Darth Sinister knows more about Highlander details and debates than almost anyone. He's a scholar on the subject. I'm going to ask him to come over here to answer questions about the episodes, the movies and any other HL material you might have puzzling you. (We don't have a forum for both TV and film combined, so this will have to do.)

Question #1. If an immortal exploded, would he recover?

#2. If an immortal lost a limb, would it grow back eventually, or would St. Cloud have been doomed to be one-handed forever? Why didn't Kalas recover his voice?

Great idea,Cool,so many questions unanswered so far!!

Here are some more:
1.why didn´t Duncan get any scars on his neck when cut there,but other immortals do?
2.why did Kate hate Duncan for not being able to have children when even as a not-yet-immortal she was never supposed to have any(like we learned when Richie got immortal)?
..to be contined..

Question # 1 Would an immortal recover if he exploded seems to have a pretty straight forward answer, not if his head became detached from his body and yes, if only other parts were lost.

Question #2 Since it was sometime before Duncan saw St Cloud again, it seems the answer to regrowing limbs was answered, it does not occur. As for Kalas' voice, his throat would have had to been cut rather deeply to affect his voice, so maybe because he came so close to losing his head, his voice was permanently affected. Which might also answer #1 from Brillant. Duncan's neck was sliced but never cut that badly so it healed. As for Kate being upset about not having children, that has to be attributed to poor research on the part of the writer or the director told her to say it without knowing any better. I am surprised Adrian didn't catch that. He usually caught mistakes like that.

Thanks Barney!

Dito !!

While I can see the point about Kalas' throat being close to his head, I don't know that I agree with you about St. Cloud. It may just take a long time to regrow an entire limb.

See, some lizards can regrow a tail, and it takes from four months to two years. Most lizards live 7 to 10 years, which would make the regrowth period as much as a fifth of their lifetime. In a European or American human that would be about 16 years. St. Cloud didn't live that long. Of course, that estimate is just for regular people. Immortals might be faster because they heal faster, or they might be slower because they live so much longer.

The things we consider!!!

Or from the view point of a man...there is no use arguing with a woman about her ability to have a child.

Hummm--seems to me that someone other than Duncan was Kate's teacher and perhaps from them, she learned that Immortals could not have children.
I would think that would be a part of learning what she was.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: where Highlander movies are concerned "story continuity" means that the snippets of film are all in one piece. And now that we have digital we can't even rely on that!

Hm. If a director says jump, isn't it the actors' jobs to ask how high? This may not be the place to speculate on such things, but wasn't it after Endgame that AP said that he wanted to go into the next film as a producer? And don't directors have to pay attention to the opinions of producers? It may be that while yes, AP catches discontinuities, he may not have been able to help them during Endgame.

(For those of you who haven't been over to highlander-community.com, it is one of the great pleasures of HL fandom to mutter and grumble over our fare. )
