Highlander: The Series is the 1992-1997 series inspired by the popular Highlander film franchise. It stars British actor Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod, the younger kinsman of the movies' Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert), who passes the torch in the pilot episode. The series was a French-Canadian co-production, which resulted in half of it being filmed in the U.S. and Vancouver and the other half in Paris. The exceptions were Season Six and the Spin-Off series (see below), which were filmed entirely in Paris.The central premise was a bit predictable at times: Duncan would encounter an old immortal enemy, or an immortal friend with someone chasing after them, and the episode would end with Duncan battling his opponent and beheading them. Modern-day scenes were interspersed with flashbacks to earlier periods in Duncan's life, typically his first encounter with the immortal of the week.There were some unavoidable Continuity Snarls between the films and the TV series, and many things were retconned to fit into the TV canon. Still, the series managed to appeal to fans of the film franchise, and it gained an international cult following which persists today. Canon Immigrants from the show were featured in the fourth and fifth films of the franchise, Highlander: Endgame and Highlander: The Source.Half of season six was an extended screen-test to find a female immortal to cast in a Spin-Off; it was ultimately decided to use the already-established character of Amanda the cat burglar (Elizabeth Gracen) instead. The Raven only lasted a season due to inter-personal and creative issues backstage.The entire show has been legally uploaded to Youtube by its current distributor so you can watch it for free here.

My Grandson, Myself
 Highlander / int_157c6c4f
comment
My Grandson, Myself: In one episode, Duncan is seen going to a Paris bank in the 1930s to close an account he set up a century earlier (and has to remember how many "greats" his "ancestor" was). Obviously, there was a lot of interest piled up so the bank manager was relieved when Duncan decided to open a new account rather than withdraw it all. Duncan pretended to be his lookalike son when he met the aged members of a French Resistance cell he fought with in WWII. In the 18th century, Duncan was tutored by a Japanese warrior who was forced to take his own life to save his honor. Duncan swore that if the man's family ever needed help, they could come to Duncan Macleod. 200 years later, the samurai's female descendant comes to Duncan for help and is surprised that Duncan knows of the "family legend." She even says she doesn't expect Duncan to honor a commitment from his "ancestor" but of course, he insists on helping. Immortal Katya says that as her adoptive daughter grew, Katya went from her mother to her older sister to her younger sister.

Master Swordsman: Since beheading is the only way to kill an Immortal and sword fights are common, many characters have honed their swordcraft to master levels. However, a few take it up to eleven by learning multiple types of swords and styles of combat.

All There in the Manual: The Watcher Chronicles CD ROM contains a wealth of information about every character seen (and, in some cases, characters only mentioned) in the series. There was also a series of eight novels (a ninth was outlined but never written) that fleshed out certain characters and situations. Both the CD and the novels are canonical.

Dressing as the Enemy: Happens in the series finale, when Duncan convinces Methos to take the outfit of an unconscious underling so that they can fool O'Rourke. Methos almost lampshades it with the line "You know, this 'Bad guy just my size' routine never works, MacLeod. " Less than a minute later, he proves it DOES work, by donning an Irish accent along with the bad guy's coat and shooting the other henchmen.

Underestimating Badassery
 Highlander / int_1a8dc238
comment
Underestimating Badassery: At 400 years old, Duncan is sometimes considered a "kid" among Immortals. Thus, many an Immortal a thousand years or more older will assume they have the advantage...often right up until the moment Duncan takes their head. Richie is in his 20s, barely Immortal for a few years, yet is able to take down fighters with literally centuries of experience on him. Woe to the Immortal dismissing academic Adam Pierson as a weakling, unaware they're facing the 5000-year-old figure once known as Death. Duncan himself falls into this, thinking young Kenny really is a 10-year-old kid...not grasping he's over 800 years old.

The Ghost

comment
Richie Ryan, one of the main characters, is trained by his mentor Duncan MacLeod throughout most of the series. Duncan has had several mentors over his life, but the main and original mentor was Connor MacLeod. Connor appears in a single episode but is mentioned in several others. Connor's own mentor Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez is mentioned in a few episodes, though he is long dead. One episode depicts a character called Graham Ashe as Ramirez's mentor, and Duncan witnesses his death. The Watcher CD mentions Graham Ashe's mentor as Aganesthes of Tiryns, an ancient immortal who mostly appears as The Ghost in the series' supporting material.

The Stoic: Darius lives a peaceful, secluded life on the holy ground of a monastery, separated from the cares of the outside world and beyond the reach of other Immortals.

 Highlander / int_1df7bbc0
comment
Actually Not a Vampire: The episode "The Vampire" features what appears to be a string of vampire attacks in South London in 1840. The victims in Paris all have missing blood and piercing wounds on their neck. There's even a Van Helsing-type character hunting the vampire. He catches him too, only to be shocked when the vampire gets up from being staked. Turns out the vampire was immortal Nick Ward, faking vampire attacks so that he could kill his young bride and inherit her money. He drains the blood of his victims with a special hypodermic cane, which leaves bite marks.

Duncan gives Felicia Martin a rare katana as he teaches her to fight and the rules of the Game. Unfortunately, Felicia is really Felice Marten, a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing whose MO is to pose as a newbie Immortal, get another Immortal to take her in and teach her their fighting style, then kill them with it. She and Duncan duel on a beach, and he ends the fight by breaking her weapon, then giving a "The Reason You Suck" Speech about that sword would have served her well if she'd used it honorably.

He Who Fights Monsters: James Horton's hatred of Immortals and desire to kill them all stems from the fact that he spent most of his career as Watcher to The Kurgan, of all people. The conflict between Horton's oath of non-interference and his devout Catholic beliefs eventually drove him to insanity. Andrew Cord initially fought during the Civil War for freedom. A combination of disillusionment and the belief that only war makes men equal gradually warp his convictions, eventually becoming an arms dealer offering services to the highest bidder.

Memory Trigger: In the TV series, in every episode something triggers Duncan's memory of something, which leads to the every episode flashback scene(s) which is germane to the rest of the episode.

Wakeup Makeup: particularly obvious when Duncan unwraps the mummy of Nefertiri after being unconscious for 2,000 years, and she still has perfect hair and makeup. Note that she also knows English, although this might be Translation Convention of a common language such as Latin.

Best Served Cold
 Highlander / int_33c2b1e2
comment
Best Served Cold: An Immortal with a grudge against another can afford to spend decades or even centuries waiting for the most opportune moment to seek revenge. One of the best examples in the series is Kalas, who was exiled from a monastery in the 1600s after Duncan exposed his stealth headhunting practices. He waited until 1920 to retaliate by trying to kill a friend of Duncan's, and when that failed, he spent several more decades planning and building resources for a more elaborate trap.

Good Thing You Can Heal
 Highlander / int_3456f3c5
comment
Good Thing You Can Heal: As the story features Immortals, most episodes feature at least one scene of them quickly healing from physical trauma or resurrecting from a fatal injury. Damage to the neck doesn't seem to fully heal, such as when Duncan tried to behead Kalas but only succeeded in destroying his vocal cords. Whether lost limbs regrow is still open to debate.note Duncan cut off Xavier St. Cloud's hand, and Xavier later reappeared with an articulated hook replacing the lost hand. The battle took place on the bank of the Seine, and Xavier's hand wound up in the river (as did Xavier himself to escape Duncan). If Xavier had managed to reclaim the hand, it might have reattached itself, or the hand itself may have regenerated after an extended period, but Xavier's next appearance is his last, so we still don't know for sure.

Murder the Hypotenuse: In the episode "The Samurai", immortal Michael Kent discovers that his mortal wife Midori Koto is cheating on him.

It doesn't work, and the episode later points out that their love was one-sided to begin with: Michael loved her, Midori never loved him.

The Fog of Ages: Duncan heard that Methos is five thousand years old but Methos tells him that he's actually older, possibly much older, but he can only remember clearly from the time he took his first head; "before that, it all starts to blur." A few episodes have Methos trying to preserve his old diaries from various centuries with the possible implication that he needs written records to keep track of all the details of his life. However, this is disproven in the "Methos Chronicles" which shows that he actually remembers his full life. His diaries may be intended to outlive him or to provide contemporary evidence to back up his word in the future.

Obstructive Code of Conduct: Immortals are supposed to only fight one-on-one. During the course of the series, we see that this rule is quite malleable, to put it lightly. Watchers are not supposed to interfere in Immortal conflicts. Joe Dawson spends a lot of time bending, breaking, or just plain ignoring this rule.

Gasp of Life: This trope is common throughout the franchise, but the series really codified it as part of the franchise lore. Immortals can be killed through lethal wounds to a human, they simply possess a Healing Factor that will revive them after a time. When that revival occurs, this trope is almost always used. It's especially notable when a "pre-Immortal" dies for the first time, "activating" their full Immortality.

Immortality Hurts
 Highlander / int_403dcfce
comment
Immortality Hurts: Though Immortals recover from injuries and death, they are not immune to the pain of the injury or the subsequent healing (like when their broken bones reset themselves). Many episodes show how this is taken advantage of during Immortal sword fights where one Immortal has been dealt so many injuries that even though they are still alive and painfully healing, they can no longer focus on defense, allowing their opponent to deliver the killing stroke.

A Side Order of Romance: Methos falls for Alexa, a waitress at Joe's bar. He's geeky and awkward and flustered, despite having thousands of years of experience. After she's turned him down, she asks why he wants to go out with her, and his answer, "Because the alternative is unthinkable," convinces her to accept his invitation after all. It turns out Alexa is terminally ill, but it doesn't deter him. When he tells her he can handle what's coming, she asks why he would want to, which gets her the same answer.

Kenneth/Kenny is considered one of the series' most memorable villains, though he appeared in only two episodes. His mentor and surrogate mother is Amanda, the immortal thief who serves as Duncan's main love interest. Amanda's own mentor and surrogate mother Rebecca Horne appears in two episodes and mentioned in several others. Rebecca's death at the hands of a traitorous student is a Story Arc in the series. The Watcher CD mentions Aganesthes of Tiryns as Rebecca's own mentor.

Distinguishing Mark: When the angered widow of a Watcher Kalas killed wants to expose Immortals to the media, a newspaper publisher naturally doesn't believe it. She shows him a photo of a modern millionaire notable for a facial scar. She then begins showing him images from the Watcher database of a variety of men from World War II to the 1890s to the Civil War and the early 19th century. The publisher is stunned to see that each man bears the exact same scar and realizes they are, in fact, the same man living centuries.

Holy Ground: One of the few rules of the Game is that Immortals can not fight on holy ground, which makes it one of the few places they can go to get away from the Game.

Combat Pragmatist: Methos and a number of the bad guys. Xavier St. Cloud and Morgan D'Estaing were known to use nerve gas and curare to push the odds in their favor, with Xavier later sending gun-wielding mortals after targets. Peter Kanis used attack dogs to soften up his targets before moving in for the kill. Slan Quince had a projectile dagger built into the pommel of his sword. Johnny Kelly was a threat to MacLeod only because he preferred to use a sniper rifle than engage in a straight-up swordfight. Some, like Andrew Cord, did not have a gimmick and were simply damn impressive fighters who weren't limited by any particular rules or disciplines. Silas and Caspian often double-teamed opponents. While the Rules forbid two-on-one fights, one would stand by and step in if their partner was killed.

Hammer Hilt
 Highlander / int_4bf811d4
comment
Hammer Hilt: Most Immortals are extreme Combat Pragmatists, so this is seen more than once. A few examples: In the pilot episode, "The Gathering", Slan smashes a window with the hilt of his broadsword. Later, during their big fight, Duncan knocks Slan backwards with the pommel of his katana. In "Mountain Men", in the big fight at the end Duncan uses a bearded battleaxe with a four-foot-long shaft. At one point he drives the butt into the bad guy's ribs, and a moment later he uses the shaft to smash the bad guy across the face. In a flashback in "The Samurai", Duncan is using a sailor's cutlass with a large brass knucklebow. After blocking an enemy stroke, he punches his opponent in the face with his sword hand, using the knucklebow like brass knuckles. Truth in Television: the naval cutlass was often made with a solid metal knucklebow precisely to facilitate this kind of attack because fighting aboard a ship is often in such close quarters that full swings were impractical. In "Brothers in Arms", the Villain of the Week uses a cavalry saber with a large knucklebow, and at one point he punches MacLeod in the face with the hilt.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Highlander / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first season tries to pattern itself after the movie and states that "The Gathering", the encounter of the last surviving Immortals to fight for the Prize, is taking place. However, as the show moved forward and more and more Immortals were mentioned or introduced, all mentions of the Gathering were dropped. Fanon says that too many Immortals dying without a Quickening at the hands of the Hunters sent all their power out to create new Immortals, delaying the Gathering indefinitely. The first half of Season One set in Seacouver has a few story elements that were later dropped, such as the police investigating the beheaded Immortals and the reporter investigating Duncan. Episodes featuring Duncan dealing with mortal antagonists that were not The Watchers were gradually reduced after the first season and mostly eliminated by the middle of the show's run, becoming the exception rather than the rule. In Methos' introductory episode, he selflessly offers his head to Duncan, to prevent the evil immortal Kalas from taking it. It's hard to imagine the more ruthless, morally ambiguous Methos of later episodes doing such a thing. He'd be more likely to just plain run from a superior opponent. It's quite possible this was all Methos manipulating Duncan, however.

Immortality Inducer: An artefact called the Methuselah Stone is rumored to have this property, conferring immortality upon mortals and even making immortals invulnerable to decapitation. It's never made clear whether or not the rumors are true, but several different characters believe it and go to great lengths to acquire the stone.

Consone gets an epic one when Duncan defeats him in the Mysterious Circle style of sword fighting that he’s a master of. He could have won, but wasted time on a Pre-Mortem One-Liner and Duncan seized the chance to turn the tables and win.

To Unmasque the World: Attempted by Christine Salzer in "Finale" as revenge upon the Watchers and immortals for their role in her husband's murder. Her scheme is quickly hijacked by Kalas, who doesn't particularly want to unmasque the world but is happy to use the threat of doing so to further his vendetta against Duncan.

Flashback
 Highlander / int_53bb70b2
comment
Flash Back: Almost every episode featured one or more flashbacks, usually either about a previous encounter between Duncan and the villain-of-the-week, or filling in some other part of Duncan's past. Since Immortals live for so long, many situations they face are in some way related to events in their past although in some stories, their relevance to the present is not always obvious.

"Rear Window" Witness: Tessa in "Eyewitness". She witnesses the murder of fellow artist Anne Wheeler through a window. Initially nobody believes her, because they can not find a corpse. When she is believed, the killer seems to know the police's plan. It turns out that the killer was the Immortal Andrew Ballin, the Chief of Detectives. The Police did not suspect that their boss was the killer.

The Idealist: Duncan adheres to a very strict code of honor, which gets him into a lot of tough scrapes. The Watchers. On the whole, they take their responsibility to "observe and document, never interact" with a solemn, almost monk-like devotion. For story purposes, some fall short.

Serial Killer Baiting
 Highlander / int_54c29754
comment
Serial Killer Baiting: In the Episode "See No Evil" a serial killer called "The Scalper" goes after blond women. Duncan recognizes the killings as a copycat crime inspired by an immortal serial killer he decapitated decades ago. When the police tries to bait the killer with a blond woman, this backfires as the killer goes after another victim instead and nearly kills her. Duncan uses his knowledge of the original killer's modus operandi to set up a trap with Tessa as bait. The killer tries to escape and is eventually run over by Tessa in Duncan's car.

Bare-Handed Blade Block
 Highlander / int_5c91635a
comment
Barehanded Blade Block: Done in one episode of the series, justified since immortals don't have to worry much about injuries due to their Healing Factor. Series swordmaster F. Braun McAsh has said that he tried this out himself before putting it in the show, then taught it to Adrian Paul. The technique used in the show differs from the standard use of the trope in a couple of ways: Duncan was stopping a straight thrust, not a cut, giving him more of the blade to catch; and he caught the spine rather than the edge of his opponent's sword. It was also a last-ditch desperation move: if it didn't work, Duncan was dead anyway.

Barbarian Longhair: For the older flashbacks, though Duncan sported it in the modern day too when it wasn't in a ponytail. He and Connor both had it during their clan days — and the Scots were often considered 'barbarians'/savages by people like the English. Methos and the other Horsemen also sported long hair during the Bronze Age scenes.

Masquerade: The Watchers have two primary aims; to record the lives of the Immortals, and to make sure nobody finds out. The show actually slightly deconstructs the idea of a vast organisation devoted to upholding the Masquerade, since most Watchers treat it like any other job; they even have a pension plan and vacation time. In one episode it's revealed they don't know who killed a recently dead Immortal because his Watcher had taken time off for his sister's wedding when it happened.

The DeValincourts, for the most part. They were rivals who fell in love and married each other in 1696. They were still married in 1996, though they briefly considered divorce due to boredom with their life. One shared adventure later, they were convinced to stay together and spice up their life a bit more. Others have pointed out to them that "In the end, there can be only one," but they retort that it's not "the end" yet, and until that time comes, they can still enjoy their lives together.

Out-of-Character Alert: In "Revenge is Sweet", when Richie calls Duncan "Mr. MacLeod" over the phone, Duncan at once knows something is wrong. Although in a twist, Richie isn't being ordered to say everything's fine—the person holding him hostage does want him to say he's a hostage, but is forcing him to lie about who's doing it for complicated Batman Gambit reasons. The sudden formality alerts Duncan to the deception.

Self-Made Orphan: Played with in "Double Jeopardy". The pre-immortal Morgan D'Estaing was adopted by a French aristocratic family as their intended heir. His adoptive parents eventually had a biological son and daughter of their own. The parents decided to disown Morgan and leave all their fortune to his younger brother Bernard. When Morgan tried to kill Bernard in a jealous rage, their father killed him and had him buried. When Morgan rose as an Immortal, he had a burning desire to kill his whole family. A few years later, he attempted to do just that. But the actual murders, by poisoning, took place at the hands of his mentor and partner-in-crime Xavier St. Cloud. Xavier considered this another lesson on how to become a proper villain.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Highlander / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: The death of Werner Stocker who played Darius towards the end of the first season forced the writing staff to scramble to re-write the series finale without him. This led directly to the creation of the "Watchers" and "Hunters" organisations that would change the direction of the series and feature heavily in future seasons. Tessa had to die because Alexandra Vandernoot felt her career was being limited and she wanted to leave the series because the American/Canadian arcs kept her away from home too much. She later had a few regrets though on learning of Tessa’s popularity. Hugh Fitzcairn died because Roger Daltrey preferred period pieces to modern arcs. He agreed to appear a few more times if Fitz died and he could be only in flashbacks.

Celebrity Paradox: The season one episode "Free Fall" has Joan Jett as a guest star. The beginning of said episode has Richie dancing to "Cherry Bomb" by Jett's former band The Runaways. In "Eye of the Beholder", "She Drives Me Crazy" by the Fine Young Cannibals plays during a fashion show. Roland Gift, lead singer of the FYC, had appeared four episodes earlier as Xavier St. Cloud and would return for three more.

 Highlander / int_7bb1296b
comment
"Rashomon"-Style: The episode "Through a Glass Darkly" features two completely different flashbacks of the same meeting, revealing how two immortals with different perspectives had entirely different recollections of events. In 1785, Duncan and Warren Cochrane arrange to meet Bonnie Prince Charlie in Normandy to ascertain whether he is willing and able to lead a new uprising. Centuries later, Warren remembers the aging Charlie as a dignified leader who turned down their offer, because he felt even his most devoted followers doubted their chances at victory. A disillusioned Duncan instead remembers Charlie as a broken man and an alcoholic.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Amanda breaks Kalas out of prison in an attempt to kill him for Duncan. Kalas actually escapes, thanks to an ally Kalas made in prison Amanda didn't plan for. She pretty much immediately goes to Duncan to cook him a lovely meal (and clearly intends to boink his brains out afterward) specifically so he won't kill her when she tells him what happened.

(Caleb won’t confirm it onscreen but it’s All There in the Manual aka the Watcher Chronicles cd). But Caleb makes the mistake of kidnapping Tessa and pushing Duncan’s Berserk Button. He’s no match for the angry Highlander’s tracking and fighting skills.

Made a Slave: Cassandra, and probably a few others, courtesy of the Horsemen. Methos was a slave in Ancient Rome and ended up crucified and died a couple times before Constantine stepped in to rescue him. Duncan was enslaved by Barbary pirates thanks to a woman who orchestrated the whole thing so she could marry a man in the area. Immortal Hamza bought Duncan to rescue him from the market and eventually they became friends before Xavier St. Cloud offed Hamza.

He's also fought in Waterloo, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II, is trained in who-knows-how-many martial arts, and has survived for 400 years by chopping the heads off of his enemies with a katana.

In a flashback in "The Samurai", Duncan is using a sailor's cutlass with a large brass knucklebow. After blocking an enemy stroke, he punches his opponent in the face with his sword hand, using the knucklebow like brass knuckles. Truth in Television: the naval cutlass was often made with a solid metal knucklebow precisely to facilitate this kind of attack because fighting aboard a ship is often in such close quarters that full swings were impractical.

Tightrope Walking: Appears as a workplace-acquired ability as well as a Chekhov's Gag in the episode "The Lady or the Tiger". Circus star/thief/"bad habit" Amanda Grayson is introduced doing a solo tightrope act in a small French circus while Duncan and his friends are in the audience. Duncan playfully uses the Buzz to almost make her fall, and thereby make her act more impressive. Later in the episode, Amanda and her accomplice (and fellow Immortal) Zachary Blaine cross a tightrope to get into a museum without tripping the burglar alarms.

Resurrective Immortality: Any normally fatal injury will cause an immortal to die, then resurrect completely healed after minutes.

The Perils of Being the Best
 Highlander / int_958ffe8c
comment
The Perils of Being the Best: An Immortal famous for their fighting skills or their age winds up vulnerable to this, as some Immortals are serious about winning the Game and purposefully seek out old or powerful Immortals in order to take their power. This causes most older Immortals to keep a low profile unless they themselves are confident and bloodthirsty enough to welcome the cavalcade of challengers. This is a big part of why Methos is as secretive as he is.

In Methos' introductory episode, he selflessly offers his head to Duncan, to prevent the evil immortal Kalas from taking it. It's hard to imagine the more ruthless, morally ambiguous Methos of later episodes doing such a thing. He'd be more likely to just plain run from a superior opponent. It's quite possible this was all Methos manipulating Duncan, however.

Foreshadowing: Probably not intentional, but Duncan tells Richie about Darius’ Light Quickening in “Band of Brothers�. Richie asks if there’s a Dark Quickening and what it would be like. Three seasons later, Duncan has one and nearly kills him after beheading Koltec. Also, in “Under Color of Authority�, after taking his first head, Richie asks Duncan if they’ll ever have to fight. Unfortunately they do fight when Duncan is tormented by Ahriman in season 5, and it doesn’t end well...

 Highlander / int_a1acd3fd

Decapitation Required: The only way to permanently kill an Immortal is by beheading. Anything else just kills them temporarily and they will come back to life. It also needs to be a full decapitation; while neck injuries scar pretty badly and heal much slower than almost anywhere else, an Immortal can survive as long as the head is still attached.

Chekhov's Classroom: Interesting variation in that it's Duncan imparting the lesson that he himself will use later. He's giving a history lecture on a battle from the Crusades, with Christian knights on one side and Muslims on the other, both armies renowned for their cavalry. The knights preferred riding stallions, the Muslims preferred mares, and when they met on the field, it turned out half the mares were in heat. "It was love at first sight," as Duncan says. The villain of the episode is Kanis, who uses trained attack dogs to weaken his Immortal opponents. Duncan rents a bitch in heat (the same one Kanis himself was interested in earlier to breed a replacement) so that when Kanis comes calling, his dogs will have other things to think about than their master's commands.

comment
Duncan's relationships with mortal women fits the trope. He is a centuries-old Immortal whose Healing Factor and combat skills render him nearly invulnerable. They are typically civilians with no special abilities and are vulnerable to aging, illness, and wounds. When they know what he is, their reactions can vary, but they are played for drama. The two most notable mortal lovers, Tessa Noel and Dr. Anne Lindsey, found themselves in the first lines of combat and had their perspectives in life changed.

MacGuffin: Many episodes revolve around the seeking of a sacred or mythical object. One of the most elusive ones was the Methuselah Stone, which was sought in several episodes. Legends depicted the Stone as able to grant full immortality to immortals (removing the weakness to decapitation) or even turn a mortal into an immortal. This may have been an Aborted Arc, or it may have been considered to have served its purpose once Methos's mortal love interest passed away.

Karma Houdini
 Highlander / int_a70223
comment
Karma Houdini: Joan Jett's character in the season one episode "Freefall." The character, called Felice Martén/Felicia Martins, is depicted killing another Immortal's mortal wife and child, to break him psychologically. She later ambushes and kills this immortal. She briefly becomes Duncan's student, in order to get close to him and take his head. After Duncan beats her in their sword fight, Richie, whom she had seduced, begs Duncan not to kill her, so he leaves her unconscious on a beach. Kiem Sun in "The Road Not Taken" ends up losing out on the potion he's worked so hard to perfect when Duncan dumps it, but he's still allowed to go free and continue his work elsewhere (at least until he and Duncan run into each other again, in which case Duncan notes that their next confrontation will end with Kiem Sun's death). Methos enslaved and raped Cassandra, double-crossed the Four Horsemen, killed Silas (the Horseman and "brother" he liked the most), and has apparently committed raiding and pillaging on a massive scale. He gets away with it, though he claims to have a thousand regrets. Benjamin "Benny" Carbassa used his friend Duncan in a plan to save his own skin, hurt and betrayed him, and almost got Duncan killed. Duncan buys him a bus ticket and simply tells him to leave the town. David Keogh, the Immortal stalker from the episode "Obsession". His mortal girlfriend Jill Pelentay broke up with him, but he still wanted to marry her. He became seriously obsessed with her, followed her everywhere, broke into her house, and pretty much ruined her life. Jill jumped to her death in order to avoid him. Duncan allows him to go, but Keogh is among the creepiest immortals out there. Kenneth/Kenny has double-crossed and often killed anyone who ever tried to help him, including his own mentor/surrogate mother Amanda. He was also hinted to lust for Amanda and acts rather sadistically towards her when she is trapped. He is allowed to leave unpunished. Minor character, but the junkie who killed Tessa counts. When he is identified Richie wants to take revenge, but when he finds he's now a struggling father trying to turn his life around, Richie relents, so technically he got away with murder.

comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: In the flashback portion of Duende, we see a romance develop between MacLeod and Theresa, who is newly betrothed to another Immortal. Her intended husband promptly challenges Duncan to a duel. It's pointed out in the episode commentary that the audience is going to automatically sympathize with the couple that is genuinely in love and side against the petty (and, we find, murderous) fiancee . . . but MacLeod is actively pursuing a woman who is about to be married, and within the society of that time and place, he's absolutely in the wrong.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Kalas has the Watcher database set to upload in the event of his death, promising to stop it if Duncan gives up and lets Kalas kill him. Kalas chooses the top of the Eiffel Tower as the spot for their last duel. Duncan defeats him, and Kalas basically dares Duncan to kill him and expose all of Immortal kind. Duncan realizes the Eiffel Tower is "the world's biggest lightning rod," and that it will amplify the Quickening to fry just about every piece of electronics in Paris. . . including Kalas computer with the database inside it. Kalas gets a glorious "Oh, Crap!, I Didn't Think This Through" face before Duncan beheads him.

Oh, Crap!: Grayson in “Band of Brothers� just before Duncan kills him. He was cocky and arrogant and assumed he’d win. Kalas when he realizes he’s lost all leverage against Duncan because battling on the Eiffel Tower will fry all the electronics including the computer with info on immortals. Duncan no longer has to accept defeat and will take his head. Consone gets an epic one when Duncan defeats him in the Mysterious Circle style of sword fighting that he’s a master of. He could have won, but wasted time on a Pre-Mortem One-Liner and Duncan seized the chance to turn the tables and win.

Master-Apprentice Chain
 Highlander / int_ad3c0e49
comment
Master-Apprentice Chain: Unsurprising in a series where all Immortals have to be trained by more experienced Immortals on how to play the Game. Richie Ryan, one of the main characters, is trained by his mentor Duncan MacLeod throughout most of the series. Duncan has had several mentors over his life, but the main and original mentor was Connor MacLeod. Connor appears in a single episode but is mentioned in several others. Connor's own mentor Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez is mentioned in a few episodes, though he is long dead. One episode depicts a character called Graham Ashe as Ramirez's mentor, and Duncan witnesses his death. The Watcher CD mentions Graham Ashe's mentor as Aganesthes of Tiryns, an ancient immortal who mostly appears as The Ghost in the series' supporting material. Kenneth/Kenny is considered one of the series' most memorable villains, though he appeared in only two episodes. His mentor and surrogate mother is Amanda, the immortal thief who serves as Duncan's main love interest. Amanda's own mentor and surrogate mother Rebecca Horne appears in two episodes and mentioned in several others. Rebecca's death at the hands of a traitorous student is a Story Arc in the series. The Watcher CD mentions Aganesthes of Tiryns as Rebecca's own mentor. Xavier took on a student, Morgan D'Estraing. When Duncan killed Xavier, Morgan uses Xavier's same tactics to try and avenge his mentor.

Scars are Forever: While Immortals heal from wounds after they become Immortal, anything before their first "death" remains. Thus, several Immortals bear scars or other marks for centuries. Also, both the movie and the series imply that wounds to the neck don't heal as well as other parts of the body.

Retcon: A minor one, but in Season 1 Duncan runs into Immortal Xavier St. Cloud, whom he supposedly met a few decades prior in what looked like World War I. The season 3 finale showed a flashback to a MUCH earlier time, shortly after Duncan became an Immortal, and he runs into Xavier...for the first time. One could argue there was such a long time between their run-ins the pair could have forgotten one another, but considering Immortals seem to remember each other over insane time spans this trope comes into play. Mac tells Felicia a clansman gave him his katana. Originally Connor was to have given it to him. This was changed to the story in “The Samurai�. There was a comment made about Duncan considering those closest to him part of his “clan�.

A furious Duncan goes to the Earl's home and grabs his son. Two hundred and fifty years after the first instance, that myopic's friend, Immortal Steven Keane, comes looking for payback on Duncan. Duncan realizes that Keane is doing pretty much the same thing Duncan has done several times, settling a score from long ago and they're not that different.

Muggle–Mage Romance: Duncan's relationships with mortal women fits the trope. He is a centuries-old Immortal whose Healing Factor and combat skills render him nearly invulnerable. They are typically civilians with no special abilities and are vulnerable to aging, illness, and wounds. When they know what he is, their reactions can vary, but they are played for drama. The two most notable mortal lovers, Tessa Noel and Dr. Anne Lindsey, found themselves in the first lines of combat and had their perspectives in life changed. The series also explores other dynamics between Immortal and mortal couples, ranging from lifelong bonds and marriages to abusive relationships and mismatched pairings. An unusual pairing involved Immortal Walter Reinhardt and mortal Rebecca Lord. He trained her in sword combat and arranged events to send her against his Immortal rivals, essentially expecting her to fight for him.

Eternal Love

comment
Eternal Love: The DeValincourts, for the most part. They were rivals who fell in love and married each other in 1696. They were still married in 1996, though they briefly considered divorce due to boredom with their life. One shared adventure later, they were convinced to stay together and spice up their life a bit more. Others have pointed out to them that "In the end, there can be only one," but they retort that it's not "the end" yet, and until that time comes, they can still enjoy their lives together. Duncan and Amanda have a long-standing on-again-off-again relationship. As revealed in the episode "Legacy", they first met in 1635 and were still dating each other by 1998. In the romantic comedy episode "Dramatic License", the two confirm that they love each other, but do not dare marry. Duncan asks Amanda how long she could see them spending together, every hour, every day. Amanda realizes that they would get on each other's nerves and end up killing each other. Duncan replies "Exactly my point."

The Hero Doesn't Kill the Villainess
 Highlander / int_bc252ea0
comment
The Hero Doesn't Kill the Villainess: Duncan tends to be very reluctant to kill off evil female Immortals. It happens every now and then, but usually only after he's given them far more chances than he tends to give male Immortals, and he's just as likely to let female Immortals go in situations where he would stop at nothing to bring down a male Immortal. The most pointed case was the episode "Chivalry", which revolves around Kristen, a villainous female Immortal and a former lover of Duncan's. Centuries earlier Kristen murdered a woman MacLeod had started to fall for as their relationship was falling apart, and in the show's present-day, she tries to do the same to Duncan's apprentice Richie when he appears to reject her in favor of someone else. Despite this, MacLeod cannot bring himself to kill Kristen due to a combination of his code of chivalry against taking a woman's life and still having feelings for Kristen despite her vile actions. In comes Methos, an Immortal who's survived for 5000 years and is the most critical and challenging of Duncan's views. When a bewildered Kristen asks who he is, Methos simply proclaims that he comes from a time long before chivalry. Unlike Duncan, Methos has no issue with killing a woman who is a threat to him or his friends, and he takes Kristen's head in short order.

Wrecked Weapon: Duncan gives Felicia Martin a rare katana as he teaches her to fight and the rules of the Game. Unfortunately, Felicia is really Felice Marten, a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing whose MO is to pose as a newbie Immortal, get another Immortal to take her in and teach her their fighting style, then kill them with it. She and Duncan duel on a beach, and he ends the fight by breaking her weapon, then giving a "The Reason You Suck" Speech about that sword would have served her well if she'd used it honorably. Duncan ends his final duel with Kalas by cutting his longsword in half. Kalas throws down the broken blade, daring Duncan to kill him, since he had a great insurance plan in place. Luckily for our hero, Kalas Didn't Think This Through. Kanwulf is after Duncan to get back the Axe of Odin Duncan took from him centuries ago. Duncan retrieves it, and gives it to Kanwulf, but brings the Clan MacLeod Claymore with him to do battle. The final blow of the fight has the Claymore shatter the Axe's haft and is also evidently the blow that severed Kanwulf's head from his shoulders. Haresh Clay breaks Richie's rapier with his first attack, leaving Richie unarmed and on the run for the remainder of the episode.

Life Drinker: Variant. Immortals don't suck the life out of people to stay alive, but if they behead another immortal they will absorb their knowledge and skill. If an Immortal is decapitated by a mortal, or by a machine, the Quickening is absorbed by the Immortal closest to the death. It's never been shown what happens when there is no Immortal nearby at all. When Hugh Fitzcairn was put in that situation, he implies the Quickening (and hence his entire life) would be totally wasted. note Longstanding Fanon holds that the unabsorbed power goes back out into the world to create new potential Immortals, explaining why the Gathering is seldom mentioned after Horton's killing spree.

Fanon
 Highlander / int_c303b56d
comment
The first season tries to pattern itself after the movie and states that "The Gathering", the encounter of the last surviving Immortals to fight for the Prize, is taking place. However, as the show moved forward and more and more Immortals were mentioned or introduced, all mentions of the Gathering were dropped. Fanon says that too many Immortals dying without a Quickening at the hands of the Hunters sent all their power out to create new Immortals, delaying the Gathering indefinitely.

Shout-Out
 Highlander / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Cross with Actor Allusion. Geraint Wyn Davies guest starred in 'Turnabout' in season 2, during the time he was starring in Forever Knight. His character on Highlander had a girlfriend named Jeanette, just like his character on the other series, though hers was spelled 'Janette'. Kalas, the main villain of Season 3, owns several music-related companies and businesses. A few episodes depict a jazz club that he owns. He chose to name his club Nosferatu. The Watcher's Chronicles CD-ROM was released by the producers of the series to add background information on the major and minor characters of the series. It also introduced a few characters not actually depicted in the series, as mentors or associates of existing characters. An ancient immortal is named "Obelix the Gaul", after the superhuman character from Asterix. Obelix is mentioned as the mentor of the immortal character Paul Karros, from the series. Karros has mentioned how he fought against the Romans in the 1st century BC and how he hated them. The Romans happen to be the main villains in Asterix and the comic book series takes place in the 1st century BC.

Killed Off for Real: A recurrent theme of the series. Heroes and villains, Immortals and mortals, even major characters like Charlie, Tessa, and Richie are killed off. Nobody really returns, though a few continue to appear in flashbacks and hallucinations. It's made explicit in one episode where a rival immortal devoted her life to avenging a killed loved one. Duncan could empathize but pointed out that "Nothing you do brings anyone back. Once they're dead... nothing."

Still Fighting the Civil War
 Highlander / int_d2725671

Still Fighting the Civil War: Some immortals are shown to still be obsessed with fighting old battles for long-gone causes, usually on the losing side. Kanwulf in "Homeland" is shown to have been waging glorified Viking raids for generations, and is still disdainful of the "White Christ" long after his own people converted to Christianity. At one point, Duncan confronts an immortal German who had served as a Nazi SS officer, and is still plotting to revive the Third Reich through a racist movement. William Culbraith in "The Messenger" was a Confederate colonel during the Civil War and is still fighting it by the time Duncan crosses paths with him again.

However, a few episodes later, Duncan has acid thrown in his face and is none the worse for wear, so...

Drugs Are Bad
 Highlander / int_de7b7cbf
comment
Drugs Are Bad: Duncan and Richie both hate drugs and drug dealers, because both of them have seen what drug abuse leads to. Appears in the episode "Courage". In the 19th century, Immortal Brian Cullen wanted to run away from his problems and starts using opium. He apparently spent most of the 19th century and 20th century as a drug addict and drug dealer. He resurfaces in the 1990s as an out-of-control menace to society, with his previous good qualities eradicated. He forces Duncan to a duel to the death and has to be put down like a rabid dog. Duncan mourns the good man that Brian was before he started using drugs. In “Road Not Taken�, a Chinese immortal is trying to perfect a drug to increase human stamina and strength. Unfortunately, it pretty consistently kills its users. Then the drug is stolen by his mortal apprentice, who uses it to empower others to commit crimes. They die of the drug's side effects after handing over the loot, and nothing is left to point back to the mastermind. In “The Sea Witch�, Richie’s friend turns up with several kilograms of stolen drugs. Duncan flushes it all, adamant that it not get back on the street.

Ignore the Fanservice: In the Season 3 finale, the villain Kalas holds the beautiful Amanda hostage. She attempts to seduce him and makes sure to show some skin. Kalas casually informs her that he had spent most of his life in a monastery, with the implication that he has been trained to resist temptation. This stops her efforts. This may fit his Story Arc as Kalas has been depicted in several time periods, and he is always depicted as celibate and uninterested in romance.

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: In "The Modern Prometheus", Lord Byron is revealed to have been not only an Immortal but a pupil of Methos. During a scuffle with another Immortal, Byron was spotted by a drunk Mary Shelley. The sight of Byron healing from his wounds, plus the Quickening which ensued, were the inspiration for Shelley's Frankenstein. The Watcher Chronicles CD-Rom lists several other aliases Byron has used over the years. Among them is James Douglas Morrison. One of the books references Elvis Presley being an immortal who ultimately hired an Elvis impersonator and had to move away from all the attention he was getting. It's a nod to all the alleged Elvis sightings in the years since his death. Another novel has as a villain Niccolo Machiavelli, author of The Prince. He was still scheming to take over the world in modern times and lost his head to Duncan in the end.

Faking the Dead: When an Immortal has lived in an area long enough that their lack of aging will be noticed, or they are killed in front of witnesses, they accept the death or stage one and pick a new name and city in which to live. Most notably, when Anne witnesses Duncan's death, Duncan moves to Paris and allows her to continue to believe he's dead for good. For a while, anyway. Narratively, many times an Immortal is killed and continues to feign death after their resurrection so the killer will drop their guard.

comment
Well-Intentioned Extremist: James Horton. He considers the Immortals to be monsters and threats to humanity. So he wants to eliminate them all, end the Game, and protect humans. How far he is willing to go for this increasingly makes him a monster.
