I always viewed them as such when viewing them all together as a whole:
Highlander (Connor didnt win the Prize after defeating the Kurgan)
The Series
The Raven
Endgame
Reunion
when I am in a Connor MacLeod only type of mood:
Highlander
Highlander: The Gathering
Highlander III The Sorcerer
when I am feeling masochistic:
Highlander 2 (special edition)
Highlander: The Source (original cut)
when im in an animated cartoony mood:
Highlander: The Animated Series
Highlander: The Search for VengeancePower to the Donut!

The TV series retcons the first movie's story so that the events of 1985 were merely the beginning of the Gathering. The fourth and fifth movies occur after the series finale. The second and third movies both exist outside of the TV show's timeline by design*, but the third film's antagonist did appear in a comic book set in the TV series universe. The two animated properties are essentially incompatible with the TV timeline because The Source (set in the near future) reveals that there is no Prize in this universe, which means that immortals probably aren't going to be battling for it in the distant future.
*The TV show had to ignore Highlander II because that film was set in the future and implied that no immortals had appeared on Earth from 1985 to 2024. Its poor reception didn't help matters, of course. Meanwhile, the third Highlander film's premise was conceived around the time of its predecessor's U.S. release, and even when Davis-Panzer decided to pursue a TV series, they kept the new movie as a separate project, likely in an effort to hedge their bets in case the TV show flopped.__________________________________________________

So he decided to remove his account and all of his comments from here. Except he couldn't delete his account, so he started editing most of his posts except those he missed, demanding that someone delete them. Eventually the PTB banned him.Ye know why they`re on the internet don`t ye? `Cause ye wouldnae speak to them in the fecking pub! ~ Billy Connolley

Very true! I used to blame the black background, but since we are grey now..
I read the above post wrong, I thought he wrote 'community', hence my lack of continuity....Last edited by ~mj~; 07-29-2019, 02:56 AM.Ye know why they`re on the internet don`t ye? `Cause ye wouldnae speak to them in the fecking pub! ~ Billy Connolley

What we need is a Crisis on Infinte Highlander reboot, as they did with the DC Universe in 1985. Or the streamlining work Disney did with Star Wars, the canon is the 6 movies and the War of the CXlones cartoon, the expanded universe never happened.
To me only the first Highlander and the original series matter. Maybe the Raven too.
Nicolas Ward quoted me as saying :
"I care very little about the canonical universe to be frank, way too inconsistent and with dumb movies to boot. We rebooted the entire franchise with Apollo1, at least in the chronicles we wrote for the canonical characters : Duncan doesn't kill so many Immortals, the movies timelines are negated, so is the Raven. Important parts of the series are still there however... but different."
Very true. The Homemade Watcher Chronicles have outgrown the original Highlander verse which I love very much. I still did some adjustements over the year but what matters is how I feel about Highlander. Ward never understood my points.
I stick with Highlander I, Season 1-5 (exept Ahriman), the Watcher Chronicles CD, I ignore Highglander III, Endgame and most of the Raven.
Everyone is entitled to his own vision of the Highlanderverse. Ward is sadly mistaken when he points that I hijack Highlander.
