I was born
400 years ago in the

will release the power of
the QUICKENING.
IN THE END THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

------------------------------------------------------------
Irreconcilable Continuity Problems:
Age of the Kurgan.
In the first movie, Ramirez refers to the Kurgan as being "old
and powerful". The Novel version has his being born before 1015
BCE around the Caspian Sea. This is not entirely inconsistant
with the Kurgan people's, an ancient people who came west off the
Asian Steppes, leaving behind their burial mounds, or "kurgans".
However, in the TV series, in the Watcher Database in the episode
"The Watchers", the Kurgan is noted as becoming Immortal in
Northern Russia, on 20 March 1452. (Obviously the Watchers
aren't perfect. It's possible that the Kurgan changed his
identity and the Watcher's didn't make the connection...)
"Little Gathering of 1985".
The Origin of the Immortals.
Dates:
1. In 1995, Connor's "Final wife" dies of solar
radiation poisoning in New York. The implication
is that this could be Brenda, although she died
around 1986 in H3. Also, during this time, in
H4, Connor was drugged at the Sanctuary in H4.
2. In 1999, Connor MacLeod builds "The Shield" to
protect the Earth from the Sun's ultraviolet
radiation coming through the depleted ozone
layer. Again, during this time, in H4, Connor was
drugged at the Sanctuary
