So I recently got back into the Highlander TV series and I've been thinking about ways that the series could be edited to be better. As for the first episode, here's my ideas:
Use a text prelude where it's established that there are different generations of Highlanders. Connor was the last of his generation and did win the prize, and that Duncan is part of the next generation. Apart from not invalidating the first movie to the point of making me mad, it also means that Connor is now mortal. The only tricky part in editing is that it's going to be hard to believe that he surives being shot in the chest. If it could be re-edited so that he gets shot in the shoulder instead, it becomes much more beleiveable.
It's also pretty obvious that multiple scenes in the pilot have been awkrawdly rearranged, so that's something that should be fixed.
Make Tessa look less obviously not knowing about immortals and stuff. Her and Duncan have been togther for a few years, she should know more.
Maybe add the flashback from Endgame where Duncan and Connor meet for the first time
Add title cards to establish where and when events happen in flashbacks
Try and add the flashbacks from Family Tree regarding Duncan's first death.
Try and have Connor mention Brenda at some point, maybe they have a child together (since he is mortal now and stuff).
Try and add a Joe cameo to foreshadow the future.
With AI voices and stuff, it should be really easy for characters to say new lines while still sounding convincing.
Anyone got any ideas for the first movie?
