Join us next time as we dive into the action packed anime, Highlander: the Search for Vengeance!
Confusing Duncan for his murderous Roma friend Gelato (yum!), the Watchers start an all-out manhunt for Mac and Joe. Our heroes try to diffuse the situation with an entertaining mix of betrayal, yelling, and self-deception, which threatens to tear the MacLeod gang apart. The Rewatchers try to figure out the sudden brotherhood between immortals in this episode, mull over the appropriate punishment for Gelato (spoiler, he melts), and clean up their Miller Lite breath with “Methos: the fresh maker....
The proverbial chickens come home to roost when the Watchers decide to punish Joe for his reckless fraternization with his subject, Duncan MacLeod, by locking him in a cartoon fun house and scheduling him for summary execution. Mac and Methos dust off their favorite reused clips of previous episodes in an effort to save Joe's life, while a mysterious rider in a Canadian Tuxedo goes on a Watcher assassination spree. The Rewatchers discuss Joe's sham trial in the poorly lit basement of Watcher HQ,...

Feel the holiday spirit with this slightly inebriated blow-by-blow on the Highlander adjacent property, Christmas Crime Story, starring Adrian Paul.

Yeah... it gets dark and confusing pretty quickly. The Rewatchers discuss Adrian P...

Amanda finds herself in the crosshairs when both Methos and a gang of human goons set their sights on her cherished fragment of the Methuselah’s Stone.

It’s Warmonger Part II: the Kassiming! After an unexpected reunion with a Pokémon master from his past (Gotta Kassim All!), Duncan finds himself in a totally self-inflicted moral conundrum when he has to make good on an ancient promise by assassinating a cartoon character/fake Libyan dictator. The Rewatchers debate the balance between honor and morality, giggle at Kassim’s icky beard, and unpack whether Kassim is a man of honor or a total a-hole.

When nothing happens in this episode, Mac is reminded of a time during World War II when nothing happened. Also, Anne is back and skulks into a collapsed subway to give birth and become the target of sexist rants by jerks on the internet. The Rewatchers delve deep into a smorgasbord of nothing, crack nothing jokes, and recount the world’s craziest speech about nothing (and Nazis!). Also, they defend Anne for one last time.
When the outlandishly dramatic Walter (Dr. Jacoby?) comes to town intent on murdering a pre-immortal piano prodigy in order to preserve her (meh) genius, Duncan must stop this fashion inept weirdo from crossing the line in his pursuit of the arts. The Rewatchers debate whether Walter is compelling or a creep (or both), try to figure out Methos’s sudden obsession with a dying waitress, and discuss their favorite new game, Duncans in Drag-ons.
Mac’s perplexing code of honor rears it’s hypocritical head when Richie climbs in bed (literally) with Duncan’s murderous immortal ex. The Rewatchers discuss Duncan’s baffling infatuation with a horrible painter, paint all over Methos’s nose, and get grossed out by the number of wet sounds.
After Mac’s university colleague acquires an ancient Indian statue, the statue’s guardian Kamir comes to Seacouver to reclaim it, present reasonable moral quandaries, and then (in classic Highlander fashion), go completely off the rails. The Rewatchers discuss the etymology of the word thug, the ethics of modern museums, and rant about neo-nazis.
When Mac foils a hit on a morally dubious grocer perpetrated by Paul Kinman, an inept immortal assassin that once killed Mac’s croquet partner in the Court of Queen Victoria, Duncan must decide whether to testify against Kinman in public or privately relieve him of his head. The Rewatchers delve into the communal aspects of justice, discuss the surprising fate of director Neill Fearnley, and rip the supposedly innocent shopkeeper a new one.
