Cold?

[ithildin]

I'm watching the ep where Anne comes to Paris, and she wants Duncan to put a coat on even thought he can't catch a cold, and he replies, 'we can catch colds, just not die of them.' I don't ever remember knowing that they could get any sort of illness?

Talk about a can of worms *g*. I have a question. Everyone talks about Immortal's immune systems - is it *ever* discussed or even mentioned in canon that they have better immune systems? Or is it that they are effected just like we are until they die and then their bodies repair and they revive? I just don't seem to remember it even being brought up, except in this instance. And then Duncan's reply, to me, is that they can get a cold just like any other human on the planet, but if they die, they come back.

I don't think it's been brought up in canon..but then, lots of my canon knowledge is 10 years old *looks forward to summer with 6 seasons on dvd*.
Hmmmm...I wonder whether David Abramovitz will be on Vancouver con? We should ask him *ggg*.


P.S. Pat, thank you very much - I got the collector and l word Peter - just have to wait until I'm back home to watch..

Tickleing at the back of my brain, I have a memory of a similar exchange between Duncan and... Richie? But that's all I can pin down. Anyone out there remember that? Or is it my imagination?

I think it was Counterfeit Part 1. Mac and Rich were waiting for Horton's people to ambush them at the barge and Rich was complaining that he was freezing and would catch a cold. Mac said not to worry, he wouldn't die of it...
