So Season 1 really reminds me of a combination of the Forever Knight show and Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel (fight scenes) with the Ryuki storyline (even tho Highlander came long before Ryuki, I still saw Ryuki first).
I'm about 5 episodes in and already saw 2 21 Jump Street cameos from Deluise and Nguyen which totally fucking rocked hard.
I'm going to have to rewatch the movie again just answer some questions. I dont have any names memorized yet except Duncan and Tess lol. I watch this **** at work so I cannot sit and focus on what I'm watching 100%. Hopefully that'll change once I grab the Blu-ray set of Season 1 and the Movie to watch in the mornings after work with an ice cold beer, which I'm doing now with Terminator: TSCC HD.
Wow, you been hanging around this bunch of nuts and just now getting into Highlander? If you don't mind another opinion let me break down how I see things.
Must watch: Highlander (obviously lol), and Highlander: the series season 1-5
Season 6 was ****?.
I found an amazing looking complete DVD boxed set that contains ALL seasons. I might just pick that up aswell as another season 1 on Blu-ray... because this is **** that needs to be in HD. Infact I might even pick up the Movie 1 & Season 1 Blu-rays today if I got time before going to see Predators.
The animated series was horrible.
Luckily I could give 2 fucks about anime. :thumbs:
Haha, you discovered Highlander Knight? Cool. Got the right order, too.
The first movie is good, then watch the series. Highlander: Endgame sort of "caps off" the television series, but whether or not you accept it as canon is up to you.
The other movies though? Avoid 'em. That stuff's Go-Onger terrible.
So Movie 1, The Series (Seasons 1-6), and End Game
then after that... Watch all of the shitty movies.
That shall be the plan.
Watch the shitty movies, Forever Knight... know the pain of a Highlander fan. I'd like to see what you think of them. :anime:
You should know by now that I am a person who must watch and complete everything so yeah... shitty movies will be watched eventually.
Holy **** dude, just how the hell have you gone this long without knowing the awesomeness of the quickening?!?!?
:O_O:
I've seen bits of the first Highlander movie and a few of the series episodes many years ago but never really cared or got into it. What caught more of my interest was how people were saying it was similar to Kamen Rider Ryuki where there can only be 1. Fast forward to now... I've been on a misson watching and finding new shows {Lost, Eureka, Dead Zone, 4400, Farscape, etc...} and one of Keith's facebook status updates had something with Highlander in it and I automatically thought of Ryuki and said NOW IS THE TIME and thank God I did. This show blows the other new shows I'm watching out of the fucking water.
Highlander 2 is only bad depending on which version you watch. If you watch the normal version released in theaters, then yes it is pretty bad. If you watch The Quickening version, which is basicly the directors cut, then it is not that horrible. It's still not the best movie ever made, but it's not the shitfest everyone makes it out to be.
I'll be sure to download the Quickening version, thanks.
