Highlander University: Revenge Is Sweet
Jerri
MacLeod for supposedly whacking her boyfriend, a fairly evil Immortal named
Walter Reinhardt, then you are a True Believer.
There are some good scenes in the episode. Tessa climbing into that
skintight little black dress, then getting The Itch and Duncan having to
rush her into the glass-walled shower and strip her and give her a good
rinsing off. That's a good one. And Tessa imitating Vanity being superior
is a real hoot. Angie makes an appearance as Richie's non-girlfriend who
buys a used car from him and insists on satisfaction when it practically
explodes on her. I like how she grinds him down a little ("You TOLD me it
was a GOOD CAR, RICHIE!") while he squirms. Then there's the scene where
Richie is told to drive the really expensive car to the customer and pick
up a check in payment. Right. Uh-huh. The fake duel between Rebecca Lord
and Duncan for the benefit of Walter, is pretty entertaining ... a lot more
entertaining than watching her stab that dummy in the heart a few dozen
times. The quickening with all the pots exploding was good, but one has to
wonder if Dunkie just left Walter, headless, out in the garden for Rebecca
to deal with. I wonder about that, but I don't wonder hard or for very
long. The obligatory scene where Rebecca mourns that she met Walter before
she could meet Duncan and thereby Got It All Wrong was kind of sick-making,
but ... then you gotta figure that Duncan dodged a bullet on THAT one and
everything's okay again.
Questions:
1. Who ever bought a used car and had 'em deliver it to you in the dark of
night, with only the promise of a check? Whatever happened to signing 14
separate pieces of paper and waiting while the salesguy talked to the
manager 6 times to okay different parts of the deal?
Bonus Question: Would you buy a used car from Richie Ryan?
2. Walter Reinhardt must have been a salesguy at a women's clothing store
in order to fit that little black dress to Tessa to perfection like that.
Did Tessa tip the guy who delivered it to her?
3. Wouldn't Angie have made a great Immortal? Couldn't you just see her
with a sword in her hand, laughing as she beheaded ... the sales manager on
the used car lot?
4. Had the Highlander convention of Pixie Dust been invented by the time
Duncan left Walter in separate pieces in the garden?
5.. Hadn't TPTB learned their lesson from Joan Jett in Free Fall? Discuss.
6. Duncan in a poufy shirt ... serendipity or callous calculation?
7. Duncan's jeans. A fashion "DO" or a fashion "DON'T"? Could he get a
wallet in the back pocket?

<snerk>
I have to say that I also enjoyed the little comeuppance Rebecca meted out to
the street punk who was being very obnoxious......
And I enjoyed the little "I know you're an immortal but you're also a man, so
don't act like a stupid one" conversation between Tess and Duncan.

Oh, well, see, they'd *done* that part already, and then Walter must have said
he'd get back to them, and the sleazy dealer thought he'd lost a big sale, so
when Walter called and said he'd changed his mind, said sleazy dealer was just
glad his fish had climbed back on the hook, so to speak. Yeah, that's it.

"DO". Definitely "DO". And again, I say, who cares? He's immortal, what does
he need with a wallet? (Yes, I know that's a ridiculous statement. But I'll
take jeans' scenes however and wherever I can get them too.)

The one in my neighborhood? It sells cars at all hours of the night,
especially on the weekend. And the same cars mysteriously appear back a
few days later, yet the lot's been in *business* for several years.

Yes. But that's not necessarily a good thing. The last used car dealer
we dealt with was building a bomb shelter in his back yard out of an old

I'd have to guess...no? Either that or they were still trying

On Duncan a "DO". On the majority of the population (including myself)
- a "DON'T". As for the wallet, who cares? Like with the shirt - as
long as I get to see him in it, I don't care. I'm not that
picky...really. <g>

One tips anyone who performs personal service for one, especially pizza
delivery folk. One generally doesn't tip FedEx or UPS delivery folk ... but
a delivery from a store might be considered a tip-worthy service. Perhaps.
One always tips the driver of the van between airport & hotel. One always
tips Dawn the Dye Lady very well indeed. One does not, however, tip Dawn
the Dentist. One tips the skycaps outside the airport door if one wants
one's own personal luggage to arrive at one's destination on the same
flight. One tips the maid at the hotel, because cleaning the tub every day
is extraordinarily tip-worthy.
But especially, one tips pizza delivery folk, the most under-paid folk in
the world for services rendered. Especially if the pizza is hot and the
cheese still gooey, the pepperoni still bubbling in its own rendered fat.

Jett's. Yes, I'm a true believer in Rebecca Lord.(Of course it might help that
this is the only time I have ever seen Vanity, so I don't see her as a rock

courage, passion and beauty. Too bad she wasn't an immie.

Actually, I think I may have made up the pixie dust convention. Maybe not.
Someone did. Anyhow, it goes like this: Immortals are always leaving bodies
in 2 pieces. At the beginning of the series, the cops took an interest in
finding bodies that had been beheaded. Then ... suddenly ... they no longer
took an interest. It was as if finding severed heads was ... normal. Or,
perhaps, they weren't finding the bodies at all! The bodies were
discorporated by the judicious and timely application of Pixie Dust,
carried by all the most discrete and courteous Immortals in order to a)
hide the evidence and b) spare the sensibilities and tender tummies of
folks who dwell on the unappetizing thoughts of decapitation and such.
You are now privy to details of the Pixie Dust Convention.
Remember: a little knowledge can be a Dangerous Thang. Don't spend it all
in one place.

I quite liked the fencing match between Rebecca and Duncan. Let us say it

One has never ordered pizza delivered to the house!! One
goes to an Italian restaurant if one desires pizza and tips
one's waiter if (and only if) he gives good service. (after
all he earns more than a lowly civil servant <g>). One
has occasionally bought a take away pizza and brought
it home, but I think the assistant in the take away store
would look at me strangely if one was to tip him <g>

This one tips store delivery people. I've also had people from Sears
turn down the tips. The thing that always bothers me is what to do
about the owner of a business. The man comes in and installs the
curtains. I would normally tip heavily for curtain-installation, with
all that fussy steaming and folding and such; but what if the installer
is the owner of the company? Sometimes it is difficult to know.

Oh, I <AM> sorry. Never gotten home after a hard day of labor in the coal
mine, flopped into an easy chair and called the magic number? <I have the
number memorized> And 45 minutes later, a car pulls into the driveway and a
guy brings a pizza to the door, and actually lets you have that pizza in
exchange for some money <and a nice tip> and you don't have to go out, or
cook or anything? In fact you've probably changed into your robe and fuzzy
slippers before he even got there 'cause you knew that a pizza was on the
way and Life Is Good?

Well, that's one way of getting pizza ... actually I go to an Italian
restaurant if I want fettucini al fredo (heart attack on a plate) and good
Italian bread to soak with extra virgin olive oil and freshly grated cheese
... and one tips one's waiter if (and only if) he is still breathing at the
end of the meal.

I thought Duncan buried him...wasn't there a grave with a sword sticking out of
it, or was that another ep? Anyway I'm pretty sure there was a grave. Darn
it, I'm going to have to go watch the ep and make sure.

question; however, the grave with the sword sticking out of it is in
episode Innocent Man.
Duncan obviously doesn't want Rebecca to see Walter's decapitated
condition; however, it's not stated how she'll avoid seeing him if she just
takes a walk in the garden one day. So he may have buried him, but when
he's talking to Rebecca later, he doesn't look like a fella who just dug in
the dirt and buried a guy. Maybe he makes Richie bury him later on.
Richie could start an exciting new career as a gravedigger / Immortal
funeral director (it doesn't look as if the Used Car Salesman gig really
worked out ... and did the guy actually fix Angie's car after the luxury
car deal fell through?) , but odds favor the Pixie Dust. It takes a little
while to discorporate a corpse, but eventually it does the trick. No cops
will come to call. No charges will be filed. I think it might also file the
probate stuff and settle the estate. Of course, since Walter was presumed
dead long before the episode's "now", his estate would have presumably been
settled. Rebecca keeps it all, and it couldn't happen to a nicer ...

Goodness no! and WAY too slow! One gets off the bus
one stop past one's normal stop (about 100 yards) and
one pops into one of the two chinese take away shops,
the fish and chip shop who also sells pizza and pasta,
or the kebab shop, then one takes a leisurely stroll
home through the park, which takes less than five
minutes. Or one visits the deli on the corner and
buys a chilled fresh pizza or chicken enchiladas
or burritos or whatever fresh made and delicious
delights are sitting in the chill cabinet and pops it
in the microwave when one gets home while one
jumps under the shower and changes into a soft
flowing dress and wanders barefoot back into the
kitchen to collect one's dinner (and keep it out of
the clutches of one's cats <g>)

Well, there we are. The bus. And this "walking" thing. I could walk down to
the pizza delivery place ... it's about a half mile, but ... that would be
wrong. McDonalds is right across the street, and so is In A Tub (the
greasiest tacos in the entire universe). A Chinese restaurant used to be
there, too ... but was recently turned into a health food store. Won't be
darkening their doors any time soon. Used to be a Subway sandwich shop, too
... but it's being turned into a dentist's office. There's a teeny tiny
diner that used to be a doughnut shop. But ... when ya get down to it ...
after a long hot day down in the coal mines, there's nothin' like dialing

Well not only is it possible, it's natural and normal here
in the happening capital of Scotland <g>
(pizza delivery - we got those. most chinese places
deliver, even the Curry Oot will deliver - but why bother?
they're literally a few yards from the house <g>)
(besides which it would take longer for the guy to
deliver than it takes me to walk)
Shomeret
there is no bus service on weekends)the only pizza place that will deliver
makes pizza so horrendous that I wouldn't feed it to the dog. So either we
settle for frozen pizza, go out to our favorite pizza place in Berkeley, or
concoct a pizza using Pillsbury pizza dough which is what we did last night.

Jette, you're killing me. I can almost taste those chips. You just can't

Oh, I don't know. I thought she did pretty good there. When she kinda

DM did not leave Walter for Rebecca to deal with. He wouldn't let her go
out to see him (she obviously wanted to *see* the body this time, get some
real closure, but he forestalled her, mercifully). Having done that, I must
conclude he dealt with it.
However, I want to say here that this was the worst waste of "Who Wants to
Live Forever" on the show, bar none. And wrong. Rebecca was *not* worth
this song, even though I liked her character.
>The obligatory scene where Rebecca mourns that she met Walter before

Okay, I'll give you this one. *That* was a little over the top. I will
say, however, that there would almost certainly be *something*, some
indefinable, strongly attracting *something*, about immies that would pull
at those who go for the "still waters run deep" kinda guys.

DM was with Tessa for well over a decade. No bullet to dodge. Never woulda

Richie made a frighteningly convincing used car salesman.

Not necessarily. He'd obviously been scoping DM and his friends. Some

Didn't see that she did. But she's French (ooo, now I'm gonna get in

I think I've agree with you before on this. She woulda made a great immie

Nah. He had to do some heavy grade digging to get rid of that body. But

Kathy, I didn't catch the gutter reference until you brought it up ... but

Show me the Hefty bag that can support 180 lbs of dead Immortal without
tearing open or leaking severely, and I'll show you the Hefty bag that
ain't on the market. The things won't even hold a couple days worth of
garbage without leaking all over the place.
Nope. It's pixie dust. No need to carry around the bodies. Just a sprinkle
and a few hours later, no dead body. Duncan didn't have a chance to
sprinkle Slan Quince's body with pixie dust, 'cause he had to jump off the
bridge to locate Connor. That's why the cops found Quince's decapitated
corpse.

Not me. I had a dealership take my car for two days to install the cruise
control that they promised I could have, only to find out that you can't have
cruise control *and* turbo in a Plymouth Colt because it will randomly
accelerate on the highway. And I found out that if you go into the showroom
and yell at the owner of said dealership about this "mishap" they will try to
shove you into a back office and start writing checks to make you shut up
because they already sold the car you loved and traded in for this hunk of

You know, I love Roger Bellon's music in the series. It's usually just
right. A couple times I've seen episodes dubbed in other languages that have
lost the music, and the loss is not trivial. That stabbing practice is about
the only scene I can think of where the music stood out as wrong for me. I
don't think the scene would have been quite as silly without it. The music
is just vague atmospherics with a little build-up, so I'm not quite sure why
it was so annoying - maybe it hinted at importance that the scene didn't
supply.

Well, it's nice to know *someone* would. Only Domino's will deliver to
where I live. Their shop is about 5 miles away. Both Pizza Hut and Papa
John's are closer, but neither of them will deliver to me. The Papa
John's is even next door to a Chinese place that will deliver to me, but
the Papa John's won't. (We're talking about 3 1/2 miles away, here. The
Pizza Hut is about the same distance.)
I always give Pizza Hut and Papa John's a Bronx cheer when I see their
ads. They claim their product is better, and they want your business.
But if they wanted more business that bad, they'd deliver to people living
less than 5 miles away!

discussion I have heard but do not know if it is fan ficiton or not. It
involves a group similar to the watchers called the moppers who clean up
afer immortal battles.
Considering that some of the swords these immortals use are fairly old they
could support themselves by selling swords of dead immortals if they could
get them before the watchers do.

I just cannot see her caring THAT deeply for anyone but herself. Sure, she
has genuine affection for him and in her way, the best she's capable of,
loves him. Yes, he loves her even though she uses and manipulates him
unmercilessly. He knows and understands exactly what she's up to every
time, and STILL allows her to pull his strings. That's the one character
flaw he has that I find difficult to stomach.

I dunno.... I don't think she would do it if he didn't let her. He must be
getting something out of it. ANd I do believe that if Mac put his foot down
and said "This has got to stop" then Amanda would leave him out of her crap.
SHe knows he always is on to her, he always gets the truth eventually, so it
really is a mutual game, symbiotic. She gets someone to cover he back, he gets
someone to make his heart glad. And they both enjoy a good mattress mambo. I
don't think it's a character flaw, I think it's a strength. Mac isn't stupid.
If she was truly out to hurt him, he leave, or take that pretty head of hers
right off her shoulders.

I'm largely with you, Jana on this one. Most guys would go apes**t if
their lady abused their credit card, but Duncan just lets her get away with
it! Dumb fool! AND she sets him up with Kimmies that are after HER,
knowing DM is likely to whack them out of a sense of gallantry. You'd have
thought he'd be smart enough to realise this by now....<G>.

I disagree that Amanda uses and manipulates Duncan mercilessly. As I see
it Amanda did use and manipulate Duncan in the past and even in the
first two eps of HL:TS she was in (Lady and the Tiger and Return of
Amanda) but what evidence is there that she continued to do that. Yes,
they pretty much fell into bed whenever they met but I don't remember
her ever holding a sword to his neck to force him to make love to her
<bg>.
She doesn't use him in Legacy (except for emotional support as any
friend would). He rescues her but she didn't ask for his help in fact
she went to great lengths to keep him out of it. He uses her in Rites of
Passage (to take Michelle off his hands) and Cross of St Antoine (to
break into Durgan's collection). She doesn't use him in Finale I&II, in
fact she's trying to make up for the times he's bailed her out in the
past. She doesn't use him in Double Eagle (unless you call just showing
up using him, I don't. I think once he got over his surprise he was glad
to see her.). In Reunion she asks a favor of him (to let Kenny stay a
while) and she does use a little sexual persuasion so maybe you could
call that a minor manipulation. In the Colonel she saves his (very cute)
butt by pressing Joe to find out where he was and breaking him out. She
certainly didn't use or manipulate him then. She does go to him for help
when she's scared in Methuselah's Gift but again, I consider that a part
of their friendship not manipulation or using. She didn't use him in
Immortal Cimoli (unless you count talking him into joining her circus
act which I think deep down he probably got a kick out of :-) ). She
didn't use him in Dramatic License (except for his credit card <g>). He
rescued her in Money No Object but she didn't ask for his help. In FUOT,
she does manipulate him because she feels like it's the only way to save
his life (so I can easily forgive her). In 2B/N2B she is put in danger
because of Duncan, she doesn't use or manipulate him.
So, the way I see it, out of the 17 eps she was in Amanda seriously
manipulated Duncan 3 times (once for what she thought was his own good).
I'm not trying to paint Amanda as a saint (lord knows she isn't) but
she's certainly not a cold hearted, manipulating bitch either. I grant
that she sometimes cajoles Duncan into doing things he wouldn't
ordinarly do but those things are usually good for him. She helps him
loosen up and have fun.

I don't think Duncan allowing Amanda to "pull his strings" is a
character flaw. Duncan may allow Amanda to have her way most of the time
but, IMO, he does it because he cares for her and feels responsible for
her (as he feels responsible for everyone in his 'clan'). He lets her
get away with things because her pleasure gives him pleasure. She
stimulates him (and I don't just mean in bed <g>) and pulls him out of
his rut. And, as he tells Tessa, Amanda makes him laugh. Duncan could
certainly have used more laughter in his life.

soldier's and steals his horse and he thinks it is funny really defines
their relationship. Sure it is dangerous and expensive but so is sky
diving. I think with Amanda there is not really many men capable of keeping
up with her much less beating her. So they are a challenge and a pleasure
for each other. I am not so sure Mac would even be interested in her if she
was not so much trouble, he seems drawn to damsels in distress. For sure she
would get bored with him otherwise.

then they didn't back HL any more after that because there weren't
*enough* rock stars.
The only rock star who first appeared after season 1 was Sheena Easton, in
the season 2 episode "Eye for an Eye."
But in season one we have:
Joan Jett (Free Fall)
Vanity (Revenge is Sweet)
Roland Gift (For Tomorrow We Die)
Dee Dee Bridgewater (The Beast Below)
Martin Kemp (Avenging Angel)
Roger Daltrey (The Hunters)
(I think that's all of them.)
Roland Gift and Roger Daltrey reprised their roles in later seasons.

Duncan is smart enough to realize it. And the reason he lets her do this
to him is because he likes it, deep down. I think Amanda appeals to his
inner naughty boy. With Amanda, he can get into things and do things that
he is too straight laced to get into or do on his own behalf. As the
conversation went in Finale part 2 (twice!), Duncan says something like,
"Why do I let you get me into this?" And Amanda replies, "Because you
love it!" She's right.
Duncan called Amanda a "bad habit" in "The Lady and the Tiger." And like
any bad habit, it's something that maybe logically you shouldn't do, but
actually enjoy doing too much to give it up.

Yes. Martin Kemp was Alfred Cahill. However, ::pedant alert:: the phrase
"looney tunes" always summons images of Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig. Could
anyone see Cahill as Elmer Fudd? <g>
Cahill was *deep breath* An man driven insane by his experiences in the SAS,
and his seeming supernatural resurrection. Furthermore, he had delusions of
grandeur, was obsessed with the Templars, and was, in short, a complete and
utter psycho....IMO.. "Looney tunes" doesn't cover it <g>

I wonder if this is part of the immie psychological warfare. I mean, we all
know DM often questions The Game and his part in it, not without a few regrets.
As must most of the "good" immies. So a tuned in k'immie might use this line
of thought to his advantage.... Does that make sense?

Yes, T-Bird...your brains have not exited your body via your nasal passages,
<g> It does make sense. But, thinking bout it, it would only work with those
Immies who were brought up as Christians or became them..and often kimmies
don't quite research their prey..so I guess whether that gambit would work
would be down to age of the target ::shrug::

a lovely bedside manner (judging from Indiscretions) if I say so myself. One
Doc Adams Clone on the way by Express Clone Mail.
