More Highlander Thoughts
1. Duncan was lot more light-hearted and likeable before Tessa died. I like him better when he cracks jokes than when he broods.
2. Tessa is a lot cooler than I remember. My main impression of her as a teenager was that she was blonde and French and occasionally difficult to understand because she emphasized the wrong word in a sentence (which I found intriguing - that's probably why I remember her voice and accent much better than her face). I didn't really pay much attention to her as a charater, because I figured she was just supposed to be the stock girlfriend. Now I see that she's a lot stronger. I like the fact that she back-talks MacLeod when he gets angsty and broody. If only she'd stuck around to back-talk him throughout the entire series.
3. Richie was a lot cooler in the first season before he became Immortal. He was a fast-talking cutie, in fact. He reminds me of Vince Noir, somewhere in between his innocent Zooniverse days and his more self-absorbed adolescent days in the shop. Doesn't quite have Noel Fielding's charm, but hey, we can't all be raised in the jungle with hair that is virtually a hat, eh? Eh? Eh.
4. Darius. Oh, Darius. I remembered that you had pretty eyes and an accent I couldn't identify (genuine German, as opposed to the fake!German that everyone used in Hogan's Heroes), but damn. I see why your few episodes left such a long-lasting legacy. I might suck it up and deal with the Catholic Church just to be cloistered away with you for a few years. I'm not sure if that's because I want you to teach me about pacifism and chess and moss tea, or because I want to jump your blue-eyed bones. Not that your bones are capable of being blue-eyed, since bones don't have eyes, but that's how twitterpated you get me - I get all mixed up about bones and organs and whatnots.
5. Amanda's alleged charm still eludes me. Pretty face, great body, but I don't see why she got her own spin-off instead of Methos and Joe. They're much more entertaining.
