@@juniorross1358Being immortal sounds cool but, NOT this kind. Highlander immortals live in fear of their lives on a daily basis. Only a matter of time before someone comes after you and wins. Duncan only stays alive because he trains non-stop. Even then he finds himself on the ropes often, going up against terrifying opponents like Kalas and Xavier St. Cloud. The life of Highlander immortals is still cool as hell but, not what it's cracked up to be. In the end....there can be ONLY one.
In the classical MAGNUM PI series the misshandliing of the Porsche had beeh a standing running joke. Maybe the producers thought to copy the idea at first.
In the second half of the first season the writers and the production had found their way, their rhythm. The first half was still an experiment, trying to compress something in a TV show what existed only in the cinema so far.
"So, yeah... the police officer who tried to kill your wife turned up dead last night. Best we can figure it happened sometime after you turned up at our safehouse, you know, when you told us about the bomb he'd planted and exactly how much time it had left on it. In fact it was probably a little later, sometime after you asked us to give you some time alone before we questioned you about it. Funny thing was... the victim's head was severed using a weapon identical to the dozens of swords you have strung up in your antique's shop which we are, currently, standing in. . . . . . . . Bye."
And that is a reason the writers probably invented the Watchers who get rid of the bodies. This episode was created before they came to the show. If it was not for the Watchers the show probably would not have lasted as long as it did because it would stretch plausibility Duncan getting away with six seasons worth of killing immortals, and leaving their body where the police can find them.
Richie seriously bro? In all the time you've known Duncan he never stopped you and said "look Richie, there's an art to parallel parking. Line the rear doors up before you start turning the wheel." The beginning just kills me.
I always wondered how Duncan could just roll around the city, leaving a trail of decapitated bodies in his wake without getting caught: then 9:50 of this episode happened... Detective Dipshit harassing the witness to drop her statement, two motorcycle cops (why are they always motorcycle cops in this show?!?!?!) And some rando glancing over the pier and claiming they dragged the water; and all this happened SEVERAL HOURS after Tessa called it in. I get the feeling she did her speech BEFORE reporting the murder anyway. I love this show...but this city needs a Batman MORE than Gotham does!
I thought TESSA ( Alexandra Vandernoot ) had been a fine actress in her well played role. I have not liked it when she laft the show. Somehow I was glas when she reaapeared in the Paralledl World episodes towards the end of the show. Some say her earlier hairstyle was better, might be. This one was indeed more classical housewife like
If anybody noticed, this is the only episode where there is an immortal who is not new, and Macleod does NOT have any flashbacks of past run ins with this immortal or similar incident to remind him of the current situation.
no there is slan quince in the first episode and there was joes freind andrew cord fron season 4 then thers was that mentally challenged immortal mikey bellow also from season 4 that ducan did not know? and i think there is a couple more but thats all i can think of as of now ?
Depends on what the requirements of the plot. Like if it might be a small city block, but the plot needs it that distance will shrink if they want Duncan to notice another immortal as he walks in a room as opposed to when entering the building.
They should have made it so that the bodies of the decapitated immortals just dissolve in the energy rush of the quickening. It would have made things a lot easier - and many a story-line more believable, too : ). Hindsight is a great thing, isn't it? I still think the idea and the whole series are great though, despite its faults, and a lot of it is due to Adrian Paul's presence, too.
That's a good idea actually. Honestly, a Highlander series remake in [current year] would've been really good. Many flaws from the original series could be fixed, and many new issues, such as the difficulties of being an immortal in the world of total survelliance, could be raised. Add improved choreography of fights and some interesting characters and you'd have a really good show on your hands. Shame that even with the remake streak, nobody's doing it.
Man, it would be really hard to have a relationship with mortals that didn't know you were immortal. You can pretty much hide the sword fights, but you can't hide getting hurt and healing etc. Or all the random disappearances.
19:31 it's a camera mount. The long shots are short dolly moves. You can see the ring on top of the mount where the camera ball fits. The opposite angle shows a shallow empty corner, just big enough for a small dolly. You're good.
The show was great for seasons 1-3 then it went downhill from there, as a lot of successful tv shows typically do. The writers forget what made the show special (i.e. the interplay between the characters, the mysticism, the combination of action WITH light hearted moments of humor, love etc), they get lazy, the studio cuts the budget and then you get garbage as you must have seen in season 6. Even Adrian Paul wanted nothing to do with Highlander by season 6!
lol love that *AHAAA!!* 🙆🏼♀️ moment @22:10 when the Chief turns around and the camera 🎥 pans in on his face! 😏 🤷♀️ Aww c’mon, let’s at least _PRETEND_ that we *NEVER* saw that coming!? It’s all FICTION anyway! 🎉🥳😬
I like how no one ever is around at the fight scenes even though there are sparks and lightning and really loud noise. And in this episode, the light is on in the window behind them in the fight scene. Whoever was in there wasn't paying attention or what? "Hey, Fred, there are two guys running around with swords, should we call the cops?" "Naa, its fine, there probably matinence workers removing those lampposts." ***** "AAAHHHH Lightning!!!" "It's probably just a little short they're fixing."
🤣 lol Holly McDowell reminds me of the nosy neighbor talking to her husband (ugh! Can’t remember their names!) 🙄 on an old “Bewitched” episode! Hope *someone* remembers what i’m talking about!? 🤷♀️

they usually try to fight in places where people wont come across them but thoses places are getting smaller and smaller i think i read in one of the books they made based on the show that the watchers recruitment pool had jumped over the last 50 years and they were worried that the it would be soon impossible to hide the fact that the immortals existed
Love him or hate him that Cop gave Duncan a good duel . Very good back and forth, quite strategic . From his comments he was very much a head hunter hence his skill.
+Henry Williamson Yes, you are right, Tom Butler has done a great job, even if Ballin wasn't an ancient immortal. According to the Highlander Wiki he was only 82 years old, born 1911, immortal since 1944!
Randi's comment, "Call me crazy, but your name keeps popping up in police reports" She's not just a dumb blonde. She knows something is strange about Duncan. Yet, she is beginning to trust him. I wish she had replaced Tessa as Duncan's love interest after Tessa was killed.
@@Exodianecross1978 When Duncan went to Paris, it really didn't make sense for her to follow him there. (She was working for an American news network.) But after Tessa was killed, I wish she would have returned to the series. (If under no better excuse as to offer her condolences after Tessa died.) She would have been a much better replacement than the wishy-washy doctor. When the man came back from the dead, (which was were the doctor joined the cast) Randy's digging into the "miracle" would have been a logical reason to keep her in the cast. I'm sorry. I didn't have any use for the doctor. To me, she was an annoying whiner. Randy's questions and Duncan's sparing with her made for a better plot line. The anticipation of " will he tell her the truth about himself?"; "how will he tell her the truth?" and "how will she react when she knows he's an immortal?" were far more interesting than the doctor's feather brained insertion into the series. I don't know what Randy's contract negations were. However; I think it was a big mistake not to be bring her back to the series. She was fun to watch as a reporter when her path crossed with Duncan. They seemed to have mutual respect. I don't know if she could be written in as a lover, that might have been a disappointing if it wasn't well written. Maybe he could have "died" saving her life. At any rate, I enjoyed her and I think it was a big mistake writing her out of the series.
I always enjoyed watching Highlander The Series. I think the first 3 seasons were the best, then it started to go downhill with the quality of the writing for seasons 4, 5 and 6. My favorite is the 1st season as I really enjoyed watching Tessa, Duncan and Richie together, they made a great team and you could relate to the characters. It's a shame that Alexandra left the show so soon as I would like to have seen her character stay with Duncan across all seasons.
I think the quality lasted a bit longer than that, if only thanks to recurring guest star Peter Wingfield (I get the impression Methos was his all-time favorite role). The jump the shark moment was, I think, Richie's beheading at the end of season five.
It wouldn't have made sense for her to have been immortal too. Why wouldn't she have told him? Wouldn't he have sensed that she was immortal right from the start? In the first show, both Duncan and Connor hinted that they sensed that Ritchie had "a long lifeline." Richie was an orphan. His foster mother's husband, Jack, was immediately suspicious to Duncan. Duncan knew that Ritchie had to go make the search for his "real" father. Duncan was always nearby to protect Ritchie when he eventually would be disappointed. I wish I'd have a Duncan in my life when I began my search for my biological parents. It hurt so bad to be rejected by my "mother" again. I didn't even bother to waste any more of my time trying to find my father. They're probably both dead by now, but when I hear these "Right to Life" idiots who think that adoption is the solution for unwanted pregnancy, I want to tell them how painful their "fantasy" solution is. I'm not saying I'd be better off dead, but this idolization of adoption may make them feel good, but as one who lived through the experience of being raised by a mother who should have adopted a puppy, still has me suspicious of those who want a baby instead of rescuing a child from foster care.
39:06-39:50 is one of the best Duncan MacCleod not f*cking around moments this season. There are many and they are all great but this one of my favorites.
age dosent always factor in Richie had a pretty good count for being less then a decade old, i can say its probley from one of two things. 1) Duncan was out of the game for over a century hes known but could be seen as rusty. 2) training and experience a head hunter immortal is going to train learning new fighting styals and putting them into action if it came down to a fight between say Darius a immortal thats close to 2000 years old who hasn't touched a sword in over 1000 years or say Richie a 3 year old immortal who was well trained and has basically been fighting at least once a year sense his immortaly was triggered im going for Richie
@@seanbraley2772 Richie was also getting some training before he became immortal as I remember, and being aware of them before he actually was immortal weirdly might have helped, but I wish they did more fights with him and kept him around. It'd be an interesting viewpoint, a young immortal having to deal with others with literally centuries of experience over him (admittedly I've only seen the first two seasons).
@@DanteCorwyn thats what im saying a immortal who trains and fight regulatory will have the advantage over ones who dont sense they dont know each other before all he knows is the story hed have heard of the highlander and the main one would be that hes been out of the game for a hundred years hence his belief he stood a chance
Why is the black cop dressed like he's a 1940s detective in 1992 when the show is being produced LOL he is so out of place I keep expecting him to say the word gumshoe LOL
Haha - that's funny. It's like Batman (the early TV show) where they'd use big, fat labels on everything so the home viewer can identify what something is. "Access to the Batcave via Batpoles . . . Bruce . . . Dick" th-cam.com/video/mjKyGs-G6Sg/w-d-xo.html
Cinedigm Hi, I was just wondering if you have any other old shows like Neon Rider and Kung-fu: The Legend Continues? I'm sick of the new shows. They have far too much virtue signaling.
Nobody seems to notice the giant flaw here! There is no way a house will explode from a charge outside on the meter! It takes a huge accumulation of gas inside first, then just a spark will do.
The irony is that if Ballin had just told MacLeod, "Yeah, man, I hated to do it, but she was going to expose immortals to the world. What was I supposed to do?", there's a decent chance Mac would have let him walk . . .
Ballin was a mixed bag. Seems like a bad guy but in a way even most good immortals would have understood Cause people have realized there are others like Ballin if they knew what he really was
no, because she was going to expose them *only* if he did not stay with her. For an immortal the time that she had to live was nothing. He could stay with her see her die and be done with it: no need to kill her. The problem is that he values a minute of his life more than her life, a mark of a sociopath.
@@jaimeduncan6167 true. Plus when Duncan said How many other mortals have you killed ? Ballin 's response being Does it Matter ? Showed Ballin only cared about himself and implied Anne wasnt only mortal he has killed in cold blood.
@eggiex1 Probably that being a cop is a good job for an Immortal? A body trail might be easier to cover up from the inside. That and positions of power like a Sheriff or Police Chief are easy to abuse if your a person with less than stellar morals like both those Immortal happen to have been.
Though the background checks are probably more stringent and you're around people who are (meant to be) more observant than average. Though I loved the classic "Bomb with visible digital timer".
Gotta wonder how they manage to keep up the masquerade, what with the collateral damage you inevitably get from a Quickening. Really, I've been wondering since I watched the original film.
The parts of Richie and the girl he picks up put a drag on this episode. I always fast forward it. He could have been absent at the key points in the story - when Tessa meets Ann and sees her pushed off the bridge. His romance adds nothing to the story.
He must be the sloppiest immortal ever. Can't shake off a woman following her, commits murder in the open, goes to a safehouse in a car and plants a bomb, may have done the same thing over several times.
Duncan first died at 30 so assuming he hasn’t aged for 400 years, old lady could have assumed he was 10 or younger twenty years ago. Which is enough to think a kid wouldn’t remember a specific painting
he and Tessa don't look that different in age yet people "think" shes the older woman in the relationship Connor was 16 when he became immortal according to the original script Duncan was a little older in his 20's so in universe he would have been a little kid
To all you highlander fans it's great to see this show back on youtube four all to injoy
Thanks again for posting the episodes. I'm having a blast!
I love how his voice changes, "Because he's not coming for me, Ritchie. He's coming for you, Tess." 😂😂
i love this episode
Wish I was immortal
Glad to see am not the only one who heard that

This is one of the episodes where the writing started getting waaaaay better.

yeah in real life Duncan would be facing a grand Jury ,,
The way I see it, there's some kind of magic shroud that clouds the minds of mortals. I call the "don't worry about it shroud".
Nah, Frank Castle would save him.
Richie seriously bro? In all the time you've known Duncan he never stopped you and said "look Richie, there's an art to parallel parking. Line the rear doors up before you start turning the wheel." The beginning just kills me.

I think the quality lasted a bit longer than that, if only thanks to recurring guest star Peter Wingfield (I get the impression Methos was his all-time favorite role). The jump the shark moment was, I think, Richie's beheading at the end of season five.
A heroic swordsman is not meant for domestic bliss, much better plot and adventure potential with a single Duncan.
The "OUT OF ORDER" left me speechless.
I thought it was very funny!
Broke my heart when Tess says "I'll leave you first" what a shame, she should have been the immortal one, not Richie
Alexandra wanted out because of personal reasons, so Tessa had died anyway.
It wouldn't have made sense for her to have been immortal too. Why wouldn't she have told him? Wouldn't he have sensed that she was immortal right from the start?
In the first show, both Duncan and Connor hinted that they sensed that Ritchie had "a long lifeline." Richie was an orphan. His foster mother's husband, Jack, was immediately suspicious to Duncan. Duncan knew that Ritchie had to go make the search for his "real" father. Duncan was always nearby to protect Ritchie when he eventually would be disappointed.
I wish I'd have a Duncan in my life when I began my search for my biological parents. It hurt so bad to be rejected by my "mother" again. I didn't even bother to waste any more of my time trying to find my father.
They're probably both dead by now, but when I hear these "Right to Life" idiots who think that adoption is the solution for unwanted pregnancy, I want to tell them how painful their "fantasy" solution is. I'm not saying I'd be better off dead, but this idolization of adoption may make them feel good, but as one who lived through the experience of being raised by a mother who should have adopted a puppy, still has me suspicious of those who want a baby instead of rescuing a child from foster care.
I want more pls n I used to watch it in Ghana wen I was a little boy
Swords cutting through lamp posts!?!... What are they, lightsabers?
Does anyone noticed that Duncan never kills a immortal in his shop?
Kyle Campbell that's because it's the same site he built his cabin on which is holy grounds.
Mmmm, nevermind. 😏
dude, blood spilled everywhere. need to clean that up.
Wakky Wabbit lol! 🙄
He likes it clean and tidy
where was the place they fought with the dome of lights?
I've been to Vancouver and it's really nice.
Science World. Vancouver, BC, Canada around 1992.
Bruh, that beat while Richie bumps that mercedes in the beginning. Man this show was/is great lol
The pyrotecs must of had soooooooo much fun making this series ❤!!!!!! I bet they hate cgi!!!!!
"Things change...Use is while you can" i.e. once your beauty fades, your artist endeavors will dry up!
39:06-39:50 is one of the best Duncan MacCleod not f*cking around moments this season. There are many and they are all great but this one of my favorites.
I love how he shoves the gun at the other cop like it's in his way.
this immortal in the chronicles has less than 100 years old, he sounds very confident against duncan been so young
It's always undefeated versus undefeated. Plus, only takes about 40 years to be a master swordsman.
@@efisgpr many of them have been defeated and survived some run when they realize they can't win or survive because the battle is interrupted.
age dosent always factor in Richie had a pretty good count for being less then a decade old, i can say its probley from one of two things. 1) Duncan was out of the game for over a century hes known but could be seen as rusty. 2) training and experience a head hunter immortal is going to train learning new fighting styals and putting them into action if it came down to a fight between say Darius a immortal thats close to 2000 years old who hasn't touched a sword in over 1000 years or say Richie a 3 year old immortal who was well trained and has basically been fighting at least once a year sense his immortaly was triggered im going for Richie
@@seanbraley2772 Richie was also getting some training before he became immortal as I remember, and being aware of them before he actually was immortal weirdly might have helped, but I wish they did more fights with him and kept him around. It'd be an interesting viewpoint, a young immortal having to deal with others with literally centuries of experience over him (admittedly I've only seen the first two seasons).
@@DanteCorwyn thats what im saying a immortal who trains and fight regulatory will have the advantage over ones who dont sense they dont know each other before all he knows is the story hed have heard of the highlander and the main one would be that hes been out of the game for a hundred years hence his belief he stood a chance
No flashbacks in this one.
Duncan, did you decapitate yet someone else? I have my suspicions.
...
Ah well. Donut time.
-cop.
The later Tessa was talking to... Wasn't that the Grandmother from Charmed?
Tessa is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏
For real a true beauty!
how that passenger window get fixed so fast? that t bird must be immortal too
not only that , in the next scene Mac is shot in front meantime the shooter is at his back?
This made me laugh my ass off i about put my truck in reverse and hit the ol ladys car behind me in a stupper
Why is the black cop dressed like he's a 1940s detective in 1992 when the show is being produced LOL he is so out of place I keep expecting him to say the word gumshoe LOL
I was just thinking that.
Haha - that's funny. It's like Batman (the early TV show) where they'd use big, fat labels on everything so the home viewer can identify what something is. "Access to the Batcave via Batpoles . . . Bruce . . . Dick" th-cam.com/video/mjKyGs-G6Sg/w-d-xo.html
Yeahhh but Tim Reid could pull _anything_ off! He was a great actor! So handsome too! 🥰
46:24 very Bogart.
smh
@fun4thefeet it wasn't a reporter, it was a photographer. I think the episode is called studies in light.
Cinedigm Hi, I was just wondering if you have any other old shows like Neon Rider and Kung-fu: The Legend Continues? I'm sick of the new shows. They have far too much virtue signaling.
I'd love to re-watch Kung Fu :The Legend Continues or even the original.
@@DeanCainLover
The legend continues would be great. I loved it.
Nobody seems to notice the giant flaw here! There is no way a house will explode from a charge outside on the meter! It takes a huge accumulation of gas inside first, then just a spark will do.
I imagine the bomb gave the spark...but perhaps the explosion is too cinematographic, as usuall...(never mind, immortals does not exist too)
yeah, forgot about that, good point
The irony is that if Ballin had just told MacLeod, "Yeah, man, I hated to do it, but she was going to expose immortals to the world. What was I supposed to do?", there's a decent chance Mac would have let him walk . . .
Ballin was a mixed bag.
Seems like a bad guy but in a way even most good immortals would have understood
Cause people have realized there are others like Ballin if they knew what he really was
no, because she was going to expose them *only* if he did not stay with her. For an immortal the time that she had to live was nothing. He could stay with her see her die and be done with it: no need to kill her. The problem is that he values a minute of his life more than her life, a mark of a sociopath.
@@jaimeduncan6167 true.
Plus when Duncan said
How many other mortals have you killed ?
Ballin 's response being
Does it Matter ?
Showed Ballin only cared about himself and implied Anne wasnt only mortal he has killed in cold blood.
Watching that endfight again and again - is it me or are the same moves repeated a couple of times or the same shots just taken from different angles.
Geez KazeriantheVIIII. _pick pick pick._ 🙄
To their credit, they edited it in such a way that you don't notice it at first, and they kept the fight very entertaining.
@eggiex1 Probably that being a cop is a good job for an Immortal? A body trail might be easier to cover up from the inside. That and positions of power like a Sheriff or Police Chief are easy to abuse if your a person with less than stellar morals like both those Immortal happen to have been.
Though the background checks are probably more stringent and you're around people who are (meant to be) more observant than average.
Though I loved the classic "Bomb with visible digital timer".
Why is it that the other seasons are private now?
What is the name of the reporter? She keeps showing up, but I don't see her in the credits..
01:27
nice parking job
RICHIE
exacty under two minutes, lol
Gotta wonder how they manage to keep up the masquerade, what with the collateral damage you inevitably get from a Quickening. Really, I've been wondering since I watched the original film.
it's Venus fly trap.. ha ha
The parts of Richie and the girl he picks up put a drag on this episode. I always fast forward it. He could have been absent at the key points in the story - when Tessa meets Ann and sees her pushed off the bridge. His romance adds nothing to the story.
When tv had a reason to watch
where did the green car go?
RIP Stan kirch
He must be the sloppiest immortal ever. Can't shake off a woman following her, commits murder in the open, goes to a safehouse in a car and plants a bomb, may have done the same thing over several times.
Well he is quite young. Only became immortal in ww2 and not even a 100 years old yet.
Love this series and all the actors, but its McLeod who Carrie's the show
Hes so kool; reminds me of James Bond.he should of been James Bond.
Liked his hair !
It would be interesting to see what "Myth-busters" can do with swords that can supposedly hack through a steel post,,,,,
Duncan does not look too young to have seen an art exhibit 20 years ago...
Duncan first died at 30 so assuming he hasn’t aged for 400 years, old lady could have assumed he was 10 or younger twenty years ago. Which is enough to think a kid wouldn’t remember a specific painting
he and Tessa don't look that different in age yet people "think" shes the older woman in the relationship Connor was 16 when he became immortal according to the original script Duncan was a little older in his 20's so in universe he would have been a little kid
I agree he could have had just great youthful looking skin to him!
Why does the Paris Police have an American police officer with an American accent?
Adrian Paul makes the show! It becomes believable .
