"Very excellent episode."
It was good. The intro of the watchers and the addition of Jim as Joe Dawson really helped to let the series find its footing and momentum. With the subsequent addition of Methos it hit its full stride.
" And Horton gives me the shivers. "
Very much one of the best bad guys. Frankly I never figured why they did not just shoot the smug bastard. I kept envisioning a raider of the Lost Arc moment with the gun versus sword and a big surprise for Horton when Mac pulls a gun. But alias, as Methos was not around yet - had he been Horton would have gotten his just, proper and excruciating end.
