I still crack up every time I hear Sean Connery call Christopher Lambert "Highlander." It's meta-awesome.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

I am Connor McLeod of the clan McLeod
Did Duncan refer to himself as a Highlander?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Duncan may have said the "McLeod of the clan McLeod" bit, too, but I don't think he ever called himself Highlander.
I think another character or two may have. Ditto on Connor.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well, I don't think he thought of himself as a sassanach.
Cracked me up to see Sean Connery pretending to be a Spaniard (with a Scots accent) whilst the alleged Highlander himself was clearly as Scottish as the Eiffel Tower.
More like Brussels sprouts, but yeah. At least Duncan could approximate a Scottish accent when pressed.

My explanation is pretty men with accents and swords.

I saw some comedian do a riff on the director explaining to Connery that everyone else in the movie is Scottish, but his character is an Egyptian that's been living in Spain for hundreds of years. Then Connery responds, "All right" in a thick Scottish accent.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I have a couple of questions regarding the Sarah Jane Adventures. I've been DVR-ing the US airings, but I haven't gotten around to watching them yet. Accroding to my listings, the first was an hour-and-a-half single episode. Since then each week (except for the Titanic Doctor Who night) has been listed as two half-hour episodes, though many (all?) of them seem to be two-parters (split over the weeks, it seems).
Was the first episode really one long episode? Was the show only airing as a half hour in the UK? And, finally, how many episodes aired in all (or are they still airing this season)?
