[ithildin]

Now that the holidays are over, and I'm back from vacation, I'm starting up the episode discussions once more. This is the last episode for S4, so I'll be putting up the S5 poll soonish like here!

Thanks to everyone who has participated in these discussions. They're much fun!

Highlander Season Four

Judgement Day, Air Date: May 1996

Dawson's life is on the line when the Watchers try him on the charge of treason for his friendship with MacLeod. Watcher deaths have risen dramatically since Dawson first told MacLeod about the Watchers and the Tribunal is determined to punish Joe and stop the killing. MacLeod and Dawson argue his case, but even as the trial goes on, the Watcher killings continue.

Hmmm, what to say about this show? Do you know this was the last first run show I saw when we moved to Mississippi and our new satellite carrier did not have the channel Highlander was showing on? I didn't know if Joe lived or died for almost 5 years.

I liked the way they kept bringing in Horton and the Hunters. Shows it wasn't just a one-time thing they used, but that they were truly a deadly part of the Watchers and they had been around for a long time. I liked Jacob and Irena and the general story-line. How sad, yet understandable, that Jacob reacted the way he did.

Of course, at first we don't know who is killing the Watchers. But interesting that they have been keeping an eye on Joe and Duncan's relationship. You would think they would have questioned Adam Pierson's relationship with Duncan MacLeod a bit more though. Of course, Duncan wasn't going to let Joe die for this. And equally predictable, Joe wasn't going to let Duncan martyr himself. He took full responsibility and was willing to pay the price.
