The incredibly annoying Richie (Stan Kirsh) is the lead character in this underwhelming episode. Joan Jett is the guest star. I was a fan of hers back in the day, and saw her in concert. She looked a lot more petite when I saw her live. In this episode, maybe she had been bulking up, but she looks very manly, and her voice is totally man-like.
I had never watched Highlander when it was on TV, because I could not fast-forward through Richie's scenes. Now I can, so I started watching it from the first episode. Richie is the worst combination of annoying characteristics. First of all, he has a big mouth and a bad attitude, but he is a total wimp, so he has to rely on Duncan MacLeod to back up his mouth. Secondly, he is a no-talent vagrant bum who is living off Duncan's charity, yet he is always mouthing off to Duncan. Thirdly, he is always creating problems and expecting MacLeod to take care of them. It never made any sense as to why this useless character was on the show. Richie is a drag on almost every episode he is in.
This time, Joan Jett targets Richie in order to get into the home of MacLeod. Since Richie is a moron, he immediately falls in love with the most masculine woman that he has ever met. Needless to say, it all ends badly for Richie, and MacLeod has to step in. The acting by Joan Jett is wooden at best. It is hard to watch her and Richie together, since they have to be one of the worst pair of actors that were ever filmed. The story is predictable, down to the point where Richie asks MacLeod for a personal favor.
