Last Saturday, my roommate and I decided to host a friendly competition: who could make the best breakfast sandwich. I whipped up a classic egg and cheese with a touch of Sriracha, while he concocted a towering behemoth loaded with every breakfast item imaginable—bacon, avocado, and even a sprinkle of maple syrup for flair. We invited friends over for the big reveal, and each sandwich was enthusiastically presented.
The moment of truth arrived when we asked our friends to vote for the best. Instead of picking a winner, they turned it into a battle royale, demolishing both sandwiches and declaring there could be only one victor—hunger! The real champion became the friend who, thinking they were being clever, blended the leftovers into a “breakfast smoothie.” Now, there’s a beautiful mess!

That you, MacLeod?

Whelp time to bust out the Queen Magic album. That song is going to be stuck in there till I knock it loose.
C

So, I’m not deep into Highlander lore, but I’ve always wondered… Why? Why kill each other? If you’ve got a bunch of immortals running around, why not ally together and rule the world or something?
S
Some do Ally together.. but like anywhere, there are power hungry immortals… the more headcounts the stronger they become. It then becomes a matter of survival. If one immortal gets too strong, everyone is at risk of getting their head chopped off. The only safe place is on holy ground. The oldest immortal “Methos” actually refused to participate in “The Game”.
M
Methos was always my favorite. The series was kinda cheesy at times but lots of fun; I’ve got so much nostalgia for 90s fantasy TV.
S
Same, it was really cool to see his story get revealed. From being an ordinary guy, to hiding himself among The Watchers, to being one of the 4 horsemen. There was a lot to his character
C
You can get up to a lot in 5000 years.
W
He never lost the capacity to fall in love, nor to mourn the women he lost.
B
You mean Adam Pierson?

Its a power hunger type thing. Its been DECADES since, so pardon me if I get it wrong… Each immortal carries within them unique power, ontop of valuable experiences, that when one kills another, the dead’s essence immediately transfers itself to the killer, bestowing the victor more combat experience, memories, and essentially more strength, which again, equates to raw power. This was semi-explained thru the show more than the movies. And the shows (minus Raven) was incredible. 5 stars. Also, Immortals senses other Immortals, EVEN WHEN if one of the Immortals hasn’t been immortalized yet. So when it comes to this power hunger, it’s dog eat dog, or… if the person isn’t a total jackwad, respects the other and keeps it pushing, which happens pretty often in the shows lol.
P
Long story short, they power up.
C
Significantly. And, I know that the “Sanctified Land” rule is pretty effing big in the Highland-verse, did they ever explain why though? That i can never remember.
S
It was Ancient Tradition and “Law”.. probably someone broke it once before.. I can’t remember, but believe there may have been a moment of divine intervention… preventing one from attacking another on holy land.. and punishing that attacker.. but my memory is foggy “In Highlander III: The Sorcerer, when Kane fights Connor on Holy Ground (a Buddhist temple), their fight is stopped by unnatural, divine intervention—a surge of energy that breaks Connor’s sword and fills the room with wind and lightning.”
P
Highlander 2 was so bad , I didn’t bother watching 3.
C
I just remembered… in the tail end of the show, there was indeed a group of Immortals, I think they called themselves the 4 Horseman of Apocalypse, which were 4 of the oldest known Immortals, including “The First”, and they had that idea like u said. But im not gonna spoil it incase u wanna see it for yourself.
O
The last one standing gains all of the knowledge and power of the previous immortals.

Nope, Michonne!

Had to scroll too far to find a mention of TF2.
O
Me to i was hoping it was gonna be the first
M
I immediately thought of demonstration man

*What kept you?*

I loved Highlander as a kid. It was really the only sword show on TV in the 90s. There was a ninja show in the late 80s that I liked but I can’t recall the name of it. I bought throwing stars via a catalog. I had to buy a money order from the post office to get them.
P
Xena had a sword
R
I saw this same one on a maroon Highlander this morning in jacksonville fl. It took forever to make out what it was from a glare but I lost it laughing once I was able to read it. So weird seeing this post now, can’t be the same car?
J
This one is definitely not maroon
G
Either that car has a twin, or this dad’s legend is spreading across states.
D
They will eventually find each other and fight to the death
M
It’s a Japanese Highlander, it should be a katana and not a scimitar!
H
That’s a … deep cut. I’ll see myself out
U
Not to quibble, but I don’t think Duncan used a scimitar?
S
Weirdly, there’s a [whole book about it](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1311673.Highlander).
C
The fuck?
P
No one said that had to be Duncan.
C
Of the McClouds, Duncan indeed had used a scimitar thru his travels. Unlike Conner, who Conner i believed traveled more towards the East towards Asia and used all sorts of asian blades and what not, Duncan traveled and pretty much landlocked himself within the MiddleEast for a significant time. I could be wrong. But i do remember Duncan being more refined into one handed weaponry
M
Basically the only stick figure family I’ll allow
S
It’s better to burn out, than to fade away!

As a member of the clan macleod and a sword owner i approve
