brightknightie: Duncan and Tessa embrace on the sidewalk. (Other Fandom Highlander)
Do you happen to know, off the top of your head, whether the scene in HL's "The Darkness," where Richie presses Duncan on why he'd proposed to Tessa, was a Eurominute? (That is, broadcast in Europe but cut in North America to fit in more commercials.) Just curious.

I first saw "The Darkness" on a 5-inch black-and-white TV. I watched it (in color) on recorded-from-TV VHS many, many times after, but hardly ever on DVD or streaming. When I bumped into this scene today, it wasn't new to me, but it was significantly less familiar than the rest:
"But sometimes I feel even older. I've done so many things. I've fought so many battles.

"People become part of your life, and then then they— they just die. It all stays with you, Rich. You live with it. Their hopes, their dreams, their pain, their love.

"Tessa makes me feel so young. Every time I see her, it's like the first time. Every time I touch her, I..."

Aside: Do you happen to know of any fanfic bringing back the Greta-the-psychic character for a good story purpose...? Duncan promised to tell her how it all ended. (But when you watch that scene on a much, much bigger TV screen today than when it first aired, you may perhaps notice that the look on her face when he turns away is perhaps for a second more predatory than altruistic.)
