Highlander The Series - Season 6

Rating:
Summary: Weakest of all 6 seasons
Review: Although this season provides a nice ending to the series in the form of the two-part final episode - which is really a sort of It's a Wonderfull life-like reflection of the entire series, by and large this season was used as a "proving ground" for the female lead character they were looking for to headline the series "The Raven".

So a good number of the episodes in this half-season were taken up focusing on various other immortals. Not that that was such a bad thing as by-and-large I think they were decent episodes, but Duncan really isn't in them much, if at all. In fact, in the extras on the DVDs that's one of the things mentioned frequently - that Adrian Paul wasn't as available this season as he had been before - that he wanted to bring the series to a close for whatever reason, etc.

All that being said, this is still a somewhat important season in the series as Duncan comes to terms with his actions in previous seasons - the killing by his own hands - and the character goes through an important transition. For that reason alone, you might want to consider this season. Even still, when standing this season up against seasons 2,3 and 4, this one pales in comparison.

Summary: Highlander's Great Ending
Review: The Highlander TV Show debuted well over a decade ago, and since then it has been embraced by fans across the world. The audience views the wicked world of Immortals through the eyes of Duncan MacLeod, who is played by Adrian Paul. Many of us have read stories about Mortal and Immortal in schools, but never really contemplated on the issue of life vs. death and staying vs. continuing. These are the themes depicted in Highlander and they are what caught my attention when I first started watching the show.

Season 6 once again built upon these themes and used the concepts to develop the characters even further. As the Highlander TV Series ended with Season 6, the storyline was tied with much passion, sadness, action, and emotion. This Season started with MacLeod finally defeated Ahriman, a demonic presence that confused MacLeod to the point of accidentally killing Richie Ryan at the end of Season 5. Like its regulars, MacLeod fought off others with his swords for his life. Although these fights lacked the strength of choreograph as in previous Seasons, they were still very entertaining.

The first two episodes, "Avatar" and "Armageddon" were integral to the plot as they pretty much presented the "ending" to Highlander. In "Armageddon," MacLeod's rivalry was intensified. Moreover, with the help of Father Beaufort and Joe Dawson, MacLeod begins to find a crack in Evil's armor. However, they soon learn that anyone who helps the Champion becomes fair game for the demon. This was one of my favorite episodes from the final Season because the characters had to struggle with guilt as they came to face their own demons. The highlighted scene belonged to MacLeod's wrestles with Ahriman in the final battle. For the remaining episodes, the writers presented glimpses of how MacLeod's friends and lovers would have been without him.

Although Season 6 offered fewer episodes, the bonus video interviews with various behind-the-scenes were such special treats. In addition, several episodes have audio and video commentaries that allow the viewers to get a better understand of the show's plot and production. If you are a true fan of the show, then you will really enjoy the Finale Backstage Documentary and Immortal Memories Featurettes.

Review: They moved this item from november to next year, That disappoint me very much, especially since they already sold some of the season 6 package (all the seasons) over 6 months ago. Ah well, I'll have to wait to see the only season I don't have and never saw :(

Summary: HIGHLANDER SURE WENT OUT WITHOUT A BANG
Review: THIS IS THE LAST AND FINAL SEASON OF HIGLANDER THE SERIES. AT THE START IN CONCLUDES MACLEODS BATTLE WITH THE ZOROASTRIAN DEMON AHRIMAN. BUT THEN IT TOOK A WHOPPING FALL AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH ADRIAN PAUL SHOULD HAVE HAD HIS NAME ON THE GUEST STAR LIST. IN FACT HE DOESN'T EVEN APPEAR IN 2 EPISODES. IT WAS CLEARLY EVIDENT WHAT THE DUMB PRODUCERS OF HIGHLANDER WERE TRYING TO DO. WITH THE SUCCESSFUL MARKETING ON THE FEMALE ACTION HEROINE-"XENA THE WARRIOR PRINCESS" THE PRODUCERS AUDITIONED 5 MEDIOCRE FEMALE IMMORTALS THAT COULD REPLACE ADRIAN PAUL SINCE THIS WAS CLEARLY THE FINAL SEASON OF HIGHLADER. ALL OF THEM HOWEVER, FAILED MISERABLY(THE WORST BEING CLAUDIA CHRISTIAN OF "BAYLON 5" STARDOM & SANDRA HESS) AND STAINED THE HIGHLADER FRANCHISE THAT I DONT THINK IT WILL EVER BE ABLE TO RECOVER. THE PRODUCERS ARE TRULY TO BLAME FOR THIS OUTRAEOUS SEASON THAT WE RECEIVED. ALL OF THE NEW FEMALE LEADS HAD NO KIND OF SWORDSMANSHIP EXPERTISE, CAME NO WHERE CLOSE TO ADRIAN PLAUL'S MARTIAL ARTS ABILITY AND SWORDSMANSHIP AND ACTED ATROCIAOUSLY. ON THE PLUS SIDE WE DO GET A FEW GOOD EPISODES WHERE MACLEOD TAKES UP HIS KATANA AND BATTLES THE FORCES OF DARKNESS
EPISODS:
AVATAR
ARMAGEDDON
SINS OF THE FATHER
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY
BLACK TOWER
INDISCRETIONS
TO BE
NOT TO BE

ARE SOME OF THE GOOD EPISODES YOU GET. AGAIN, THIS SEASON CONSISTED OF ONLY 13 EPISODES. IF YOU WANT TO BUY IT JUST TO COMPLETE YOUR HIGHLANDER COLLECTION THEN I RECOMMEND IT. BUT THATS ALL IT CLEARLY STANDS OUT AS. A BRAVE ATTEMPT BY THE PRODUCERS TO CREATE A SPINOFF TV. SERIES THAT FAILS MISERABLY.
