B5: An Eye for an Eye

AN EYE FOR AN EYE
When MacLeod and Richie are witness to a terrorist attack on an Ambassador, Richie dives in like a superhero, cocky with Immortality. In the resulting confusion, one of the terrorists is killed, and another, Annie Devlin, an Immortal, is captured. She swears revenge on Richie, and when she escapes from custody, Mac takes on the task of educating Richie so that he will have a chance in combat against her.

Trivia

Sheena Easton is the last rock star to appear in Highlander (ignoring Roger Daltrey and Roland Gift's return appearances). Visit her official Web site here.

Callum Keith Rennie has gone to bigger and better things, and will shortly be appearing in the third Blade movie. He returned to the Highlander universe as Tyler King in D3, 'The Innocent' and played opposite Paul Gross in Due South. Check out his full list of acting credits here.

Verdict
Sorry. Despite the interesting stuff about Richie's emergence as an Immortal, the whole Irish question and Annie's relationship with Mac just don't cut the mustard. C+
