Free Fall

The first episode featuring a genuine bonafide rock star, Free Fall showcases the estimable thespian abilities of Joan Jett as Felicia Martins, a truly evil Immortal with a plan to eliminate MacLeod and her old enemy Devereux, a massively muscled and rather nicely put-together Immortal who, nevertheless, manages to trip over his own feet and get whacked in his own living room.

There's some secondary stuff about a counterfeit map, Felicia's temptation and betrayal of Richie, and Richie's own heartless and juvenile treatment of Tessa. When Duncan is about to give Felicia that fatal whack on the beach, Richie begs him not to and Duncan pretty much walks off in disgust.

Questions:

1. Wasn't that a really cool outfit Felicia showed up in on the beach? And why did it confuse Richie so much? I know the guy's naive, but ... oh never mind. Naive AND stupid.

2. Do you think it hurt Duncan MacLeod's ego that he was fooled by the counterfeit map or by the fact that Felicia Martins completely hornswoggled him on the new Immortal pretense?

3.Ddon't you think that Devereux's wife in France was overpowered rather easily by evil Felicia? Get real.

4. If you were Duncan and had given Felicia a very very very very expensive sword with which to practice, wouldn't you get pissed off that she whacked it against a concrete post?

5. What was the meaning of the song Ch- Ch- Ch- (etc) Cherry Bomb?

6. Was Felicia just getting in the crazy mood when she clenched her fists so hard that her palms bled or what was that all about anyways?

7. Was Duncan wearing pants in this episode?
