ow. I hate papercuts.
or paperburn.
1. If you blow a Highlander immortal up, is that as effective as taking their head? I mean, boom, they're dead, right?
2. Dot looks disturbingly attractive in Xena's peasant costume... She even has the boobilage for it.
3. Obviously, I need a good digital camera to take pictures of Action Figure Theatre, one of these days.
4. I need hot cocoa.
5. My headache was so bad at work today, I wanted to turn the lights out. Instead, I sat hunched, with the scarf my mother knitted me (which doubles as a shawl--this thing is frelling awesome) wrapped around my shoulder and serving as a half-decent sun visor.
6. How does work get done when my co-workers stand around talking half the day? I really don't get it.

I believe it would depend on how well you blow said Immy up. If there are lots and lots of pieces then I would think they would be dead. But if enough of the spinal column remains attached to the head then they would possibly, eventually be able to regenerate/heal/whatever the hell you want to call it via their Quickening. It would just probably take a while I would imagine...unless total death (rather than say 'it's just a flesh wound/losing an arm) helps them heal more efficiently, but even then...
Canon seems to contradict itself (which isn't at all shocking) on how well an Immy can heal. Xavier St. Cloud lost an arm and even after a year or so it didn't regen, but we have also seen some Immortals who were burned to death - which, quite frankly, can mean a shitload of trauma to a body and a helluva lot of stuff for the Quickening to 'fix' including possible missing appendages.
I also have a hard time believing that every Immortal of a few thousand years or better could have possible made it that long without losing some part of their body no matter how good a fighter they might be so I would think they probably can regrow parts of their bodies.
So, yeah, I would say it might be just as good (not to mention probably easier) than lobbing their head off.
Er...sorry for the long drawn out comment. I'm here via various BSG comms if you are curious about why a total stranger is commenting.

Thank you, because this gives me a better idea of what to do with this plotbunny.
And, dude, I like long comments with canon stuff I don't know about.
