** Then again, Henry has died in contact with others, such as when he died in Abigail's arms, and nothing happened to her, so it's possible that his immortality draws a distinction between Henry's clothing and possessions and other living beings.

* Adam tells Abigail, "For two thousand years I've thought I was alone!" That is ''not'' the same thing as saying he's never met another immortal before. Where did Adam get the idea that the weapon which made them immortal might be able to kill them for good? Why would he think they even ''could'' be killed permanently? Maybe there was another immortal once, back when Adam died the first time. And Adam either saw them die for good, or perhaps even killed them himself.

* Why was Adam in such a hurry for Henry to kill someone? Because he wanted to die for good, and he thought the only way that might happen was if Henry were to kill him with his ''pugio''. If Henry wasn't willing to kill, then no matter how much Adam provoked him, he couldn't get what he wanted. So he manipulated Henry into killing in "Skinny Dipper" and then forced him into bringing him the ''pugio'' expecting Henry would use it to try to kill him….and then Henry didn't play his part!

Imagine Henry cuddling his son, smiling and laughing, then a shot rings out, and Henry finds himself in the water, ''his arms empty''??

* At 34 years old, when Henry had his first death, he was *at* the average life expectancy for Europe for 1770 to 1790. (Estimated average life expectancy in Europe was 33.3 in 1800, 35.6 in 1820, so in the year he died he was still right around average.) In 2015, living in New York, the average life expectancy was 79 years. Abe was supposed to be turning 70 early in 2015, so he was nine years below the average life expectancy. So, in a way, Henry was older when he died than Abe was in 2015.
