Aug. 10th, 2010 11:00 pmI went rollerblading again today. It is nice to actually exercise. I’m very much dependent on other people driving me to the beach area to go rollerblading. I wish I had the means to just go by myself.
Highlander “Take Back the Night” “Testimony”
What I really appreciate as I watch “Highlander” is the consistency in the continuity. Nothing is forgotten or ignored by the writers and the characterization is consistent. And so are Duncan’s flashbacks in his long life. It is nice to see that the writers actually keep track of these things, which is not often common in episodic television. Mac saying goodbuy to Richie and seeing Richie through his mistakes is nice to see too. You just see how much he cares for him. It is just a great father/son relationship. And I’m glad it is Richie who fought Kristov. The look on Mac’s face when the Quickening started and he thought Richie died was very effective. And the look on Mac’s face when he saw that Richie was alive was so relieved and happy. He just wanted to hug him. And I’m glad that it was Richie this time who got to fight. I’m really liking Adrian Paul in this role – he is great at showing the character’s emotions and he has great comedic timing too. Still don’t care too much for Anne, but at least it is a bit better now that she knows. She just feels like such a rebound to me – he is trying hard to be in love again, but it doesn’t quite work.
