Highlander

Direct link to my latest: The Stone of Scone.

When Highlander was good, it was exceptional. The tango on the Eiffel Tower. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Methos romancing Mary Shelley at the Byron-Shelley ghost party. Okay, pretty much every episode with Methos. Fitz and Amanda too, for that matter. It took the writers and producers awhile to find their niche, but they finally did. Highlander was best when it was about the lifestyles and personalities of the immortals. What sort of person has the endurance for immortality? Who really wants to live forever?

Even though I love the show (just watching the amazing-looking Adrian Paul with a sword can be akin to a religious experience), I'm the first to admit that the quality of the show varied a great deal and the first two seasons were bloody awful. My favorite character wasn't even introduced until late in season three. (And if you know the series, I'm sure you know who that is.) If you're new to Highlander and want to skip the worst, I've listed the episodes you'll need to watch for continuity. Or... you could just start with season three.

The series will always be a favorite of mine. The movies? Not so much, although I'm mildly fond of the first one as well as Endgame. Take my advice: stay far away from the second movie. It's nearly as bad as Plan 9 from Outer Space. In fact, it practically is Plan 9 from Outer Space.
