THE DVD EXTRAS

Like the first season, this DVD set clearly has one of THE best DVD extras packages you'll ever see.

COMMENTARY, NOTES and BLOOPERS

ALL EPISODES include commentary from producers Bill Panzer and David Abramowitz and "Watcher" notes. The commentaries provide great insight into each episode's production. The "Watcher" notes give more insight into "Highlander" canon with reference to events and characters. In addition, several episodes also include deleted scenes/blooper footage.

ADRIAN PAUL COMMENTARY

Disc 3's episodes also include audio and video commentary by series' star Adrian Paul. Decent stuff.

COLLECTIBLES AND CONTESTS

This DVD set includes a collector's edition Highlander medallion. You can mail away for a medallion holder that comes with Season One's medallion. Also included are entry forms for the Highlander sweepstakes contest.

DISC 8: EXTRAS

Included on Disc 8 are:

Trivia Game: Test your Highlander knowledge (or pick up some).

Director and Actor Bios: Filmographies for ALL actors and directors who appeared in/worked on Season Two.

Scripts: Finalized shooting scripts for ALL 22 episodes in season two. A Highlander completist's dream as it includes all the lines and stage directions.

Shooting Schedules: Another nifty production document that details the shooting schedule for several episodes. More great insight to the film biz.

THE VERDICT

Lovers of action-adventure and romance are bound to fall in love with this series. The "historical" flashbacks to earlier time periods in the Immortal's lives are awe-inspiring. The martial arts and swashbuckling action will fix most people's action cravings and the countless romantic "love scenes" featured in the series will reel in the ladies too. If you've never been exposed to world of Highlander before check this series out and see what Highlander fans have known for years, "In The End, There Can Be Only One" -- and this series is it!!
