Heh. Sumi, I was right there with ya on the "but, but, there's gotta be better ways to commit supercrimes than breaking open ATMs and paying for a car with a bag full of cash? Geeez, Clark. Dumb."
And I didn't like Chloe's hair. It was too pale blonde.
Okay, I watched my tape of Highlander "The Gathering" and now I'm thinking that they intended Richie to be an Immortal all along -- esp. after reading the synopses of the 2nd episode where he is searching for his "real" parents.
Is that right?
Oh, and paying for a $240,000 car with cash from an ATM? That was 12,000 twenty-dollar bills. Accountants everywhere gnash their teeth in horrified fury.
Well, why pay at all when you are a SUPER-VILLAIN?
See, it upset me so much -- his serious lack of real super-villainy that I doubleposted.

It's never made clear on the show, and if I remember correctly it's one of those things that behind-the-scenes stories on differ. It's always seemed likely to me, though.
I always figured it was in the plan because of the way Duncan and Connor both respond to Richie in the pilot. It's definitely there.
Yeah, that's what I got -- that they sensed him before he was there and then Connor makes some comment about "watching the boy".
Now, I really don't get why my friend (who turned me onto both Highlander and Buffy) thinks that Richie becoming an Immortal was the Jump the Shark moment.
I am still at the moment dazed and glassy-eyed from shirtless, dirty and crazy Lex. I hardly even noticed what happened in the rest of the show. Guhhhh.
Mmmmm. Lex.
Actually, I wasn't as let down as I expected to be - except for the bits with Helen and Lionel. Sville can't do villians to save their lives. Super!Bo wasn't as craptacular as I expected. Besides squealing for almostnaked!Lex I also bounced up out of my chair for voice of Terance Stamp (I know he's been on the show before - but I re-watched the Limey recently and am in lurve with him). Also happy to see Classic!Drew in the credits at the end. (Executive Story Editor - like that means anything - but still.)
Oh, another dumb thing about paying for the $240,000 car with
cash?
In the real world, all cash transactions above $10K get reported to the IRS, unless the dealership is crooked, too.
