* SequelNonEntity: Faith, Connor's Immortal flame from ''Film/HighlanderEndgame'', doesn't appear, and is replaced with a new love interest named Anna. ''Endgame'' even had a tacked on HappyEnding that was meant to show the two reuniting after Faith had previously been thought dead, which makes her absence here all the more baffling.

** In the same scene, a character mentions the "Central sun of the galaxy". Except.. there is no such thing. There ''is'' likely a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way (and most galaxies) that all the stars orbit around, however, it's definitely not a sun or star (and isn't created from a star that burned out and collapsed, like normal black holes are.)

** The reason for [[AfterTheEnd the sorry state of the world]] is never explained. The closest we get to an explanation is Giovanni suggesting it's due to some punishment from God, however, none of the other characters buy this, and it's never brought up again.

* AfterTheEnd: Yet another ''Highlander'' entry with this setting. The severity of TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt also seems a little inconsistent -- at some points it doesn't seem to have gone any further than much of the world having suffered some kind of economic collapse, while at other points it was apparently severe enough to destroy the Watcher organization and result in global food shortages on such a scale that rampaging groups of cannibals are a serious problem.

* TheLoad: A mild case with Reggie, who isn't ''completely'' useless -- he finds the island where the Source is located, though even if he hadn't been there Anna would have divined the location a couple of minutes later -- but repeatedly proves to be utterly hopeless in any situation where he's required to defend himself. His attempt to take on the Guardian by himself ends up indirectly getting Joe killed, and then later on he actually does get killed by the Guardian, thanks to him standing around and drinking whiskey rather than keeping watch like he's supposed to be doing.

* OffWithHisHead: You bet.Actually downplayed; the only two characters to die via decapitation are Zai Jie and Giovanni. And in Giovanni's case it doesn't lead to a quickening, as he and the others have been stripped of their immortality thanks to their proximity to the Source.
