Highlander Season Three

Took a week's break, but back now.

The Lamb, Air Date: November 1994

What happens to a kid who hits Immortality before he hits puberty? MacLeod and Richie take in 10-year-old Kenny, who asks for their protection after the fatherly Immortal who was protecting him is beheaded. Kenny, we discover, is not the sweet little lamb he appears to be. He has been Immortal for nearly 800 years, and has survived all that time by convincing other Immortals to take him in and protect him -- and then taking their heads. Kenny tries to get MacLeod, but he is continuously thwarted by the presence of Anne. Kenny attempts to get Anne out of his way, but MacLeod, realizing the truth about Kenny, manages to rescue her. He goes after Kenny to stop him from killing again, but Kenny manages to escape by blending in with a group of innocent children. ~ recap via tv.com

Next week: Obsession

Okay, trying to think here. I loved the episode. I think it was a great idea having a child as an immortal. More than that though, we had someone who was evil in a child's body. And it took awhile for Duncan to catch on. He *wanted* to like and protect this child. It was quite a shock for him to learn that this kid could be as evil as adult immortals like Kalas. That in itself was worth the episode. Then later (in the second episode) for him to find out that Kenny had a tie to Amanda and he had to be nice to the kid....that was priceless.

The actor who played Kenny was very good. All in all, I think they did a good job.
