He was right there in the series finale along with Joe Dawson and Amanda.  But anyway, I saw it on tv the other day, too. Adrian Paul was great as Duncan, and that part where he says "I love you, Connor" and then he cut off his head was really emotional. To bad Christopher Lambert looked like utter hell and didn't seem to be putting all that much effort into his acting.  But overall, though, the movie sucked. They did a terrible job of integrating the Watchers into the movie, much less explaining the rogue element within the Watchers who want to interfere with the Game. The villain was also lame as hell. Jacob Kell was nowhere near as impressive as Kurgan, or even Cain (sp?). He was just a silly villain, and it makes no sense why all those immortals were there working for him, and why they so willingly let themselves get beheaded by him (Except for that one chinese guy and Kate). It was also a convoluted mess.  On the plus side, though, at least individual scenes in the movie were great. I really enjoyed a lot of the Connor/Duncan scenes, and the Duncan/Kate scenes. I may get the DVD just so I can watch specific scenes, again, rather than the whole movie. I also liked that whole subplot with Kate, how he killed her to make her immortal, and that drove her nuts. They both had their valid points as far as their quarrel went. Yeah, he should have told her and let her decide. He shouldn't have just forced that on her like that. However, she should have gotten it through her head that no other immortal has ever had a choice in the matter as to whether they can be immortal or not. So in that regard she's no exception. Well, whatever the case, glad that was settled (Though from what I undestand, in the movie version Kell DID cut off her head. He didn't let her live like in the tv version).  All in all, I was disappointed with the movie. It most certainly is NOT the movie that one expected after seeing the trailers on the tv and in the theatres. However, it does have its worthwhile parts. I'd personally grade it as a D+, with individual scenes in the B range.</blockquote>
