HLS5: 'The Messenger'

[ithildin]

Let's see if this episode generates more interest than 'Glory Days' did!

Highlander Season Five

The Messenger
Air Date: Nov. 1996

Richie's found a new teacher: an Immortal who preaches a message of peace. An Immortal who believes that all Immortals can lay down their swords and live together as brothers. An Immortal who claims to be the oldest of their kind still alive -- Methos. Will laying down his sword in the name of peace mean Richie will lose his head? And what does this mean for the friend MacLeod already calls Methos?

The fake Methos. I always wondered if he really believed his spiel or if it was a way to winnow down the competition?

I'm always amused at the light speed Duncan achieves getting form the dojo to Richie with his sword.

I've always assumed that the fake Methos is the reason Kronos actually ended up finding the real Methos.

Same here. I interpreted Methos's "oh expletive" face when Kronos said he'd slipped up there as "I should have killed that imposter centuries ago."

The fake Methos. I always wondered if he really believed his spiel or if it was a way to winnow down the competition? I've wondered it too, it's hard to tell and perhaps that's how the writers wanted it-it's never clearly answered. I tend to be mistrusting so I think my instinct would be that he's plotting the immortals against each other so as to pick them all out. Buuuut there's the part of me that would also like to believe that he really was a good man. As for the fake Methos being the reason the real one found Methos...I'm not sure, I've never thought about it and it's been quite sometime since I've watched them consecutively but I'll have to do that now.
