HLS3: Song of the Executioner

Highlander Season Three

Song of the Executioner, Air Date: February 1995

In the 1600s, MacLeod sought refuge for a time in a monastery founded by Paul, another Immortal. There he encountered Kalas, an Immortal monk with a heavenly singing voice. When MacLeod discovered that Kalas was routinely taking the heads of Immortals as they left the sanctuary, MacLeod and Paul expelled Kalas from the monastery, separating him from the music that was his life. Now in the present, Paul and his choir have been lured out of their monastery for a concert tour.

When Paul disappears after a concert, MacLeod discovers that Kalas is after his revenge. Meanwhile, two mysterious deaths at the hospital seem to be linked to negligence on Anne's part. Later, when drugs are found in Joe's bar, it becomes obvious that Kalas is trying to destroy MacLeod's friends before coming for him. MacLeod confronts Kalas and finds that Kalas is a strong and skillful fighter, better than MacLeod has faced before, and is nearly the victor. To save himself, MacLeod throws himself off the concert hall roof, landing, dead, at Anne's feet on the street below. Kalas escapes and MacLeod is forced to leave his life in the U.S. and flee to France, leaving Anne believing that he is dead. ~ recap via tv.com

I so totally agree about Kalas. He was a boring and irritating character.

Ok, I don't have the episodes avaiable to watch, so I'm doing all of this from memory. I may have the sequel in mind as I write this, so forgive me if I'm wrong here.

After Anne sees Duncan die, wouldn't she have expected a funeral service to be held for him? It's pretty obvious that he's a well-respected member of the community, after all. And she's been his steady girl for at least a while. (And, while I really couldn't stand her, I did appreciate the fact that the two of them gradually developed their relationship, rather than diving right into bed and intimacy. And then....but I'm getting off track about things that irritate me! *g*)

So, Anne hops into bed with some guy out of grief, gets a call from Joe to stop by and talk, whereupon there's a special phone call from Paris for her. It's her dead lover who's not dead after all.

What about the stupid funeral????

Ummm, sorry if I sound irritated. But, really! Where's the logic?
