ithildin: (Methos Blue)
Welcome to the third installment of Methos Episode discussion! You can find the last one, for 'Finale' here.

Chivalry, Air Date: Dec. 1995

Nearly 350 years ago, MacLeod was the devoted lover of Kristin Gilles, a beautiful Immortal who taught him to be a gentleman. When he found another love, Kristin refused to let him go, killing his new lover. Now Kristin is sharing her bed with another new Immortal full of potential -- Richie. Methos, who knows MacLeod has never been able to kill Kristin because of his strict code of honor, has arrived in town to watch the fireworks as MacLeod tries to convince Richie that his new-found love is dangerous. ~ via tv.com


Next up will be Timeless. Look for it on Thursday.

A few quotes below the curtain





(Kristen is on the ground with her sword beside her)
Methos: Pick it up.
Kristen: Who are you?
Methos: Someone who was born long before the age of chivalry. Now pick it up.

Methos: Candygram!
Duncan: Methos. Or should I call you Adam?
Methos: Only you and Joe know that I'm Methos the Immortal. To the rest of the world I'm still Adam Pierson, mild mannered Watcher.
Duncan: Well, mi casa es su casa. How's Paris?
Methos: It's a lot quieter since you left. Taking up origami?
Duncan: No, I'm just renovating an old house.
Methos: Yeah, it's good to keep busy.
Duncan: So, what brings a five thousand year old man to me?
Methos: Kristen's in town. She just opened a new branch of her agency.

Methos: MacLeod-san, that katana is a lovely piece of art. May I? I washed my hands this morning. Quite a blade. (Methos holds the sword to Duncan's neck)
Duncan: Not funny, Methos.
Methos: Not meant to be. Not only are you naive, now you are weaponless. How have you lived this long? Do you know how many Immortals she's killed? Do you want a list?
Duncan: All right, you've made your point.
Methos: Have I? One day she is going to kill you.
Duncan: She's tried already.
Methos: You're better with a blade than her, yes. You are stronger than her, yes. But if you keep letting her walk away, one day she gets lucky and takes your head, yes.
Duncan: Oh, I dunno. Maybe she'll stop to gloat like you. (Duncan knocks Methos down) You wanna play?
Methos: Great! You knock me on my bum because I make a bad joke. Very macho! But you keep letting her walk away without even taking a shot... that is very suicidal.
Duncan: You know what she was to me.
Methos: Yes, and I know what she is, a killer! You treat her like one.
__________________________

Richie: She went nuts! She would have killed me.
Methos: Round two to Kristin. You dump her, and then you turn your back on her? Talk about the blind leading the visually challenged!
Richie: Thank you.

Methos: (to Duncan) A couple of Medieval songwriters come up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day and you embrace it as a lifestyle. You live and die by a code of honor that was trendy when you were a kid.

Duncan: Did you know Mencius?
Methos: Student of Confucius, yeah.
Duncan: I dislike death, but there are things that I dislike more than death.
Methos: Therefore there are occasions when I will not...
Methos/Duncan: ...avoid danger.
Methos: Death before dishonor.
Duncan: For some of us. (holds up paint strip samples) What do you think?
Methos: Get someone in.

we talked about the theory that this is all a long game plan of Methos to suck Duncan in, and then take his head at some point in the future.

Me? Yes, of course it's quite possible, but that's not my own personal perception of Methos :)


oh yes that had occurred to me in my darker moments! not sure atm having just watched Judgment day etc I think Methos would be lucky to keep his head next time he meets Duncan he was seriously pissed off with the man.

Oh BTW Methos "as cute as a bug" definitely :)

Years ago I read a fic that had Methos as a serial killer. Freaked me out! :) And recently I read one where he'd had Cassandra locked up for decades after the Horseman eps, and finally, she's the only other immortal left and he kills her -- with Duncan's katana.

Now, while I enjoy reading good stories like the above, in my heart, I don't see Methos that way.

Oh you wouldn't happen to know where I find the stories you mention? I like being frightened!

But in my heart I do not see Methos like that either.

No, I'm sorry. I don't even remember the titles. The Cassandra one I found on seventh-dimension.org a few weeks ago. The serial killer one I think I read after the Horseman eps aired since it took place after that if I recall.

Sure, I'll at least see if they're the ones I remembered.

Ok I think they are the ones, can not be too many on that theme!

jeez you were not wrong about nightmares!

The cassandra one gave me shivers thinking what he would do to our world now.

But the other, oh god "I never liked the name Jack" arrrgghhh! ok off to find some nice fluff to keep him at bay (never thought I would want to keep him out of my dreams!)

Oh I was thinking about what had been written about AP and PW flirting while filming the scenes in Chivalry and it reminds me of another series with two friends where the actors have mad crazy chemistry with each other, hmm?

Oh, those were indeed them. I'd kinda blocked out how horrific the serial killer one was. Now I remember. [shiver] [shudder]
