Not everyone has a VCR, not everyone that has a VCR knows how to program
it, and the advertisers pay for \live\ viewers because it's too easy for
someone watching a tape to fast-forward through the commercials. PTEN
and the stations would lose money by showing the episodes in July rather
than in October.

It was a huge undertaking by the colonists in part because it was
\private\ expedition. They didn't have the government's resources, but
the \government\ DID have the government resources.
As for Devon making destroying BB's presence on the planet her first
priority - HOW? They were stranded with most of the supplies and
equipment the advance party was SUPPOSED to have lost or destroyed, and
they were a few thousand miles from where they needed to be when the
main colony ship arrived.
FIRST priority \had\ to be survival.
SECOND priority was reaching the intended landing site so that when the
rest of the colonists arrive, there's a base for them - and Devon and
Co. finally have some equipment & supplies.
Getting rid of BB would be nice project for sometime AFTER that, when
they have some \means\ for getting at BB.

Well, I have some new information. When last I commented on the
upcoming Highlander card game, the official word was that it was going to
be released in September. It has *now* been pushed back all the way to
March of 96.
I'm beginning to thing that this game is a mirage...

Okay, here's the scoop. The first Highlander novel, "The Element of
Fire" by Jay Henders, will be out around October. The second novel,
"Scimitar" by Ashley McConnell, will be released after that.

Heh. Roger Daltrey is very much alive. However, the character he
in several two episodes of Highlander (Hugh FitzCairn) was killed by
Kallas.
