Subject: Season Five dvd Commentary: Archangel, pt. 1 of 2
At last, the final episode of the fifth season, just in time for the
release of the sixth season. This one is long, so I'm breaking it into
two parts. The full commentary with screen captures can be found at:
http://www.wordsmiths.net/MacGeorge/episodes/Season5/Archangel.htm
COMMENTS: David A. says that it was the end of the fifth season and they
were looking for new directions to go and he thought of bringing in
Ahriman because “how can you one-up that?” David Tynan adds that one of
the problems the writers had was that they were always trying to up the
stakes for MacLeod, that fighting another bad Immortal from his past
every week would get pretty old after awhile.
Jim B. says all the actors knew that this was possibly the last season,
the last episode, and that over the years they had evolved relationships
both on and off screen. There was a nostalgic sense that these were
their last moments as an ensemble.
David says he was the one who came up with killing Richie and that,
after years of thinking about it, he’d do it again. He alludes to the
expense of actors increasing every year, and getting the “bang for the
buck,” and that Richie had played out his usefulness. “This isn’t
“Batman and Robin”, he says. This was The Highlander, and the show
wasn’t about Richie, unless they made it about some kind of love
interest, which, “we even thought about at one time, if you read the
fanzines, which I didn’t!”
AP says Richie was a great character and a great part of the series and
he was sad to see him go, but it was a necessary part of the show to
have it happen. There is a discussion by several commentators (AP, David
T., Jim Byrnes) about the fan reaction to Richie’s death, but they all
agreed that it was a necessary event.
Stan says he was glad to have left gracefully and didn’t fight to stay.
In a weird way, it was good because he was instantly more in demand at
conventions. Playing “Evil Richie” was really fun. During the fight
scene, he says Adrian was “really on his last leg at the end of the
season”, and that Stan had accidentally whacked Adrian in the head and
AP got pissed off at him. Stan jokes that there was probably not much
acting involved in that final stroke. He also says that, looking back,
it was the right thing to do and that after Richie died, the other
characters never stopped talking about him, and that he was honored to
be asked back to come back for the final two shows.
Dennis Berry describes the difficulty of the shot, that it was very hard
to do and was a very sad dramatic moment because of all the affection
they all had for Stan and the character of Richie.
AP says that killing a main character on Highlander was a good one
because the idea was that you never knew what was going to happen or who
was going to die. He says he had suggested that one of the major
characters die, that the show needed a jolt that would allow MacLeod to
really grow and change his way of being, that it caused a real
metamorphosis of his character, giving him a different perspective on
how to live his life.
David A. says that they were playing off of MacLeod’s guilt, that for a
lot of people who view themselves as heroes it becomes their job to save
the innocent and because of that they aren’t allowed to grow and become
whatever else they might be.
What they really wanted to do with the sixth season was to set it in a
dark, future post-apocalyptic place where Methos and Joe ask Duncan to
come back and save the world, and in so doing find redemption for
killing Richie. The producers told them there wasn’t a marketplace for
such a dark series, and David A. concedes that they were right. It would
have been fun to write and fun to act, but the “people in Peoria”
wouldn’t have been interested in it, and that it was important to be
reminded that in the end, “What you’re doing here is selling Cherios.”
Gillian says the end of season five would have been different if Richie
hadn’t died. It would have been Duncan and Richie side by side facing
whatever came, but that would have meant the return to “kicking the butt
of guys whose butts needed kicking” and backing off the deeper thread
they had been following - that the world isn’t that simple.
AP says that Stan was like a younger brother to him, and jokes that he
did boss him around, as he was wont to do since he had been bossing
around his real younger brother all his life.
OUTTAKES: They show a few takes of the walk-and-talk of Joe and Methos
and Richie talking about Duncan “losing it.” At the beginning of the
second one, PW is instructing Stan on giving him some emotional feedback
for PW to work off of, and just before he starts, he grins and adds,
“And stop pinching my bum, Jim,” before he launches without pause into
his dialogue.
They show a flashback that was never shown of their attempt to show the
initial meeting between Duncan and Connor immediately after Duncan had
taken the old hermit’s head. Duncan is standing in a foggy forest and a
distant figure on a horse gestures to him. Somehow, Duncan intuits that
it’s Connor. The scene looks lame and it was never used. Gillian smiles
and says, “It’s like it never happened.”
They show the two teaser versions of season six. MacLeod is in a large,
almost warehouse-like space. Methos knocks and yells that he knows Mac
is there. A kneeling Duncan snaps his fingers to turn on lights, showing
a cell-like, Spartan space, then claps his hand to open the door. Methos
enters, then Joe comes in via a wheelchair and offers Duncan his katana.
Duncan hesitates before he takes it. In the second version, the
beginning is pretty much the same, but the dialogue and action make it
clear that Duncan arranged for them to come, having decided for himself
that it was time for him to do battle.
JB’S COMMENTARY:
He says the Richie Ryan character had really come into his own, and when
they were in France, the actors hung out together a lot more because
they didn’t live there year-round and didn’t go back to their families
at the end of the day.
He says Val Pelka was a great guy and great to work with. Jim went over
to Paris every year and got “quite used to it.” He loved the old movie,
“Paris Blues”, and thought it was very cool. He ended up being a
musician and working in Paris. It was really a dream come true.
The barge was an interesting set because you have to shoot in reverse
and it could get really hot in there, doing Avatar, when they shot in
the summer and inside the barge was miserable. They also had tourist
barges constantly going by, but it was a fantastic location with a great
feel to it.
He liked the use of the triumvirate of evil characters that attack MacLeod.
The music behind the montage of Richie was based on something Jim had
written on the last day of shooting. The crying at the end when Richie
died was easy because “We’d been there for, like, 14 hours.”
THE EPISODE: The episode teaser opens with an elderly man searching a
cave in Iraq. His companion is a photographer who is skeptical and
derisive as Dr. Jason Landry asserts that “the fate of the world is as
stake!” They find a large statue of a winged demon holding a spear.
Landry translates the inscription identifying the statue as that of
Ahriman. Landry says they should all be afraid, that the thousand years
are up and “the demon is coming, and the dead will rise.” A red light
stabs out from the statue and the photographer is killed by a spear.
When Landry looks up, the spear on the statue is gone.
Six months later, Landry seeks out Duncan MacLeod as he and Richie are
returning from attending an opera. He says he’s come to warn Duncan that
“the time is at hand,” and babbles on about “he is coming” and that
MacLeod is the only one who can stop him. Just then Duncan’s attention
is caught by a figure at the top of the stairs. It’s his old nemesis
James Horton. Duncan takes off and Landry yells after him that he
doesn’t know what he’s facing, that he’s not ready, but Duncan goes
through a red mist, confronting Horton. Richie comes up behind, saying
there’s no one there, but Duncan follows what he sees, asking Horton how
he can still be alive. Horton taunts him, telling him he should ask
himself whether he has gone insane. Duncan draws his sword and chases up
the stairs, but Horton disappears. Richie insists that there was never
anyone there.
Back by the river, Dr. Landry is attacked by an unseen force, strangling
him. Duncan and Richie find him, and Duncan sees strangulation marks on
his neck. Richie thinks the man was mugged, that he was crazy, but
Duncan is concerned that the man was frightened, and that he had come
looking specifically for him, to warn him, he believes, about Horton.
They go to visit Horton’s gravesite and discover the body had just been
removed by Joe Dawson. They catch up to Joe at the airport as he is
transporting the body back to the states, Joe says, at his niece’s
request. Duncan is furious, convinced that Joe has lied to him once
again, and that Horton is still alive. Mac goes berserk, grabs a crowbar
and pries open the coffin, and even as we see a decomposed body in the
box, we also see a Horton with glowing red eyes, smiling as everyone is
convinced Duncan is losing it.
Duncan, not yet convinced Horton isn’t still alive, visits the morgue to
find out more about Landry, learning that his death had been ruled a
stroke rather than a homicide. While there, he sees another body and it
turns its head and looks at him with glowing red eyes.
That night, Duncan sees Kronos, dressed in ancient armor, in his barge.
Duncan tells him he can’t be real, and Kronos disappears. Duncan feels
another Immortal and dashes outside, his sword drawn, finding Methos,
who is taken aback when Duncan asks him if he’s seen Kronos.
Duncan goes to see Landry’s granddaughter, questioning her about Horton,
but she knows nothing. When he tells her what Landry had said just
before he died, she tells him that her grandfather was an archeologist
who had theories about good and evil fighting over the fate of the world
where nobody could see it. She says he was in search for some way to
defeat a great evil he thought was coming. She shows him her
grandfather’s journal, showing drawings and phrases concerning a
Zoroastrian myth about a cycle of evil that comes every thousand years,
and with “the next warrior, MacLeod” written in large letters. She also
shows him a tape recorded in the caves in Iraq, showing the conversation
about Ahriman and the death of the man we saw in the first scene.
Duncan takes the book and tells Richie what he learned. Richie is now
becoming convinced that there is something more going on than Duncan
going crazy, but Duncan is getting a little ragged around the edges,
wondering if any of what he is seeing or learning is real. Richie
mentions Cassandra’s prophesy, that maybe MacLeod has been chosen to
defeat this evil that is coming.
“What if I don’t want to be chosen?” Duncan asks, then tells Richie
about his first Quickening, when he encountered a hermit after he had
been immortal only three years and didn’t know what he was. We get a
flashback where the hermit greets Duncan mysteriously, knowing his name,
casting bones and saying Duncan was both blessed and cursed and
mentioning that he will soon meet his teacher, Connor MacLeod. The
hermit says he knows Duncan’s destiny, that “what we are is written in
the wind long before we are born.” He says he has been waiting for
Duncan for 600 years, and that when Duncan’s time comes he “must be
prepared to face an evil beyond any you can imagine…. Every thousand
years, he comes, and he must be fought. I did my part, but now the
responsibility is yours!”
Then the hermit comes after Duncan, demanding that Duncan take his head.
When Duncan refuses, the hermit comes after him, finally grabbing
Duncan’s blade and beheading himself on it. Duncan is confused and
terrified by the Quickening that follows.
Richie insists that, whatever Duncan is up against, Richie will stick by
him and help him deal with it.
In the meantime, an ominous red mist creeps into Landry’s
granddaughter’s home, where she is weeping over photos of her
grandfather. Doors slam and lock, the videotape starts running, talking
about the coming demon. Blood pours over the screen, then Landry appears
in person, laughing evilly, and the place goes up in flames, burning her
alive.
The next day, Joe and Methos and Richie are walking along, with Methos
debunking the whole idea of there being demons in the world. They go to
visit the granddaughter, but find the place burnt down, the
granddaughter (Allison Landry) dead, and the police looking for some
mysterious man with a ponytail who had last been seen with her.
Duncan, looking tired and stressed out, enters the barge grabs a scotch,
then finds Allison Landry (who is now dead, but he doesn’t know that
yet) seductively draped on his bed, dressed in a black lace teddy. He’s
mystified at both her presence and her demeanor, but when he turns away
to answer the phone, he hears Allison on the receiver saying that she is
dead. He turns and she has disappeared. He is shaken and sits to finish
his drink and she grabs him from behind. He spins, breaking a large
Chinese vase, knocking her down. She comes on to him (“Nice pecs!”) and
he is suspicious, backing away. She accuses him of burning her
apartment, he denies it, drawing his sword but she just strokes the
blade, saying that after he takes her head he has to make love to her.
“Don’t you want to save the world, MacLeod?” she asks. “Or maybe you
just want to save yourself. Or maybe,” she rises, suddenly speaking in
Horton’s harsh voice. “I’m not real at all!” MacLeod falls back and she
disappears. Duncan is left in an empty room, with the vase still intact,
wondering if “I’m losing it!”
Methos, Joe and Richie are in a café overlooking the river, with Methos
saying that Duncan is hallucinating and has lost it, while Richie
insists that he still believes in Duncan, that what he is seeing and
hearing might very well be real. Methos scoffs, Joe obviously doesn’t
believe but Richie is adamant that fighting this demon may be the reason
Immortals exist. He leaves and Joe and Methos are left feeling like
traitors in comparison to Richie’s loyalty to MacLeod.
Back at the barge, Duncan is confused and conflicted, first throwing
Landry’s journal in the fire, then retrieving it. Joe and Methos show
up, telling Duncan that they think he is in trouble and needs help.
Duncan insists that he’s not insane, that he doesn’t know what the
figures of Kronos and Horton he saw were, but he knows he really saw
them. Methos is dubious, but Duncan is convinced there is something to
the prophesy, and if he is, indeed, crazy, then there’s nothing that Joe
and Methos can do anyway, that it’s too late.
Richie is walking towards the barge when a car pulls up alongside.
Inside, he sees Horton holding a gun on Joe, then the car peels away.
Richie runs after them. He eventually gets to a phone and calls Duncan,
breathlessly telling him that he saw Horton kidnap Joe and that they are
at the “old racetrack”. Duncan tries to tell him that what he saw is
impossible (Joe is standing right there in front of him) and to stay put
and not do anything, but Richie sprints off to “save Joe.”
Duncan hands off the phone to Joe, ordering him to keep Richie on the
phone and telling him where he is, and dashes off, but when Joe takes
the phone, Richie isn’t on the line.

Subject: Season Five dvd Commentary: Archangel, pt. 2 of 2
At the racetrack, Duncan is hunting for Richie, when Duncan sees a
red-fog shrouded Richie come down the escalator. When Richie’s eyes glow
red, too, Duncan recognizes that it isn’t really Richie. The
Demon!Richie taunts him, telling him Duncan doesn’t understand his place
in all this, and attacks him with a sword. Duncan defends himself, but
when he has an opportunity to strike, doesn’t. Demon!Richie doesn’t
hesitate, though and slices his arm. They continue to fight, but Duncan
is cut again as the demon continues his taunts, then morphs into Horton
and back to Richie again. That spurs Duncan on, and he ends up cutting
Demon!Richie, telling him everyone can die. But when Richie straightens
up, it’s Kronos that Duncan sees. They fight furiously, but then
suddenly Kronos just disappears. Duncan looks around and sees Horton on
the escalator. Horton shoots Duncan, but then we cut to the real Richie,
who has heard the shot and thinks Joe is in trouble and moves toward the
noise.
When Duncan asks who Horton is, he says he is Set, then suddenly he’s
Richie saying, “I’m Ahirman!’ Then he’s Kronos, then all three of them
are there at once and they multiply, taunting Duncan as they circle him.
A wounded, hurting Duncan can’t keep track of all of them, but at last
he rises up, striking out in every direction, but then they disappear.
He can hear them laughing, and then each of them suddenly appears one at
a time, striking out at him again and again from different directions
then disappearing.
One of them is Richie – the real Richie. With a growl, Duncan takes his
head, then watches as he falls dead at his feet. A red fog coalesces,
the Quickening begins and Duncan realizes who it was he just killed.
Joe and Methos arrive as the Quickening ends and Duncan is on his knees
by Richie’s body. Ahriman, in Richie’s body, then as Kronos, then as
Horton, steps out of the shadows, chuckling evilly and watching as the
full emotional impact hits Duncan and he goes rigid with horror, rocking
slightly. The demon disappears as Joe and Methos approach, but Duncan
picks up the katana and holds it out to Methos, his head bowed. Weeping,
in a broken voice, Duncan begs Methos to take his head, but Methos
shakes his head and turns away, murmuring, “Absolutely not.” Then we see
a montage of Richie’s life since he met MacLeod, the good and the bad,
as Joe sings a mournful tune.
Duncan pulls Richie’s glove off his hand and, barely able to breathe,
brokenly chants a Lakota death chant as he raises the glove over his
head and walks away.
Methos goes to Joe and holds him as he weeps in his arms, and the camera
pans down to the abandoned katana, where a glowing red light envelops it
for a moment.
MY COMMENTS: This episode is extremely hard to watch, especially knowing
what’s coming. It is also a difficult commentary to write since the
basic events are so controversial.
The fundamental issue that first has to be discussed is the
believability of the premise – that a demon has been bedeviling humanity
for thousands of years, and at the turn of each millennium it is up to a
chosen Immortal to defeat him and try to put him back into his cave
until the next time. The cost of failure is a thousand years of misery
for humanity.
Now that’s a pretty warped version of what Zoroastrian belief truly is,
although there are some vague similarities to some of their myths. It is
easy to say, “Ah, come on, that’s just way too off the track and
unrealistic.” But let’s face it, we *are* talking about fiction here,
after all, and in a universe that already has Immortals and Quickenings
in it. They’ve already asked you to accept a premise that we know can’t
be true. They stretched that premise incrementally with the whole notion
of Cassandra and her use of the Voice, as well as Garrick’s ability to
project dreams, and of course there are the larger “magics” that we see
in the movies but not specifically shown on the television series.
Personally, I think it is a matter of choice to believe or to reject the
premise. If you reject the premise, then the only conclusion to be drawn
is that Landry was nuts, that Richie didn’t really see Joe being
threatened by Horton and must have been there for some unknown reason,
and therefore that Duncan is hallucinating and crazy as a loon and
Richie’s death is a pointless tragedy. Under that assumption, I don’t
think you could ever trust Duncan MacLeod again, or that he would ever
trust himself again and I agree with Duncan, that Methos should take his
head and put him out of his misery.
Since this is the end of the fifth season and at the time it wasn’t
certain there would be a sixth season, it is certainly a viable way to
approach that episode, and if that’s what you chose to believe, then you
don’t need to read any further because, after all, the story is over,
isn’t it? From then on, Duncan is a useless lunatic and any pursuit of
the “demon” is further evidence of his insanity, and someone needs to
put him down like a rabid dog.
At the time the episode first showed, I found it very distressing, but
was still determined to believe that the story continued and that there
was some dramatic purpose underlying the events other than the pure
shock value of having the “hero” kill a major character. Remarkably, the
fictional alternative I wrote with V. Watts while awaiting whether or
not there would even be a season six (titled “Archangel Redeemed”) had
(unbeknownst to us at the time) many basic elements that were similar to
the ultimate resolution of the story. I mention that fact not just to be
self-serving, but because I think it is relevant to note that the themes
presented in the episode were compelling enough to spark similar
imaginative flights of fancy from two writers totally ignorant of where
the story was headed.
This was, I think, what David Abramowitz was after – not a story about a
demon, really, but a larger story about the nature of evil and how to
come to terms with it, both in ourselves and in the world. They stripped
the heroic character of all his illusions of heroism and forced him to
question everything he knew or thought he knew about himself. The
deconstruction began during the Dark Quickening and they steadily
chipped away at him throughout seasons four and five until, at the end,
there was nothing left and he couldn’t even recognize himself, much less
the people he cared about.
The devices used were both sadistic and ingenious. People he had killed
in what he believed were moments of high heroism were back and haunting
him, taunting him with the notion that the evil really hadn’t died after
all. Duncan had only Landry’s book and the clues it held, as well as
Richie’s faith, to give him an admittedly tenuous rope to cling to that
he wasn’t insane and hallucinating.
I hated watching that last scene so much that this last time was,
perhaps, the first time I had ever paid really close attention to the
events at the racetrack as they unfolded. In so doing, I realized that
the setup for Duncan to assume that Richie is just another shadow-demon
is really quite nicely done. First they circled him with multiple
Richies and Kronoses and Hortons taunting him, attacking him. Then the
group disappears, only to reappear individually again and again suddenly
out of the shadows, with a frantic Duncan striking at them in all
directions, so that when an identically dressed real Richie steps up,
Duncan swings – and takes Richie’s head before he even realizes it.
That moment is horrifying and brilliantly played. The shock and
disbelief, the rejection of the possibility and hope that it isn’t true,
then realization as it crashes down, crushing him. Of course he wanted
Methos to kill him. What a mercy that would have been at that point,
rather than to have to live with what he had done. What he does next is
a kind of retreat back to some simple, primitive, visceral, unthinking
response that, for me, fits perfectly with the character and the horror
of the moment: To take a token and begin his broken, ancient chanting
and walk away – anywhere but there – as the only possible way to get
from one minute to the next. That he had to live was his curse and his
punishment.
Extraordinarily painful to watch.
There are things, of course, that don’t work as well as they could have.
On a trivial plane, I wish that AP had just waited a few days to cut his
damned hair so they didn’t have to use a wig that just never looked
quite right. The actress who played Allison Landry just didn’t work for
me, although I loved the guy who played Jason Landry.
More seriously problematic, however, were the “loyalty moments” between
Duncan and Richie. They were sweet, but didn’t ring quite true to me,
given all the recent tension we’ve seen between them. And finally, using
the Methos-and-Joe team as a kind of Greek chorus dispassionately
standing around commenting about how MacLeod had gone ‘round the bend
also seemed out of character. It seems to me that they would have been
far less passive than they were, and that Methos would have stuck much
closer to MacLeod if he really felt the man was having sudden, serious
mental problems.
But the “evil” portrayed in the joint personas of Horton, Kronos and an
Evil!Richie were really, really well done, so taken all together, I find
this episode to be thrilling in a very dark, creepy, awful kind of way.
It sure as hell sparked a lot of controversy, and I’m not really talking
about the Richie Flag Wavers. On that issue, I agree with what both
Abramowitz and AP said: He’s dead. Get over it.

Subject: Adrian Paul, Davis-Panzer and HLWW come together for IMMORTAL AID
The following Press Release was issued by Davis-Panzer on
Friday 11th Feb.
**********************
THE CREATORS OF HIGHLANDER & ITS STAR, ADRIAN PAUL, COME
TOGETHER TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE TSUNAMI- RAVAGED THAI ISLAND
OF KOH PHI PHI
West Hollywood, CA - February 11, 2005 - HIGHLANDER TV
Series star Adrian Paul in collaboration with Davis-Anderson
Merchandising Corp (DAMC), Davis-Panzer Productions (DP) and
Highlander WorldWide (HLWW) have come together to raise
funds for the devastated Thai Island of Koh Phi Phi.
Koh Phi Phi, formerly renowned as one of the seven most
beautiful places in the world by distinguished explorer
Jacques Cousteau, and used in the feature film "The
Beach" is now flattened in the rubble of the tsunamis of
Dec. 26, 2004. Adrian Paul's brother Andrew had lived and
operated an adventure travel business on this small island,
a one and a half hour boat trip from Phuket, for over 11
years. Andrew and the people, of the island now in ruins,
need assistance to rebuild schools, homes and businesses.
After learning that Andrew and his family survived, with
nothing but the clothes on their back, Adrian Paul declared,
"I wasn't surprised to hear my brother say that he
wasn't going to leave but instead help rebuild the
island's infrastructure. It was a massive job, and I was
determined to help him any way I could."
Adrian has turned to DP/DAMC to help organize a series of
auctions to assist with raising funds for the rebuilding
effort. The first auction will include original set costumes
and props from the HIGHLANDER film and TV sets including
Duncan's leather trench coat, a rare rubber katana and
villains' costumes; personal possessions from Adrian Paul
including the La Carrera Pan America race helmet, candid set
pictures autographed from various cast, and individually
framed photos; and HIGHLANDER collectibles from the Official
HIGHLANDER Store. Every item and cash donation will include
a thank you certificate signed by a combination of
HIGHLANDER Creators and Producers Peter S. Davis & Bill
Panzer and/or Adrian Paul.
Peter S. Davis, DP/DAMC's CEO, expressed "When Adrian
shared the miraculous survival story of his brother's
family in light of such a terrible disaster, there was no
question-we would assist in any way possible. How could we
not?"
The first phase of IMMORTAL AID will commence with an
auction on HLWW (www.hlww.org) on Monday, February 14th and
continue through the Friday, February 18th. We are then
looking to partner with additional auction sites to continue
raising funds for IMMORTAL AID throughout the year.
