- [[Thanks to breeves@us.oracle.com (Bill Reeves) for his Highlander episode
- guide. In his text below, I've added and corrected some material by
- using brackets, [...]. Note that unbracketed text below is his! I also added the
- writer's and director's name as I like to keep track of those.]]
-
- Hello everyone out there...
-
- With all of the discussion about the Highlander TV series going on,
- I thought it was time to post this episode guide I've been working
- on.
-
- Some warnings: I haven't re-watched all of the episodes yet, so a lot
- of information is not verified. Everything down below with a question
- mark means that I'm not entirely sure about it.
- [OK! means I confirm the original text. Other places show additions
- or corrections.]
-
- The air dates given are the dates that each episode was shown on
- KOFY-20 in San Francisco. It's a reasonable assumption that other
- stations will show the episodes on different days, but they should
- be pretty close to the ones below. Your mileage may vary.
-
- I haven't included the list of flashbacks which is mentioned below.
- At least one person out there has come up with a pretty complete list
- of Duncan's flashbacks. I just haven't typed that info in yet.
- [I'd appreciate a copy of that list. I missed it.]
-
- The plot summaries are pretty lame at this point. Roderick Lee posted
- much more complete summaries on rec.arts.sf.tv recently. The summaries
- here are not intended to give many details on the episode, but rather
- to provide a frame of reference for people who haven't memorized the
- titles of all of the episodes.
-
- When I get some free time, I'll be sure to re-watch the episodes and
- update this information. Until then, feedback is appreciated...
-
- Finally, there may be SPOILERS down below, especially for those who
- have not seen the last couple of episodes. I haven't seen all of the
- 11th episode myself, so there is no plot summary yet...
