There's two things I love about the opening part of this episode: The first is that Ritchie being an immortal is obfuscated by the fact that two other immortals are on the scene. The second is that our introduction to Duncan is with him pleasuring his lady. 🤣
Ritchie wasn't technically an immortal at the beginning of the series. He doesn't become an immortal until later in the series.
Technically at this point Ritchie was a Latent Immortal. Latent Immortals still generate The Buzz and his immortality was hinted at at the end of the episode by Connor.
I know a Knight who is an immortal with red hair and making sure he is not lost. My son is staying with him today and both of them are Knights and safe.
Disappointed that Adrian Paul did not progress further in his career. A great actor in my opinion 👍
He Should be only Highlander and nothing else till the end )))
He was great. Great. Great. This series. Immortal
this is better than ANYTHING currently available on NETFLIX
On point
Agreed
Absolutely
Better than all the marvel movies combined
Best. Show. Period.
Or one of them, especially after it found its feet and lost the bit of cheese.
"I am immortal
I have inside me blood of kings
I have no rival
No man can be my equal
Take me to the future of your world" Best Song❤
Princes of the universe by Queen.
The Queen songs, made Conor a sympathetic character. This series made Conor and Duncan legend...
All the ingredients, worked together, and made a modern epic saga...
Connor, two n's.
Man, I ADORED this show in the 90s! Having watched it some more recently, I'm glad to say it largely holds up and is still a lot of fun, although it DEFINITELY feels like a product of its era! If anyone is a fan and hasn't seen the Season One blooper reel yet, go out of your way to find it! Adrian Paul and co were just having a blast behind the scenes :)
I am a big fan and the swordplay is pretty good I am a swordsman myself so I see some mistakes but it holds up really good
Does it? Looks cheesy at times to me. Been 31 years since this series came out. I've seen so many movies and shows were the sword fighting scenes are so much better. But i know the standards were less then. And when I was 12 years old the fight scenes looked awesome to me then.
It would have been nice if they spent more time practicing with swords, but it could not work. Time limitations for new characters to become semi proficient. The show had to keep them at the same level.
But the swordfighting is not bad.
@@paulstone3590 They do a decent job of not making it look like they are just hitting eachother's swords and they actually go for lunges which a lot of shows avoid.
@@JohnnyElectronaut Yes they do. And I watched a few episodes after writing my comment. I was wrong actually, in some episodes the fight scenes are quite good. Very realistic, the parrying and movement of the combatants.
I had not seen this show since 2003. So I just forgot a lot. One thing I did notice was the acting is poor in some of the episodes.
PS. Adrian Paul as a CZcams channel. It's called the sword experience. I found some of his content quite interesting. Especially when he is talking about the series. You should check it out.
the beauty of highlander is the joys and sorrows of being immortal, all the fun and all the heartache, beautifully crafted into a timeless story with masterful filming that is lost in todays tv.
I had totally forgotten Lambert was in the pilot episode. At that time, having a movie star in a TV series was a huge deal as _Highlander_ was one of the first shows to attempt to make TV more cinematic. Seeing it again just gives me all the good feels.
But it's sad that they killed Lambert s highlander Connor in the movie Highlander endgame
Ya, but they talk about Connor and Kurgan a lot.
Highlander is the first series I can remember that had a connected universe spanning movies and TV.
I will admit that I began watching the movie series and the tv series because of Queen's music. But I stayed and fell in love with the mythology.
You fell in love with duncan 😅😅❤not the mythology
@@yasminehaddadmzoughi2216 Actually, I was a fan of Connor. But I love watching and listening to Duncan. 🥰😍🤩
It's such an awesome world
@@catherinewilliams9680 but the fighters sometimes make some weird moves, especially the experienced ones like here. I think that at the end he was frustrated and didn't want to live and exposed himself to duncan in this kind of way
Three of Queen's songs was made for the original movie
I still use that line to this day "same clan, different vintage " 🥰😍
Italian Chianti
The original Queen music still, after all these years, raises my hair follicles !
One of the best tv shows made. Loving it!
I would lo e to have anew seaso n ofN Highlandervwith Adrian Paul !!!!!!!!
M 14:4me Too
@capcom222 I hated when they killed off,tess.I thought he become the one & bring tess back.
I believe the best line in this episode and possibly the entire series is when Duncan and Tessa were enjoying an afternoon alone. Duncan says, " Wait. I feel something." Tessa says, "I certainly hope so".
The most legendary beginning of any series: "I feel something" - "I hope so"
The boy will need watching proves it was planned from episode 1 to make Ritchie Immortal.
back when stories were well crafted.
I use to watch this in the 90s in the UK. My Saturday treat. This series was pure gold.
At first you think it's a simple action series. But it's actually a tragedy and a sad story.
Christopher Lambert will always be the highlander the best one to play the role
Thank you, I loved Duncan but Connor was THE Highlander. I sometimes wish they didn't mix the movie and tv show since the mythology is there can only be one
I'm watching the latest 'Moorlander'
Lambert was always Conner. Nobody ever played Conner but Lambert. Duncan is a relative of Conner's and never tried to be Conner.
@@spartanx169x it's Connor
A shame this is the only time we saw Christopher in the six seasons of Highlander, would have been a character development goldmine to see him perhaps only in flashbacks with Duncan.
1 of the interviews I heard he actually said the only reason he appeared in the first episode was to be a passing of the baton from one to another.
I'm glad he appeared in the show. The creators of this show cared about what they were doing and wanted to carry on the legacy.
@@MelonTartVA All except for the final seasons. They were trying to see who they could continue the series with and tried different stories for each episode except the final 2 episodes which I loved with Fitz. Any episide with Fitz was going to be a good episode. I almost liked the series finale more than endgame. The scene where Mac asks Joe to sing stand by me... seeing Richie, seeing Amanda die, Tessa...starting to want to watch the series finale again
Then they did Endgame.
@@gm2407 I suppose they could still continue the series with a new character. I mean the series started off retconning the fact that the gathering happened and that Conner already had the prize after taking down the last immortal on earth the Kurgan even though the endgame movie had scenes where Cinner was aware of Duncan's existence.
Those were the days of well made movies/ tv series, etc :-) bring them back please!
I purchased the complete series last week and binged on it up until 10pm last night. Loved this show and the movies thought I will admit, I have not seen all the movies yet, but mark my word, I will. The Celtic music always gets to me as though my old soul within me forces me to stop whatever I am doing and listen. It's truly cleansing.
Skip Highlander 2 and the Source
@@Gaspe19I absolutely agree. Highlander 3 at least tries to be good, and Highlander: Endgame feels like the true finale of the Highlander franchise as a whole to me, picking up some time after the end of Highlander: The Series.
@mitchellneu I always wanted Duncan became the one & brought tess back. The series hurt me,when they killed tess.
Many years ago I was visiting Vancouver BC. My friends and I were walking down a street near the center of the city and Adrian Paul walked by me......needless to say I was speechless, then when I came to my senses I let out a scream.......my friends came running and I said.....Do you know who that was....that's Adrian Paul of Highlander. Oh my Lord.......handsome as ever.....I will never forget that day......later on that night we went to the coliseum to see Pink Floyd.......yea.....that was an AWESOME day! I loved all of the Highlander episodes.....and Adrian.....I still love him....if only in my dreams!...lol!
RIP Richard Moll
Love this show one of my all time favorites. Bring them back please.
I was utterly captivated when this was on. Gonna redo the whole series again all these years later!
Oh. My. God. The best series made from a movie. Ever. Loved the movie too.
With the Queen's music they are classics. Thanks for uploading.
IDK, Stargate SG-1 gives Highlander a dang good run for its money as a TV show based off a film.
Omg ! Yassss
@@Skyfighter64 I was going to say the same thing. And yet Highlander still pretty darn good.
@@Skyfighter64 M.A.S.H. was BIG time, too. In fact, I dare say that M.A.S.H. was a WAY bigger hit than the Highlander series was. Of course, I was in Germany when the Highlander series was first being shown. I saw the show on AFSN. I wasn't sure how big the show was in the United States. I WAS there during the last shows of M.A.S.H. All my classmates in my elementary school were talking about it. EVERYONE was talking about it. They were even talking about it on our local news in Summerville, South Carolina. 😛
One of the best. How about Babylon-5, Battlestar Galactica, Prison Break?
Always sad to think about Stan kirsch and how he ended. Thoughts to his loved ones
I didn't know he died till i read your comment. It's sad people do this to themselves. Especially when they have people who love them. May he rest in peace.
One of my all time favorites. Love this show. I wish shout would put out the complete show on bluray...
I'm a big SciFi fan, a lot of shows I value come from that genre, but this is my most favorite show. This show had everything for me and the potential of such a world to this day inspired my fantasy - was just perfect growing up alongside.
23:52
So fuckin' good. Way, way back during the series premiere, it was at this moment I knew Adrian Paul was going to give this series legs. Glad I was right.
This is my favorite pilot of all shows. I wish Alexandra Vandernoot wanted to do more seasons and she somehow became a watcher.
If she survived,and became a Watcher she would have had to leave Duncan.In order to adhere to the oath.
I agree! I really wish Alexandra had stayed with the show for longer. I really liked the chemistry between her and Duncan's character. Sometimes actors / characters just "click" on a tv series, and these two were made for each other. I liked Amanda, but she wasn't grounded and level headed like Tessa. In fact, Adrian Paul admitted that his favorite female character on the show was Tessa.
Did anyone watch the original La Femme Nikita? I remember Peta Wilson made a cameo in one of the highlander episodes but it was so brief it's hardly worth mentioning. I would like to have seen Peta fills Alexandra's shoes and become a regular on the Highlander show as Duncan's new partner and love interest, but also she was a strong woman in her own right who could kick ass and fight beside her man. It would have been awesome!
I don't actually think it was her choice.
This was the greatest TV show ever...
Love this show, The 90's at its finest!!!
I loved all the movies , when this series came out ,I was hooked ! Every Saturday afternoon I was glued to the TV set when this series was on .
Endgame was a perfect end to it all they should have let it be with that.
@@jeffreymiller6847 It wouldn't have made much sense for them to keep saying "There can be only 1"....and then end the series with multiple immortals still alive. At some point, they had to work out an ending where only 1 immortal remained.
This series is gold! Thank you!
Wow. I was addicted to this show.
I haven't seen any of it in 20 year.
What a good reminder...
criminally underrated
I can watch these over and over and over...
this show got me interested in history and so much more!!
I can not thank you for putting this on here. I really loved this series. Once again thank you so much 💓
24:06 Who wants to live forever (by Queen) plays.
So incredibly 80s-90s. Glorious.
I love this particular Highlander
Adrian Paul is one of my favorite actors.i watch this because of him.hes great.we love him and won't forget him.he did a great job.love you Duncan
Brings me back to my child hood wen it used to play Saturday morning
Brings back memories of when I was a kid always loved watching them
I remember watching this when I was younger love it then and love it now
That has too be one of the coolest songs.
Slans eyes in that mask make his face look like a bo selecta mask lol
R.I.P. Richard Moll...
And Stan Kirsch
The music is STILL amazing...and always still be...
I watched the Series because I loved the 1st movie....but it was in season 2 where i actually stayed glued on the screen....
I remember watching this when it was airing. I was so excited.
Me too. My parents were obsessed with me. Mom had the biggest crush on Duncan.
The acting is on point.
But... Richard Moll as the villain? Dang, he was good.
So , after he left , Night Court , Bull Shannon went through some ..... issues ...
Havent seen this in over 10yrs but hell yess im in lets binge
I have seen the movie but not the show series. My first time watching the series. Thank you for sharing this on CZcams. God bless all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the video.
anyone else thnk that adrian paul has aged amazingly? i first saw him as a bit part in a sitcom i think it was either dynasty back in the day or maybe it was the carringtons i am not certain. lord he was sooo young then. played a love interest of a young heather locklear.
Richard Moll would have been great as a recurring villain.
I loved the original highlander movie, will watch it a 1000x more before my end as a mortal, I loved the series and how they continued it on. "Who wants to live forever?"
One of my favorite series
Duncan's Batman joke is funnier when you consider he probably met Bob Kane.
This was excellent !
Richard Moll, who played Bull on Night Court, did a great job as Slan, he really played only a few bad guys in his career, and this was the best one by far.
Excellent series
I did love this TV show as a kid growing up and I still do 👏👏💯💯
Thank you so much
Awesome show.
I love this series. Forever my favorite. ❤️🏴
Awesome 😎💯😎 thanks
Great job and more,
I always loved this show.
This show is awesome.
Loved this show ❤
i still get a chill off Tess sceaming, "damn you!" its like she's angry with me personally.
I don't think I've ever gotten over what they did to Tess she was to young.
At 4:35 that's the toledo Salamanca that belonged to , Armand Faziel in the original HIGHLANDER
Wish they would release the updated blu ray set that was advertised back to original full screen and unedited for the season set
45:07 Wow Both Duncan and Connor knew that Richie was immortal too. Even in episode one of season one
Ritchie doesn't actually become an immortal until later in the series. According to the "lore" of the series (both TV and Movie), nobody is born an immortal. They become an immortal after being "killed", which doesn't happen to Ritchie until later in the series. However, Ritchie sees things mortals aren't supposed to see, which makes him a potential target early on in the series.
@@aaronthomas6155 But he's just as much a target as anybody else. So why would one immortal insist to another mortal that he must be watched. What would they care if a regular human being dies. Unless somebody will come for richie's head and the immortals do not take the heads of regular human beings, only of other immortals.
@@chimakalu41 Mortals aren't supposed to know about the existance of immortals. And, per the lore of the series, immortals can only sense other immortals. Ritchie doesn't become immortal until later in the series. Think season 2 or 3 is when Ritchie gets "killed" and becomes immortal. I quit watching the series shortly after that event. Immortals don't take the heads of mortals, but they do kill mortals that learn their secrets.
@@aaronthomas6155
From Wikipedia
Why are they immortal in Highlander?
In the Highlander franchise, human beings born with the power of "the Quickening" become immortal if they suffer a premature death by unnatural means (such as by violence). After the First Death, they are ageless and invulnerable to death unless their head is removed or destroyed.
@@aaronthomas6155 Immortals can sense Pre-Immortals. The reverse is not true; Richie had no idea what he would become until after he died, and Duncan admits that he knew it could happen to him if he was killed.
I was always so disappointed that Connor didn't have his dragon head katana in this episode. I've watched this many times, as they put out a VHS with this and another episode and I had no idea the show existed as I didn't have cable at that point in my life. Richard Moll was a great villain in this episode. Only knew him from Night Court at that point.
I miss this sooo much.
No one compares to Tessa.beautiful and with a heart of gold
I had such a bad time looking for a decent succesor for the first Highlander movie. My expectations were terribly low, but I enjoyed this very much
hardly ever had time for tv, rhis first time (I used to fence) very enjoyable
Awesome series, Richard Moll being in the first episode, hail to the Maniac Cop and Xusi the sorcerer from the sword and the sorcerer film.
Hi i like this show thanks for sharing
Brilliant show someone reshow it soon
My mom loved this show back when it was on.
It can still be found on CZcams and other places. I believe it is also archived.
Most old tv shows are , when you see them now , old fashioned in aryle .Sometimes so bad you cannot believe you were once so addicted to them . But Hughlander could still catch me effortsly . That music score , the heads of these guys , Important in more was than Just " the one" ,Great show .I love this Shout Factory tv .They got Alf too .Also still great fun .Smiley all around for this guy .
Depend on what shows, many of the old shows have qualities to them that you don't see today, whether in dialogue, whether in acting, the stories, the setting, the styles, the music. Many of the 90's shows hold up just fine, especially the animated ones.
Huge FAN. Love Duncan, Tessa, and Ritchie. The whole fantasticness that is "those three" is just....yeah. And when they eventually drag in Darius and Methos. Freakin' classic. Just love the whole show. They needed a "Kurgan" type antago and cast "Bull" from Night court?!?!?!?!?!?! FUCKIN' LOVED it.
wow! 😃i did remember the show, but not this ep, and certainly, not the Queen introduction! (which in the movie, it was (princes of the universe) the song that got me into Queen😃)
Thank you! Even though I have this on dvd, I still watched it 💕
ohh man, this was the best serie ever made
Richard Moll... From Nght Court?
My favourite ever thanks
This show was badass
Song still go hard
Oh man good memories ❤
I loved this series
They really need to reboot this series
Miss these days...Saturdays were awesome... You didn't even need cable
