Highlander Season Four

Through A Glass, Darkly, Air Date: May 1996

MacLeod's old friend Warren Cochrane is hiding a horrible secret he can't bear to remember. Realizing that an Immortal who won't remember what he is is soon a dead Immortal, MacLeod tries to help Warren by reminding him of the history they shared together, of their battles for Scotland's freedom, and of their mission to return Bonnie Prince Charlie to the throne. But MacLeod might have helped his friend more by letting the past stay buried. ~ recap via TV.com

Next week: Till Death

This episode was the first Highlander episode I ever saw...I think in some ways it was a good one to start with because it was slightly non-traditional(the Roshomon references aside) storytelling that it got me into the episode without knowing much of anything about the show (I was just flipping past channels--had no idea who Methos was, Alexa, Duncan etc...). So it gets some automatic props from me for being the episode that got me into the show...

I also enjoy the episodes that deal with the psychological trauma that Immortals can undergo and how (or how not) to deal with that (similiar to the Dark Quickening etc..)

I had a similar experience with Forever Knight. Came into it mid episode, mid S2 while channel surfing at 2am.
