'Indiscretions'

[ithildin]

Welcome to the eighteenth installment of Methos Episode Discussion. You can find the last one, for Archangel here. All prior episode discussion links can be found over on the sidebar.

Indiscretions, Air Date: May 1998

Methos and Joe Dawson join forces when past indiscretions threaten their lives-- and loved ones-- in the present. Morgan Walker has been nursing a grudge against Methos for two hundred years, and now he may finally get the chance to take his revenge... by kidnapping Joe's daughter. ~ recap and quotes via tv.com

Quotes below the curtain





Walker: I've waited almost two hundred years for this.
Methos: Do the words 'obsessive-compulsive' mean anything to you?

Joe: You have to turn the car around.
Methos: Why?
Joe: You're going the wrong way!
Methos: I beg to disagree, the bullets are back that way!
________________________

Methos: Just because I don't like to fight doesn't mean I can't.

Methos: Joe, we actually make a really good team. We could be like Scully and Mulder.
Joe: Yeah, right.
Methos: Sipowitz and Simone.
Joe: Whatever.
Methos: Caligula and Incutatis. No, maybe not Incutatis, cause he was a horse...
Joe: Will you shut up!
________________________

Joe: Just cause you couldn't keep it in your pants two hundred years ago, you expect me to turn over the Chronicles.
Methos: That was the basic idea, yes.

I agree with all of your post Pat! especially

(and remember - she got *his* body and loving out of the deal so it wasn't one-sided)

oh yes I could cope with that! (maybe not the dying afterward but heh)

I loved this episode so much I can not find enough words, so many things wonderful in it (The Methos and Joe Show totally should have been picked up by a TV station!)

Joe: You have to turn the car around.
Methos: Why?
Joe: You're going the wrong way!
Methos: I beg to disagree, the bullets are back that way!

Joe: You know, the Chronicles are not your personal Rolodex. You find another way to hunt him.

Methos: Hunt?! I don't want to hunt him!

and the hitch-hiking?
Joe: Let me try
Methos: [steps aside] Yeah, sure. They won't stop for me but they'll stop for you. Of course, they will.
Joe: [grins and licks thumb] Observe and record.
[Joe sticks his thumb out. A van immediately slows and stops. Joe laughs.]
These guys should get to do more comedy
OK so the drivers were all blind? come on who would not want to stop for these two guys!

Hmm reading quotes on methos.org think I will go dream a while :)

Did anyone find it strange that they went to bed in the same room where he was treating what appeared to be sick child? I mean they walk over a few feet and wham!, she comes on to him, he responses and they are getting naked.

Okay, he wear the blue boxers - did they have blue boxers in 1808?, but it was just kinda weird. Methos wont do a threesome with Mary Shelly but he will have sex with a child in the room?

The leaving her part, no problem with that, Walker could not be sure the immortal was in his bed, just in the area so I figure Methos never really expected Walker to kill her.

That's a good point about the sick child. I admit I forgot about the child once Methos picked her up in his arms. I also suspect everyone else did too - including Methos and Charlotte. Obviously the director did too *g*.

You expect them to have three rooms for each slave at the beginning of 1800s? Gosh, I think you're taking modern conveniences for granted. :)

"You expect them to have three rooms for each slave at the beginning of 1800s? Gosh, I think you're taking modern conveniences for granted. :)"

No. Actually I thought the bed was Walkers, not hers. And, given the digs, they were definitely not slaves quarters, since slaves would not have had beds - probably not even a pallet or mat, just the floor and blanket, and there would have been more of them, so clearly this was "Walkers" home / rooms.

It therefore follows anyone in them - Charlotte, child, - would be in a privileged position with Walker. Risking "sex" with another man (however enticing Methos may be), with a witness who could tell Walker is illogical, and Charlotte was very logical about Walker and not getting caught.

The child was her brother. You really think she was keeping him in Walker's bedroom?

No, that seems normal for the time and for most of Methos's existence. I'm sure he was delighted when civilization reached the point where you didn't have your LIVESTOCK in the same one-room house with you.

Sick Child in Room

"I'm sure he was delighted when civilization reached the point where you didn't have your LIVESTOCK in the same one-room house with you."

Well, having chickens, dogs, sheep and goats (see Byron discussion) in the same room is one thing. Having a child, and a sick child at that, is something else. Not to mention, the conversation seemed to indicate they did not want walker to know about it, so a witness seems a little careless on their part. Not to mention the next morning a "sick" child would have required attention even before Walker got back. I think I agree that they just forgot.
