COMES A HORSEMAN
MacLeod knew him as Melvin Koren, a desperado who left a trail of
death and fire across the Old West, but Cassandra remembers him as an
evil far older. He is Kronos, leader of the Four Horsemen, mounted
Bronze Age raiders who murdered, raped, and pillaged their way across
two continents. Never was a band of Immortals more cruel or more
feared. He destroyed Cassandra's people and she's been hunting him
across the millennia. But Kronos has a different target now: Methos.

Verdict
In theory this should be the crowning point of season five. In
practice it's good, but lacks a certain special something. Still,
things are set up nicely for the second part, as Duncan leaves
Seacouver for the last time in the series.
