I absolutely love this episode. One of the things I noticed was how well Amanda seemed to know Methos - the familiarity when she talked about him.

They were quite clear that whatever the stone meant, if Methuselah lived longer because of it - it had nothing to do with their own immortality. Duncan said it to Methos and he agreed. I remember David A talking in the outtakes about how it was when an atheist had someone they loved dying. And even though they didn't believe, they might pray because what if they were wrong. And he likened that to Methos that even though he didn't believe in the stone, what if he was wrong? and he had to do whatever he could - give Alexa any chance that he could to save her.
