd be disloyal to go with anyone else. And I'm not a disloyal guy. (Now if I weren't already deeply committed to G., well, that tarty little Amanda would tempt me--don't tell my sweetie!--but like I said, I'm loyal.)
Who's your least fav character and why ?
Like there's even a debate here! It's that skanky wench, Cassie-ho! I've seem rat's nests with better grooming than her hair--it's called a comb, girl, C-O-M-B. Look it up. You won't regret it! And what's with the 12 inch talons of death? Yikes! Stand back! She doesn't need a sword to cause permanent injury! And what's with the penchant for tongue kissing babies? Ick. It's the worse. If I did that to a little girl, I'd be in jail--no, I'd be dead, cause my G would kill me.
What's your favorite and least favorite episodes?
Heh heh. Dramatic License was my personal favorite. Worst: Anything with a whiff of red fog in it ought to be cast into the abyss.
What's your favorite line from the series or movies?
You can't beat Connor's line in reply to one of those cheesy cops who are interrogating him. Connor suggests that the dead guy was so despondent over the quality of all-star wrestling that he cut off his own head. Heh heh heh.
Then when the cop asks a question suggesting that Connor might prefer men to women, he asks, "Why? You cruising for a piece of @ss?"
Ah, Connor, what a guy! I may have to clone him.
Whats does the Prize mean to you?
Cracker Jacks!!!! Now if only they'd put little jars of olives in there.....
What's the deepest thought that the Highlander ever evoked in you ?
The deepest thought it ever evoked in me was "What the hell is with all this red fog?" I'm not a deep thinker. G does most of my thinking for me and just tells me what I think. It's so much easier that way.
What will you watch when "Highlander" ends after this season. What show will fill the void?
Well, I hear that they may rerelease all the old My Favorite Martian shows on video tape. If they do, G. and I will buy them and watch them all. Otherwise, I'll just go back to watching Ken Starr's Soap Opera Extravaganza!
Now if only someone would cut HIS head off. That would be entertainment! (Hey, every time I see that Tripp woman, I think I see a little aura of red fog lingering around her--and I swear her little corsage was dripping a bit of gore the other day.)
These are my answers. Thanks for letting me play, and please do forward my prize to me at once if I win. Thanks.

Why do you watch Highlander ?
I don't. I watch Mr. Mom on video exclusively. Only turn on the TV when Mr. Mom is broadcast...but it's not the same. I miss the euros and the letterbox. When Melvin comes over we watch together....hitting the remote and rewinding the good parts and making commentary.
When did you start watching the Highlander ?
Didn't you hear me? I don't watch it. Of course I don't remember much before that little incident in Big John's cellar with Cimoli and the pasta. Let's not go there. I'm much better now.
What does the Highlander concept mean to you ?
I'd have to go with Melvin here. Forget the d@mn aliens. It's all a conspiracy. He told me so. And he gave me a roll of tin foil for putting on my head should any black helicopters fly over the Kompound.
What direction would you have liked the Highlander series to go ?
Melvin said: "Definitely more nudity. And they have to get a can of spam and some olives into the series somehow."
I'd have to add more leather. And lots more sword fights. Fried chicken would be good too. And beer.
Where do you see the newspinoff The Raven in all this ?

It's gonna be the best!!"
I'd have to go with Melvin on this one too. Unless they bring old big nose back for some Bronze Age flashbacks what has the series got going for it? Just a good looking broad and a goody-goody boyfriend. Sure she's a looker (Nothing, My Sweet. Not doing a thing. Just go back to what you were doing, My Pet. No need to check. Just vacuuming. I swear, My Naked One.) What The Raven needs is a few good Horsemen.
Who's your favorite Character and why ?
Why....me of course.
Who's your least fav character and why ?
I'd have to go with kilt-boy on this. Granted the witch would come a close second but I could take her, providing there were no steam pipes around. But that Scotsman wanted to take my head. Thought he did. He needs some major attitude adjustments. Just let me adjust a few vertebraes with my "pursuader" and we'll see what kind of a hair cut he sports.
What's your favorite and least favorite episodes?
My favorite episode was definitely Not to Be. At last I am shown for the hero I am. The defender of all things immortal. My least favortie was Revelations 6:8.....even though kilt-boy only *appeared* to take the Kronos/doppleganger's head it was quite unsettling to me. I still can't watch it. I can never see that quickening without some major anxiety. I am a very sensitive person, actually.
What's your favorite line from the series or movies?
"YOU'RE DEAD." It comes it handy under the widest variety of circumstances.
What does the Prize mean to you
A box of tinsel, watermelon jello and a tub of cool whip.
What's the deepest thought that the Highlander ever evoked in you ?
Who's going for another KFC run? And who keep stepping on that cat?
What will you watch when "Highlander" ends after this season. What show will fill the void?
Mr. Mom. Didn't you read the first answer?

Hey great answers...are you schizophrenic ? :O)
What are your thoughts on crazy glue and esparagous ? :O)
Posted by k on Friday, 7 August 1998, at 8:30 p.m.
I'm Scythian.
And never put crazy glue on asparagas. It glues your mouth together and you also can't use the matches.
Posted by Melvin on Friday, 7 August 1998, at 8:32 p.m.
If you have crazy glue with your asparagus you'll be assured of a meal that sticks to your ribs. Heh heh.
I don't think that k is schizophrenic either. He's a Scorpio just like my gal G. I'm not sure how to classify myself. I just know that just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that *they* aren't really out to get you!
