"Highlander" meets "Ghost"

6.0

"Fair"

By MagellanTheCat, Mar 23, 2010

So, the wife of an immortal thinks she's haunted by her dead husband because she was brainwashed by his nutso religious beliefs which he made up to cope with his last wife dying. Our big catch is that instead of the GIotW having killed her husband, Richie was the one. What is life. What is death. Do Quickenings mean that the winner take on/consumes/merges with the soul of the loser? Do the spirits of the ancestors/loved ones watch over us. Blah, Blah, Blah. And, like most bad TV, this one doesn't bother to commit to any notion. It just ends.moreless

- Richie: It was live or die, Joe, I certainly had no idea he had a wife. Joe: Richie, everyone leaves someone behind. Everyone.

- Richie: Yeah, well, I got a much simpler theory - I'm an idiot. Joe: There's always that.

NOTES (4)
ADD NOTES
- Flashbacks: San Francisco, 1886 and 1888.
  EDIT SHARE
- In the beginning when Jennifer Hill leaves her house after the ghost appearance of Alec Hill and drives away to the cemetery and parks on the grass, you see a previous track there so this scene has at least been shot twice.
  EDIT SHARE
- Although it's not the original sword, Richie's rapier makes its final appearance in a flashback.
  EDIT SHARE
- During the scene where Alec is playing the piano, shortly after his wife's death, Duncan mentions the saloon Amanda just won off of Kit O'Brady. This is a reference to last season's comedic episode "Double Eagle."
