In which I ramble

Been awhile since I last posted. Am safely in my new house, and (partly) unpacked. I have my DVDs out, my computers and TV up and running and my favourite book on the shelves, beyond that i can quite happily live in a box city.... besides I have nowhere to put the rest of the stuff. I like the new place the people I'm living with are lovely and ( Read more... )

The first series is almost like a series of mini self contained films it's as the series go on that you start to see a longer story unfurling. Then there's Duncann himself of course, Duncan in a stable relationship with Tessa is very different to Duncan gathering together friendly immortals and seeking out wrongs to right.

my congratulations with moving. and good luck with writing!

interesting, I also have those idea about rewatching all of highlander. now I'm on season 4. and I agree with you. my impression the same about richie and else. we mostly talk about last seasons,but early episodes were very interesting too. wish you good time with highlander. enjoy. :)

I think it's because we all fell in love with a certain older immortal, but the early series were great like little mini films. Enjoy the rest of your watching too :0).

I've said for some time that the early episodes are needed to understand the Duncan of later episodes. I love his relationship with Tessa. She was such a strong and independent woman. And, yes, Richie was irritating. Only he really never grew out of that as far as I was concerned.

Tessa was brilliant, I cried like a baby in series 2. I agree absolutely if you don't watch the early episodes you miss so much that defines Duncan. I find it really telling how different some of his responses are here in the first series to how he would react later, and yet how in other ways he remains unchanged.

It seems like he seeks out conflict a lot more after Tessa dies, and he is much more focused on an extended network of friends. A lot of those earlier episodes don't involve other immortals at all.

I'm not a big fan of Duncan, but Amanda definitely brings out the best in him. Methos and Joe playing off each other is wonderful, great snark and quite a bit of depth.

Looking forward to seeing what you do for gw500.
