I generally don’t have much to say about this show. the acting is sub-par, the special effects are laughable and the stories are just entertaining enough for me to have the show on in the background whilst i’m bouncing about online.

but now Joe from Highlander has showed up as Dr Magnus’ father and i can’t contain myself.

please, please let Methos and Duncan appear as her long lost brothers. it will propel this to the top of my favorites for at least a week or two.

acting and special effects aside, this show suffers from a lack of story arc. (that’s what i’ll call it). the premise has great potential, but recurring characters and themes aren’t enough. i want some overall story to care about - something that i’m looking forward to happening. they could have dropped clues in earlier episodes about Magnus’ father - then him appearing would have been a pay off. i would have clapped my hands in delight at something i looked forward to occurring - not clapped my hands because there can be only one, may it be Duncan McLeod, the highlander!!111!! lol!! OMG!!! he said he can play blues harmonica. maybe he’ll open up a blues bar that the immortals, i mean the abnormals, can congregate at.
