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.

Hee! Isn't this show fun?

(Alas, Amazon doesn't want to send me my DVDs. It's supposed to take another three weeks! *headdesk*)

Oh I miss Highlander! I haven't seen it in ages and I loved it (and Adrian) so much! A couple of weeks ago I even watched this absolutely awful movie, I can't even really remember what it was called or anything - I think there might have been aliens? - just so I could watch AP.
