When I watched "Methos" and "Finale" again, I could justify it as reseach for the as yet untitled story that I promised Carol Ann. But "Chivarly" is only research for the sequel to "Watching the Watchers", and I'm not supposed to be working on that until I finish the first story. > I noticed something.

I think they did a really good job of showing Methos's character in "Chivarly" because it significantly changed how I viewed the character, but it fit in with everything that went before well enough that I believed it was true even though I wasn't entirely happy with everything I found out. (I like the character better in his Adam Pierson, mild mannered Watcher mode, which is interesting since it's the fact that Adam is also Methos that attracted me to the character in the first place.)

I first noticed his extreme amount of knowledge, being both the oldest Immortal and amoung the Watchers top scholars. What convinced me to like him was his attitude. It wasn't until later that I realized that most of the things I liked most about Adam's attitude were a result of his being Methos as well. It was after people told me that I was talking too much like I thought Adam snd Methos were different people or a split personality. I decided to try imagining that they were, in fact, different people, and attempted to figure out what they would both be like without the influence of the other side. The result produced two people, neither of which I found all that interesting. That's when I fully realized how truly inseparatable Adam and Methos are.

Sherry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Musegirl1@aol.com Subject: Timeless SPOILERS/ Please Peter, Don't Read This! Date: 03 Feb 1996 14:03:41 -0500 I just saw "Timeless"last night! Hurray! ! ! ! P e t e r W i n g f i e l d i s t o t a l l y a m a z i n g Okay, after much anticipation, I finally got to see it last night. First and foremost, Peter was really exceptional. In spite of the fact that the Adam storyline was very thin, he made the most of every moment of it. His lines and facial expressions were right on through the whole thing. Obviously, he gave it 110%. Secondly, well, he ROCKED! He really let the sweetness of this character show through (no doubt traits that he has himself). I am reminded of a quote I saw once about the actor Ian McKellen, who for all of his genius, has never become a household word like Gielgud or Olivier. Someone said that Sir Ian would never be great because he personally lacked tenderness and was, therefore, unable to play that emotion. Consequently, audiences can really never relate to him fully. That's why he shines when he's playing a creep like Richard III. Anyway, it struck me during the episode that Peter was really revealing the tender qualities of this character. I mean, who wouldn't die just to have a man look at them the way that Adam looks at Alexa? (With either eye!) He constantly astonishes me with the increasing warmth and complexity he brings to this character. On the adorable scale, Peter manages about a 5000 in this one. Totally gorgeous. The hair's still too short for my liking, but I'm growing used to it. I'm also looking forward to the Paris episodes so he can get some better wardrobe, but in the meantime, the sweaters are okay and the jeans....well, we better not go there :) The episode itself. Eh. Okay. The Duncan/Claudia/Walter thing was kind of interesting. I thought the flashbacks were cute. I liked the idea of Duncan wanting a woman who wasn't the least bit interested in him. But the Adam/Alexa story had my full attention. Big Question. Somebody PLEASE tell me what attracted Adam to that woman?! I mean, she was pleasant looking and all, and sort of sweet in a "doe in headlights"kind of way, but geez....what a dishrag! There just didn't seem to be enough there for a 5000 year old soul like Methos to go nuts over. If only they had added just a bit...perhaps him observing her exchanging witty comments with Joe, or interacting with another customer, being kind ot animals or children. Something! I mean, by the big ending they have know each other for about 3 days! (Not that I wouldn't drop everything for a guy like him). Consequentially, Adam(Peter) had to do all of the work to make this potential relationship look viable. Lots of overtime was put in here. There were many fabulously "cute" and witty lines to drool over...And simply the thought of him sitting out in the rain, listening to music all by himself because he finds out the woman he wants is dying...oh my God! It kills me. l'd also love to get a still of his face when he was talking to Joe across the bar. God Bless Duane Clark (the director) for showing him so well...All in all, this episode made me very proud to be a member of the PWFC. An excellent perfomance by our man...

How many people in the club have access both to sattelite transmissions and a way to copy tapes? We can't expect Linda to send out 70+ copies of all the Methos episodes and tape trees are slower than actually waiting for the episode to air for all but the first couple of layers. But if we had several such people and they sent out tapes to those of us who normally would see it last, we could move the timetable up at least. For that matter, we should probably do a servey as to when everyone here sees Highlander anyway. I know that there are people that won't see "Timeless" until the 10th, but if none of them are on this list we don't really have to wait for them, do we?

There could have been something that occured before that first scene in the bar, but they still should have shown it on camera. Speaking of the first scene, does anyone here really believe that Adam had never heard of baseball before? I know they didn't play baseball 5000 years ago, but he hasn't exactly been living in a hole since then.

However, I have trouble accepting this premise. I'd expect Adam to be scared by the concept of falling in love with someone. The survivalist aspect of Methos knows that caring about another person more than youself can be an extreme liability in the wrong circumstances. And Adam is trying to live a double life as both Watcher and Immortal, but he's keeping both of those secret from Alexa. In many ways it's very convienent for him that Alexa has such a short time to live, since it greatly reduces the likelyhood of these causing problems for him. > l'd also love to get a still of his face when he was talking to Joe across > the bar.

As television characters they almost innately have something interesting happening in their lives during every episode they appear in. I certainly see Adam in more intimate moments than I see the people at work or the friend I sit next to on the bus. Could you please try to remember to send list mail to the list?

One of my roommates was reading a book on writing last night and was talking to us about cardboard characters. Somehow neither she nor my other roommate seemed to notice that Alexa was a perfect example. Sigh. At least I convinced them to sort of watch it, even if they weren't keeping their full attention on the screen. > >Speaking of the first scene, does anyone here really believe that > >Adam had never heard of baseball before?

I really liked the fact that he was trying to convince the mortal Watchers to computerize. The stereotypical Immortal seems to be highly resistant to change and new things of any type. I've always enjoyed the fact that the oldest Immortal doesn't seem to fit any of the Immortal stereotypes. The only problem I have with this is that I'm constantly trying to contrast Methos against the stereotypically 5000 year old Immortal which doesn't work. You can't really stereotype a group of one, even if the sole mem ber actually fits the stereotype, which Methos doesn't.

Is there anyone who didn't fall in love with him all over again with, "The alternative is unthinkable"? Sigh. I melted all over my chair. I do have to second the opinion of whoever wondered what on earth Adam saw in Alexa. My immediate impression (that was never changed) was *mousy*. I certainly didn't see anything special about her. However, I'm willing to cut my favorite Immortal a little slack and trust that he's been around long enough to trust his own judgment on whether or not a woman is special. And I agree that her excuse for not going out with him was pretty feeble. I loved his reaction, though, when she said that now he should see why going out tomorrow night was not a good idea and he responded with something like, "Right. Better make it tonight." There I went again, instant puddle. I WANT THIS MAN!!! Send him to me. I can do mousy. Really, I can! I felt so sorry for him as he and Alexa were leaving. "It's not long enough." "It never is."

That was the only scene in this episode where the Methos side of the character leaked through. The tone of voice and facial expression definately belonged to Methos, not Adam. Another thing I noticed was that they never gave him a proper introduction. In some ways it was kind of amusing that he managed to make it through an entire episode with being called Methos, but they also failed to mention that he was a Watcher. While he did have his tattoo on, it was so faint that it's unlikely that anyone not specifically looking for it would notice. But I suppose that his being an Immortal who is known by most people as Adam Pierson is all that was essential that someone unfamiliar with the character needed to know, so that's all they bothered to include. > Well, I'm going to go watch it again (for the fourth time). > > Beth B. I've only seen it three times. You people make me feel so inadequate. While on the other hand, my roommate keeps telling me I'm obsessed, and he doesn't know that I've seen it more than once. Sigh.

After watching it three times, I am certain that Adam had been watching Alexa for some time before their first scene opened. Presumably the reason Joe was under the impression that Adam didn't know what baseball was was because Adam hadn't heard a word he said all evening. For that matter, Adam may have intentionally given Joe that impression because he wanted Joe to babble on about something he didn't have to listen to. > And I agree that her excuse for not going out with him was pretty feeble. > I loved his reaction, though, when she said that now he should see why > going out tomorrow night was not a good idea and he responded with > something like, "Right.

Is there anyone on this list who if she knew what it was that attracted Adam to Alexa wouldn't try using it on him, at least in her fantasies? I know that I'd try it at least once, and all I'm really after is his friendship. > I felt so sorry for him as he and Alexa were leaving. "It's not long > enough." "It never is." I just wanted to cry for both him and Duncan. > You could just see the pain. Here's a question for everyone on the list. If you had a cure for whatever it is that Alexa had, would you give it to her? Why or why not? (I wish I knew what she did have. It's one of the most obvious places they're lacking.) I personally don't see anything about Alexa worth saving, but Adam obviously does and I want him to be happy. What I would do is offer Adam the cure on the condition that he tells Alexa what's going on. One reason for this is because I happen to agree with what Duncan told Richie in "Line of Fire" that it isn't fair to your mortal significant other to get seriously involved in a long term relationship with them and not explain. The other is that not just anybody is going to have a friend who is a strange being from another dimension that has a miracle cure to fatal diseases, and if Alexa really is worthy of Adam' attentions then she's intelligent enough to realize this. > Ok, enough about Methos! :) (yeah, right!)

My roommate said that he couldn't see Duncan doing Shakespeare, but I think it fits in perfectly with his learning to read English from MacBeth 5 years ago in the "Song of the Executioner" flashback and mumbling indistict things about Shakespeare 6 years later at the begining of the "Chivalry" flashback. > Of course, as far as I'm concerned, you could have lost Rae Dawn Chong > from the whole episode.

I agree that Claudia was a bit of a snob, but I wouldn't go so far as to remove her from the episode. (Well, I would, but only because removing the plot would give the time needed to develop the subplot properly, so they would have been able to give Alexa enough of a personality that we'd understand why Adam fell for her.)

Beth A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SherryM105@aol.com Subject: Re: Timeless (Spoilers) Date: 06 Feb 1996 10:31:33 -0500 G u e s s I s h o u l d p u t s p o i l e r s o n i t I've been reading the comments about "Timeless" for days, and finally decided to offer my opinion. To me, this was an episode about ideas, not about character. It used Duncan, Methos and the characters introduced for the show to discuss questions about the nature of genius, about courage, life, death, time and what we do with that portion that is allotted to us whether we are Mortal or Immortal. The structure of the show seemed very Shakespearean, and I'm sure that was on purpose given the variety of quotes from the Bard that were used: that is, the smaller scenes with Methos commented on the larger scenes with Duncan, Walter and the pianist. I thought they did pretty well with these subjects considering they had only about 45 minutes. As usual, I want to see the 4 minutes that were cut out. I've read comments from several of you that you found Alexi mousie, that you couldn't imagine what Methos saw in her, that you felt it was a fault that we didn't know what disease was killing her. I believe the nature of the disease was unimportant. To me Alexi was lovely even if she wasn't a genius, brilliant, stunningly beautiful. I suspect what Methos may have seen was invisible to most of the audience (especially if they want Methos for themselves), an intrinsic quality in her that struck a responsive chord in him. I think it went far beyond a desire to take her into his bed. Would I cure her if I could? Absolutely, and not just because I want Methos to be happy, but because I can't imagine allowing someone to die slowly, painfully and prematurely if I had the knowledge to prevent it. What I loved about Methos in this episode was that he was so obviously willing to accept the pain of entering into a relationship where the outcome was already known. He chose to try to make whatever time she has as perfect as possible and will, I believe, stay with her until the end. What he offered was a wonderful gift, one that was given at no small cost to himself. For me the story was symbolic and displayed yet another quality in Methos I would like to cultivate in myself. It gave me a lot to think about.

Methos is a wonderful and caring person and I'm sure that he will stay with Alexa to the bitter end, but these are qualities he would bring to any relationship. Alexa may be dying sooner and more painfully than most, but to him all mortals are dying. Immortals are sturdier, but he still outlives them. I think that one of the reasons Methos reacted the way he did towards what he percieved as Duncan being naive was because Duncan is probably the only person Methos knows that he expects to have a chance to be around as long as Methos expects to be himself.

He might die tomorrow. I'm going to post more on the following subject to Highla-L... but why has everyone focused on what Alexa is getting out of this? How she will have the time of her life, and he is the white knight who saves her? Why hasn't anyone noticed what *he* is getting out of the deal? He needs her as much as she needs him, if not more. He needs someone who will treat him as a person, as a *man*, instead of as either a Watcher or an immortal. For at least the last ten years, he has had to hide part of himself from everyone he knows. With her, if he decides not to tell her (which is what I think we all expect him to do), he can be truly "just a guy" for once. They both really need to feel loved right now, for who they are, instead of just for their circumstances. And maybe he even needs the pain of losing her. Feeling pain is sometimes better than feeling nothing. Perhaps he will regain the passion, the fire, and even the hatred- of things that are unfair, and cruel- that he needs to go on. I think Alexa will give him far more than she will ever know. I think she will give him back his life.

If I only knew a guy for a couple of days and then he proposes to take me around the world I'd be nuts to go with him. Also, I agree with the person (Linda I think) who said Methos is getting something from the relationship too. Showing the things you love to another person who appreciates them in the same way is incredibly rewarding. I wanted to mention something else. During the scene on the porch, Alexa asks Methos if he ever wished that time could stand still. His expression to that was *so* heart wrenching. It was appropriate that he didn't answer that question, the look said it all. I just love the way Peter's nonverbal actions carry through such feeling.

Nothing about what Peter thinks. He asks to pass on Peter's thanks and gratitude for the Christmas cards, and says that "Juliet was apparently amazed at how many new friends they seemed to have aquired during the year as the number of cards they got this Christmas was double what they had last!". Heh heh... wait until next year! :-) That was on short notice. Calvin thinks Peter will be happy to answer questions for the newsletter, so the first batch will be in the mail tomorrow. And- we have a project coming up! I'm really excited about this, although I can't explain why. Peter will be running in the London Marathon on April 21st, and will be collecting sponsors to raise money for "some deserving cause". Calvin will be asking Peter if he would like us to participate. Well, I want to!!! When I hear the details, I'll let you all know, but I'm betting that we'll be doing this, so start saving your pennies. And, I'm also going to start looking into seeing what tv coverage might be available of the event. I know we would probably be limited to a few seconds of Peter, but a few seconds beats no seconds hands down.

I think you missed my earlier post where I asked if people would save Alexa if they could and gave my own answer. Basically what I said was that I'd tell Adam that I had a miracle cure that I could give to Alexa, but he'd have to explain to her what was going on because I didn't think it would work otherwise. > > Methos is a wonderful and caring person and I'm sure that he will > > stay with Alexa to the bitter end, but these are qualities he would > > bring to any relationship.

I think that it's been considerably longer than a decade since Methos last knew anyone he kept no secrets from whatsoever. Someone he could confide in completely and be totally himself with would be a very special person, but she couldn't make him feel normal. I think that you may be right that one of the things he wants from Alexa is the chance to feel normal and get away from Watchers and Immortals alike for a few months. > And maybe he even needs the pain of losing her.

Now he was commenting on the discussion about why all the creative geniuses were mortal, but this also can apply to relationships. If Adam is trying to get back his fire and passion then what he needs right now is a short intense relationship, not a gentle enduring one. Which makes me wonder if one of the things that attracted him to her was that on some subconscious level he could tell that she was dying.

No, we are not official. I'm not sure we're ready to be. This is something I have thought about a lot. In general, from what I've seen, 'official' implies getting information directly from the celebrity, which we do. But I think the real difference is that 'official' clubs seem to *represent* the celebrity in some way, and that we don't. Another thing official can mean is a way to distiguish the original club from later clubs. We *are* the first. It may happen. Peter is thinking about it. For now, he wants us to be an informal club. It's his call. But I wouldn't worry about another club somehow becoming the official one while we're not. So for now, we are: The Informal, sometimes bordering on a bit too familiar, Peter Wingfield Fan Club.

By the end of his second line she says "I'm on the floor," and proceeds to slide off the couch into the floor to get a little closer to the TV. She was funny - she kept repeating the line "The alternative is unthinkable." She thanked me later for introducing her to Adam/Methos/Peter, she was so glad she had "met" him because "The alternative is unthinkable." One by one, we will conquer the world! :) Beth A.

I would like to know something about the differences between acting on film and on radio. I would like to know what he likes best about Methos. I would like to know what about acting he finds to be the most interesting or most challenging. And, I would like to know (but would probably not ask and would certainly not expect an answer) what Juliet thinks about him having a fan club. I'd like to know if he has any input into the way the Methos character is being developed. Okay, I thought of another one. I really enjoyed his sparring match with Duncan in Chivalry. I'd like him to tell us about the style of sword fighting he's using for the series and how it differs from what he learned for stage. The impression I have is that he learned stage fencing with a rapier, but that as Methos he's using a different style involving two hands. Hmmm, questions for Peter: I wonder what he thinks of the difference between working on the British vice Canadian/French productions. Is there a difference, and if so in what way? And, I also admit to being curious about fan reactions to his work in Britian? It's hard to believe he hasn't generated at least some enthusiasm at home. What I was wondering was how Peter approaches them. Does he consider Adam and Methos to be the same character or does he think of it as playing two different characters? What was the audition for Highlander like? What did he know about the show before he got the part? What does he think of it now? Is it what he expected, or is it different? Someone at the chat last night said they would be interested in knowing whether Peter consciously thinks about the body language he is using. I'd like to know this too. I'd like to know if he makes any concious decisions about what style to use or if he just does what comes naturally. 1. Which does he prefer, acting for the stage or television? 2. When/how did he decide that he wanted to become an actor? 3. Does he have anyone who's work he admires...say sports figures or other actors? 4. What role is he dying to play? 5. And finally a silly one: What kind of music is Adam listening to on that walkman?! My question is Boxers or Briefs????? (What do you all think?

The reruns I can watch at any time and the episodes without Methos I'm willing to wait for. Unfortunately, my boss wouldn't give me the day off so I could fly to New York today. In fact, he won't even give me the 24th off. (Like I'm going to be able to form coherent thoughts about tax returns less than 8 hours before "Deliverance" airs locally.) But there's no way he's going to make me stay later than the 4:27 bus, and I'll probably leave before then. (Highlander airs at 5:00 Saturdays on my local station.)

I've been thinking about this gift thing myself. I think the boxer shorts idea is cute...as long as it's only one pair and it's just a gag. (I can, by the way, procure boxer shorts with a variety of Maryland themes to commemorate a visit to Baltimore, if anyone is interested. These themes include the state flag, which is gold, red & black and pretty loud, and crabs.) As much as I like the idea of lots of individual gifts, I think it would be best if we try to do something condensed, and then let everyone who wants to give him a token from themselves, go ahead. Afterall, he does have to lug this stuff home, through customs, etc.and we should consider that. I was thinking more along the lines of a super-nice volume of Shakespeare, or another book, perhaps a medieval theme, inscribed to him from the club. Or maybe we could think of something an actor would need/use. Any ideas?

I think this is a great thought, Anessa! I don't have any idea how diverse the group is, either, but if sounds like a way to provide him with a number of unique items from his fans. The hard part is that it would mean lots of people buying him gifts instead of contributing to one gift. That might not be possible for everyone. I will happily contribute to either procedure, even if I have to ask you to present it for me!

Had another idea about this: even if we end up giving him one gift together, what about supplying him with a map (a small one) in which the States where he has fan club members are shaded in?

I'm going to get to meet him! My roommates, of course, don't really understand why I even care. But I get to meet Peter Wingfield! Can we invite him to the PWFC con party now? I realize that we don't know when it's going to be yet, but I'm afraid that if we wait until we get to the con to ask, he might not come. So can we let him know that we're planning a club party and would be honored if he could make it, but can't fix a day and time until we know the schedule because we don't want to conflict with any of his public appearances or any videos that he is in being shown. Besides, letting him know about the party before we schedule it before inviting him it enables him to warn us about things that won't be on the official schedule like when he's likely to be sleeping. Remember that if he has to fly over from England for this, there's a five hour time difference. I know that right after I got back from Europe I was going to bed early and waking up at 4 in the morning and I'm normally a night person. I don't know what Peter is, but it could only be worse for a morning person.

Peter will know about all our plans practically as soon as we do. Beyond that, it's too early to know anything. I'll keep everyone as informed as possible about what is going on, but don't expect to know many details, if any, before the con. Anyone who has ideas about what you'd like to do as a club, please share them while we still have planning time. I would like for us to be obviously having the best time of anyone there. I'm going to be working on the shirts, and will have them before the con. The logo is now (or will be in a few minutes, so if it's not there when you check, check back later) on a web page!!! http://www.lightlink.com/hilinda/pwfc DISCLAIMER: there are still some problems with the scan, but this is good enough that you get the idea. The real artwork is much better, so don't worry about that. We have a graphically talented member who has volunteered to clean up the scan for us, and as soon as that is done, we'll post the new one. Go look, and get back to me or here with comments. This isn't necessarily final, but I like it. The latest t-shirt plan is henley, gold on black. Hats, too. Hat probably without the second line of words. PWFC SyndiCon theme: "5000 years of fun in three days!" Please let me know if you will be there. I want to keep a list because we will be having some goodies for members, and we need to know how many. Probably we'll be able to make up kits of goodies for non-attending members, but you'll have to pay shipping at least. And if I don't have your full name and address, I'd like that, too. Helps to keep track of stuff like the Archers tapes, if you're going to the con, or if you're going to want one of the goody packets. Oh yeah- I joined the Archers Addicts fan club. I haven't gotten stuff back from them yet, but there should be ordering info for Archers goodies. I would love for as many people as possible to have Archers shirts in Baltimore, so I'll be sharing the ordering info when I get it, and also may compile an order so only one of us has to get currency exchanged.

Maybe, but it's going to have to be a BIG nametag, because I already need to write e-mail addresses, IRC nick, etc on it, so people know who I am. We could, however, make buttons that say that.

Date: 20 Feb 1996 19:30:34 -0500 I got my Archers Addict package today!! It includes a lapel pin that says "Archers Addicts" and you know I'll be wearing that in Baltimore! It also includes an order form for Archers goodies, *AND* they take credit cards, which makes life a *lot* easier. The most pertinent item is a sweathsirt that says "The Bull" and "Ambridge" on it, so anyone who is interested in getting one, let me know and we'll figure out how to work it. I can't tell you how much they cost because I don't know. There is an amount in pounds, but I have no idea what the shipping will be. There's a newsletter, and in it they have a whole bunch of "Christmas Cards" that the different actors guess their character might send to someone. Peter's character Simon sends a card to his father, Guy. There is a picture of Peter, and it's one I haven't seen before, and he's wearing...... a really nice cable knit sweater. Looks right at home in it, too. :-) So- if you want to become a member of the Addicts, or if you want a Bull sweatshirt, let me know. Oh- the newsletter also mentions an Archers road show, where it is performed live, and different activities where you can go and meet cast members, and boy, does that drive me nuts!!!

It takes a month, at least, for delivery, so we need to do this as soon as possible if we want to be sure to have stuff for Baltimore. I don't know if I have a pound sign, so remember all prices are in pounds. And it is about 1 1/2 dollars to the pound. I won't know the shipping charges until the stuff comes, so we'll have to work that out. The Bull sweatshirt M, L, XL 17.50 It look sblack, but coud be navy. White print of "The Bull", a bull's head, and "Ambridge" underneath. The Bull is the main pub in Ambridge, where the Archers takes place. Simon's father is half owner.

They aren't real cards. It's a two page spread with a small picture of the character, with notes on what they would say in a card and to whom, and then a short note on how the actor will really be spending Christmas. The newsletter, and all the other stuff I got (Membership card, enameled lapel pin, Who's Who booklet, merchandise catalog) is only available by joining the club. Joining the Addicts, with a $5 fee for currency conversion, cost me roughly $35. That's a bit much to pay if all you want is the small picture and short quote from Peter. I'm hoping that by ordering the Archers stuff with a credit card, we might avoid currency conversion charges at all. At the very least, we only pay once. You can become an Addict with this order to save that conversion fee, too. Membership is GB 19.50 which is about $30/yr. Renewals are cheaper by about a third.

First off, getting the Captain's wife drunk and seducing her was bad enough, but what he said afterwards. "You were pretty good, maybe I'll be back tonight." What a complete shit! (oops, violated the communications decency act there ). When she shot him I was really glad. As Methos said to him later, "I think you got what you deserved", and he was right! Poor Methos! For all those Methos haters out there (Wendy), we get to see Duncan knock him ass-over-teakettle not once, not twice, but three times, as well as pop him a good one. Methos is not his usual assured self in this one, at least not for long. He looks real panicky with Duncan's sword at his neck, especially since they are in a church at the time! See evil Duncan molest another woman! See evil Duncan steal a Mercedes! See evil Duncan run a stop sign (a sure indication that he's over the edge )! And the whole scene with poor, doomed Sean. The look of total disgust on Methos' face as evil Duncan beheads his good friend. Excellent! And am I the only one who thought Methos was getting zapped with stray bolts from that quickening? He was awful close. Seeing Darius' vision (or ghost) at the church sent shivers down my spine. My, I miss him! Then when Methos is taking Duncan to the "holy spring", he get's his cocky attitude back, which causes Duncan to pop him one (again!). Poor Methos, he really took a beating in this ep. And where did he pull the clan MacLeod sword from? Do I smell Rachel MacLeod in the eurominutes? I'm still trying to decide how I liked the ending, watching good Duncan and evil Duncan swordfight it out for Duncan's soul, although I really liked the "soothing shower" quickening thing at the end. ::sigh:: All in all, a great ep.

Maria piped up from the back seat. The Archers I've heard of them. It turns out that Maria is a big fan of anything Brittish and has read in several magazines about the Archers, although she has never heard them. She is going to try and find some of the articles for me. The articles have been appearing in i think she said Brittish Life or Brittish Heritage Magazine. I'll talk to her again and get the exact title of the mag. in case it can befound on the newstand. I know Maria said the person she gets it from has a subscription to it so i'm not sure.

No, the Archers is not broadcast here, and is not likely ever to be if you believe the BBC. However, we have a very, very wonderful person who sends me tapes, and we've started tape trees (like phone trees, only different) tpo be able to share the tapes. If you want to get in on it, a new one is about to go out. Send me your name, address, and whether you can make copies of audio tapes easily. (Anyone else?

All it says in the newsletter about the cruise is that it was in the previous issue, and there is a phone number to call. I'm tempted to get the issue, but why torture myself? Actually, I'm probably going to get back issues for the last year, to see if Peter is featured in any of them, which he might have been when he joined the cast.

Now, since we're all obviously the e-mailing type, I thought people would like to know about that. Unfortunately, when I clicked on Peter's e-mail form, what I got was kind of messed up, but they're trying. The point of this is that apparently we can e-mail Peter now. No, it doesn't go directly to him, it goes to Rysher, but still.

About that church scene. The only thing I see preventing Duncan from killing Methos there is the fact that Methos keeps repeating, "You can't kill me, we're on Holy Ground," over and over until Duncan listens to him. The scene actual seems to fit in well with my theories as to how Holy Ground works. > And the whole scene with poor, doomed Sean. The look of total disgust on > Methos' face as evil Duncan beheads his good friend. Excellent! And am I > the only one who thought Methos was getting zapped with stray bolts from > that quickening? He was awful close. I feel sorry for Sean. When Duncan told Methos that he couldn't interfere, I wanted to point out that this wasn't a duel, it was an execution, so the rule about not interfering in a duel shouldn't apply. But I think Methos was hanging back as much because he was hoping that Sean could talk Duncan out of it than because he was worried about breaking the rules. I agree that it looks like Methos gets hit by a stray bolt or two. Since Methos later uses Sean as a way to convince Duncan that he can still be saved, I wonder if saving Sean from Duncan would eventually lead to Methos being unable to save Duncan from himself. > Seeing Darius' vision (or ghost) at the church sent shivers down my spine. > My, I miss him!

SPOILERS HO! 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Here's a brief synopsis of the final scene of the Tag, which comes right after the scene where MacLeod and Methos walk toward the barge: MacLeod and Methos enter the barge to find Rachel MacLeod attempting to pick up the mess that MacLeod left when he trashed the place. She explains to MacLeod that his friend Adam, "a convincing lad," had told her MacLeod was in trouble and needed the sword, so she gave it to him. Then she thought about how MacLeod had saved her and her people when Glenfinnan was in danger, so she came to help. MacLeod explains that he's no longer in trouble and, looking disappointed, Rachel prepares to go back home. MacLeod invites her to stay and she accepts. "Adam" notes that he has to run, he's left Alexa in Athens and needs to get back to her. MacLeod thanks "Adam" for his help and "Adam" says it was nothing, and leaves. Rachel remarks what a good friend "Adam" seems to be, and MacLeod agrees that he's one of the best. Fade out. The End. Donna also noted that the reason it turned from day to night when Sean was beheaded was that it took that long to film - blame it on short winter days in France. Hmm, well that answers a lot of questions for me, although one wonders how a dying woman (Alexa) feels about being abandoned in Athens of all places while her traveling companion/boyfriend rushes to Paris for unspecified emergency business. And I wonder if she'll still be alive (and mentioned) in ep #16? Food for thought.

The big thing I want is to try to schedule our party at a time when we can convince Peter to come to it, but we can't really plan that now. It did occur to me that even though we aren't an "official fanclub" in the sense of being able speak for Peter , we are a real organization. We have a membership list and a newsletter and plan activities and collect dues. (At least from some members. Linda - how may non-Internet members do we have now?) The people running Syndicon might take an organization more seriously than an individual or even a group of random individuals. Maybe we could convince them to let us borrow the Euro-versions of all the Methos episodes and any non-Highlander stuff Peter has done that they might have brought with them so that we can have additional showings of them beyond what there is time for in the video room. This would increase the chances that we would be able to see everything without having scheduling conflicts.

The people running SyndiCon take us plenty seriously, and I'm working directly with them to make some things happen.

The HL PTB provide euro eps to SyndiCon, so we'd have to talk to them. As far as I am aware, no one in the US has more of Peter's stuff than we do. We'd also have to arrange to get a VCR and screen. > so that we can have additional showings of them beyond what > there is time for in the video room.

In addition to our party, there are Q&A sessions, autograph sessions, lotsa demonstration type things, etc. I'm just hoping we get Peter to find room in his schedule for our party, and that it doesn't get scheduled opposite Adrian's Q&A. If we can manage that, I think we'll be doing well. We're working on getting tapes of Over Here, and some of The Men's Room, and if we get those, I bet people would rather see them than euro versions of HL eps. Trying to see everything will be impossible; there just aren't enough hours. I really don't want to jump the gun and announce anything before it's definite, but be reassured that this group will hear everything as soon as it is possible to do so. There are still over two months before the Con, and lots of planning to do.

My 4 yr old son really likes watching Highlander, He saw AP's murder she wrote episode and asked what highlander was doing and where was richie? Through Deliverance he kept asking why highlander was bad and when he was going to get good. Now he has upon occasion worn a jade pendant that i have on a piece of cording. This morning before pre-school i gave it to him to put on, my comment was that he could be like Methos and wear it under his shirt like Methos does. After reminding him who Methos was he liked the idea and still has the jade pendent on now. On the way home he told me he wanted to go home and watch Highlander, the ones with Methos.

The party planning is happening more directly than that, but that's all I can say for now. It isn't when he's arriving and leaving that we need to kmnow, anyway, it's what his other time commitments are, like when his Q&A is, and when he will be signing autographs.

There are other Americans who post to the newsgroup. Lots of other people who learned about the Archers one way or another, and get tapes from a friend like we do. World Service Radio believes that only ex-patriot Brits would be interested in The Archers, or even able to make sense of it. Should we write to them? They aren't going to change their minds and start broadcasting the Archers, but still, maybe they should know how ethno-centric they're being.

I agree with Sharon, I would never have started to listen if it hadn't been for Peter but now I'm hooked on the show. I think they need to hear that because of Peter they have gained a new Audience for the show that has gone from listening for just Peter to liking the show in General.

I seem to recall a recent umra post from a fan in Germany, who said that they gave him the same arguement, i.e. no one would be able to relate to it unless they'd spent considerable time in Britain and could understand the culture. I've spent a grand total of a week in GB, and I get it.

Ah, here it is: Thank you for your message which has been passed to me. The Archers is not broadcast on World Service, and is unlikely to be in the foreseeable future, I am afraid. We know that there are many people who would like to hear it, especially expatriate British listeners, but we have a very full schedule and no space for a serial which, to be honest, would only appeal to a minority of our audience (most listeners are not British and most people who hear our programmes do not have a full enough appreciation of life in the UK to follow the story). ***************************** Except I was also given this: The correct address for general correspondence with BBC World Service is worldservice.letters@bbc.co.uk They aren't going to be really thrilled about hearing from us, but we can certainly tell them that we're not ex-patriots, or have much real knowledge of life in the UK, yet we appreciate it enough that we're all hooked. So, if you write: emphasize that we're hooked, and that we would really love to be able to hear it directly (no need to mention how we do hear it), and that we do not fit the description given as necessary to appreciate it. Tell them how you came to start listening, and how hard we looked for a broadcast source, only to be disappointed not to find one. You could also mention that Americans, as a rule, are fascinated by all things British- maybe they don't realize this? And maybe we could work on trying from this end- write to public radio and see if they can be convinced to buy it. I think it would be a big hit!

I admit that until I hear the tapes, I won't be able to decide to become a fan of the Archers, or even that it's worth getting the second batch of tapes. But I do know that if it weren't for Peter, I'd never even consider listening to a radio soap, since in general I don't particularly care for either radio shows or soap operas.
