Quotes below the curtain
Duncan: You should write fortune cookies.
Methos: Yeah? Maybe I should, just so long as I'm not writing your epitaph.

Methos: I just came by to watch the perfect Immortal die.
Duncan: I'm not!
Methos: Not what? Not the perfect Immortal or not gonna die?

Amanda: Duncan, you're the best man I know. You make people better, you know - people like me, people who didn't give a damn about anything in their whole lives until you came along with your big brown eyes and your boyscout rules.
________________________
Amanda: Methos. Open the door. I know you're there. Methos! Methos, it's Amanda!
Methos: Do you want to knock a bit louder? I don't think they heard you in Philadelphia!

Methos: (to Duncan) You wanted to kill; you killed them. You know, Keane is just like you; he wants to divide the world up into good and bad. Well, it's not that simple. We are all both, good and evil. We have rage and compassion. We have love and hate. Murder and forgiveness. Why don't you try forgiving yourself for once.

Forgive Us Our Trespasses, Air Date: May 1997
After the Scottish massacre at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, Duncan MacLeod was a man possessed, obsessed, with killing the English bastards who had destroyed his people. Now Immortal Steven Keane has come to make MacLeod pay for his murderous crimes. Amanda urges MacLeod to take Keane's head and be done with it, but in his heart MacLeod knows that Keane is right -- he is a murderer -- and that Keane is judging him just like MacLeod has judged so many others. ~ recap and quotes via tv.com

The Boxer Shorts
Date: 2006-06-07 06:55 pm (UTC)From:Watch how Methos moves. One moment he's sound asleep then he feels the buzz. In less than a second, he's up, across the room with his sword in hand and on guard. I tried to freeze frame it to get screen caps as he went from bed to wall but he moved so fast it was just a blur!!
I keep saying this but no one takes me seriously. Everyone falls for sweet, shy Adam Pierson all hunched over in his raincoat. Don't let him fool you! Don't confuse Adam Pierson with Methos. Adam Pierson is just a mask. (I would love it if some vidder did one of Methos/Adam to Billy Joel's "The Stranger".) The real Methos is a stone cold bastard. Don't ever forget it and don't ever turn your back on him.
Sweet Brigid, I adore him... :)

And thank you for agreeing to disagree so gracefully instead of telling me I'm a waste of bandwidth!
LOL! I know when I'm outnumbered [g] Seriously, it would be rather silly of me to start ep discussions if I got my knickers in a twist over being disagreed with, huh? :)
The opinions expressed so far are all good ones and I think they can be taken as different facets of the same diamond; none of them wrong just shining in a slightly different way!
And what a lovely diamond he is!

I do agree though that Methos and Adam are so different after this episode I wouldn't want to turn my back on Methos and would definitely wonder about sweet shy Adam what would it take to make him drop the mask? and how big a start would I get before he started chasing :)
