Highlander: The Raven

Why didn't this spinoff series work? There are so many reasons. Let's start at the top.I think the lead wasn't strong enough. And that wasn't Elizabeth Gracen's fault. The character of Amanda was a fabulous supporting character and love interest for Duncan. I always liked her a lot and enjoyed every episode she did on the original series. But Amanda was never written to be a lead

Highlander: The Source

(Movie : 2007)

Guardian: "There can be only me."

This review contains spoilers. But don't let that stop you. You don't want to waste your time by actually watching this movie.

Highlander doesn't have the greatest of reps when it comes to movies. They're all B movies. Sometimes C. The second Highlander movie was an F. I'd say this one was a D minus. I swear, the freaking

Highlander 3: The Final Dimension

(Movie : 1995)

Alex: "'There can be only one.' Only one what?"

Realizing the ghastly mistake they had made with Highlander 2, the very same producers decided that the answer was to just re-make the first movie. Yes, it was a smart decision to retcon the entire second movie, but remaking the first one was not the way to go.

The Final Dimension had Christopher Lambert reprise his role as

Highlander

(Movie : 1986)Brenda: "What can you tell me about a seven foot lunatic hacking away with a broadsword at one o'clock in the morning in New York City in 1985?"Connor: "Not much."As B-movies go, this one isn't all that good. But it did something extraordinary: it introduced a unique fantasy universe that has captivated fans for years. I've spent a lot of time fantasizing about the

My summer projects

May sweeps are over, and I'm taking a week off from writing. I'll be back the first week of June and starting my summer reviewing projects.Since Veronica Mars is now gone, I can take on another currently running show. It probably won't surprise you to hear that I'm taking on Supernatural, since I'm sort of half reviewing it already.Why Supernatural and not Prison Break? Because even though

Highlander Four-Star Episodes

Here's a list of what I consider to be four-star Highlander episodes. Note how long it took for them produce the first one.

Highlander series timeline

While writing the series reviews, I kept track of the flashbacks. In the episodes where no year is given, I used the DVD Watcher Chronicles as my source. If there were two flashbacks in a given year, I guessed which came first. And I had no idea this list would be so long. (Season and episode number are given in parens.)B.D. (Before Duncan)Bronze Age. The Four Horsemen and Cassandra. (5.11)Bronze

Depressed about Buffy, I turn to Highlander reruns for solace

May 3, 2003[Originally a Billie's Bytes column.]There are only three episodes remaining of Buffy, and possibly only one of Angel, since its fate has not yet been announced. In just a few short weeks, the finales will have finale'd (and I'll certainly be talking about them in my column). And then it will be summer. Or as I refer to it, the television wasteland.But there is hope. (No Faith, but
