Highlander Season Five

The Valkyrie
Air Date: Feb. 1997

In 1944, Ingrid Henning had the chance to kill Adolf Hitler and failed. She's been atoning for that failure ever since by killing dictators, tyrants, racists, and fascists who might have the potential to become as dangerous. MacLeod has a chance to stop her before she kills more mortals, but by stopping her, does MacLeod commit the same evil for which he's judged her guilty?

I was waiting for someone else to comment *g*.

I adored the Inspector. He was one of the best one-shot characters on the show.

I have to disagree about Duncan though. If anything, he worried and brooded too much about trying to be fair and do the right thing. He was trying so hard not to go after Ingrid even though every thing he knew said he couldn't let it go. It wasn't until she started killing innocent people that he went after her. Even then he gave her a chance to not fight.

It was Methos who I thought acted oddly in this episode. And he actually irritated me just a bit. First he's egging Duncan on to kill her and purposely pushing all his buttons. Why? It made me wonder if Methos knew her personally. ALthough he tells Duncan outside the police station that he got his information from the Watcher records.

I do like that he pretended to be Duncan's lawyer though. And notice that he didn't even change out of his jeans and sweatshirt. Also love that little swagger he gives as he's following Duncan after getting him out of jail.

I actually liked Ingrid. I thought she was a great character even though she did get a bit lost in her goals.

What did I like the most in the episode though?

Those tight jeans!!

I think Methos just egged on Duncan to do what he knew he'd do eventually. Besides, who knew if she wouldn't one day decide after him for - for all we know he might well once have been a small-time dictator. :-P

And yes, the inspector was one of the most well-written and most well-acted roles in the series.

Is there something wrong with being the first to comment? :P

Nope :) It's because Pat is almost always the first to comment [g] I think she was trying to give someone else a shot at first place this time [g]
