Um, Jilli warning, I guess?

Ugh. Everybody warning!
I clicked but did not wait for the video to load...circle of life and all, but eek.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Can somebody who's actually seen it (Dana? Shrift?) comment on this assessment of the Highlander TV series?
The TV Show is its own animal.
First Two Seasons: Liked them at the time, they do not hold up. Wildly varying degrees of quality.
Third-Fifth Season: A lot more watchable, consistent quality.
Sixth Season: Absolute Train Wreck. NEVER WATCH. Actually this starts with the Fifth Season finale, the episode where the writers went insane.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm so proud of myself.
One reason why I'm not a nature program presenter - I would be too sorely tempted to add Benny Hill music once the video speeds up.

Ugh -- thanks, BT! Now I have Benny Hill earworm right before I go to bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hec, that's a pretty fair assesment, although harsh on the earler seasons and gentle on the last. In summary: Methos!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
In summary: Methos!
I concur.

I mostly agree about Highlander with added:
Killing Tessa off was bogus, even if the actress wanted out.
Shirtless training sequences, YAY.
Some stand alone episodes were genius.
Guest stars were awesome...mostly.
In conclusion: Methos!
eta: The series finale was lame, but the soundtrack made me cry anyway.
