Episode 1x02: Family Tree
From tv.com/highlander episode guide:
First aired: 10/10/1992 Production Code: 92103
Richie Ryan, Duncan MacLeod's protégé, attempts to learn more about his parents, whom he has never known. Instead, he falls prey to a con man who, needing a place to stay and a quick score, pretends to be Richie's long-lost father. While MacLeod and Tessa try to keep Richie from being hurt, MacLeod relives his own traumatic past, where he first realized he was an Immortal, and was renounced by the man who had raised him as his son.
I didn't like this episode and why pick this to start the series. Nothing personal, it just was boring. Oh well, it has it moments like another guest star Peter Deluise as Clinch and he wasn't bad as the heavy. I didn't care for his boss Mrs. Gustavson, but she was believable as a mean boss. I liked the con man Joe Scanlon and his moments he had with Richie but you knew he was BSing the whole time. I almost felt sorry for Richie. Almost, because I was trying to feel out the actor's style and he wasn't doing it for me. The regular cast felt odd (especially Duncan, or should I say Paul with the slight overacting in the flashback scenes) but I gave it the first episode jitters and them sorting out who the characters are and hopefully it will get better. Right? Overall, I give it a 6 because the guesting actors felt more natural to me than the regulars. Onto the pictures...
