Season five of Highlander is another great 22 episodes. This season starts off in a similar fashion as season four did. ‘Prophecy’ takes us back to the Highlands of Scotland when Duncan was only 13 years old; we got to see him in close contact with his cousin Robert, with whom he had to confront in season four’s opener ‘Homeland’. This season also brings home Ritchie, now an immortal with no false belief that Duncan will protect him and watch out for him; he is ready to take care of himself. There are episodes with Huge Fitzcairn, played by the great Rodger Daltrey, and Amanda, and Methos. My favorite episodes in the series ‘Comes a Horseman’ and ‘Revelations 6:8’ are in this season, with additional director’s cuts versions of both episodes. This season is great enough on its own, but the DVD set comes packed with interviews and deleted scenes. The interviews are long, and most of them are great to watch. The deleted scenes are fun as well; they show with great detail how much work went in to filming the sword fights. This DVD set is well worth the time and the money. I highly recommend this set for all who enjoy great TV; there is enough action, comedy, science fiction, and drama for any fan.
Don’t worry if you are new to the immortal game. This show is easy to understand. There are immortals roaming the world fighting each other until there is only one left. The one who remains will have the strength and power of all of the immortals before them. This series focuses around a 400 year old Scottish immortal, Duncan MacLeod, played by Adrian Paul. Duncan is one of the good guys, always fighting evil. This is a very fun series with great and beautiful acting!
