It's all steeply downhill quality-wise for the series (& for the franchise) after these 2 eps, though I think the upcoming FUOT is right up there. Also, Byron's show is at least thought-provoking. And, Archangel has a spectacular ending. Otherwise.... There are a couple S6 eps that don't make me want to put out _both_ my eyes, but still--pale comparison to _good_ Highlander.

You mean Bill Panzer? Peter Davis usually stays behind the scenes. I haven't seen the S2 stuff yet, but Panzer did ALL the S1 stuff--badly. He's the boss; I don't think anyone directs him--more's the pity.

There are a couple Season 5 eps I'm still looking forward to, like Duende and Stone of Scone, but other than that, it's mostly downhill, yes. As for S6, the one one I really wanted to see, Indescretions aka Joe and Methos Road Show, isn't going to be shown. The last four aren't being shown. And I don't understand why in ToH and Indescretions, Duncan wasn't even there. And ToH had no recognizable characters at all. Sheesh. Sometimes I think about ignoring S6 altogether...not because of Richie, but because there weren't any eps in S6 up to the quality of some of the ones earlier on in the series. Lemme see...Season 1-not so bad, 2 had too many stinkers....IMHO, 3,4 and 5 is when many of the best eps aired. > > Nina (Cassandra--now SHE's an annoying > character....) > mac.westie@verizon.net Well, I can say I didn't like her and Mac together...and no, she's not one of my favorites.

IIRC, they decided to do S6 so late that a lot of the stars were busy. So Peter wasn't in the early eps and Adrian had to wrap up early. So Two of Hearts and Indescretions were actually the last two eps shot. Personally, ToHs is one of my very favorite eps, even without Duncan. Those guys had great chemistry. I would have loved watching a whole series about them.

Cassandra seems wrong to me--on so many levels. This time around, it was her accent that drove me up a wall; I was pulled out of the story every time she swanned around & laboriously let loose w/ some dialogue. Exactly WHAT was Tracy Scoggins going for w/ Cassandra's accent? Certainly wasn't her native Texas twang. >Would have > changed the whole dynamics if she were a sympathetic character....(or > actress - maybe in other hands...) Speaking of her hands, wasn't her manicure lovely back in the Bronze Age? But, on the other hand, Val Pelka was startlingly perfect as Kronos, start to finish, in both ages. I believe a couple actors who showed up in S6 auditioned for the part--Charles Daish (played Grant Thomas in Sins of the Father) & Andrew Bicknell (played Devon Merrick in Black Tower). Impossible to imagine.... Oddly, I've read that the writers thought VP was too small & pretty to play Kronos, so they cut his hair & added the wicked scar. And Duncan does Western chic better than should be legal--AP makes a yummy cowboy. The CAH flashback & the one back in S3's The Revolutionary were both set in 1867--in S. Texas & in Mexico, respectively--& were beautifully done, particularly considering they were shot outside of Vancouver--not exactly known for its southwestern-looking locales. Nina (I read someplace recently that cats sleep so much that a 7 year old cat has only been awake for 2 years. In that light, maybe Cassandra spent so much time on her hair & nails in 5,000 years that she's only had 3 weeks to work on sword skills; it would explain a lot.) mac.westie@verizon.net ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2003 15:14:47 -0700 From: FKMel <sgt_buck_frobisher@yahoo.com> Subject: Episode Question I'm trying to figure something out.
