The series really began to find it's footing with "Run for Your Life" in the second season (...) it was the thematic writing that elevated this series into a different category than your standard fantasy/adventure fare, and that came with David A. in the second season.
I have to agree. The introduction of the Watchers as a counterpart to The Game (which offers too little variance) and themed episodes together made the series much more complex and interesting. Though of course without Methos it would never have been what it eventually became. :-) He added so much depth.
Actually, keeping Kronos alive longer would have added even more, very likely. I wonder why they wasted him.
