      Excuse me, Why to Duncan? They aren't even near each other right now!

  • For the record, there are 160 immortals in this event. So 104 out of 160 have coming in. So 56 left.

    • Could the tide shift again so suddenly? Xavier prevails against Gina, removing another Mac ally. Kane will no doubt have heard of Ramirez, and will be gunning for him. With his flunky Khabul by his side, he advances on the Peacock and takes a slice out of him while Duncan is distracted dealing with Caspian.

        • Kane, a definite game changer! The fact that one of his lackeys arrived when he did is huge. He is completely devoted.

          I could totally see them pairing off against The Horsemen. No way Kronos wants that around. Of course, he has Darius completely in his head.

          • Kane, knowing an easy victim when he sees one, takes out poor Keane. But too easy, he gets no points. Methos and Kronos are wavering, and Caspian is getting pretty pissed and seriously confused. The Horsemen, though, begin to take an interest in Kane, and not in a pretty way.
            Duncan and Rebecca are moving to save Ramirez. Whether or not they can, only time will tell... But it would not surprise me if Ramirez gave his head to one of them in an effort to help.

            • Kirshner attacks Caspian head on and regrets it. Methos points out Kane and Khan to Kronos, telling him they may be an issue. Kronos sneers for a moment but then hears "He is a very troubled soul." in his head. Kronos frowns and tells Methos there are other concerns, that the fate of many hang in the balance. Methos questions this. Kronos pats him on the arm and says "Don't worry old friend." Kronos stops and shakes his head. That damned voice!!!

              Jin Ke approaches Kane and challenges him. Khan goes to Kane's side. Jin Ke is joined by Duncan. Their alliance is definitely an uneasy one. But Duncan remembers what his kinsman told him of Kane. He believes Jin Ke can handle Kane. Bit Jin Ke has been here for some time now.

              Xavier challenges Ramirez, who accepts. Ramirez points out Xavier's lack of an arm, telling him he looks a bit of lopsided.

              Kanis foolishly challenges Rebecca, who reminds him that his puppies aren't here.

                • Come to think of it, I think Michelle Webster coming in is the WORST thing that could have happened to Duncan. It's just as bad, if not WORSE than another villain coming in. Duncan is TOO much of a boyscout to leave Michelle on her own. Duncan needs to be able to fight and run and having to look out for her is a nightmare. Best case scenario for him is that someone takes her out quickly. But she's a total liability.

                  + to Methos for resting
                  + to Jin Ke because I don't think he'd be in danger here
                  -- to Duncan - even being the best fighter on the table, most people know that and most people left don't like him and would want him dead. Duncan would probably even draw people so Michelle could escape.

                  • With Duncan distracted by having to protect the newly arrived and completely useless Michelle, Xavier takes out the weakened Ramirez after a brief but high-spirited affair. Duncan looks on from afar, cursing his bad luck.
                    "Will I ever see you again?"
                    "Who knows, Highlander? Who knows?"

                      Keep in mind, while we may assume Michelle would get some training, we never in fact see it or even hear back from it. Not like 2 seasons later we hear she's doing great or anything. We just know she is supposedly going to get some training. But we see 3 years later, Amanda has no contact with her (her being on the Raven, never even mentions her). So her training is minimal at best. Every other immortal (minus Mikey and Zale) have centuries of training and combat. She would be an easy target for anyone. Just my take.

                      Yeah I'm with Aragorn here. We're told she went for training with Amanda, but that's about it. Maybe Amanda got as far as helping her put the pointy end toward the opponent...maybe they got further. No way to tell, so I'm not making assumptions beyond what we really know.

                    • Michelle tells Duncan f-this shit, not to try and protect her. She assumed a good stance and takes a slice out of Khabul, whose surprise costs him a point. Duncan, having some sense, takes another from Caspian then rejoins Rebecca, Hans, and Jin Ke.

                          Duncan has 2 new liabilities in this contest with Mikey and Sean. Sean being the little drummer boy Duncan failed to protect during the Civil War, I think, would mess him up more than Michelle coming in. Duncan would want to protect him which would cause him problems.

                            Man you're determined. I can agree with your assessment. Mikey probably won't mess him up, because he remembers having to decide he should die.

                        • Aragorn makes some solid points about Duncan. Though he is (inarguably, IMO) the best fighter in the Highlander universe, he also has the biggest guilt complex and responsibility to help others who can't help themselves (though his kinsman could certainly challenge him in that respect). We can argue until the cows come home whether Michelle ever got adequate training from Amanda, but Sean Zale is another story altogether. That kid is a flat out target, and Duncan knows that. He won't be able to leave it alone, even if it puts him in incredible danger. His only choice is to rely on his allies, who have considerably thinned out in a few short rounds. Despite all that, I won't minus him, because he's one of my favorite characters. But I won't plus him either.

                          Back to the Game at hand, Xavier has newfound confidence after taking out Ramirez. He has no clue what's going on with Kronos and the other Horsemen, so chooses to stay clear. Instead, he moves in on Kirschner, who has a hard time keeping up.

                          • Caspian puts Kirshner away.

                            Interesting points are being made about Duncan. However, he does have a strong ally in Rebecca. There is a lot of cannon fodder out there right now. Fasil for me is a question mark. My next round will see something fun.

                            • I think that you're giving too much to Duncan to shoulder, he may be guilt boy but he's not stupid, in a melee like this he knows you can only do so much before you have to watch out for your own head before you're pulled in too many directions. I'm giving the poor boy Khan. ++--

                              • I am also giving Mikey a Mikey, but not bad. He blunders out after cringing, Trying to help Sean, Duncan, somehow. Kane, who might draw things out if he catches on, does him damage. Duncan already knows to keep out of Mikey’s way, and also keeps with his allies. Sean might not have long, but he is a war veteran.

She's giving him quick and dirty Amanda tactics on tripping up others in unscrupulous ways ++ Meanwhile Caspian gets another ouchie --

                                    He was in the war, and I think lived for a couple of years after his first death. While he was not originally capable of facing another Immortal, all indications being that he never met another until Duncan, perhaps he'll be better now.

                                    Oooh! Well, we never really saw what Anton might be capable of. If we're lucky, two allies. Unless this is Annie of the tie-in, whose last memory is of a fight to the death with Duncan. She would not know how they were manipulated by her bitca Watcher.

                                    We know little about Anton except that Xavier shot him. So I guess maybe he'd want to fight him? But we've no proof he'd win. But sure, he would not go after Duncan so that's a plus. And Annie, who got beat by Richie a week after he became an immortal, may fight with Duncan. She'd be toast quick though.

                                  I am a huge fan of Duncan too. I've NOTHING against him. If a bunch of the bad guys get thinned out and Connor and May-Ling or some of Duncans actually capable buddies come in I'll vote differently. I'm voting on what I think would happen with the current list of people in the fight. Not just who I like the best. Otherwise Methos and Gina de Valicourt would have 200 points each.

                                  Kronos, Xavier, Caspian would all be going after him like nobody's business. And there's about 10,000 years of killing between the three of them against a 400 year old bad ass. I just think he's outgunned here; especially before everyone else came in.

                                • Having lost his henchman so quickly, Kane finds himself feeling vulnerable. Fortunately for him, Xavier is looking to make an alliance. They tentatively agree to watch each other's backs, though under their breath they each mutter "Fool" with regard to the other.

                                  Mikey is the first casualty of their allegiance.

                                  • The Xavier/Kane alliance is interesting. I like the idea and look forward to them turning on each other. This time around though, they stick together and put down Jin Ke.

                                    The theory of everybody gunning for Duncan: I agree with it to an extent. The show was based on him and his adventures. So, 90% of the time, he was fighting (and killing) a new person every week. But there is no way some will trust each other or even work together.

                                    Caspian devlops a hunger. Hello Sean Zale.

                                    Things are desperate. Duncan makes eye contact with Methos, who cannot figure Kronos out. Kronos has been saying Kane was a threat to the rule of The Horsemen. Suddenly, Kronos is saying "The Highlander appears to be in peril. What shall we do, brother?" Methos looks wide-eyed at Kronos and asks what he suggests.

                                    Soooo much cannon fodder running around right now.

                                    • With Kronos more or less hobbled, Methos points him at the (++) the Kane/St Cloud combo (--) who could pose a serious threat to him. The killer in Kronos leaps at the chance and he is still a formidable foe.

                                      • I feel Aragorn's logic is slightly faulty, but that doesn't mean I'm right.

                                        + Kronos
                                        + Methos
