TRIVIA (4)
ADD TRIVIA-
The explanation to Duncan's first Quickening is wrong. It's a known fact that a man cannot behead himself. Duncan must have helped to kill the Hermit.
-
Trivia: Highlander milestone: we get to see MacLeod's first Quickening in this episode! Perhaps surprisingly, it occurs at least a few months before Duncan met Connor, meaning that the younger MacLeod has absolutely no idea what's happening to him; he doesn't even know he's Immortal yet.
-
Why does Ahriman take on the appearance of Kronos as he looked in the Bronze Age when he shows himself to Duncan? Duncan never met him until the 19th century.
-
Despite the fact the demon is supposed to arrive at the end of the millennium show up in 1997? And why is it working on the Christian millennial calendar?

ADD NOTES-
This episode was very different according to the DVDs. According to the DVDs, this was to be a cliffhanger setting up Season 6. After Duncan kills Ritchie and drops his sword, he retreats to a monastery for 20 years. Season 6 picks up after those 20 years and the Demon has now gotten control of most of the world. There is a rebellion. Joe and Methos find Duncan in the monastery and talk him into getting back into the fight. Season 6 was to be about that fight. Apparently, according to the DVDs, Adrian Paul wanted less involvement in Highlander so he could pursue his movie and other acting career. So they had to change the plans for Season 6 and add a new more truncated ending to the episode.
-
This is the third episode this season (after "Prophecy" and "The End of Innocence") to reference the character of Connor MacLeod, Duncan's mentor and star of the Highlander feature films.
-
Richie's untimely death at the hands of MacLeod has been foreshadowed in a small handful of past episodes. In "Shadows," from season 3, MacLeod nearly takes Richie's head while in the grip of a powerful hallucination; he comes to his senses just in the nick of time. Later, in "Something Wicked" from season 4, MacLeod deliberately attacks Richie while under the influence of the Dark Quickening, but Joe intervenes (again) in the nick of time. Finally, in "Prophecy" from earlier this season, Cassandra reveals that she sees death in MacLeod's future, though she isn't sure whose; this may have been a veiled reference to Richie's coming demise.
-
This is, of course, the final episode of the series to feature Stan Kirsch as a regular.
