Me too. This show taught me much about what real honor is. And to not just look at history in general but look at one's own history to learn from. And so much more. Those that don't see the lessons whether they were intentional or not by the writers/production aren't paying attention. But this can be said for other shows/stories too. Many people just turn off their brains to be "entertained".

i read somewhere that adrian paul decided duncan would smile as a way to taunt and mess with the opponents, if he's smiling they think he's having fun, if they think he's having fun, they think their not doing as well, and it gets in their head, worries them, and makes them slip up, this is a real tactic some fighters use sometimes, grinning and joking during a fight to throw the opponent off their game
Upon entering an incorrect access code to my computer, it responds "There Can Be Only One"... upon entering the correct code it responds "Greatings! I Am Juan Sanchez Villa Lobos Remeiez, Chief Meataurgest to King Charles V of Spain and I am at your Service"... all in Sir Sean Connery's voice of course.
I read another comment, it said "When Duncan senses another immortal and stops to look around, i stop and look around too." I've started to do the same, so have others. It makes my smile. Join in!
I have loved this episode forever. I would stay up late to watch Highlander. I think I just loved watching him kick ass. Then I realized I really loved the flashbacks and became obsessed with history. I loved Tessa but I LOVE Amanda. I love her and Macleod together.
lol oh no! This is one of those episodes that has _so many_ cute and funny lines i could be typing all day! MUST. STOP. MYSELF. ... ... _whew!_ OK. It’s OK now. The crisis has passed. ... ... but this WAS a really humorous episode, don’tcha think?? 🥳
One of the things I really enjoyed about this show (and it's spinoff) is how it showcased the early career of actors who are prominent now. Not necessarily "A List" but immediately recognizeable. Like the car thief...
Def, like this episode with a ‘baby’ Jason Issacs aka Lucius Malfoy Sr of Harry Potter fame…Jason is a very good actor. I enjoyed his Brit tv series called “Case Histories” where he plays a private investigator in Scotland. Very good action series.
I was thinking that until I loked back and realized that McCloud interfered in her fight. She was ready to fight when the prick pulled a gun. So technically she was within the rules.
@@poseidon5003 wouldnt been a fight she would been shot and beheaded so macleod saved her life like he was always doing especially against luther in legacy so she is a thief lol
jason issacs was born to play villians. he just looks and sounds so delicously evil and he has aged really well. he still looks pretty much the same now as when he made this. maybe he really is immortal.
Originally, she was supposed to be a one episode "villain of the week," but when the writers saw how good Elizabeth Gracen played the part, and what the potential chemstry was with Duncan, they kept writing her into the scripts. It was good for the series. Without Amanda and Methos, the series would have gotten very old very fast. At times Amanda and Methos practically carry the series, and become more popular and likable than Duncan himself.
Funny how little Jason Isaacs has changed, between Highlander in the early 1990's, and ST: Discovery, nearly 30 years later. It's almost as if he has barely aged at all... 🤔🤣🤣🤣
lol Amanda completely busts herself @47:42. The way she lovingly gazes up into MacLeod’s eyes 🥺 (secretly hoping he’ll ask her to stay) ... this thirsty chick has got it _BAD!!_ 😏
How can I put this without being vulgar. Amanda appeared to be having "the vapors" while watching Duncan fight. 😉 And that cocky look he gave her at 45:33 have me the vapors. 😍😍 *swoon*
Trying to get him away from Tessa, to spare him the heartbreak of her growing old and dying, is the best thing Amanda tried to do for Mac (that we know of)
@@davidaston5773 Duncan had mortal loves before, Tessa was the latest of them. But Duncan would choose Debra anytime over Tessa. Amanda was the immortal love, that is always there when it matters.
Perfectly adequate. The Katana isn't going to cut through it. Maybe pierce but you'd have to put so much effort into it you'd leave yourself wide open for a counter attack. The myths of the Katana are just myths.
Actually Duncan sensed Ritchie first then Slan according to the writers of the series. At least that is what they said at Comic Con once in San Diego, CA.
12:46 ALEXANDRA VANDERNOOT and ELISABETH GRACEN both aced that role down to the point. I loved the looks they had thrown at each other. If that were for real both needed a weapon licence for it ::) Stan Kirsch really overplayed his role here as usual in those cases. But I guess that was done intentiously to give the scene a funny twist at the end.
@FlameAdder According the writers the aura Duncan actually felt in the first episode was Slan Quince ....It was only when Ritchie became more popular they decided on him being a pre immortal .
Jason Issacs, British from Liverpool. Very Very busy actor. His list of credits on IMDB since 1986 is several pages long. A good actor too, since we never noticed him until he was Lucius Malfoy. Has James Bond potential.
@42:30 DUNCAN: OOPS!! (when he “accidentally” misses catching the coin he tossed in the air) 🚨🚔🚨🚔🚨🚔🚨 AMANDA: 😖 lol remember that part? So yeah, that was funny. 😬
OUR DEAR CINEDIGM, I'M BEGINNING TO ADMIRE ADRIAN PAUL A.K.A. HIGHLANDER. I FIND HIS CHARACTER AMAZING. NOW, I WONDER IF YOU COULD FEATURE HIS OTHER MOVIES OR SERIES. PLEASE I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD CONSIDER MY HUMBLE REQUEST. MANY THANKS. MORE POWER TO YOU N UR GOOD OFFICE.
Jason Isaacs is badass. "I won't leave home without it." I thought Richie still gave off an aura even though he hadn't suffered a death yet. Duncan sensed him in the pilot, but now nobody does.
Richie came in at the same time Zachary jumped Amanda, plus his aura much more faint, so it's harder to detect, especially against the aura of an active immortal.
I liked it, when Tessa , said to Amanda (We, can't always live under the big top and rhinestones ; on our bodysuits) and Amanda said to Duncan ( You Haven't let me thank you properly for saving my life ; and he said Send me a Card!) Haha! and I enjoyed hearing the clown calling Duncan (A Rube and their conversation , after that )!and its hysterical when Duncan said to (Amanda! Leave the book and smiled ).
Continuity error! At around 11:25 Amanda claimed it had been ages, and MacLeod responded "Barnum Bailey, 1926" If you will recall in season 6 both Amanda and Fitz were with him when he tried to steal back the Stone of Scone in 1950.
But Samurai Momo in the 50’s episode, didn’t they call it something like a “fable” or “fairy tale”? It was sort of a special episode i think. i ASSumed it never really happened in the Highlander universe? 🤷♀️
I Love Highlander The Series Adrian Paul (Duncan Macleod) Stan Kirsch (Richie Ryan) Jim Byrnes (Joe Dawson) Peter Wingfield (Methos) Elizabeth Gracen (Amanda) Michel Modo (Maurice) Philip Akin (Charlie DeSalvo)
Always liked the episodes with Amanda.......would like to get the international version of the series...heard that they did not cut anything out of the scenes... is this correct ????
Doesn't Amanda beheading the guy techinically break the rule of only one immortal can challenge and/or fight another? True, he was disarmed but doesn't necessarily end the fight?
@FlameAdder I think what's going on there is Richie puts off a very subtle aura that probably would not go unnoticed but definitely unheeded. Of course, that's pure speculation.
Does anyone notice that Amanda broke one of the major rules of interfering the fight and if you think about it so did Duncan when he interfere when he grabbed the gun out of Zachary's hand
She technically didn't break the rule,as she challenged Zachary 1st, Duncan interfered, or I should say that Amanda used Duncan as her substitute "sword" and took her rightful Quickening
I worked at a mental hosptial for the state of Florida for 25 years, I seen one guy with one of those restraints on broke out of them, He was in a room with a piece of Plex a glass for a window to the hall away. He yells out "I'm Superman" jumps gets to the other side of the room jumps on the bed then goes horizontal threw the window. he was fighting all of us, he went to kick at me then I put him in a figure 4 leg lock. he started crying in pain and then finally settle down,, He was limping for a days after
We know that a quickening will go to the immortal who is closest to the defeated immortal. So when Amanda took Blaine's head Mac was standing just as close to him as Amanda was, so how did the quickening decide who the winner was in that case? Did it flip a cosmic coin of some kind?
It goes to the closest immortal only in an "accidental" beheading, like if you got beheaded in a car crash or if you took a guillotine during the French Revolution. Otherwise it goes to the one who strikes the blow.
@@michaelproctor8100 there are multiple examples in both show and movies where multiple immortals are all in close proximity to a beheaded immortal, and in every single case, the Quickening goes to the person who struck the blow.
@@michaelproctor8100 death of Nakano in Highlander 3, Kane and his two henchmen are all right next to each other. Kane receives Nakano's Quickening. Highlander Endgame, Kell takes the head of the guy who shot Duncan, Kell receives the Quickening despite there being 4 or 5 other Immortals all right there. There's two examples. There are several more, if you choose to do just a tiny bit of research.
@jyromi - If I recall correctly, the soundtrack by Queen was written exclusively for the Highlander series. I’m quite sure this has been verified as fact elsewhere in the ‘behind the scenes’ info type trivia spaces. Can surely be researched.
Why didn't they feel MacLeod in the museum but all other times? How close do they have to be to feel each other? It seems to vary from episode to episode and sometimes even within an episode...
What I've never been able to figure out, and unsure if any of the movies or the series addressed this: Why other immortals can't sense Richie's pre-immortal state. In the Gathering, season 1 episode 1, Duncan is able to briefly sense an "immortal" presence, he has a much different reaction during this moment. He wasn't 100% certain, but still declared who he was and came at Richie with a sword. The show masks it with Connor being nearby. So Amanda has a similar sensing experience in the spin off show The Raven. I haven't seen that show in many years, but she senses something different with the cop, who she ends up partnering with throughout the show. So why can't other immortals sense pre-immortals? Maybe it's an age thing or how many quickenings you take in?
(Referring to the scene of Amanda drawing her sword) In the immortal words of Spoony: "Okay, now where the hell did she get that from?! Did she just pull it out of her ass?!"
He pulled a gun. She was gonna fight him but he broke the rules. Amanda had good reason there. He was gonna shoot her and take her head. That was her damn kill.
Duncan had one for his katana in future episodes when he was in the mid to late 1700s I think it was the flashback in the episode the immortal chimmoli in the flashback he faced damon case I think
Highlander really changed my life because of the lessons in life.
The main thing highlander taught me was to not lose my head!!!
Me too. This show taught me much about what real honor is. And to not just look at history in general but look at one's own history to learn from. And so much more. Those that don't see the lessons whether they were intentional or not by the writers/production aren't paying attention. But this can be said for other shows/stories too.

When daruis told Macleod, look around him on that battlefield, these men losing the most precious commodity, their life

A bad habit is the BEST way to describe Amanda. That or, his one true love.
I like the way Duncan smiles when fighting. He enjoys it. Pretty legit first fight with that guy.
That's because Duncan was raised as a human from a clan of Warriors he actually does enjoy fighting and battle!!!! Highlander!!!!
i read somewhere that adrian paul decided duncan would smile as a way to taunt and mess with the opponents, if he's smiling they think he's having fun, if they think he's having fun, they think their not doing as well, and it gets in their head, worries them, and makes them slip up, this is a real tactic some fighters use sometimes, grinning and joking during a fight to throw the opponent off their game
one of the best sword fights in the series.
Elizabeth Gracen was, and still is so beautiful
You wanted to hate her character, "Amanda", you knew you should, being Pro-Duncan and all, but she played the part so well, so "scoundrelous" (
My favorite show!!! Love Tessa, love the phrase "There can be only one"
Upon entering an incorrect access code to my computer, it responds "There Can Be Only One"... upon entering the correct code it responds "Greatings! I Am Juan Sanchez Villa Lobos Remeiez, Chief Meataurgest to King Charles V of Spain and I am at your Service"... all in Sir Sean Connery's voice of course.

Right there with you on Methos and Amanda.
If Duncan wants fun, he goes with Amanda, if he wants advice, he goes to Tessa. Yeah that kinda works lol!
What a thief,she even stole mc cloud's quickening😁

Yeah, but he took "her" $10,000,000 book though 🤷🏽♂️

There’s an inconsistency between when this episode says they met last and when a later episode says they met last.
Mate there's an inconsistency between the existence of the franchise and the first movie
Possibly the most exciting sword fight in the series. High energy, fast pace.

Everything about this episode was very classy & clever, especially Mac tripping the alarm at the Museum with the fake coin drop.

Maybe it's an age thing or how many quickenings you take in?
Они могут. Все могут.
I love Amanda!
"I can give you the head off Duncan MacLeod!". No inhibitions.
Lucius picked up a shield 🛡
(Referring to the scene of Amanda drawing her sword) In the immortal words of Spoony:
"Okay, now where the hell did she get that from?! Did she just pull it out of her ass?!"

Pretty sure she just broke the rules of the game. It's supposed to be 1v1. Not 1v1+1
He pulled a gun. She was gonna fight him but he broke the rules. Amanda had good reason there. He was gonna shoot her and take her head. That was her damn kill.
Yes
Right.
This dude survived 400 years and 10000 sword fights against immortal demons and monsters and was stopped by......... A net...... 🧐🧐🧐
how come Duncan, and Conner, never have saya
(scabbard) for there katanas? Remeriez ( Sean Connery) had one.
If you're hiding a sword under a coat, a scabbard would slow down the draw.
Duncan had one for his katana in future episodes when he was in the mid to late 1700s I think it was the flashback in the episode the immortal chimmoli in the flashback he faced damon case I think
