By my count, the Clan MacLoed has produced at least four immortals: Conner MacLoed (from the original movies), Duncan MacLoed (from the tv show), Colin MacLoed (from the anime), and Quentin MacLoed (from the cartoon). There’s something in that Scottish water, I swear. Being a kid’s show (and having a budget counted in nickels), the animated series forwent the most crucial part of the whole Highlander mythos: decapitations. Instead, it took place in a post-apocalyptic world, where all the immortals (barring the bad guy) had sworn to pacifism in order to preserve humanity’s knowledge, and they then “share” it with young Quentin by both grasping the same sword. That’s right, they osmose the information, which Quentin uses to try and defeat the big bad. The series had some promise, but was far to weighed down in trying to keep things kid friendly.
