Highlander - up to 2x15 (Unholy Alliance)
I suppose eventually I'll get tired of nattering about the episodes as I watch them. But ... not yet!
Man. Duncan. Your LIFE. ;_; He's so isolated now, in almost every way. Tessa's dead, Darius is dead, Richie's gone (under not-very-pleasant circumstances), Charlie's out of his life for awhile if Duncan stays in Paris, Dawson betrayed his trust ... (Okay, I'm really grooving on MacLeod and Dawson's awkward back-and-forth dance towards friendship, but it does involve a step back for every step forward.)
All in all, I'm not enjoying this part of the series as much as what came before. But I'm not hating it; there have been some episodes I've really enjoyed (particularly the 2-parter I just watched), and most of them have at least a few neat moments. And I do like that they aren't keeping things the same -- Duncan's long, long life has been full of ups and downs, things won and lost, and inevitably most of his friendships and romances end ... badly. So this is one of the down parts, and now we're getting to see the resilience that it takes to pull himself through. But oh, Duncan. I miss the lightness and fun of his earlier interactions with Tessa and Richie and Darius.
hahahaha, such a very YOUNG Michael Shanks in "The Zone". :D I almost didn't recognize him -- it was the blue, blue eyes that did it. Well, and his voice. And then the bounty hunter episode with Jonathan Banks, a Wiseguy alumnus, playing a baddie. Too bad he didn't have a chance to interact with Dawson. Hee!
Heh, and the Xavier St. Cloud episodes did answer my question about whether Immortals can grow missing parts (they can't). I'm kinda sorry to lose St. Cloud; he was a fun opponent. But I'm glad (in a perverse kind of way) that Horton's still lurking out there, waiting to cause trouble.
And, man -- for a show that's pretty much built around swordfighting, it doesn't disappoint. :D And Duncan has some of the neatest moves. (The thing where he flips the sword up with his foot ... *flails*) I know zip-all about fencing, so for all I know nothing that he does is even remotely realistic, but I do enjoy watching him. I mean, watching the fencing. Yeah.
ETA: So I'm starting to feel like a stuck record, but no spoilers in comments, please? Not even hints? I'm really enjoying my almost-completely-unspoiled state and would like to keep it that way! I know I'm completely neurotic about it, but thank you very much for being understanding. :)
