Episode 1x03: The Road Not Taken
From tv.com:
First aired: 10/17/1992 Production Code: 92108
Richie's friend dies of an overdose of a herbal drug and MacLeod suspects the source of the drug is another Immortal, Kiem Sun. Sun has has long sought to perfect such a drug and remove its lethal side effects for the betterment of mankind. But a disciple of Kiem Sun's is using the drug for his own gain, and MacLeod and Sun must track him down. When it becomes clear that Kiem Sun plans to continue his experiments despite the dangers, MacLeod destroys the remaining sample of the drug.
I think this is a better episode than previous "Family Tree". I don't know to explain yet as I tend to develop my ideas long after I watch or time has passed on an episode. I will say the fighting and swordfighting was what I expected from the show. I'll probably say more about Duncan's morals/ideas are played in this episode but not today. Though the one I am still wondering about is Richie, and if he won't stop trying to be the criminal he obviously fails at miserably. I do see the potential problem for poor Tessa or should I say the actress who plays her as I do remember her dying but I didn't understand the first time I saw this show but in these three
episodes, I'm starting to see the pattern. The two guest stars was interesting but felt to me as a backdrop to just getting to the point. I know drug references should apply in here too but as I said, later.
Onto the pictures...
