I really wished Sullivan had a good character with more details. He was one of Duncan's mentors and one of his closest friends so he definitely deserves a big fix. Since the episode wasn't entirely flawed.
If you're into fanfiction, don't worry, Keogh will get his comeuppance in my ongoing fanfiction crossover. I agree with the list essentially, especially Keogh, Alec and Jennifer Hill, Christine Salzer, Kristin Gilles, and Liam O' Rourke. The last two might be a tad better, if not at all, in my ongoing passion project crossover.
@@pop-culturecinephile8144 I would have done so by now, but UA-cam wouldn't let me for some reason. I tagged you in my videos related to the story. Hopefully, you'll see them.
You're 100% on the dot. Irena deserved better. She seemed like a really lovely lady. In fact it occurs to me that in another timeline, where it was Jacob that Horton slew and Irena who got away, things would have played out much better for everybody. Not being vengeful or bloodthirsty, Irena would NOT go on a Watcher killing spree. This means that Joe doesn't get put on trial, a lot of Watchers get to live and Joe and Duncan's friendship never gets torn apart. Potentially this could even mean that Duncan is able to reconcile with Richie quicker, which makes Richie that bit more likely to survive the Season 5 finale. Out of curiousity, if Irena had been properly trained, what sword would she have used?
@pop-culturecinephile8144 I'd send you the link by now, and I tried but it won't let me, so I tagged you via comments of the videos connected to my story.
That’s also because not many episodes in season one I found actually bad. Some villains were either just not memorable or mediocre, but none of them were outright bad in that season.
@@pop-culturecinephile8144 its like the writers portray that duncan's katana is like a lightsaber, because i'm pretty sure that there is no way you can behead someone like that. I know its fiction but at least the beheading has to make sense
No Kalas? Or how about Rowdy Roddy Piper's appearance? Or the Sea Witch episodes. I hated that guy's performance. My apologies if you did include them.... I blacked out threw some of them due to diabetes and your dialog about each one. PS... Amanda "should've" been the one to take Kenneth (kenny) out.
I'm re watching the series again, I cant wait for the terrible episodes again. The real Villain is the "bad" Immortals swords. Cheap Flea market stuff from the 90's
@pop-culturecinephile8144 - Well that's something that I'd enjoy, as Horton is my 2nd favorite antagonist of the franchise. And when he's standing toe-to-toe with Duncan in "Unholy Alliance" in the crypt, my dear sweet lord, the sheer arrogance he exudes! Just staring him down saying "How would you like to kill me? With your sword? No, I think you'd prefer to use your bare hands... Feel the life drain away from me." *_THAT_* is a villain!
@@FreddyKurganNimmo, he tempted fate though. Duncan used his bare hands to turn Horton’s knife on him and finish him off. I always wondered what happened to Lynn though. She always fascinated me
@pop-culturecinephile8144 - Given the knowledge you've displayed in your Highlander videos, I'd wager that you already know this, but the only update we got on Lynn was that sometime before the end of season 5, she moved back to Chicago. I paid some extreme attention to the films & episodes. I have literally watched each one(well, the first 4 films, and the first 106 episodes of The Series) over 100 times each(Season 6 & The Raven episodes about 50 times each). I've subjected myself to The Source about 12 times, and The Animated Series about 30 times for the first 11 episodes, and about 5 times for the remaining 29 episodes. I always chuckle when I recognize stock/reused footage in episodes. When Horton shoves Robert off the balcony in "The Watchers", the same footage of the body falling is used when Richie escapes from nearly being killed by Kristin in "Chivalry"😆 On top of the multitude of times during quickenings that they cut in quick shots from Highlander 2(lights breaking inside the subway train). I hope you follow through on the Horton video👍🗡
Mako imay be the dumbest immortal, he is stuck in the stage and still attacks Richie I like Kamir, rather than having Duncan take Richie's head Kamir could have been his 2nd mentor
@@pop-culturecinephile8144 For one simple reason. She questions Duncan’s right to judge her for judging others. That set up that beautiful monologue from Methos … and then later, it set the tone for much of season 6. That said, I agree that her motivation itself was pretty stupid.
@@arstropica, well, he was showing her how it felt when you’ve been judging others, and then yourself have been judged. It ultimately doesn’t matter. For she did not know him, and she seemed to forget to bring her sword as sooner or later, the Gathering was inevitable. In the end there will be only one. Besides, won’t her fighting violence with violence, just create more violence? I don’t think the Soviet Union will come back at all. And I also don’t think the US will go back to the way it was before Dr. King spoke.
@@pop-culturecinephile8144 The Valkyrie is actually one of my favorite episodes. I actually liked the fact that there was no sword fight at the end, just a dialogue about right and wrong. It's ironic is that it was Duncan who learned what it felt like to judge others. (Ingrid felt nothing since died doing what she believed in.) Even then, I believe that she got under his skin in a way that only a few ever did. In a way, she pushed him closer to Darius' perspective on killing. Not that I agree with or endorse her logic, but I liked the way the episode was written.
@pop-culturecinephile8144 Karros was 2000 years old and boring compared to Grayson and even younger villians like Kane and Kern and Consone and Martin Hyde Who were all bad asses

@@phanhosfatannf8713, that’s a huge project for the series
Great job I like your list
What do you agree with and what you don’t agree with though?
I guess you don't know that according to the Watcher's Chronicles, Jakob Galati was his wife's first teacher of the Game.
@@BrotherDerrick3X, I know that already, but it seems like he spent most of his time courting her instead of teaching her to defend herself
Interesting no one from season 1 was mentioned.
Kristen reminds me as a female version of Carlos Sendaro,
except Carlos was at least a little charming
