"The answer is yes. Oh yes."

[xparrot]

So. Can anyone else out there, off the top of their heads, recite the entire car confrontation from that one ep of Highlander?

Or is it just us? Just wondering.

(Mmmmmm, Peter Wingfield...)

I...can't, unfortunately, BUT! I must say I am enjoying Peter Wingfield's turn on 24 this season most thoroughly. :)

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

...That is almost enough to make me want to watch 24!

[sheron]

That makes me want to watch 24.

Is that what you want to hear?

DEATH ON A HOOOOOORSSSE!

I think this is the link for the video of it:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lasBd-Sad4w&feature=PlayList&p=BD603A9FDC7CEA69&playnext=1&index=23

Just realised you weren't asking for it. lol
I love that scene. Methos=soooooooooo hot, but Kronos was better.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's it! ^^ (What worries me is that I have a vid of it, but we recited it fine before watching the vid. We might have rewatched that scene. Um. A lot.)

[ladydey.livejournal.com]

I can recite some of it.. Really what gets it for me is remembering the looks on both their faces. *sigh* Disappointed Love with a dash of Protective calculation that Duncan just can't see because his heart is shattering!!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

I wasn't even into slash then, and that scene still made me sit up and go OH RLY?

[lanning.livejournal.com]

There was a time, when I was a wee fan, when I could recite it. But I am old and senile now. *g* It was because...I liked it. Gawd, he was the hottest orgasmatron on the planet. *sigh*

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

GAH yes. Why do I not have a Methos icon? Such a terrible oversight!

"Death! Death on a horse!"

(coincidentally I was just thinking of rereading your long Methos-torture fic. Mmmm, h/c...)

[ladydey.livejournal.com]

Okay, he totally still is ;-)

But that whole group of episodes were a Highlander high water mark. Of course leading to the actually scene that launched a thousand fics - the notorious "Double Quicken"!!

[elandrialore.livejournal.com]

I used to be able to recite whole pieces of dialogue from that show (my favorites were that scenes, the scene where Methos and Mac talk about the other Methos, and the scene where Methos, Joe, and Mac talk about Hilter) and I might be able to remember with prompting, but it's been ages since I have:) Just remembering their faces kills me though.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Oh, their faces!

(I love that all the HL fans responding here all know exactly which scene I'm talking about! ^^)

[hyoutan.livejournal.com]

It's not just you...Methos is the only reason I've watched Highlander and that speech...*shudders*

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Methos is why we started watching ourselves - had a friend into the show and she wouldn't stop talking about Methos! Of course once we watched we understood why ^^

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Thirteen years ago! I wasn't quite wee but I was very young... ^^

[calime]

Mmmmmmm, my first and forever love :)
...and it wasn't for vengeance,it wasn't for greed...I did it because ... I liked it!
Sweet slashy lovers' quarrel (btw, do you know that PW has himself said that they played the scene like a lovers' breakup?).

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Ahhah, why am I not surprised PW would admit to that? Because yes, it's hard to read it otherwise...

[greyias.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no. But that would be AWESOME^TM. Highlander=♥

That's still one of my all-time favorite episodes, despite its huge lack of Richie. What? I was fourteen.

PW totally has that "Death on a Horse" thing going on 24 right now.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

By certain definitions of AWESOME. Most of them found on lj. I'm lucky to be here, rather than...um...almost any other place, where there would be different words to apply ^^;

Y'all are making me want to see 24 now...

[bagheera-san.livejournal.com]

I can't, but it's been years and then it was in German. And curses, now you've given me my quest for tonight: find and watch Highlander episodes on the net!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

They're not too hard to find!
Methos in German, hmm...was his dub voice anywhere near as sexy as the real deal?

[stillane.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I'd get the recitation right, because frankly my memory is a splotchy, splotchy thing, but I could definitely hit the highlights. *g*

What I love are the outtakes, which emphasize even more that the whole vibe they had going on there was not at all an accident. And you can't even blame it on some random director, because it was Adrian Paul himself behind this one.

Methos in that entire arc just kills me dead, really, with that hunted feel to him, like the world is falling apart every way he turns and he's just trying to triage the damage. Not that Methos eating toast wouldn't kill me dead, mind you. Oh, the Peter Wingfield love, it is strong.

I, uh, might have to go watch it again now. Yum.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Between the two of us gnine and I can still manage the whole thing...we might've missed a few words, but it's still way too easy considering how long it's been since we've seen it!

Heh, AP directed that one? He does Very Good with sexing up PW (...um, not that this is especially a challenge...)

And OH yes, the way Methos is so trapped, keeping his cool up until the point he falls apart. And Duncan is so betrayed and it's killing Methos and Duncan can't see it...mmmm, angst!

[jade-skye.livejournal.com]

lol. YEs, and quite a few episodes of Highlander-I have the whole series.

[valleya.livejournal.com]

Me, too! Spent most of last summer doing HL marathons with my teenage nephew. It was awesome!

[naye]

...I can't! So sad. ;_; But I have a Methos icon to make up for it! *Methoses on you*

[stitcher2ficcer.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry over the fact that my offspring lay claim to such achievements as this. Bad enough that you still can sing the whole presidents song from Animaniacs and at one time--probably still--had the entire script to Empire Strikes Back committed to memory. **Shakes head hopelessly**

[e313.livejournal.com]

yes...ooooh, yes!
i was a kid back then but some things make an impression :) i have the whole show nowdays.
and wait. did i just read in the comments that peter wingfield's on '24'? when? which season? which eps? (damit, i don't like '24' so i'm not keeping an eye on it, but...well, i recently watched a couple of eps of 'sanctuary' cuz he was on it, i'm sure i can stand '24')

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, I'm tempted to check out both 24 and Sanctuary, just for PW! ^^

[sakurazuka-jae.livejournal.com]

Not the exact whole thing, but I could probably manage the gist of it. And the cool thing about that whole scene/storyline was the way it tied in with the stuff Methos had been trying to get through to Macleod previously, such as his denunciation of chivalry: "You live and die by a code that was trendy when you were a kid!"

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes, it's hard to forget the gist of that scene! ^_^

[fashi0n-mistake.livejournal.com]

*blinks* I..have that season on DVD. ..And now I'm going to go watch it.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

It needs much rewatching (yay icon!)

[lukita.livejournal.com]

I don't know a thing about Highlander other than it's about some immortal guy and sword fighting over heads, but I can see the slashy-ness of those two as well. =D

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

The slashiness is hard to miss. And really, you don't need to know anything else about it (except there's swords. Swords are always cool!)

[randompassingninja]

I was the nightmare that kept them awake at night. Is that what you wanted to hear?

Heh, I have that scene, and most of the scenes with Kronos on my ipod to watch at a moments notice.
