Judgement Day/One Minute to Midnight, Air Date: May 1996/Sept. 1996
Dawson's life is on the line when the Watchers try him on the charge of treason for his friendship with MacLeod. Watcher deaths have risen dramatically since Dawson first told MacLeod about the Watchers and the Tribunal is determined to punish Joe and stop the killing. MacLeod and Dawson argue his case, but even as the trial goes on, the Watcher killings continue.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Immortals and Watchers are poised at the brink of war. On the orders of the Watcher Tribunal, every Watcher in Europe is hunting for MacLeod, to bring him in dead or alive. MacLeod discovers that the real killer is Jacob Galati, a Gypsy MacLeod once traveled with, who has vowed to destroy all the mortals who wear the Watcher tattoo, convinced they are all out to destroy Immortals. ~ via tv.com

Date: 2006-05-22 07:44 pm (UTC)From:And I find the cellar in "Shakespeare and Co." an even more intriguing place for them to hide, after reading about the stellar literary history of the original Parisian shop. (It was started by a remarkable young woman, Sylvia Beach, after World War I. Frequented by dozens of authors in the twenties and thirties, from Hemingway to Joyce, and barely survived the perils of the Nazi occupation. )
I wonder what literary gems and discussions the bibliophiles Joe and Methos shared down in that historic basement...

Mmmm, excellent point. Joe no doubt was rather immobile while he was healing, and they had nothing but time to talk and read and think.

I'm half-way through the 2nd story now. Hold that thought for 6 months?
