Trivia
| Although it had always been intended for Darius
to leave the series at this juncture, actor Werner Stocker proved
too ill to reprise his role one last time, and tragically died soon
after filming finished. |
| Roger Daltrey is best known as the lead singer of
The Who, and reprises the role of Fitz throughout the Highlander
series (C15,
D20,
E16, F7,
F12-13).
Other genre appearances include Sliders and Lois and
Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Click

| This is the first time the Watchers are
introduced to the Highlander universe. |
Verdict
A strong end to season one, although Darius' death on Holy Ground asks
some awkward questions about the whole Holy Ground rule. B+
