Um, no. Methos didn't die in The Source---they left it open-ended. He was last seen riding a horse in the opposite direction of The Source to disctract an angry mob away from Duncan. And having been one the Four Horsemen, we know Methos can handle himself on horse....
I think when Fake Methos started in about living for 5,000 years and not doing anything or risking anything, just surviving (basically what Real Methos has centered his life around), he REALLY got under Real Methos's skin.
I always wanted to see Methos confess he was Methos to the fake Methos and see what would happen between them, but this way is better. It is just my curiousity, I guess : )
@Originalman320 Which is lucky for him indeed. And for Methos too, because it may have given Kronos the idea of finding him, and that would have... oh wait...
Gotta LOVE the casual, matter-of-fact way Methos puts his sword away. Especially concidering how big that thing is compared to him. GREAT! He does it like that in Forgive our Trespasses, too :)
I dont think you find out his name, but apparently he just pretends to be Methos to try get Immortals to stop fighting, but he gets killed anyways lol
LOVE the look on Methos' face when the fake Methos makes that comment about living for 5,000 years without taking any risks would be pointless... Gods, I adore that man
The views of the fake Methos were such naive sounding BS, I doubt he could've been as old as Methos. Not unless the fake spent all his life on holy ground. I mean, even Darius would've rolled his eyes at this guy's banter.
Darius is a big loss to not only Immortals but to mortals as well. Darius is a man with heart and character. There is another Immortal, somewhat like Darius named Sean Burns, sadly Duncan MacLeod took Sean's head while under the influence of a Dark Quickening. Sean Burns was a good friend of MacLeod just like Darius.
I miss Darius too. If he was the only immortal left, the world could've been at peace. His death was a huge blow in MacLeod's life. I was hoping that he would last throughout the series.
This scene with Methos and the impostor is brilliant!!
@LordAzanko according to his bio he was born 4500 bc he was last in highlander the source in which he died in 2007 which would make him 6507 years old
@actionmanrandell damn that sucks that hes dead i liked him the most in the series since all he wanted to do was live he didnt care about the stupid prize....
The flashback in this episode (civil war)usually makes me cry.
As for this scene: at the end-gotta love the cool, matter-of-fact, way that Methos always puts away his sword and also: "Didn't catch your name". "No... you didn't"
I think it was quite funny for real Methos to listen the "wisdom" and beliefs of the false Methos.:D "And if their mothers had loved them truely, then...it would have been a diferent world" pure genius, not only Methos is so sweet, but also intelligent and sarcastic. :D I think he is a kind hearted man, after all.
As far as I am aware, Season 1 of Highlander is available for free download via the official Highlander site on-line. This episode, The Messenger, is from Season 4 and is probably only available via a torrent site.
The fake Methos was trying to bring about peace between immortals, an end to The Game, to the killing. He thought that by pretending to be Methos he would be able to get his message out better, get more people to listen to him.
As for what happens: lets say things get dicey when he tries to step between Mac and an old enemy who used to be a good man until his family was slaughtered and he went crazy.
I like Methos more than the others
He is better than Duncan

I'm flashing between Perlman as fake!Methos and Hellboy and Vincent from that old TV version of Beauty and the Beast.
Who would want to pretend to be real Methos anyway, when it means someone will Hunt him for his Quickening?
