AboutGisele Expertise I can answer about the main characters of the series, the rules of immortality (how it works), the Watchers, episodes, the sound track, Highlander books. I can`t answer questions about swords (although I do know which is Methos` sword...) and cars and barges...
Question There was a great episode in the Highlander TV series, which featured a rather charismatic evil Immortal who managed to subvert a very attractive female police detective(with black hair), she fell in love with him, and he then kills her shortly before he gets killed by McLeod. The evil immortal had a career as some sort of professional assassin. Which episode did he appear in, and what was the actor's name and the name of the actress who played the detective?
Also, was there ever any supernatural explanation for why the dead headless bodies didn't constantly get found by the police? Are they supposed to rot to dust instantly once beheaded? And can an Immortal behead another Immortal and get his/her energy when the latter Immortal has been (temporarily) killed, or does he have to wait until the other Immortal comes back to life? And what actually is supposed to happen if one Immortal beheads another Immortal in a holy place? Oh, and is the "prize" meant to be the same in the TV series as in the film version?
Also, is season 6 of Highlander really worth buying for DVD? I've heard it's really bad. I've only seen most of the episodes from the first 4 series.
(I like asking such questions as I feel that even a fantastical premise like Highlander needs to be relatively coherent in order to make a true story.)
Thanks,
Geoff
Answer <<<There was a great episode in the Highlander TV series, which featured a rather charismatic evil Immortal who managed to subvert a very attractive female police detective(with black hair)>>>
The episode is "Reluctant Heroes" (4th Season). The actress is Jill Teed (FBI Agent Kaayla Brooks) and the actor who plays the Immortal Paul Kinman is Peter Outerbridge.
>>>Also, was there ever any supernatural explanation for why the dead headless bodies didn't constantly get found by the police?>>>
No.
>>>Are they supposed to rot to dust instantly once beheaded?>>>
No.
>>>>And can an Immortal behead another Immortal and get his/her energy when the latter Immortal has been (temporarily) killed, or does he have to wait until the other Immortal comes back to life?>>>
When an Immortal is beheaded, he/she doesn't come back to life; there were cases in which the Immortal got the energy from the Immortal he *beheaded*.
>>>And what actually is supposed to happen if one Immortal beheads another Immortal in a holy place?>>>
I believe nothing, because in the movie "Endgame", something like that happened, and the Immortal who killed in a holy place got away with murder.
>>>Oh, and is the "prize" meant to be the same in the TV series as in the film version?>>>
I believe it is.
>>>Also, is season 6 of Highlander really worth buying for DVD? I've heard it's really bad.>>>
I have it taped, but I won't buy on DVD, unless I win the lottery and have a lot of money to spend. However, there are 2,0r 3 episodes that are good.
