explain the act of taking off their jackets..to symbolize they won't hide their swords from each other again? I like it. Old fan of this series. Watched in high school. I remember turning the show off during the summer of '97 after Mac killed Richie. I couldn't quickly google, facebook, or read instant viewer responses or reviews..i just said there..shocked. Those were the days.

Hi :D I believe the taking off of the coats/jackets was to show that neither Immortal was carrying a sword and therefore the confrontation was not a physical challenge. Rather it was about answers and it showed a level of trust, especially on Duncan's behalf, although he must have known that Methos was unlikely to challenge him physically.

I miss this show and Methos was not in it enough in my opinion.

*g*

Oh yes. I would have loved to see him in more stories. Who knows - he may be included in the new Highlander movie they are making - or re-making.

I love this scene- Peter Wingfield's eyes and face and voice are so expressive, you can so easily imagine him as Death. I honestly cannot stop watching it over and over.

Best scene in Highlander!

I just love Peter's voice. Just perfect!

And that laugh! Actually scary!

I think methos coulda totally taken duncan if he really had to

I think half of what makes the relationship between those two so interesting is that Methos refuses to follow and won't step up to lead. Mac is such an alpha male/highland chief sort of guy. He sorts the entire world into enemies, people to protect/add to his 'clan', and people to venerate/follow as teachers. Methos is too old and legendary to treat as a subordinate, just won't fall into line, and yet refuses to step up, lead, and let Mac put him on a pedestal (as Mac probably would have.) Ha!

we love this scene. It's our fav.

Is it wrong to love Peter Wingfields' collarbones? Whenever they're shown by one of his overlarge jumpers I just get *tingly*. :)

the whole revelation of being one of the Four Horsemen could have been a complete cheesefest. in someone else's hands, the lines could have been scenery-chewing crap.

but peter wingfield makes this scene unforgettable, and actually believable. kudos to adrian paul for his reactions, too. great stuff.
