THE WATCHERS
Duncan follows a lead back to the
Pacific Northwest as he continues to investigate Darius' death. He
meets Joe Dawson, a bookstore owner with a secret: Dawson is a
high-ranking member of an ancient secret organization known as The
Watchers, who observe and record the lives of the Immortals, passing
their archives down from generation to generation. Unknown to Dawson,
his brother-in-law James Horton - Darius' killer - has been recruiting
Watchers to kill Immortals. We are left with the knowledge that other
renegade Watchers may be waiting to try for MacLeod's head.

Trivia
| Series regular Joe Dawson makes his first
appearance in this episode. Unfortunately actor/musician Jim Byrnes
doesn't have a Web presence at the moment, but star Adrian Paul
does, so check out his official Web site by clicking
here. |
| Cameron Bancroft later returns as the Immortal
David Keogh in the third season: C8,
'Obsession'. |
| This is the first time the Watchers are
introduced to the Highlander universe. |
| Paul Edmonds, who runs a superb Highlander
Web site, has some interesting notes on Peter Hudson's convention
appearance in 1999
here. |
Verdict
A reasonable introduction to season two, but it's not helped by
Horton's character, who has no redeeming features whatsoever, which
must have been difficult for the actor to work with. Nice reference to
the Kurgan in a throwaway line, though. B-
