Highlander: The Series (1992-1998)
"Highlander: The Series" sparked the initial debate among "Highlander" fans as to whether they preferred Connor MacLeod or his clansman and apprentice Duncan MacLeod (played by Adrian Paul), which feels vaguely similar to the classic "Star Trek" debate over Captains Kirk or Picard. Regardless, Christopher Lambert appeared in the pilot episode, "The Gathering," to pull his friend Duncan back into the Game to defend the world, passing the torch (or sword) to his fellow clansman. Duncan accepted his mentor's call and returned to the Game to claim the Prize for good instead of evil, a battle he goes on to fight for years. "Highlander: The Series" is no doubt the favorite "Highlander" sequel of many, who quickly fell in love with the younger MacLeod.
Unlike Connor, Duncan MacLeod wasn't exactly a loner, and worked for six seasons alongside allies like Richie Ryan (Stan Kirsch), Joe Dawson (Jim Byrnes), Methos (Peter Wingfield), Amanda Darieux (Elizabeth Gracen), and Tessa Noël (Alexandra Vandernoot), to name a few. "The Series" was also set in the fictional city of Seacouver, Washington (a combination of Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, two of the series' key shooting locations), which gave Duncan and his crew a distinct base of operations before the series trotted around the globe. For many "Highlander" fans, Duncan MacLeod — not Connor — is the first Highlander to come to mind, proving that even if there are two of them, there can really only be one.
