3.0 out of 5 stars Weakest of all 6 seasons, November 19, 2004

This review is from: Highlander The Series - Season 6 (DVD)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars An astonishingly bad season and an unfitting demise., February 10, 2005

This review is from: Highlander The Series - Season 6 (DVD)

For "Highlander" fans everywhere, season six was a major disappointment. It started out bad, and it didn't get much better.

Picking up where season five left off, the finale season of the series begins with "Avatar", which has got to be one of the worst episodes of the show. When you see Duncan cover his ears and go berserk at the sound of rock music, then rip the stereo out of the car, all for no apparent reason - you know you're in trouble. Luckily for us, the 5,000-year-old Zoroastrian space demon behind these horrible episodes went poof in the next episode, "Armageddon". One of the biggest problems with season six is that half the episodes are used as "backdoor pilots" for a spin-off show - that is, episodes that use MacLeod for as little as thirty seconds and which feature a female immortal as the main character. The episodes which do star MacLeod suffer from horrible writing, namely "Black Tower", which is probably the worst episode of the whole show.

Season six did have a few good moments, though. The first of these was "Justice", an Agatha Christie-ish flashback episode in which Duncan sets out to find the culprit behind the "murder" of Hugh Fitzcairn (played by Roger Daltrey). Then there's "Indiscretions", in which everyone's favorite buddies, Joe and Methos, finally get their own episode. The greatest part of the season however was the two-episode finale, "To Be" and "Not to Be", which draws obvious inspiration from Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life".

Well, maybe if Adrian Paul hadn't had his hair cut for this season, the show might have ended better. Then again, maybe he wouldn't have received his paycheck and the show wouldn't have ended at all. Which still might be better than this.

Season six is strictly for die-hard fans of the show, or those looking to complete their "Highlander" collection. It's an astonishingly bad season and an unfitting demise to a great show.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing!, February 18, 2005

This review is from: Highlander The Series - Season 6 (DVD)

Highlander, which is one of my favorite collections, was tainted with the last season. Out of the 13 episodes, Adrain Paul makes himself scarce, if in the episode at all. The only three worth the price was the series finale (last two episodes) and seeing Methos once again. Otherwise, save yourself the money and just get the series finale "To Be" and "Not To Be". The last three discs are all extras with a great many things that were already seen on the previous 5 seasons.
