gategrrlDon't worry, it's short. I only saw the show as I passed by my supine Guy on the couch, and listened to his baffled comments on the movie flickering on the small screen (not so small screen) before him. He asked me what I knew of the production - I told him the little I knew, garnered from my flisters: it was written by the series writers. It was originally slated to be a theater released, downgraded to a direct to DVD release, and finally ended up bought by SciFi Channel.
There were many perplexed observations out of my Guy's mouth every time he saw me. He'd pause the DVR, blink in amazment, and start on rhetorical questions. Why were the characters misbehaving? Why didn't they get a better editor? What the hell was going on with the *script*?
Alas, there were no answers to those questions. He watched straight through to the ending (with judicious fast forwarding to the "good" bits) and shook his head, his expression horrified and bewildered, speechless for a few minutes. There was not much more to say about it.
It IS sad. We used to be, if not huge fans of the show, at least highly enthusiastic of its premise and its myriad story possiblities.
I'm glad I missed this Highlander movie. I had the BEST Highlander Movie Moment when I went to see Phantom of the Opera in the theater with a friend a few years ago. She leaned over to me when the Phantom and the Hero started swordfighting in the graveyard and whispered: "There can be only One!" I still fall over laughing when I remember.
