![]() ![]() Scotland 1746: Duncan experienced the results of Rosemont's policy change and took revenge. Doesn't make it anywhere near the right thing to do. ![]() Rosemont wanted to save his sons from fighting the same war. England 1746: Steven Keane and the Earl of Rosemont talked about the Earl "making a mark" by slaughtering civilians in order to keep the Scots from rising again. Or did it? Was Amanda wrong about Duncan's state of mind? Or did her meddling with Methos just delay the inevitable long enough for Duncan to get his head around the problem, pun intended? And the many scenes in the Luxembourg Gardens were great. I absolutely loved Amanda barging in on Methos in the middle of the night and enlisting him in her cause (with the extra added bonus of Peter Wingfield answering the door wearing only a pair of boxer shorts and a sword). This strong dramatic episode was effectively lightened by Amanda's frantic attempts to save Duncan from himself. And it was enough to make it believable that Duncan would feel guilty enough to consider letting another immortal kill him. Why don't you try forgiving yourself for once?"īringing in the death of Sean Burns was an inspired plot point, because how could Duncan explain that one away? Killing not one but two of Keane's friends made Duncan look pretty dark. We have love and hate, murder and forgiveness. As Methos so wisely said (he must have been channeling Darius), "We are all both. People change, and even good people make mistakes, especially in war. Duncan went over the line, but only a toe. He didn't have innocents killed, though, as Rosemont did. And Duncan threatened and terrified a child, which was very unlike him. And fortunately, nobody died.Ī long time ago, after Culloden, Duncan deliberately hunted down, challenged and killed a man who had caused the deaths of countless innocents. Evil immortal blows into town, big battle, Duncan takes him out. Interesting twist on the standard Highlander episode. ![]()
