One of my favorite episodes. Nigel Terry was great and I always like the episodes where Duncan has to fight an old friend even when he may not want to.
"You know how you fight an Immortal?" "With your wits, and cunning." "You take out your gun and you shoot him in the chest. And you shoot him again, and again. And when he rises..." "I shoot him again?" "No. You run like hell." Awesome exchange! But seriously, kudos to Richie for surprising us all and setting that Immortal on fire...
This was the very first episode of the series I'd ever seen, found it by accident while looking for something interesting to watch on TV one afternoon back in 2015. I knew about the movies but had no idea there was a series until then. Nigel Terry played King Arthur in EXCALIBUR (1981). R.I.P. Nigel Terry (1945-2015).
Yes. Excalibur. A classic movie that unjustly has not attained the compliment known as "Classic." Good script; Good cinemaphotography; good musical scores/soundtrack.
What a tons of very high quality artist & musician here in Highlander! Absolutely as a milenial, I'm in love with this movies. Thank you Queen, thank you Mr. Producer, thank you all of you guys that involved in making this movies! This is the best movies & serial TV ever!
Loved the fact that they played "She Drives Me Crazy" by the 90's British rock group Fine Young Cannibals. Lead singer Roland Gift ended up playing the role of the evil Immortal Xavier St. Cloud, the thorn in MacLeod's side in later episodes. He was killed off at some point but his character became so popular they invited him to appear as St. Cloud in historical flashback stories. Like Hugh Fitzcairn he appeared in Highlander more times dead than alive.
What is the series had been written but Richie Ryan was a regular mortal but McLeod made him immortal to save his life also I think they could have spoken French better than that god-awful dubbing and they shouldn't have had the same with the Watchers

Silly! Who _didn’t_ know rafterscott?! ... AWW! You must be a young ‘un!? Well anyhoo, “Welcome to my GENNNERATION!!” Ps: You’re gonna wanna google “The Who” for that 🎶song. And QUEEN! YESSSS!! Both of these bands: 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🥳
Great choice in music lol. Always loved that song. Reminds me of someone that drove me crazy for years and she was hotter then anyone on this show. Fortunately I am still and she is not!!!! Karma is beautiful.
34:10 Foreshadowing. Richie wielding Duncan's sword, pretending to be an Immortal. In a few short years, it won't be a pretense anymore. That look Duncan had on his face when he saw him, knowing that one day Richie might become a player in the Game for real, wondering how he would handle Richie's transition on that day, how Richie would handle it...
1st episode it is revealed richie is an immortal. it is at the end Conner tells Duncan that the boy will have to be looked after. or something like that.
@@lloydthomas2896 They learned some choreographed "movie fencing" usually based slightly on the styles those weapons were used but it's still not based on real sword play. Check out some Historical European Martial Arts tournaments here on youtube for a more accurate look at what swords fights might have looked like....with some rules and protective gear tossed in. :)
Every one is very choreographed and level according to the visiting actor's skill. There are some fights where you can tell the guest sucked because it was pretty much Duncan wailing on the other person's still sword.
Amazing show and episode . That was awesome and surprising , when Ritchie set the immortal on fire , so he could escape. He was very smart indeed ! I liked it when Duncan said to Richie (Noone's has ever beheaded themselves before; though you might make history! It was sad to see Duncan get upset, after he had to kill his old friend!
Most of that list needed to die. With Sean Burns, it was under the Dark Quickening influence. With Richie it was because that demon took Richie's form, and Duncan thought it was the demon until it was too late. Connor wanted Duncan to kill him, and trapped him with the unstoppable move that he taught him.
@@lauriedavis400 They started getting better with the quickening effects by this point in season 1 and 2. Compare to the quickenings in earlier episodes.
@mrrictus I saw this and couldnt believe it myself, it was great to see im again...and if you watch, He even shows some of the same facial expressions he made in Excalibur.....
Good ol Richie, that boy does have some cunning from his larcenous days--the kid has a way of growing on you. He's the closest thing to a son Duncan will ever have. And after episode 4 of season two, Richie will need all the cunning he can muster.
I don't know what's right, but FYI, imdb.com says Eye of the Beholder is 5/8/1993, AFTER Avenging Angel 5/1/1993, not that they're always right, being fan-contributed.
It won't let me play this episode. It says it's not playable because of a complaint on the copyright. I hope the same thing doesn't start to happen to the other episodes. I'm so happy to find these. I was bummed that they took them off Netflix. Always been a huge fan.
Makes more sense than the sword Richie wields for most of his time as an Immortal. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure a rapier is even worse for such a task than a saber.
So no alibi for the first murder and a known aquintence of first victim. Second victim would have been known and could be placed at his residence by 4 cops and a kid who accused him of the first murder who would have been in lock up during the murder??? Not a smart killer.
they dont think an earring from the deceased is enough to go to the police? she left with two...one is in the guy's apartment...and he said he never saw her. come on now
hahha Richie pretending that hes conner. I wish conner would be in more episodes of Highlander. I would of love to see some seens with Conner and Richie. It was pretty cheesy that he was in only the first episode! Also some seens with Conner and Joe the Watcher and Methos.

Dayum... Tribute to Roland Gift + Xavier St. Cloud + very obvious callback for his character... 😂😂😂😂 Loved the series all those years ago, still love it a quarter of a century (and more) later.
That plot device was kind of obvious though... Pitone could have just let her go then forget about it. No point in killing someone who was in love with you who would probably never snitch be it all on good terms. Now he gotta go kill a buncha other people over a painting. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️

Very sad 😓
He offed himself he probably isn't resting in peace. RIP Alan Kaiser. He was killed by a 🐀
Of course. "She Drives Me Crazy" was sung by the Fine Young Cannibals. The lead vocalist was Roland Gift, who played the immortal Xavier St. Cloud.
I like him he has a crafty look about him

OMG, that was him?? He played a good immortal. I'm totally surprised.
This show had so many legendary underrated guest stars
Nigel Terry, such a great actor!
He died over 4 years ago.
Also had a pretty good although short lived series of his own called "Covington Cross" sort of a Medieval version of "Bonanza"

The intro still kick ass after all these years ... Agreed ?
One the best fights of the season
At 8:00, who knew Xavier St.Cloud could sing like that? :-)
is a band member of the fine young cannibals a 80s band
Everyone who ever listened to the Fine Young Cannibals?

There was no gas ;-)
I doubt he ever heard him sing. Funny reference nonetheless!
Was thinking that as well
A series ahead of its time, every much as good as present-day efforts, the flashback scenes are particularly excellent with cinema like quality.
I love when Duncan gets pissed and gets his lectures on
LMAO I love Richie's Chris Lambert impression
Haha yeah ".same clan, different vintage." Classic :)
Spot on too lol

Ritchie was funnier than ever before playing blind and playing Duncan: I am Duuunnncan...I am Connneeer
the duel was quite good.
Good episode. Nice fight scene at the end, very theatrical and dramatic.

Locktwiste72 yeah totally
What made the transition worse, the fact that it happened after Tessa was killed
Yeah, there were many hints towards Richie being immortal throughout the first season.
1st episode it is revealed richie is an immortal. it is at the end Conner tells Duncan that the boy will have to be looked after. or something like that.
It's wild how you miss those little bits of the story and you only see how it fits together when you're binging the series years later.
The first true "Richie-sode" after the backstory.
Thanks for putting these on. Speaks volumes of the show quality that even guest actors learned fencing skills appropriate for their weapon.
It’s like learning a dance. And everyone better dance well or someone gets hurt.

The best show 💪💯😍
Paul does stupid drunk very well.
That must have been one hell of a party...belly dancers, a dwarf, and hot chicks with big 'uns!

gabriel is king arthur from excalibur.
Yes. Nigel Terry (RIP).
He was on Troy TOO! On of the Trojan priests to Preeam .
Wow, I KNEW I recognized him. I finally put that puzzle together , thanks.
He was also in the Doctor Who episode "The Doctor's Daughter."
so cool to have rolland gift music (fine young cannibals)when he appeared on the show like 4 or 5 times
This episode reminded me of interview with the vampire :D
400 years old and dude never learned how to stop drop and roll.
Cool fight.

great!! now Mcloud knows dress making
Ermm..me name is...ah..Drunken MacCloud....(hiccup)

Well, for starters stop fucking things up Richie lol 🤣

Reverse grip smallsword in the flashback... now I've seen everything! Fun scene tho :)
I know right? Like they could even behead anyone with a small sword, even one that had a bit of a blade to cut with lol.
I think Nigel Terry also played young King John in The Lion in Winter.
And King Arthur in 1981's Excalibur.

Richie went to jail for Miya and she just dips I would of been 😡.
Typical bitch
To be fair, she never asked him for his help or to do any of what he was doing. He took all of that on himself.
He outed her to the murderer and nearly got her killed. You are a smart guy.
Raven was the series with Jeffery Meek and it was on CBS in 1990.
I am not sure that a saber can actually sever a head. It's a deadly weapon, but it takes not just sharpness, but weight to do it.
Makes more sense than the sword Richie wields for most of his time as an Immortal. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure a rapier is even worse for such a task than a saber.

Raiden was played by Jeffery meek in the T.v series not Nigel terry the guy playin Gabriel...lol I loved both series
