'Methos'

[ithildin]

So it looks like Alison is on board for the discussion of the Methos episodes here. Just a little recap, she's a new fan of the show, so this is all fresh, bright, and sparkly for her and she was looking for people to talk to about the show:)

My plan -- at least at this moment -- is to post a recap of the episode and let the comments take it from there. Any better ideas on how to set this up are more than welcome. Depending on how it goes, I'll do two a week.

Methos, Air Date: 03/95

When two Watchers end up dead by Kalas' hand, Joe realizes that Kalas is looking for Methos, the mythical "oldest Immortal." MacLeod knows that, with Methos' quickening, Kalas would finally be strong enough to defeat him. Kalas and MacLeod race to be the first to find Methos.~ Recap via tv.com

There's a bit about Richie and the pointless race backstory, but we don't really care about that, do we? Heh!

Next up for discussion will be Finale 1 & 2, in case anyone had the urge to go watch before we talk :)

One note: you can comment here without being an LJ user, but if you do comment anon, could you sign your comment with a name so we can think of you as something other than 'hey you' :) Thx!

Addendum: The 'Finale' discussion is going on here.

Oh I don't know - I never talk about Highlander or Methos *g*.

Hmm, was Richie in this episode? Nope. Don't think so - not since I re-burned it to dvd *without* those annoying scenes. It's a little shorter - but a much better show now. So, what is the plan to get lots of people in on the discussion?

Where do you want to start? His gorgeous eyes? The way he and Mac meet? Has your friend seen the show yet? Does she have any clue about the Duncan and Methos dynamics? Has she heard of slash - or is that an area we need to go way around the bend to not run into it?

How about the scene under the tunnel? Did Methos really want to give his quickening to Duncan or did he know Duncan would never take his head and was using the opportunity to play on Duncan's sympathies and make him all protective?

Pat, you're a natural conversation starter :) Thank you! I've sent her the link, so she will show up at some point. She's in the UK, so we have some time lag going on. She's seen at least the first few Methos eps AFAIK. I'm asuming she's heard of slash since I know her from House M.D. fandom, which is very slashy. As for if we talk about it, I'm going to let people talk about what they want to. I won't be talking about it since I'm not into Duncan/Methos :) But don't let that stop anyone. I'm used to being the lone non slasher in the group.

As for the tunnel scene, that was going to my first actual discussion post. However, I probably should do some actual work at work first, then post. It's a concept!

I'll be back a lil later.

(I need a Methos icon!)

Fear not Ith. I don't discuss Duncan/Methos either, except to say I'm not into it. ;)

Eyes, voice, hands... Is it warm in here? Did I mention the voice?

Oh yeah, I was supposed to be working. I got distracted. Really going to work now. Honest!

I know it's hard, so you're a real trooper for talking about such an ugly subject. [g]

I don't actually have a Richie free ep made, but I do skip all those parts every single time. No offense to the youngling, but the whole thing had no bearing whatsoever on the front story. And most of it was bikes roaring around and around and around...

So, what is the plan to get lots of people in on the discussion?

Plan? Plan? What is this plan? Heh. I posted a link to several email lists, and to my blog. Other than that....?
