It’s not like there are people checking for immortals, I think it would be flagged by a dmv employee or something when they dont believe a clear 21 year old is actually 150. Let’s assume it’s current day im caught and not bring speculation on what the US is like in the year 2139 is like.

    I was watching this real-life documentary called Highlander about this dude Connor McCloud of the Clan McCloud. He is immortal, but he has to sword-fight people because if he gets his head chopped off, he isn’t immortal anymore. Anywho dude changes names every time someone gets too close. There was also a TV documentary by the same name about his cousin Duncan. Duncan is a bit more loose with it but they pack up and move around a lot. You should check it out, not Highlander 2, though; you can skip that one.

      He is immortal; he has inside him blood of Kings; he has no rival (except when he does); no man can be his equal.

      That song got me super amped (still does tbh)

        I am not going to lie, the movies and the TV series were my jammalam for a whole minute. Princes of the Universe is a mainstay in my classic rock playlist.

        Also, how can you not love a blind Frenchman playing an immortal Scottish swordsman trained by a Scottish man playing a Spaniard?

      Highlander 2 is cocaine’s masterwork.

      Magical immortality? Fuck that - now they’re aliens. And Connor is a scientist who saved the planet with a space shield. But the space shield isn’t actually necessary. And killing another alien will make him young again. And Sean Connery can be revived by yelling his name. Oh, and he can make a ball of energy from his hands to hold up a fan blade, but it’ll cost his life, I guess?

      There can’t have been a single sober person involved in that production.
