of course you don't... most brainless mainstream media fed sheeple will never be able to think beyond that of the mainstream narrative. I bet if a politician named duncan macleod ran for president you would vote for him on that alone
The fire at Notre Dame Cathedral is a brutal tragedy. I had to come here and watch this episode. 17:30 - Duncan and Tessa meet for the first time while she's a tour-guide talking about the cathedral. [4/16/2019] . . . it served as the perfect backdrop for immortal drama.
@@lauriedavis400 If you're not a fan of bullshit, then you should be voting the POS-in-Chief out of office; he is the master of bullshit in all colors and consistencies.
Poor Duncan is always finding trouble while fetching the groceries! At least after 400 years, he's learned how to carry his weight! Duncan just looks wrong with that powder wig and pale skin :( Gosh...I am soooooo glad to have found this series on youtube...I LOVED this show :)
campiest villein ever, !!! nice change from the ''i am an evil immortal, time to talk with deep and unconvincing growly voice'' brigade that we are used to.
if you're immortal, and can no longer get intoxicated through drugs or alcohol then it's believable that someone could get a taste for fine absinthe over time...
Fun Fact: Up to the Nineties Absinthe had been forbidden in Europe and was rated as poisen because the strong Fusel Alcohol can turn a person blind or even worse.
After living soo long, he's pretty much lived and been all over the world. In most cities he probably has a foot or more long record. From him fighting to playing investigative reporter and professional instigator ..oh yeah and while beheading and receiving quickening the destruction of property. I wonder if he ever gave money to the places that were destroyed while fighting and receiving quickening.
He ment they were the old version of internet trolls before internet trolls existed because they literally troll people. I don’t see how y’all got this confused. Jesus y’all must got the Slowening.
Every TV show or movie that takes place in France always has someone walking around with a grocery bag that has a long loaf of french bread sticking out of it.🥖
French bread is only good fresh. It gets stale fast. It's not meant to keep for long periods or refrigerated. So one would have to buy it often. At least this is my experience buying it. Never been to France but based on things I read and what people have told me, it's the same there.
@@supremeio5930 Not necessary due to the traditional way of the bread baking itself but by the nowdays cheap ways factory bread is baken. Same happened in Germany THE TRADITIONAL BAKERIES AND THE OLD WAYS OF BAKING are dying out slowly in favor for frachised bakeries and supermarkets getting their more inexpeinsive done products made quick and with much less care in the industrial way out of a factory just to put it in an oven to let appear it fresh. And not only that, this kind of mass product even molds faster due to the not always disclosured contents and due to less hygenic working procedures to keep production costs low. So scandals in the European food production are also here regularily the case. So it is really down to you don´t pay much you don´t get much out of it.
Another example of HIGHLANDER recycling actors. The old liquor store seller would be seen again in the S04 Episode PROMISES, where he would portray a foreign county leader with a chip on his shoulder whose bodyguard - Kassim - was an elegant Moorish Immortal who held Mac to an old oath between them to help him keep the descendants of his old master in the seat of power.
Gotta share my love to my fellow Highlander groupies. Loved this show as a kid - steamy cable action pseudo period fiction with epic swordfights and an even more epic ponytail. So damn weird. This episode was so kitschy but I loved the Tessa+Mac origin. And I LOVE all the hilarious mime jokes. Y’all rock! I think I found my people here! ❤️
When I’m in Paris working I literally spend all my free time seeking out Highlander filming locations. And I just stand there and pretend it’s 1994. You’re not alone.
🤷♀️ So i watched this episode before Cretinous Jester and now seeing it again, it made me think of your comment. Certainly _that_ deserves for me to come back and give a “👍🏻”! And i agree, such a fun villain! i especially enjoy his many varied facial expressions! Maybe he worked harder at it since he was playing a mime? lol! 😬
AHA turn up in the morning to shoot their video, and find the placed has been trashed. The sun always shines on TV, except when there's been a quickening.
He probably sharpened his katana extra sharp for him as his way of thanking him for his part in being with Tessa. His head has to still come off but if thr blade is extra sharp it's as merciful as a beheading gets
The still shot of the building at 48:40 is the same building where Methos and Kronos "reunited" after Methos returned from being nailed in the heart by Kronos' knife in episode "Comes a horseman".
+Michael Anderson Reusing stock footage is an old tv magic trick used for saving on budget. Particularly on shows that have special effects. They always make for fun easter eggs though. :)
Submitted for your approval: an alternate/ but BETTER? ENDING ... INSPECTOR LEBRON: (menacingly) “it’s my guess i’ll be seeing _you_ again!” LeBron jumps in his car and slams the door! The car *EXPLODES!!* 💥💥💥🚙💥💥💥 MacLeod’s worries are *over!* 😬 TA-DAA!! Watcha think? 🤷♀️
CINEDIGM/ FOR EVIL´S SAKE was one of the very best episodes. I always enjoyed watching this one. 24:11 Guess the first movie showing all those window puppets in a context like this was BLADERUNNER 33:08 THAT STORE FOR FINE WINE AND LIQUORS - LE BON HOMME = THE GENTLEMAN. In Contenental Europe those stores have a much higher reputation and better clientel as most of those in the States. Also the quality and the prices for their goods is usually much higher.
+Irishsong22 Perhaps it was. The actor is french, so perhaps he was dubbed into english because the producers thought, his accent is too thick! I know they've done that later, with "Luther" Emile Abossolo M'Bo.
I'm almost certain this episode was dubbed. The scene where Macleod visits him in the hospital is especially bad... Neither of their voices match their mouth movements at all. It's like watching an old kung fu movie.
Duncan never lied to the inspector. Duncan would answer a question with a question and not answer the inspector question. When Duncan said inspector assistant lied to you all these years but you believe him about this the inspector he was had. Then when he said your going to say he was here all night. She did not answer the question she just said you would not want me to lie and the inspector case died on the spot. The moral of the story never get angry give the people against you enough rope and their own words will hang there case.
What was Duncan doing at 16:00? Knowing another Immortal is very close at hand, but still wandering up there without his sword, and getting caught completely off guard with Kuyler's sword at his neck. That should have been game (and series) over right there!
+Lardon2 One problem. From 5:53 to 9:28 who was performing the music? There was no live band seen in any angle and in 18th century...anywhere, it was unlikely anyone brought a "Boom box" along to a cocktail party.
I remember the first time I saw this over 2 decades ago. I always thought "Hey, it's Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedy's as an immortal!", turned out to be Peter Howitt instead. I love this episode and I love this series as well as the first movie. As soon as I get my hands on some funds, I'm gonna order the complete series on DVD. Highlander rules...
22:28 The guy who sells Duncan the absinthe would appear in a later episode as a pompous, murderous ambassador. By the way, it was thus episode that made me aware of absinthe. I have been living in Asia seven years now , and one night about three years ago, a friend of mine and I went to a bar where they stocked absinthe and I ordered it. The waiter prepared it with the flame, sugar cube, water in the special container, everything. It stung me at first but I enjoyed it. I'm not one for drinking alcohol except on special occasions, like my birthday, Christmas and New Year's, but next to French and Chilean red wine, absinthe has become a favorite of mine.
I cant remember which episode it was but I do implicitly remember The last recorded case of two immortals fighting on Holy Ground was in Pompeii 79 AD. So yeah Immortal + holy ground = wrath of god type punishment.
It actually has nothing to do with punishment from a deity, and more to do with the fact that when one immortal sleighs another on sacred ground (religion having nothing to do with it, but rather the belief of those who consider it sacred), some of the life energy from the slayer along with that of the slain is absorbed by it.
@@TheOfficialIceman no. I do not know where you got it but what you wrote is not Canon. It is clearly explained that a cataclysm may occur. It is also implied in the series that immortals have divine beginnings. The wrath of whoever created the rules occur.
I think the writers could have enhanced the highlander series by being more animated with the quickening, for example, in this episode, , when Duncan took his head they should have allowed the mannequins to be more animated, during Duncan's quickening.
@Ben1977820 I remember in one of the episodes, "Little Tin God" I think it was called, that Dawson mentioned that the Watchers had a report about two immortals fighting in a temple. It was in 79 AD on Mt. Vesuvius, when the volcano erupted. According to Dawson, it was the only known recording of an immortal beheading on holy ground. Possibly that is what caused the volcano to erupt.
@ulysseslament true, a very old character can be annoying. but you have more of a chance to build up a story and background with characters that are older, such as fitz and amanda
Yes. I liked this satirical scene as well I am not a fan of this kind of modern art myself By myyelff I call those things impressions from a junkyard And I don´t buy the defence of those folks you have to figure out the meaning of those objects for yourself.
LegoMan10952 If you were going to try to make a getaway in a cab, or a bus you'd make a crummy crook. Also the reason why most bad guys escape on motorbikes instead of cars is simple. You can go places, and do things on a motorbike that you can't do in a car.
I was just thinking this myself, about Tessa and what an ideal she is of both strength and femininity, which is something that should not be so rare. I think there are some women like her still around, but they're few and far between... Smartphones and the internet have really devastated the values of our culture.
yes it is ..........Duncan dresses like a man .......and Tessa is very stylish .......not like now We did dress like that back in the 80, 90's now its sweat pass and leggings...ughhhhhh
@@Rainfeather1 Well, some of us still know the value of a classic long coat, a nice scarf, a beret etc...just because most dress like duds doesn't mean you have to. But it is becoming almost impossible to find good stuff in shops; online seems often the only way. But I disgress...M. et Mme. McCloud would have looked good in postal sacks.Just a fact of life.
lol Rainfeather1 but i wore leggings back then too! 🤷♀️ Oh that’s right, i have no style! Though i’d rather have “grace”. i totally lack any kinda grace. 😕
@Reader4077 True, Fitz was always a blast, Amanda I could take or leave; not sure which season it was in, but the episode with her and that Cory character, very annoying. Now Kronos, aaah, that was a character, super old, super interesting, but pure evil
