[[Thanks to breeves@us.oracle.com (Bill Reeves) for his Highlander episode
guide. In his text below, I've added and corrected some material by
using brackets, [...]. Note that unbracketed text below is his! I also added the
writer's and director's name as I like to keep track of those.]]

Hello everyone out there...

With all of the discussion about the Highlander TV series going on,
I thought it was time to post this episode guide I've been working
on.

Some warnings: I haven't re-watched all of the episodes yet, so a lot
of information is not verified.  Everything down below with a question
mark means that I'm not entirely sure about it. 
	[OK! means I confirm the original text. Other places show additions 
or corrections.]

The air dates given are the dates that each episode was shown on 
KOFY-20 in San Francisco.  It's a reasonable assumption that other
stations will show the episodes on different days, but they should
be pretty close to the ones below.  Your mileage may vary.

I haven't included the list of flashbacks which is mentioned below.
At least one person out there has come up with a pretty complete list
of Duncan's flashbacks.  I just haven't typed that info in yet.
	[I'd appreciate a copy of that list. I missed it.]

The plot summaries are pretty lame at this point.  Roderick Lee posted
much more complete summaries on rec.arts.sf.tv recently.  The summaries
here are not intended to give many details on the episode, but rather
to provide a frame of reference for people who haven't memorized the
titles of all of the episodes.

When I get some free time, I'll be sure to re-watch the episodes and
update this information.  Until then, feedback is appreciated...

Finally, there may be SPOILERS down below, especially for those who
have not seen the last couple of episodes.  I haven't seen all of the
11th episode myself, so there is no plot summary yet...
