'Finale'

[ithildin]

Welcome to our second installment of Methos Episode discussion! You can find the first one, for 'Methos' here.

Finale Parts One & Two, Air Date: May 1995

Amanda accidentally helps Kalas escape from prison by trying to do MacLeod a favor and kill Kalas for him. After an attempt on Maurice's life thwarted by MacLeod, Kalas kidnaps Amanda to use as bait against MacLeod, but Amanda manages to escape.

Meanwhile, Christine Salzer, the widow of a Watcher killed by Kalas (in "Methos") decides to get her revenge on Immortals and Watchers alike by exposing their secret to the media. Dawson and Methos team up to try and talk Christine out of it, but she's determined to take a computer disk with the identities of all known Immortals and Watchers on it to a newspaper publisher. Dawson, desperate, tries to kill her outside the newspaper building, but is stopped by MacLeod and Methos. Christine enters the building and the Immortals and the Watchers know their lives are about to change forever.

As Christine tells her tale to the newspaper publisher, MacLeod and Amanda, knowing their world is about to end, finally admit they love each other. Kalas kills Christine and the publisher and steals the computer disk before they have a chance to spread the story. Kalas offers MacLeod a deal -- MacLeod offers up his head or the contents of the disk are made public. Dawson and the Watchers attempt to find Kalas, but this only results in more dead Watchers.

Methos tries to talk MacLeod out of it, but MacLeod agrees to fight Kalas on top of the Eiffel Tower. Kalas is defeated and the resulting Quickening, amplified by the Tower, sends a power surge that disrupts every computer in the vicinity -- including Kalas'. The information on the disk is destroyed and Immortals and Watchers maintain their anonymity. ~via tv.com

Next week, we'll move on to Season Four with Chivalry and Timeless (I love Chivalry!)

A few quotes below the curtain





Joe: What were you thinking about?
Methos: I wasn't thinking, I was improvising.
Joe: By cutting yourself open? It took you five thousand years to come up with that?
Methos: What were you expecting? Einstein? Freud? Buddha? I'm sorry, Joe, I'm just a guy.
Joe: I guess next you're gonna tell me there's no Santa Claus.

Duncan: What d'you mean?
Methos: If you die, Amanda will be free to date.
Duncan: That's a comfort.

Methos: I was in Rome once, ninety-three AD, Coliseum, I saw Christians facing the lions. Some of them looked almost happy to die for their faith.
Duncan: Your point or we just strolling down memory lane here?
Methos: But afterwards the only ones looking happy were the lions.
Duncan: This isn't about faith.
Methos: No, it's about sacrifice. It's a hell of a thing to be a martyr, MacLeod, and that's what Kalas wants; he's pushing all your buttons.
Duncan: Well, I'm open to suggestions; enlighten me.
Methos: Maybe Amanda's right; you fight your best fight.
Duncan: What, every man for himself and to hell with the rest?
Methos: So what if the world finds out. Life is about change, civilizations rise and fall.
Duncan: This isn't about civilizations, this is about people. Amanda, Dawson, Richie. Our world is not an ant farm.

"Hi, I'm the world's oldest immortal -- how do you like my repellent orange cords? Cool, huh?"

*Giggles.* They're "Adam" pants. You're suppose to take one look at them and go, "No way would a 5,000 year old man's taste be so bad he'd wear those." You know, thinking about it, that may explain the fringe leather jacket in the next Highlander flick too. It's some kind of camouflage. *Ponders.*

I have yet to see the leather fringe jacket! I had one when I was 10 :)

ROTFL! Sort of a riff on "Adam Pierson couldn't afford any place I would stay." (I think that's the quote)

Shoot! I can't remember where I saw the still to pass it along. I thought the still was bad until I saw the jacket in motion in the footage they played for us at Leeds. *Shudders.* I'm afraid, afraid.

*Smiles brightly.* Exactly. ;)

Open call!! If anyone has a link to the fringe jacket, pleeeease let me know! I'll love you forever.

Is this the pic?



It's from a post pat_t made in highlander_lj a while back.

Btw, I'm enjoying these discussions. When I have a brain again I'll try to contribute a bit. I hope you don't mind that I've friended you.

Glad you're enjoying the discussions! Thanks for pic! I don't see any fringes, so I dunno, but it's nice regardless :) And no, I love being friended!

[marys-scribbles.livejournal.com]

This is the only pic I've seen with a fringe ... If you look under his left arm you'll see a bit of it hanging down. But yeah, it's a nice pic regardless. Yet another of those things that make me so torn about this new film.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Probably my monitor. At work, it's flooded with light and it's hard to see detail. Will look closer at home.

As for the movie, at the least, we'll have some pretty pics of Methos out of it :)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

ah hah! Now I see the fringes on my home computer. Thank you so much!

[beccadg.livejournal.com]

It's on the arms, up and down them... Fortunately I can't remember at the moment if it goes across the back too. My powers of repression are strong. :D

*Nods.* That's the still I was thinking of, thought it seems like a mushier scan than I saw. *Wonders where she saw it.*
