froodleMore Highlander watchery. Duncan and Methos slay me with their cuteness. Have just been watching the episode where Duncan gets Methos to pretend to attack an Immortal called Robert in order to convince Robert's wife Angela that she still loves him. Methos' panicked expression and spazzy run when Angela chases after him with a sword is hilarious, but him tricking Duncan out of the barge and Duncan spitefully going around messing everything up as payback made me laugh so hard, I think most of Yorkshire heard me.
Alan complaining that Duncan sounds too American to make most of the flashbacks seem convincing. Jess didn't realise they were flashbacks, so presumably she just assumed Duncan liked prancing around in period clothing for the hell of it. But hey, who doesn't? I have no opinion, since Duncan + fluffy shirt renders me incapable of coherent thought.
You know who I miss? Xavier St Cloud. I mean, his episodes were kind of boring, but he was great. I'm so glad he still turns up in backstories every now and then.
Apparently Methos studied duelling and medicine at the University of Heidelberg in 1453. Merton planned to major in Paranormal Studies at the same university at the end of Big Wolf on Campus. Yay for bizarre fandomy crossovers!
In other news, today I made some very delicious brownies while listening to Hanson. Have come to the conclusion that Thlayli really does not like Hanson, as he went crazy and managed to leap over the four foot high puppy pen in which he lives, landing on the dining table and hiding behind a pile of old greeting cards. He has no appreciation for excellent 90's pop. I made it up to him by playing Simon and Garfunkel for an hour or so afterwards.

Date: 2005-04-22 09:18 pm (UTC)Highlander series was a kind of "congratulations on finishing your dissertation" gift to myself. My brother and I used to watch it religiously as kids, but I'd all but forgotten it until a couple of months ago. I've seen a couple of the movies, but even that one with Methos and Duncan in couldn't resign me to watching an hour and a half of Christopher Lambert being annoying.

And yeah, Christopher Lambert is more than annoying to me...I don't like to look at him for some reason. He always looks like he's constipated or something.

Date: 2005-04-22 09:48 pm (UTC)I don't see how there can be only one, since even if you killed all the millions of Immortals that exist Right Now, there's all those pre-Immortals noodling around having absolutely no idea what they are.
Christopher Lambert looks like a frog. Seriously. He could be Kenneth Branaugh's even more annoying, even less talented twin brother.
