Were you a fan of The Highlander? Which did you like better, the movie or TV Show?

A recent question about living forever reminded me about these great immortal characters.

I much preferred the TV series (with Adrian Paul) because they had the time to flesh out all the nitty gritty details of everyday life for an immortal.

And with a great atmosphere of various European locales (provided mostly by filming in Canada and the French part of Montreal) as well as a fabulous soundtrack by Queen, it was easy to get immersed in it.

The only part that eventually got a bit tedious and hokey for me was the ending sequence where he chops off another head accompanied by horrific thunder and lightning bla bla bla. How many different ways can you drag this out each week :)

I actually didn’t discover this show until it was in reruns so I got to watch a new episode almost every day. That was fun. The whole thing was also a great tour through various historical periods.

So, what about you?
