Trivia:

A late fifth season episode, which partly depicted a fictional inspiration for Frankenstein, used the book's subtitle of "The Modern Prometheus".

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Episode 1.20, "Avenging Angel", features a swordfight between immortals that appears to be on holy ground; however the site is actually a museum displaying religious artifacts from the crusades. The confusion arises because footage from this fight is seen in the opening credits of later episodes as the narrator speaks of holy ground.

Quotes:

Richie Ryan: You ever had it bad for an older woman?
Duncan MacLeod: Well, the situation hasn't come up recently.

My favorite Highlander episode:

was Freefall. I think this episode was great. I think I loved it so much because Joan Jett was the guest star but I think she was great and her best acting ever can be found on this episode of Highlander:The series.
