no? flat characters in the series? wherever did you get an idea like that???

Diamond9697 · 8th October 2001, 11:23 PM

when I started paying attention to that stuff when I started writing fic

Highlander II · 9th October 2001, 02:36 AM

hehehe --

okay - so now that we know what the flat villains look like -- we can take steps to avoid creating such characters of our own --

Highlander II · 20th March 2002, 10:16 PM

okay - are there any non-flat characters? ie: are there and 'round' villains on Highlander???

Diamond9697 · 21st March 2002, 08:39 AM

well Duncan tended to kill them of to fast for them to really develop much depth. I think Kronos was fairly rounded for the amount of time given to him.

Highlander II · 21st March 2002, 03:48 PM

yeah - Kronos got a bit more -

Horton got some depth to him too -- (and he was so easy to hate! very well-done character!)

anyone else??

most of the baddies got a flashback and then <poof> they were gone --

markpud · 27th March 2002, 12:49 AM

Xavier?

Highlander II · 27th March 2002, 03:49 AM

yeah - he got a bit of bkgrnd - he lost a hand, then was in that flashback later -- in the desert --

that thing w Hamza el Kahir (think that was his name)

Diamond9697 · 27th March 2002, 10:02 AM

Kalas was a bit rounded as well I think...most that had more than one eppy had at least some background and personality

markpud · 28th March 2002, 01:24 AM

so basically the immies who got more than one episode....

Highlander II · 28th March 2002, 02:06 AM

looks that way - yes --

tho - they could have done more w/ some of the single episode characters ---

Diamond9697 · 14th April 2002, 08:55 AM

yeah...a lot of them had potential...they just never went anywhere with it

Highlander II · 15th April 2002, 04:26 PM

of course not - that would require attention to be taken away from Duncan -- so the k'immies couldn't be more developed --

ya know - i GOOD writer can develop a single episode character in the 1st 15 mins of the show and STILL kill the guy and make the viewers believe it ---

Highlander lost all it's good writers after season 2, i think - 'cept for whomever was in charge of the 'Methos-centered' eps - ie: Methos, Timeless, The 2 Horsemen eps -

Highlander II · 14th July 2002, 04:35 AM

Was watching Forever Knight - and realized that Garrain Wyn-Davies had so much more room for his character on HL than he does on FK (either that or the writers slacked off in S3 of FK) --

Quentin Barnes / Michael (his last name just slipped my mind as I was trying to type it) was much more interesting than Nick Knight - or at least the Nick from S3 FK --

Quentin/Michael was an interesting character - yeah - he had that whole 'dual personality thing' going for him, but only the audience knew, for most of the episode, that they were the same guy ---

tho - I'm not always sure how some of these characters miss stuff like that---- but - anyway --- (suspension of disbelief I guess)

Quentin was just an unusual 'k'immie' --

Have you ever realized that almost all the villains' names start with K ?
I don't think that's coincidence, it looks more like a inside joke. Does maybe the producer's name or the name of any of the other bosses start with a K??
