Welcome to the sixth installment of Methos Episode discussion. You can find the last one, for 'Deliverance' here, and links to all episode discussions past over on the sidebar.

Methuselah's Gift, Air Date: April. 1996

When masked thugs try to take Amanda's head in her sleep and steal the crystal given to her long ago by Rebecca, Amanda and MacLeod investigate. They discover the the crystal may be part of the Methuselah Stone, a mystic talisman said to impart eternal life and invulnerability to the wearer and that the person willing to kill Amanda to get it may be -- Methos? ~ via tv.com

Next up will be Through A Glass, Darkly . Look for it on Monday.

I find it interesting that Methos refuses to say that he has nothing to do with the attack on Amanda, though he clearly didn't do it. I also like that he weeps unselfconsciously - there's a sense there of how different Methos's attitudes must be, first formed 5,000 years ago. His desperation in this episode is also intriguing, countered against his acceptance of Alexa's dying in "Timeless". One gets the feeling that it had been quite some time since he had last allowed himself to fall so completely in love with mortal (and I do read it as heads-over-heels love, at least on his part).

Next up will be Through A Glass, Darkly.

Aww, that's one of the few episodes I didn't get to rewatch over winter break, and the link for it on highlandermedia isn't working.

I always love episodes when Duncan Amanda and Methos are all in them. This one was very well done and I loved the mystery behind it. Also being able to see more of Amanda and Rebecca's history.

One thing - did you notice the desperation when Duncan told Amanda that he wanted to get Methos out of there when the Watchers had captured him?
