Heeeere we are, born to be kings!
We're the princes of the universe... *guitar solo*
Guess what? My Highlander DVDs arrived today! All 6 seasons in one gloriously 90s package, yay. So far I have watched episode 1, The Gathering and I have a totally stupid smile on my face. That was the only one I've seen more than once because I managed to find a VHS at one point but I haven't seen it for years.
Totally random thoughts
- What on earth is Adrian Paul doing with his voice in the intro to the credit sequence at the start? He does not sound like that usually!
- I had completely forgotten they used to signal flashbacks by zooming into Duncan's eyeball. That is really quite bizarre.
- Tessa! Yay, Tessa! ♥ So very much not a damsel in distress. Oh, I loved their relationship. It seemed so real in comparison to most shows.
- Naaaaw, crying!Duncan. He's so adorable.
- I had also forgotten how ridiculously goodlooking Adrian Paul is. Even with that haircut.
- Yay, Connor. I do love Christopher Lambert's laugh, and his smile when they are bantering. Shame he makes such dreadful films these days.
I rather enjoyed the extras too. Watcher chronicles for all the characters mentioned (with spoilers for later episodes, whoops) and a bit from Mr Panzer looking back at the first episode from 6 years on.

It's hard to believe what developed out of these beginnings, isn't it?
