That's the thing I didn't get because Amanda was a terrible fighter. She could barely use a sword and lost nearly every fight she had. She only survived because she was smart or she had someone to protect her.

What I heard was that originally they were going to use another female highlander, the one Duncan fought and put up a good fight, but she was such a bad actress that they decided to use Elizabeth Gracen, who, was a fan fave, so they then made her a recurring character.

The thing is, Culea's Amy was a good character. She wasn't too big to overshadow the boys but was a nice counterpoint to them. It does seem like she wanted to do more and that became an issue butI do feel the show missed out by letting her go. She reminded me of Stephanie Zimbalist from Remington Steele.
