In the episode (Run For Your Life) there was an evil cop who was also a watcher trying to kill Carl Robinson.I kind of guessed that he was possibly a renagade watcher or Hunter Like Horton.Could he have been a lone renagade watcher or was he part of Horton's Hunters?Dueing the episode the Cop is on the phone talking to someone about Duncan was he talking to Horton?
So it's treason then!
not much is known about Eugene Carter. his info was classified.
he was watching Andrew Balin. which is the trigger for these Watchers going renegade. is that the immortals they watched were all evil and just bad people.
Horton watched The Kurgan, that'd give anyone reason to lose respect in immortals.
i assumed they all worked together on the sidelines. with Horton as the leader.though by that point Horton was presumed dead. Carter wasnt the only renegade Watcher that we saw trying to elminiate immortals without Horton present. so maybe they all had small factions all over the world that worked to elminiate immoratls.
Yes you mean like that renagade watcher who kidnaped the lovers of immortals and lured them into that dark room and then used night vision goggles to take their heads while they couldn't see.
shareyep.
what made them such a threat is that they had their own private network that kept track of immortals. so im sure at some point they exchanged information with each other. but for the most part they did set their own plots to kill off immortals.
what i disliked is that they targeted all the good immortals. would have been very interesting to see the opposite of what we saw in Unholy Alliance. to see Horton try to take out someone like Kalas. who then turned things upside down on them. would have been riveting to see Horton have to work with MacLeod to stop Kalas.
I agree that they only targeted good immortals instead of evil immortals.I wonder if that renagade watcher who kidnaped Tessa had kidnaped one of peter Kanis's dogs to lure him into the dark room what would have happened.
shareexactly.
the Watchers were only making things worse by taking out all the good decent people and leaving all the evil immortals around.
Horton despised St. Cloud yet still worked alongside him just to take out MacLeod...
youd think that with any sound logic, that Horton would help MacLeod to stop all these bad immortals, and THEN turn on MacLeod in the end. would have made for an interesting season. and the audience would sorta feel some sympathy for Horton in that we would see him do some good despite his ulterior motives.
I'm sure they also went after the evil immortals; we just didn't see it because the show focused on the protagonists.

yes it was. it was a big part of why he became what he became. the Kurgan was what part of what influenced him into hunting down immortals. before that he was watching Kage. as we all saw during that time, Kage let innocent children get slaughtered. after Kurgan, he was watching Blake Wilmington who caused "brutal carnage" in an Amusement Park massacre. to the point where Horton had to be evaluated for post traumatic stress.
all that would lead to have just about anyone see immortals as having no humanity.
the irony of it is that he was assigned to watch evil immortals, yet he hunted down all the good immortals.
Kage was actually Horton's first immortal assignment. Then after him he watched the Kurgan. He watched some of the most evil immortals, with the Kurgan pretty much at the top of the list. That helped him have his distorted view of al immortals.
