In the GOAT T.V. series discussion for sure...
And that's undisputed in my book.

Yep one of my favorite series.
As i have said before it really dealt with immortality in a realistic fashion that wasn't seen before and showed how damn depressing it would be.
Minus all the chicks you could bang and not get STDS or get them knocked up because sterility and healing powers!
Only if you forget about the finale for season 5 and almost the entirety of season 6 then yes. You are correct.
I will admit the immortal girls in season 6 were nice to look at, at least. But they should have just given everyone what they wanted and just did a damn Methos spinoff.It's true. It's true
Although I did like the supernatural angle at the end of season 5.
But yeah they completely screwed that up in season 6 no doubt

The original Highlander film was the shit. It gets a 10/10 from me.
Nah man Conor was cool but Duncan would've beat his ass. Duncan killed him in one of the movies but I don't consider that canon. Mainly because that movie sucked.
For real. It showed what immortality might be like in a fairly realistic way....at least for the time. Immortality would NOT be all good.
Yep! No herpes for immortals!
And Tessa was fuckin bangin! I never knew why she didn't make more movies. That girl was fine as fuck
The first movie was P4P for sure. I thought the third movie was very good also, and the series was a great adaption of the Highlander story.I do actually think the "geekification" of it that happened in turning it into a franchise does the original film a disservice reducing it just to the idea behind the mythology.
To me that film is a strangely effective melting pot, you have a lot 80's action references to it but also hints at 80's apocalypicism(Blade Runner, Escape from Newyork, Terminator), surprisingly deep dramatic fantasy with some very nice visual touches.
Afterwards the franchise tended to shift towards more wish fulfilment with its central concept but the original did actually have more depth to it.

I'm guessing there was some retcon involved though, because after the first movie there shouldn't have been any more immortals to keep the story rolling.
