I just had to break into my own house. Nothing damaged, but it was still quite interesting.

oh, Highlander....
Jun. 12th, 2005 11:37 pmWHY??? WHY would they do something so... WHY???!!!
What the fuck kind of tag-line IS that? What the hell are they thinking? Why the hell can't they just leave well enough alone?
First, they choose my second-least favorite style of animation. Then they fill the world with mechas, which I also don't like. Then they apparently decide that Duncan wasn't good enough for the damned katana ("For the first time, the MacLeod katana blade will find itself in the hands of a Japanese master"... and since when is it the "MacLeod" katana, anyway? Silly me, I thought the "MacLeod" sword was the one from Scotland...)!
Who did they get for their copy-editor, Babelfish? "Have we wet your appetite?"
After "a few thousand years" I would expect this bastard to be... hmm, METHOS. Or possibly Cassandra. But that's an entirely different nightmare.
And, last but not least... how many MacLeods are there, anyway? And why the hell are they ALL IMMORTAL?! I'm waiting for the day someone decides Rachel was immortal, too... and then maybe Duncan's cousin, the one he killed, for good measure. Just wait - I bet you it turns up in "The Source" as the big climactic shocker.
The more I think about this, the more I realize that it's too funny to bother being annoyed by it.
Oh yeah. And when they say "two successful television series," do you suppose they mean the second to be The One Season Wonder, or what I'm told was The Animated Horror? Ah, the burning questions this ad conjures....
