Welcome to the seventh installment of Methos Episode discussion. You can find the last one, for 'Methuselah's Gift,' here. All episode discussion links can be found over on the sidebar.

Through A Glass, Darkly, Air Date: May. 1996

MacLeod's old friend Warren Cochrane is hiding a horrible secret he can't bear to remember. Realizing that an Immortal who won't remember what he is is soon a dead Immortal, MacLeod tries to help Warren by reminding him of the history they shared together, of their battles for Scotland's freedom, and of their mission to return Bonnie Prince Charlie to the throne. But MacLeod might have helped his friend more by letting the past stay buried.. ~ via tv.com

Next up will be Till Death [bounce]. Look for it on Thursday.

One quote below the curtain





Duncan: You know, I never know when you're kidding.
Methos: Part of my charm.

I didn't like this episode as much as some of the others but that may have been because of the depressing subject matter. It did make me think about the fB's though and whether they are Duncan's interpretation or not.

I found the whole "bonnie Prince Charlie" thing very sad I almost preferred Warren's version of events as it kept the great man great (could someone clarify what happened at the end)

I am embarrassed to admit I don't really remember Methos in this one *blush* I do recall something about leaving while Duncan was arrested but that is about it any reminders welcome :)

One of the things I liked was the realistic take on Prince Charlie, and another reason pairing that particular song with the episode was so heart tugging for me :)

Methos... the episode opens, if I recall, with him at Alexa's grave. He's with Duncan, and as they are leaving the cemetary, they feel the buzz of another immie. Later on, Duncan gets Methos to go through Watcher records to get the scoop on his old buddy. The end of the episode, Duncan asks if Methos would take the chance to forget his past and start over, and Methos says, no, because then who would remember Alexa? (I'm paraphrasing horribly, I know)
