Great addition to my collection! I love it! I've been looking for it everywhere when I had a V8 moment and turned to Amazon.
Highlander Series Season 5 January 20, 2008
Patti Yaeger
This was the latest of the series I bought for my son.
He now has the first five. He loves them so much that guess
I will have to check for a season six?
I have always been pleased with service and quality of purchases made
through this site.
The Strongest Season January 18, 2008
Ervin Griffin (Bluefield, WV)
I have to agree with the other reviewers, this season was by far the strongest of all of them. Nearly every episode was good, even the weaker ones.
We see more of Duncan's past as characters such as Cassandra and Melvin Korin, otherwise known as Kronus (more on him later), reappear in Duncan's life. We see a change in the relationship between Duncan Macleod and Richie Ryan. We find out more about Methos (more on that later too) and we get some new interesting characters!
There were two comedy episodes that I just loved. Both involved Adrian Paul and Elizabeth Gracen. While "Dramatic License" was a good one, the duo is even funnier when they have Roger Daltry with them as Hugh Fitzcain in "The Stone Of Scone."
Back to Methos and Kronus, they made a huge impact in the Highlander universe when Duncan discovers from his friend/lover Cassandra that Methos was a murderer, rapist, killer, etc. over 5,000 years ago along side Kronus as part of The Four Horsemen in the episodes "Comes A Horsemen" and "Revelations 6:8." Duncan must now stop this band of immortals while deciding whether or not to kill Methos in order to prevent their evil from walking the earth again!
Personal Note: I hope I am not the only one that feels this way but those two episodes should've been a feature film! Had it had been, it could've rivaled even the original Highlander as the best film of the franchise!
Back to Season 5, the relationship between Duncan and Richie comes to a shocking and tragic end in the final episode called "Archangel." The ramifications are felt throughout Season 6.
Overall, this is (in my view) the best season of Highlander! Just for the Horsemen episodes, its worth the money alone and may be the ONLY season I would pay more than $40 for! To quote an earlier reviewer, if you buy only one season of Highlander, this is the one to buy! Highly recommended!
My favorite season... January 2, 2008
Gloria M. Dunn (Memphis, TN)
This is my favorite season of Highlander. I enjoy almost every episode in this set. If you are only going to buy one season buy this one. It seems as if this was the season when everything came together for the Highlander people.
Excellent, though would really give it 4 1/2 stars if I could August 29, 2007
GatoRat (United States)
This season probably has the highest number of fantastic episodes. Unfortunately, it has a few real stinkers as well, including the most notorious where the producers betrayed the fans.
