[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: I remember scene involving Quickening seizures that was kind of cool. Richie was getting his butt stomped and Mac couldn't interfere because of The Rules. Richie, down on his knees says, "Go ahead and kill me. Mac is going to be right over there waiting to take care of you when my Quickening knocks you on your ass." Or something like that. I always thought that was funny.[/QUOTE]Close. In "Testimony" Richie was actually being held hostage in a recurring cliche (which thankfully happened less after he become Immortal, this being an example). Richie was tied up as insurance to keep Duncan away, but when Duncan finds Kristov's hideout anyway, Kristov goes for Richie's head. Hence: http://www.pedmonds.force9.co.uk/richie.html [QUOTE]Speaking of Quickening, do they ever explain for sure how the Quickening knows which Immortal to go to? Or is it just assumed that it's the closest one? There's an ep where a bunch of Watchers capture a husband and wife Immortal couple. They tie one of them to a tree and behead them. The other one gets the first one's Quickening even though he didn't actually kill her. What if noone kills the Immortal... if, like, a tree falls on them and it plucks their head head clean off? Does it just go to the nearest Immortal? [/qb][/QUOTE]It generally goes to the nearest Immortal - there may be the occasional slipup, but I believe that's the series rule. When an Immortal dies and no other is around, it's usually said that their essence is lost forever. There is no definite range, but most believe that it's just gone. When Fitzcairn is caught and about to be guillotined, he rants on about how all he knows and is will be lost because no other Immortal is near. And in an episode of The Raven, Morgan Kenworthy is quite implausibly behaeded by falling glass. Amanda is outside the building where this happens - while there is all the lightning and stuff, she doesn't get it. Later on in the show, Wolfe beheads a guy just as Amanda gets there, and she does get it. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
