Immortality, and its cost, from the POV of the Immortal

No real spoilers here, because the eventual outcome of both story lines are very transparent, and both compliment each other on what it's like to be an Immortal.

To either completely stop caring about others, and live with the pain of the loss of such an essential part of Being, or to continue to care about others, and live with the pain of the loss of those you cared about when they eventually pass on.

The pain of the loss of something loved may dull over time, but it will always hurt, no matter what path you take.

One can chose to feel both pleasure and pain, or to feel neither.

Goofs
When Duncan rescues the child from the burning building he says, "I'll try to get us out of here." He ignores a window in the child's bedroom. He could easily have jumped outside rather than dramatically run through the burning house, except for two things. The first is that we didn't actually see what story the child's bedroom was on, and the second that, being mortal, the child would likely have been severely injured even by jumping through a glass window on the first floor.

Quotes
Duncan MacLeod: He doesn't know who he is anymore.
Tessa Noel: Sounds like he needs therapy.
Duncan MacLeod: It's easier said than done. Can you imagine going in to somebody and saying, "Hello, I'm Duncan MacLeod, and I've gotten a little neurotic over the past 400 years, and I'd like to talk to you about it"? They'd lock you away.
