Finally finished this long-gestating essay about Highlander. Obviously, there will be spoilers ahead. Since everyone loves talking about the mismatched accents and there was no place in the essay to insert this information seamlessly, I wanted to mention that no one involved in the production seemed to give a shit. They weren’t exactly aiming for realism. Although Christopher Lambert’s complete inability to speak English was shocking to the filmmakers — they didn’t meet him until after they cast him — but everyone had fun with it.

It’s always a joy listening to Charlie.

I’ve been waiting eagerly for this episode to air — it’s my favorite of the season.

The attacks against E Corp’s Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are among the most complex hacks we’ve depicted on the show

It was emotional.
