Though the behind-the-scenes reporting is in-depth and *extremely* informative in respect to special effects, costuming, sword- and fight-choreography, the discussions with the actors and the powers that be (particularly the latter) seem to focus on the last season, and the defense of an episode arc which a number of fans considered to be a violation of the spirit of the show.

Also, key actors from the earlier seasons *were* missing, most notably Alexandra Vandernoot (Tessa Noel) and Philip Akin (Charlie DeSalvo), both of whom played important roles. I would hope to see in the future a *more* complete guide than this one.

A book very worth owning for any true Highlander fan. By reading the several good interviews with cast and crew, you can enter into the Highlander world, discovering all the details about its production -- and in the process, also learn how a TV series is put together. It also brings to you dozens of stills and a complete episode guide, which is very useful for those fans who, for instance, keep forgetting what flashback belong to what episode or what is the name of the actor who played that wonderful Immie.

Maureen's Watcher Guide is a must have for any Highlander-The Series fan. The entire 119 episodes synopsis is perfect for remebering just what happened in which episode. The behind-the-scenes interviews provide fascinating insight.

This is the most comprehensive collection of All Things Highlander I've ever found. It's filled with loads of inside information, behind-the-scenes pictures, and fascinating interviews with the people that brought this wonderful show to us and gave it life. It's great to look into the minds of the staff and actors and see what influence thay had on aspects of the show. Great read!

I have had a chance to read this book. I have enjoyed it tremendously. It is a good insight on the world of Highlander. The pictures are great. The chronology of the episodes let you follow the story as you watch the shows. The characters are well explain. The interviews with the actors of the show are well done and presented, they let you know the person behind the character. All in all I have enjoyed a lot the book and would recommend it to somebody else.

Enjoy!

Excellent resource for any Highlander fan. Includes thoughts from the cast and production crew as they work on the series ending episodes. If you're a fan, you can't pass on this book.

A must read for all Highlander fans!

Yes, I'm a big fan of the television series `Highlander' that graced the screen for a all too short six seasons. And as any real respectable fan should be able to say I own all six seasons on DVD.

Now the question to be asked is "What is a `Highlander' fan to do when he's not in front of the television set?" The answer is reading `Highlander': The Complete Watchers Guide' by Maureen Russell, that's what!

Whether you're looking for a short synopsis of each episode, cast interviews, technical details or any other information on the show you ever wondered about this is the book you need to own.

The in-depth research provides a unique view of the show itself. The views of the people involved in the show allow the audience to understand and relate to the creative process of Higlander. This book is a must for any die-hard Highlander fan and will provide a new appreciation of the show.

This book gives incredible insights as to how the series is filmed - but it would be worthwhile to read the episode summaries first to know what the behind-the-scenes people are referring to!
