A Bit Of Silly

I was talking to Nin on the phone about this post at Cyberducks, and it degenerated into just what exactly a new Highlander based series would be like. I say degenerated, cus it got silly fast :)

Highlander: CSI (that one requires no explanation)

An Immortal Vegas showgirl who solves mysteries on the side.

An Immortal surgical resident who solves mysteries on the side (you're sensing a theme here, right?) and has a lot of sex.

An Immortal mystery authour who solves murders -- a Highlander meets Murder She Wrote sorta thing.

An Immortal version of the O.C.. Instead of catfights, they duel to the death, declaring after victory, "Now, there's one less!" (solving mysteries optional)

A cranky Immortal diagnostician solves mystery illnesses, surrounded by eager young residents.

Feel free to add your own.

An immortal who works for a U.S. government counter-terrorist unit, who persists against all odds each week for one hour of real-time... wait a minute, we already have that one!

An immortal space explorer who boldly goes where no immortal has gone before?

Two immortal plastic surgeons who deal with their mid eternal life crises while coping with family problems and sometimes less-than-sane patients.

An immortal named Duncan O engages in silly frat-boy hi-jinks, like shooting bottle rockets out of his butt, and other even more dangerous stunts that could get him killed, if he could actually die.

An immortal “Time Lord” who travels through space and time with a human sidekick. . . never mind.

An immortal survivor of an interplanetary civil war buys an old space transport and collects an unlikely crew of misfits, runaways and mercenaries who try to eke out a living by doing sometimes less-than-legal jobs while flying under the all-powerful government’s radar.

An ancient counsel of mystics grants a young female immortal superhuman strength and speed in order to combat a rising invasion of the undead.
