[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9350177, member: 4348"] Actually, I think there are at least 3 Highlander (if you count the Cartoons, it could be as high as 5) realities in Highlander. The Original Movie is the base reality for 2 (3 if you count the cartoons, with the 4th as a possible) of those realities. The Original Movie and the Third Movie are one reality, and the first reality that exists. The third movie sort of conflicts with the original, but is close enough to be an actual continuation. The Second film is the second reality, and it meshes with the Original film as well...sort of...but has all sorts of nonsense that doesn't mesh with anything in OUR reality (Ramirez coming back...just because...really???). The Third Reality is the TV show. It does NOT include the first film (because in that film the gathering already took place and Conner WON...obviously he didn't win in the context of the Show's reality...especially when the films are taken into account). The TV show include the Fourth and Fifth Highlander movies as well. Thus, there are really 3 different Highlander continuities. One can be a fan of one, or more of them and still be a fan of Highlander. They may even just be a fan of the Original movie (and discard the third) and thus be a fan of the original Highlander and it's universe and dislike the other ones. If we include the cartoons (which almost never get mentioned) there's the anime (which is a trip in and of itself, and could be considered it's own reality...very debatable on whether it is supported by the OG universe or not) which is it's own reality. There's also the cartoon series which tenuously could be seen as being supported by the original highlander film...maybe, but not really supporting any of the other films or their realities. [/QUOTE]
