LITTLE TIN GOD
Derek's faith in God helped save him from a violent life on the urban
streets. When the young gospel singer is killed in a drive-by
shooting, he awakens in the arms of God and is given the gift of
eternal life. But what's he to do when that God recruits him as a
warrior in the Holy War against Satan - and Satan turns out to be
Duncan MacLeod?

Trivia
 | Andrew Divoff previously appeared as the mortal
Bryan Slade in A6, 'Bad Day in
Building A'. |
 | According to notes made by the Watchers, Larca
hails from 15th Century Portugal, was a lawyer, then a pirate by
1510 and finally disappeared in Peru in 1526. |
 | Joe also reveals many other interesting things
about the Watchers, including the fact that Duncan was 'watched' by
a man named Rodney Fergus, who fought alongside him at Waterloo and
later sailed to the New World with him. |
 | Carl Robinson (from
B9, 'Run for Your Life' and E3, 'Manhunt')
becomes Derek's teacher at the end of the episode. |
Verdict
One of my all-time favourite episodes, this is the perfect tale of
what happens when an Immortal abuses his power. Joe's insights into
the Watchers are also fascinating. A
