Jason Isaacs, Anthony Stewart Head and that guy who played Daniel on Stargate SG-1 have all made appearances on Highlander, along with the guy who was Ray in Sister Sister (shut up, okay?) and the woman who was Lona Massingale in Kingdom Hospital. I have whiplash from so many double-takes.

Called Johnny today (mostly to gloat, I confess) and was amazed at some of the random things he remembers. Like Darius. I'd completely forgotten Darius, though according to Johnathan I cried when he died:

Froodle: Are you sure you're not thinking of the time Tessa died?
Johnny: One of them's a blonde French woman, the other's a Catholic German monk. I think I'd remember.
Froodle: Well I don't. Weird, huh? I'm just upset he didn't turn out to be the Darius of Guagamela fame.
Johnny: Are you kidding? If he had been, you would have spent all the time he was onscreen being like, "Nyah-nyah, Colin Farrell kicked your arse!"
Froodle: No I... okay, yeah I would.
Johnny: So who do you think would win, Duncan or Colin Farrell?
Froodle: Is Colin Farrell an Immortal?
Johnny: Yes.
Froodle: *thinks* No, I reckon Duncan would still win.
Johnny: Yeah. But what about Angel and Duncan?
Froodle: Why would they fight in the first place? They'd probably go off to have a quiet drink and angst about their lost loves and annoying sidekicks together. Angelus, on the other hand...
Johnny: That wouldn't even be a contest. Duncan would be all, "Holy ground! Safe!" and Angelus would be like, "Decapitation!"
Froodle: Hee! Oh, oh, do you remember that episode with the Immortal that lived under the Paris Opera House?
Johnny: What like, Highlander meets Phantom of the Opera? Now there's a mindboggling concept.
Froodle: Well, he was more Quasimodo than Erik. What with the shambling and the not being a crazed psychotic killer.
Johnny: I think I do - there was a whole thing with wildflowers and that black woman with crazy earrings?
Froodle: Aye, that's the one.
Johnny: Oooh, it's like the Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Phantom of the Opera had a baby. I wonder which of them got pregnant.
Froodle: ...could you not say that Ever again?
Johnny: Heehee!
Froodle: Urgh! Moving swiftly on, d'you reckon Duncan or Erik would win in a fight?
Johnny: Is he pregnant?
Froodle: AUGH SHUT UP WHY!
Johnny: Heeheehee! But, um, probably Erik, because he'd cheat and blow up the arena or something, and then cut off Duncan's head while he's still trying to find his missing arms.
Froodle: Yeah, Erik's a sneaky bastard.
Johnny: Plus, you know, he lost to Raoul in a fair fight, so clearly Duncan could kick his arse in a straight-up sword match.
Froodle: I bet he could beat Richie, though.
Johnny: Oh man, now I want to see Richie and Raoul duke it out.
Froodle: Battle of the shitty hair!
Johnny: Richie gets a five-point penalty for being ginger.
Froodle: Hahah, gutted!
Johnny: Okay, okay, final thing: Angelus vs Erik.
Froodle: Angelus. He's like, master of the psychological torment.
Johnny: Man, Erik just sucks all over the place today.
Froodle: Well, at least he beat Richie. And Angelus is impossible to beat unless you're Buffy.
Johnny: What if Erik dressed up as Buffy?
Froodle: Angelus has a nervous breakdown at the horror of it all, and Erik puts a stake through his heart while he's screaming and clawing at his own eyes.
Johnny: The wardrobe of Buffy is a powerful weapon.
Froodle: Deadly, in the wrong hands.

I love my crazy brother.
