That was a powerful episode and one of the reasons I like that show so much. They could have done the nice safe thing to do and set Mikey up on holy ground but instead went the sad holy **** route.

Totally agree My Friend. I got chill bumps from that episode. I also like the one that was a bit before it with the Viking that killed Duncan's dad, and Duncan went back home to his roots. I was hoping for a couple episodes of that.

They're rebooting the movie series.

Henry Cavill is playing McLeod (not sure I'm sold on that. We know he can do spectacular swordplay. But the guy is a chiseled Greek god. It would be hard to convince us he's an underdog). Not sure if he'll be named Connor, Duncan, or someone new.

Russell Crow will be playing the mentor role. Unclear if that means he'll be Ramirez.

There was a rumor Dave Batista was playing the Kurgan. Not sure if that has been confirmed. And again, I'm not sure if like the casting. He's lost a considerable amount of weight lately and I'm pretty sure Cavill is also taller than he is. I like him as an actor. I'm just not sure he's right in this instance.

And it's supposed to be the first movie in a trilogy or series of movies. (Probably trilogy. Cavill is reaching the age where he'll start showing it)

Wow, have heard nothing about this. Big Cavill fan, loved him in Man from U.N.C.L.E and thought he was a great Superman but yeah, not sure in this roll. Like all the actors they casted but agree with you whether they are right for their parts. Except for Crowe, can see him in that roll.

Homeland is a great episode. And it set the bar for the show's quality increasing.

And because most people ask after that episode:

The song is "Bonny Portmore" by Loreena McKennitt.

Also a fun discovery watching years later, MacLeod's love interest in the flash backs of that episode was Andrea from The Walking Dead.

I couldn't figure out who it was, but I knew , I knew her. I saw Double Eagle this morning. LoL That was a fun, and funny episode, and nobody lost their heads.

Just finished 1st season of Duster on Max. Like the retro early 70's setting and of course his hot Red Plymouth Duster. Series was pretty decent but unfortunately won't see a 2nd season. It features Josh Holloway and created by JJ Abrams, both from Lost series (still looks about the same but with long hair).
