Okay so Highlander
has finished now, but it's still one of the best TV shows
of the 1990's (except for season six, but we won't go into
that and if you want to see how it should have happened go
to HFS
:-)). For those who don't know, the two gentlemen to the left
of this paragraph are Richie Ryan (played by Stan Kirsh) and
Duncan MacLeod (played by Adrian Paul), both of whom are Immortals.

I had a look
round on the web and there are still plenty of places for Highlander
fans to go.There are selected
links on the page you are looking at now, but the majority have
been moved to their own
page.

Duncan
MacLeod, the Highlander, born in 1592 in the Highlands of
Scotland and he is still alive.
What can I say about DM: he's a dude. The smoothest, best
looking, most honourable Highlander of them all. He's not
my favourite character, but an Immortal universe is just not
an Immortal universe without a dark, sexy hero. (And here's
a little flag waving for the Evil Duncan from the episodes
Something Wicked and Deliverance). |

Richie |
| Now
Richie Ryan is the character of whom I am most fond. He's
been in the show since the very first episode, but his role
has changed considerably over the five seasons I recognise
as good TV :-). He started out in the Gathering as an every
day street punk, who of all things was robbing MacLeod's antique
shop. Throughout the first season he was the mortal side kick:
there to ask all the right questions and be kidnapped every
now and then. Then, a few episodes into season two, a revelation:
Richie is killed and voil la, we find out he is Immortal.
Since then he's been through pupil, to fledgling Immie, right
up to fellow, sword carrying, full grown, Immortal friend
of Duncan's. |

| Methos |
 |
Methos
is the oldest living Immortal and has been wandering the earth
for over five thousand years. He's also goes by the name of
Adam Pierson, a Watcher
researcher
in charge of the Methos chronicles, so he makes sure he never
finds himself. Watchers were introduced at the beginning of
season two, Methos came along at the end of the third year.
The Darling old man, as he has become known in certain circles,
is played by Peter Wingfield, a very talented British actor.
I always fall for the sidekicks in a show and Methos comes
a very close second to Richie. He has a wicked sense of humour
and a love of beer: a truly great character. |

Amanda
|
Now,
how to explain Amanda? Duncan once described her as a "bad
habit", and she has a tendency to land the Highlander
bang in the middle of trouble. A reformed thief, she has been
known to use her cat burglar talents to assist Mac when the
need has arisen. Amanda is 1175 years of age and she's seen
a lot of the world in her time. Her relationship with Duncan
is complicated, in that sometimes it's on, sometimes it off,
but it's always amusing when she meets up with any of his
other flames. She has a piece of the Methuselah crystal which
her mentor Rebecca gave her when she had taught her about
her Immortality. The complete crystal is said to make an Immortal
invincible or a Mortal immortal and has caused some interesting
interludes.
Amanda is played by Elizabeth Gracen, a very talented actress
who was once Miss America. Since
Highlander the series finished Amanda got her own show. It
only lasted a season but what a ride. Click here
