This is one of the strongest episodes of the first season, and heralds the best of future episodes, laying the groundwork for such key characters as Methos and Kronos. A lot of the strength of the episode lies in the multi-layered portrayal of the villain--Grayson just demanded the viewer's attention. He was so strong that there was a true feeling of jeopardy for the hero. The watcher becomes really invested in the outcome.

The setting for the final duel on the sulfur docks was brilliant. Grayson and MacLeod were so well matched, it was almost a pity that Grayson lost his head *g*.
