relationships, deception, roleplaying, and Methos going to live on the barge right after making a point of having to keep a low profile.
If there isn't D/M going on it really doesn't make a lot of sense.
Mind you, by the 'theme' logic, there would be Duncan/Fitzcairn too, three couples in different times.
They are too silly whenever they're together. Dating would be bad for both of them.
D/M? Would be bad for Methos. Mac treats him no so very well. And also there's all the danger and nearly beheadings.
I can't figure out this episode without the / though. I mean there's the get the marrieds back together on one side, and the acting like old marrieds just turning up and moving in and snarking and then the fake out where she acts like she has killed him. That is just friends?
And also, ouch. Believing that even for one minute, would have felt really, really bad.
Which would be her point. I mean they made her think he nearly died, fair is fair.
They could have tried using words first. I mean that whole little drama happened because he was talking to *him* (who in the flashbacks wasn't even his friend) and not *her* (who he treated like someone to be won, not to chat with, in the flashbacks). If he had tried 'how would you feel if someone took his head?' then that might have made a difference.
Methos, Iceland in a row boat, oh dear.
The sitting lotus saying Om.
Lots of nice Methos moments.
But a slightly odd episode.
I was thinking, and my thought is that comparing the pacing in this season to season 3 makes 4 look not so very good. After the Dark Quickening it kind of went floppy. That was the high point of the season. And, okay, logically you need time to deal with the fallout on that, but then they don't deal, just kind of ignore it a lot. I can't make there be any themey things holding these eps together. At least not if I concentrate on Mac. Methos has a bit of a relationships and marriage thing going on. A sad one, but a thing.
That Mac completely ignores. But then Methos is kind of off hand about it all. Married 68 times he says.
It was interesting how he said it. Like, 'I was married once' is something he can get away with in character, no thinking required. Was Adam Pierson married? Maybe so, maybe not, but it doesn't mess up his identity particularly if he says he was ('for about a week in Vegas' for instance clears up all contradictions, or 'part of a play'). But then he thinks about it and says '67... no, 68 times'. Assuming thats an accurate count, he started with generic, then gave genuine. I wonder if Alexa was 68 and the 67 is memorised but he had to update?
He's either very blase or very good at covering up any feeling, not leaving an opening that makes it look like he cares, not letting his insides get ripped out by feeling vultures. But he was very open with Alexa. So why would he hide with Mac? But very different situation. "Never one of us".
Is he covering stuff up?
"Like you say darling, I'm an actor."
*loves Methos*
the episode though, no so much. I forwarded or had the mute on for much of the not-Methos stuff. Just not terribly interesting.
