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.

ya, I think TPTB probably meant the flashbacks to be "reality" and not a biased interpretation. But to me that's not as interesting as the flashbacks being colored by POV.

The Methos/DM interactions had interesting undercurrents. There's Methos referring to the Watchers as "we". There's the sense that DM is aware of Methos's sorrow, and maybe isn't sure what to do with it. He's just a bit awkward, even as he's trying to be comforting. Also, Methos seems a bit deflated when he realizes Mac has come for information. All very subtextual, and maybe just my interpretation.

No, I don't think it's just you. I sensed some of that too -- you just do a much better job of voicing it than I do :)
