New fan here and I am extremely saddened to hear this. It must have been very hard for long time fans. It makes his character so much more sad considering the bad things he's gone through as of series 4 of the show
@@carlrood4457There's a reason for that. That was the same sword that Richie tried to steal in the pilot episode. Duncan gave it to him as he earned it rightfully.
“I was born 400 years ago in the highlands of Scotland. I am IMMORTAL and I’m not alone. Now is time of the GATHERING, when the stroke of the sword will unleash the power of the QUICKENING. In the end, there can be only one.” - Duncan Macleod
"He's immortal. Born 400 years ago in the Highlands of Scotland, and he's not alone. There are others like him, some good, some evil. For centuries he's battled the forces of darkness, with holy ground his only refuge. He cannot die unless you take his head, and with it his power. In the end, there can be only one. He's Duncan McLeod, the Highlander." - Joe Dawson
“I was born before 1600 in the Highlands of Scotland, and I am still alive. I am Immortal and I am not alone. For four hundred years, I have fought, loved, wondered, explored and avenged. Now, I have found the woman of my dreams, but we are always in danger. For centuries, I have battled the Dark Immortals, with Holy Ground my only refuge. Soon will be the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and the fall of a head, will release the power of the Quickening. I am Owen MacLeod, the Highlander. In the end, there can be only one.” -Owen MacLeod
@user-er4uw4vx3r Yes, sadly. My dad was in the Air Force and we lived on Air Force Base housing during those growing up years when shows like Highlander were on. The base where my dad spent 17 out of his 20 years of service was decommissioned in 2001. The commissary and Base Exchange remained open for active duty personnel and retirees, but this November the Base Exchange closed. My dad says it won't be long before the commissary follows. That Base was a central part of our lives for so long, seeing it get decommissioned and watching all the amenities all the service personnel and their families used to enjoy get closed down like the swimming pool, the movie theater, the library, the bowling alley, the Base chapel, the shoppette, etc; it's like an old friend falling into a permanent coma and their organs shutting down one by one.
My dad used to watch this show in the 90s, I was a kid so I don't remember much except the theme song was badazz and the Duncan Macleod guy was not only handsome but a good actor. Now I'm 34 and I finally watched the movie for the 1st time! I LOVE IT!!! I don't like sci-fi or fantasy, just not my thing. This whole time I assumed the movie was some nerdy scifi sh!t but it's really not. Maybe I'll watch the show someday.
2019 I loved this show to say the least......watched it every Sunday 1100 pm with my Daddy in 1995-1999 t help make me into a modern day warrior.......for real in real life
@@biocapsule7311 They did introduce something lore-breaking, Ahriman. Gods were not supposed to be a thing in the Highlander lore, all gods were in fact immortals yet Ahriman showed up out of nowhere.
God Bless this Series Run, may Henry Cavill not diminish but enhance the legacy of this saga..... Duncan MacLeod probably has so many decades of stories yet to be seen.......
...what an excellent work Sir Adrian Paul did with this TV series; and the follow-up work which Elizabeth Amber Gracen portrayed with her role, "Amanda", was an excellent compliment to "Highlander" :)

Somebody tell me, what explodes at 2:00, 5:23? Seen all episodes and did not see this, also Richie jumping though the window - filmed just for intro? Nevermind, its from highlander II movie around 28 minutes in.
My Dad, his sister and his mother all watched this show every episode. To this day I will always remember the Methos Ken doll my dad made for his sister as a gag Christmas gift (he actually did a great job!)
Man, if I was an immortal, I'd surely care a heavy steel armor in my bag pack - always, with nice neck protection... How come none of them got that idea?
Watch any of these intros an listen with the full song here is the first part of the song lyrics [Here we are, born to be kings We're the princes of the universe Here we belong, fighting to survive in a world with the darkest powers Heh] an tell me this doesn't sound better
Peter Wingfield was in seasons 3-6. It was only in season 6 that he was credited in the opening series intro, rather than as just a guest star in each episode's credits 😉
DNA constantly changes through the eugenics of mating/breeding and evolution. plus it dies. The definition of immortal is never dying or decaying. I understand the sentiment of your comment, be it one of an optimistic perspective...and I'm not trying to take a shit on it or be argumentative. Just a truth bearer. The concept of immortality was constructed probably out of fear. It is an impossibility of universal/ natural law.
The show's about globetrotting immortals who are constantly getting into headhunting fights. Some of them are bound to acquire blades outside of their homelands.
Stan Kirsch and Richie Rian will be both Immortal in our hearts ♥ May he rest in peace.
I can't believe he took his own life.
Rest in peace
so sad he committed suicide
New fan here and I am extremely saddened to hear this. It must have been very hard for long time fans. It makes his character so much more sad considering the bad things he's gone through as of series 4 of the show
I forgot about Stan who passed away.
Everyone thinks they're bad ass until this song starts playing and a 1,000 year-old dude with a sword comes around the corner.
LMAO 🤣
Hell YEAH!!!!
There can be only one.
Duncan showing Richie how to handle a sword=best moment in any of the intros.
The scene afterwards when they are sitting, smiling and laughing is my fav.
Then he gives him a completely different style sword, rendering most of that training irrelevant.
@@carlrood4457There's a reason for that. That was the same sword that Richie tried to steal in the pilot episode. Duncan gave it to him as he earned it rightfully.
Yoh I remember watching this as kid . It's so nice to randomly stumble upon something dear you forgot .
When someone remembers you, that's what it means to be truly immortal.
As I get older, yes you are correcr.
No, true immortality means that a part of you will still be here when you're gone.

God I remember watching this with my brothers! It was religion. Never missed s show!
Better story than any religion too!
Me too. Those memories with our families seem like a distant dream, don’t they?
Same. My two older brothers' impact on my developing tastes at that time in my life is immeasurable, I feel their influences on me to this day.

The intro keeps getting better! Love this series! Roger Daltrey is a great singer/actor!
Stan Kirsch: In Memoriam.
One of the greatest memories of 1997.Syndicated T.V..
Facts on this show.

R.I.P Stan Kirsch. The series jumped the shark with Richie's death.
@dreamx3mlegend It means they reached the peak and it was all downhill, it comes from the happy days episode.
I wouldn't say 'jump the shark' but Richie's death was vastly annoying. Jump the shark would require them to do something massively not lore friendly.
@@biocapsule7311 They did introduce something lore-breaking, Ahriman. Gods were not supposed to be a thing in the Highlander lore, all gods were in fact immortals yet Ahriman showed up out of nowhere.
i could listen to this all day
Same here
Ditto!
Season 2 intro is by far the best.
God Bless this Series Run, may Henry Cavill not diminish but enhance the legacy of this saga..... Duncan MacLeod probably has so many decades of stories yet to be seen.......
Should just reboot it and tell the story of Duncan in a 5-6 season series ending with the last season focusing on the gathering.
the font and credit style of the openings from 0:00 - 4:07 are the most 90s thing I have ever seen.
Queen!!!!
This message is to the people of my own self always remember that their only can be one of us™
There can only be one..
...what an excellent work Sir Adrian Paul did with this TV series; and the follow-up work which Elizabeth Amber Gracen portrayed with her role, "Amanda", was an excellent compliment to "Highlander" :)
She became next Highlander
Joe Dawson will always be the watcher.
One of my favorite TV shows what has grown up in my teens.
season 6 of highlander has 13 episodes
5:30 best intro ever!
For centuries we've waited for Thanksgiving gatherings
I have inside me blood of kings
Yeah…yeah
Adrian is so fine, especially when handling a sword.
And That Music from Queen was - and is - The Best!
4:09 the best intro
best intro ever
9:37 is better :)
Absolutely. It's the one I always think of when remembering the show.
That's the worst one, must be the American one.
Agreed. That's the one I think of when I think of this show.
i stil believe Richie is stil out there somewhere with a sword of course
I am watching these online and the first episode seems to start with the style redesign.
Ducan McCloud and coner Mccloud are Related from the show and movie highlander time-line... if you knew like#
i'm here for queen
"He is immortal. Born in the Highlands of Scotland in 400 years ago, he is not alone. There are others like him - some good, some evil. For centuries, he has battled the forces of darkness, with Holy Ground his only refuge. He cannot die, unless you take his head, and with it, his power. In the end, there can be only one. He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander."
OMFG... impossible to get a version without sounds over the music (sword clashing or explosions)
And I don't want the whole Queen's version either...
I'm a prince of the universe I'm immortal have no rivals destined to b ruler of u all
I have both Highlander and Highlander the Raven
Dang good show
Best one is at 9:37
Somebody tell me, what explodes at 2:00, 5:23? Seen all episodes and did not see this, also Richie jumping though the window - filmed just for intro?
Nevermind, its from highlander II movie around 28 minutes in.
The Ritchie shot is definitely from an episode, but I don't recall which one.
ManticoreEscapee Season 2 Episode 5 - Eye For An Eye featuring Sheena Easton as Annie Devlin.
@@ll7868 the one Scottish person they get plays an Irish lassie.
@@themadplotter 😂
scene with richie jumping through the window was from the episode eye for an eye
10:54 Damn, Joe is shredded
I taught Duncan &richy all I knew but held back some things
4:08 is the one I remember the most.
My Dad, his sister and his mother all watched this show every episode. To this day I will always remember the Methos Ken doll my dad made for his sister as a gag Christmas gift (he actually did a great job!)
Man, if I was an immortal, I'd surely care a heavy steel armor in my bag pack - always, with nice neck protection... How come none of them got that idea?

@Mercenary I don't mind.

Immorality is a double-edged sword. Apologies for the pun. Not really.

Heh] an tell me this doesn't sound better
if they make a season 7 of highlander charlie's daughter will come back
I haven't watched the show since I was a teenager and forgot Peter Wingfield was in the last season. He was such a douche as Tanith in Stargate: SG-1.
Peter Wingfield was in seasons 3-6. It was only in season 6 that he was credited in the opening series intro, rather than as just a guest star in each episode's credits 😉
Highlanderrrr=here we r we r all norm to b kings n princescofths univeres

Alexandra Vandernoot was removed before Philip Akin when her character was killed off in season 2.
Philip Akin actually came onto The Series in the episode "Turnabout", the episode before Tessa died.
Awwww sweeties u love me
Queen is the greatest band ever
I'm destined to b king
scotish but uses a japanese katana.
To find out why watch S3 episode 1 “the samurai”. One of the best episodes.
The show's about globetrotting immortals who are constantly getting into headhunting fights. Some of them are bound to acquire blades outside of their homelands.
