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?

Yes, I think psychology could play a big part of it two, though how much I don't know. The thing is, I think a lot of the decisions made about first death on the programme were due to practicalities. If all potential immortalsI actually became immortals, then for every Highlander, there would be a dozen geriactric immortals running around, after dying from old age!

I think that the whole first death issue will never be totally resolved, primarily because of the origin question. They're all foundlings after all...and I have a few theories on that too:-)

Don't apologise for the school=active brain thing, I know exactly where you're coming from! I've just finished a college year (mature student) and suddenly find my brain twitching from inactivity. That, plus the fact that I've just indulged in a major DVD spree (including Highlander), has my brain coming up with all sorts of stuff :-)
