DUENDE
Spanish swordplay, like Spanish dancing, is equal parts passion,
skill, and strict discipline. The Immortal Otavio Consone is a master
of both. An arrogant Spaniard who 150 years ago tried to teach MacLeod
the sword art called "The Mysterious Circle," Consone vied with
MacLeod for the hand of a beautiful senorita, with tragic results. Now
MacLeod must protect a Flamenco artist and her daughter from Consone's
revenge.

Flashbacks

Trivia
| Adrian Paul gets to show off his flamenco dancing
skills in this episode. |
| The versatile Anthony DeLongis has many acting
and choreographing credits to his name. He's also the first actor to
have played two different Immortals in the show, having previously
appeared as Lymion Surlow in C10,
'Blackmail'. Valentine Pelka has since emulated DeLongis, playing
Kronos in Highlander, and Andre Korda (yet another 'K') in
Highlander: The Raven. |
Verdict
The show is definitely coasting to the end of its fifth season.
Consone has no redeeming features whatsoever, and it marks an
unwelcome return to the mustachioed-twirling villain of early
Highlander. C+
