A very important question: why did no one tell me that Dramatic License is the best Highlander episode ever?? EVER. So far I am eight minutes in, I have never seem Adrian Paul have such fun before, both Amanda and Duncan have dramatically read aloud from a romance novel, and I have already choked half to death on my own laughter about ten times.
I mean, okay, Dramatic License is sort of like The Naked Time in that it's only screamingly hilarious if you already know the characters, but someone should have mentioned it anyway! Only I'm not sure who 'someone' is, because everyone I know who's seen Highlander either saw it because I mentioned it, or is mostly there for Methos, or both. So, okay, possibly I should finish the episode first, but consider this an extremely enthusiastic rec (with perhaps a caveat if you have a really active embarrassment squick? YMMV).
...It would be even more amazing if Methos was in it, though. Universe, why have you not conspired to have Peter Wingfield dramatically read purple prose porn starring Duncan? Not on, universe.

This, so much. And it's worth keeping in mind, too, that the series could alternately be titled Seven Crappy Years in the Life of Duncan MacLeod — a lot of horrible, traumatic stuff happens to him in the series, and we're given to understand that his life had been a lot happier and more peaceful in the preceding decade.

So very, very true. Oh Duncan. I mean, not that other bad things haven't happened to him, but it's relentless during those seven years. (This is one of the reasons I love lots of flashback sequences; I love Duncan being lighthearted and silly.)
Also, I just pictured, a la the scene at the very end of Fight Club, Duncan turning to Methos and saying, "You've met me at a very strange time in my life." I'm not quite sure what to make of how very amused I am by that mental image.
