For instance, in show we have seen a number of immortals find each other amongst a group of people, usually by meeting eyes after experiencing the Buzz. So I think it's akin to a type of "sifting through the masses" to see who else is doing a similar kind of searching; logic would stand to reason that only fellow Immortals trying to size up a target would be looking around for the source of the signal. | |

The range and intensity of the Buzz is varied, depending upon the age and power of the Immortals involved...the Immortal feels a prickling at the base of the neck, followed by what appears to be a surge of adrenaline. Physical senses appear to be enhanced, to the point where one Immortal can turn and zero in on the other without even looking .highlander.fandom.com/wiki/The_Buzz | |

| Oct 16, 2019 at 19:40 | comment | added | Russhiro | William Panzer was part of Davis-Panzer Inc, the production company behind the Highlander franchise. He co-wrote screenplays for three Highlander films, and was the Executive Producer for Highlander: The Series. In an interview on the 2001 bonus material of the series season 1 DVD, Panzer defines the Buzz as "a concept of Immortals being able to sense each other's presence from a reasonable distance. We called it the Buzz. That word was never used, but that's how it was featured in the scripts." @LincolnMan, will that work? | |
