PROPHECY
Cassandra is an Immortal with a mission to fulfill. Her one-time student, who has
learned the power of suggestion from her, is coming to fulfill a 400
year-old prophecy, His target? A Highland foundling, born on the
Winter Solstice in 1592. You might know him better as Duncan MacLeod.

Trivia
| Tracy Scoggins has also been seen in The
Colbys, Lois & Clark and Babylon 5, among other
series. She returns to the Highlander universe in
E11, 'Comes a Horseman', and E12,
'Revelations 6:8'. Check out her official Web site
here. |
| Matthew Walker and Ann Hagan reprise their roles
as Duncan's father and mother - they both appeared in
D1, 'Homeland' (and Matthew Walker
first played Ian MacLeod in A2,
'Family Tree'). |
| Gerard Plunkett also made his first Highlander
appearance in D1, 'Homeland', but
then he played
an art-loving friend of Duncan's. |
Verdict
The fifth season begins proper with another tale from Duncan's youth.
Tracy Scoggins is in fine form as the 'witch' Cassandra and the ending
is cleverly resolved. Just a pity Cassandra and Mac's libidos got in
the way at the end.
