Duncan MacLeod is Immortal, and must live in modern society, concealing his true nature while fighting other Immortals.
Taken from the film, Highlander, Duncan MacLeod, clansman of Connor in the film also finds he is being stalked by not only other immortals trying to kill him before the time of the gathering, but also a secret society of mortals who call themselves 'The Watchers' and also seem intent on killing him but "The Watchers" observe and record and never interfere. Duncan and the other immortals can only be killed by decapitation and often live for centuries.
whilst only last night I watched Highlander (the film) last night (haven&#39;t seen the other 2 ….) and I still think that the TV series by far surpasses the films.<br/><br/>In comparison, the series seems far more polished and together than the films …..yeah - whilst the films have a bigger budget and more special effects ..the series seems more tangible.
The quality of the Highlander DVD box sets is a delight through all six releases. Season Five is no exception and contains the same unique special features and great video transfer as the rest. My one major turn off that, unfortunately, seems to be an industry standard is the folding package that takes up the whole coffee table. It doesn&#39;t detract from my enjoyment of the series or the special features which were enough in the first two seasons two make me buy the rest, at a premium for my impatience, from the official site (www.highlander-official.com). <br/><br/>As in the previous season, Highlander season 5 begins with a tale of Duncan&#39;s childhood. Through present day events and flashbacks, &#39; Prophecy&#39; shows us a whole new breed of older immortal with powers that certainly would have helped the character of Methos (Peter Wingfield) in earlier seasons, mind control over humans and younger immortals through a powerful form of hypnotic suggestion. We are introduced to the character of Casandra, the first immortal that Duncan (Adrian Paul) ever came into contact with as a child and a fabled witch in his native village. &#39;Prophecy&#39; as befits its title foreshadows the entire season we later find, even to the point of making minor mention of Connor MacLeod, Duncan&#39;s distant cousin and the hero of the original Highlander movie. While some may not see the referencing of the original movie for the first time since the pilot for the series as foreshadowing, to me it stands as a statement from the producers that all bets are off. <br/><br/>It is easy to forget that there is now a &#39;chosen one&#39; prophecy hanging over Duncan&#39;s head as you get into the season. After his failed attempt to kill Richie Ryan (Stan Kirsch) during his &#39;Dark Quickening&#39; (the &#39;good guy gone evil through no fault of his own&#39; scenario of the previous season), Duncan must make amends with his former pupil or push him away. Relations are still strained with Joe Dawson, his former Watcher now friend and Methos shows up in enough episodes this season that the producers must have been thinking spin-off. <br/><br/>The penultimate season of Highlander has the usual mix of comedic episodes interspersed with the serious. Highlights of the lighter episodes include the return of Roger Daltrey as Hugh Fitzcairn in an entirely &#39;historical&#39; episode entitled &#39;The Stone of Scone&#39; and a &#39;Bonnie and Clyde&#39; style romp with the spin-off character Amanda (Elisabeth Gracen) and her former partner Cory Raines (Nicolas Lea) making Duncan&#39;s life miserable both in present day and the past in &#39;Money No Object.&#39; The Funniest moments from the season come from an episode entitled &#39;Dramatic License&#39; in which a female author has published a romance novel about Duncan and an exaggerated account of some of his many exploits. <br/><br/>Foreshadowing plays a huge role in this season and the Prophecy that was told in the opening episode starts to come into play in the darker episodes of the season. In &#39;Comes a Horseman&#39; and &#39;Revelation 6:8&#39; we find that Methos has been hiding an a secret of his ancient and evil past that could end up destroying the world. &#39;Double Jeopardy&#39; uses the Highlander master craft of the flashback to reintroduce us to one of the series original and deadliest villains, who may not be dead after all, Xavier St. Cloud (Roland Gift). Finally, &#39;Archangel&#39;, the finale, introduces the deadliest threat to immortals yet which may very well Satan himself

When the producers of the first film made it, they didn&#39;t anticipate that it would be the hit that it was and spawn multiple sequels and television shows. There really hasn&#39;t been an official explanation for this, however when asked about it, the producers for the main television series have suggested that Connor didn&#39;t actually win the prize in the first movie, it was just a very powerful quickening. Fan theories explore the concept that Connor&#39;s was only one &#39;Prize&#39; rather than the ultimate one. Immortals grow and age normally until they die for the first time and after that they never age, we see Immortals who are still children despite being hundreds of years old but we also see them as old men because they didn&#39;t die for the first time until they were that age. They can sustain massive wounds which heal almost immediately and if their injuries are enough to be fatal to an ordinary human they die but come back to life again a short time later. They cannot regenerate severed limbs etc as shown in S02E14 &#39;Unholy Alliance I&#39; and we know that when Ramirez cuts the Kurgan&#39;s vocal chords in the original film neither they nor the scar across his neck heal. They can sense one another&#39;s presence and also are able to detect when a mortal human is destined to become an Immortal. They can be killed only by decaptiation whereupon a nearby Immortal can absorb their knowledge and power through &#39;The Quickening&#39;. They can also breathe underwater although they do need to eat and drink. Immortals can never have children even when they marry one another, although we see many adopt orphans and raise them to adulthood before faking their own deaths and creating a new identity. Immortals are forbidden to fight on holy ground of any religion. This was originally construed as just a tradition but in Highlander 3 we see the appearance of a spirit like apparition (similar to the one glimpsed in Highlander when Connor wins &#39;The Prize&#39;) which actually forbids it when 2 Immortals try. Combat between Immortals is always supposed to be one on one and using swords although we see some cheat during the course of the series. When a group of Immortals has amassed enough kills and the &#39;Quickenings&#39; which accompany them they feel an irrestible urge to come together in what is known as &#39;The Gathering&#39; to fight to the death. The winner receives &#39;The Prize&#39;, a new set of mental abilities coupled with the ability to grow old and have children should they wish to. Should only one Immortal remain out of them all they will be all-powerful. At first the answer is decisively no, Duncan is actually dismissive of the idea to Richie. However in later seasons we see Immortals cast illusions, read minds, exhibit mind control, prophesise the future, have psychic visions and out of body experiences and undergo spiritual cleansing using magical pools. We also establish the existence of demons and possibly of werewolves/shapeshifters. We know from the original Highlander film that when Connor wins &#39;The Prize&#39; he gains the power to read and influence people&#39;s minds all over the world so it may be that other Immortals who exhibit special abilities have also won a &#39;Prize&#39; at some stage. Highlander 2 postulates the theory that Immortals are actually aliens, exiles from the planet &#39;Zeist&#39; who are youthed into babies and placed at different periods of Earth history. The directors cut of the film establishes that Zeist civilisation instead existed on Earth in the ancient past, suggesting that Immortals are indeed human but with added abilities. Notably Highlander; The Series and Highlander; Endgame establish that all Immortals are foundlings (abandoned babies adopted by strangers).
