I wonder if they'll bother to release the single season of Highlander: Raven too. What a waste of a series that was  |

I'd heard that originally, season 6 was to have been set in the near future, say 20 years down the line from where season 5 left off.
That interesting idea was nixed at the last minute due to budget concerns. Would have been an interesting way to end the series. |

I'm not a fan of the show but that is a fantastic release schedule Anchorbay USA has cooked up. Other companies (especially Universal and Fox!!) take note. |

I have the first two seasons. I will definitely get the remaining four. Season six still has a couple of good episodes in there...particularly the 2 finale episodes 'To Be' and 'Not To Be' as well as 'Indiscretions'. I'll get it for them.
Recently watched- Star Trek: Season 3, Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery[UMD], Batman: The Animated Series - Vol. 1, Kung Fu: Season 2, I Am Legend, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, Be Kind Rewind, Batman[UMD], Bonnie and Clyde

I just noticed that in addition to the Season Four set out now, and the remaining seasons due out soon, Anchor Bay is also going to roll out three individual two-parters-on-one-disc from the Highlander series:
On May. 25th, they'll be issuing FINALE - which is not the finale of the series, it is simply titled FINALE (Macleod's arch enemy, Kalas, is safely tucked away doing life in prison - until Amanda "cleaverly" busts him out, trying to finally take his head. But things don't work out as she planned and now Kalas is free - and seeking revenge), COUNTERFEIT, and UNHOLY ALLIANCE.
No word on whether these are newly created from the remastered series episodes, or if they simply used the VHS masters (when these three titles had been released as stand-alones on VHS, they added some cheesy opening credits, and even tried to matte the picture ever-so-slightly to create a false widescreen impression -- hopefully these WONT be the source for these 3 new DVDs).
This info comes secondhand, from someone on ebay trying to sell advance orders of these. But they did picture cover art, so it looks like it may be real.
Myself, I think I'm going to go for the whole season sets, but these 3 2-parters were excellent episodes and well deserving of being released as stand-alones.

According to the Official Highlander website, all 6 seasons are already available from them directly. However, they list season 6 as being 7 discs which contains 22 episodes. I'm thinking their info is a bit off, since season 6 only had 13 episodes...
