Xavier's missing hand bothered me in the past, because if a hand couldn't grow back Duncan would be scarred to hell. My headcannon is that it takes 20 years to grow the hand of a 20 year old man, or even 5 years at an accelerated healing rate and Xavier had a little silly baby hand beneath his claw. This would also explain why his hook was so far from his arm.

Wow, stunning set. Really like. Do you like a case with debossing/embossing ?

Not to nitpick but he wasn’t a descendant of Connor’s. Immortals can’t reproduce, he is a fellow clansman. 50 years later if I remember correctly.

In your section on Xavier St. Cloud you mention his ignoring Holy Ground. Duncan did the same thing in a Knights Templar church to a brand new immortal who fancied himself a cleaner of the streets. Duncan took his head in the church.

Good show, but you don't give Richard Moll enough credit for his appearance. His size definitely made him a formidable and believable villain. His character was much more of a dandy than Kurgan. Showing his vanity, like his desire to protect his face and keep his beard neatly trimmed set him apart from the barbarous Kurgan.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Most people can't wait to point out all the celebs I didn't include. It's a 'Top 10' list, people...not a 'Every Single One' list. But, no really, thanks!

Piper did go back to being a wacky wrestler in one of his last roles. He played "the maniac," a small time wrestler and recurring character on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

I always enjoyed how they would switch filming from Canada to Paris in almost every season, which led to the variety in guest stars Definitely should have included Joe Pantoliano and Martin Kemp for me, maybe even people like Danny Dyer, Peter Firth, Marc Warren, Jason Isaacs, Graham McTavish and Peter Howitt Some might be better known in the UK than the US but a theme was the number of musicians who appeared (Gift, Daltrey, Kemp, Easton, Jett, etc) A number of appearances were made by actors who later joined the Stargate casts as well

Nitpick: Duncan MacLeod wasn't a 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘵 of Connor MacLeod (the Immortals can't reproduce), but a distant relative -- probably a third cousin or some such.

Ron Perlman is best known today for his insane activist rants😂
@NerdRagnarok2 жыл бұрын
Yeah he is. I think it's the result of decades of living in the Hollywood echo chamber, plus being surrounded by an entourage (however small, in Ron's case) that never says 'no' to you, and attaining grumpy-old-man status.

Duncan wasn't "a descendent" of Connor. He was adopted by a person related to Connor from a century later.
