'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 don't know--Methos reads Joe very well, and he certainly knows the sight (and feel) of a man caught on the horns of a dilemma. I'm almost amazed he didn't make a horny joke ;)

I don't think he would cast Joe into the enemy camp for struggling with weighing his daughter's life against endangering Methos. I do think that Methos would expect Joe to eventually realize that tactically and strategically they had a better chance to rescue Amy together than by acceding to Morgan's wishes. In fact, by teasing Joe unmercifully, Methos might have slowed down Joe's recognition of that fact.

Methos' plan is clearly better, and Joe falls in with it with no little enthusiasm. Too bad Duncan didn't listen nearly so well in "To Be..." , he might not have freaked out Joe so much by offering up his head. All in all, I'd say Joe had the superior learning curve, and Methos suspected as much *eg*.
