There can be only one!
So, I'm up to Highlander 1x18 (... I think?) and, aside from a certain amount of giggling at the cheese (HAHAHA KILLER MIMES WTF), my reaction basically consists of wanting to draw little hearts around all the characters. Especially ♥ ♥ ♥ Duncan ♥ ♥ ♥. (See?)
I JUST LOVE EVERYBODY. Particularly Duncan, who really could not be more adorable. I love his snarkasm and his little grins; he just seems kind of adorably bemused at the fact that he lives in a world of brooding crazy people with swords who all want to kill him. And yet, so badass. I also like the clothes he wears. Actually, I kind of just enjoy staring at him a lot. :D :D
And TESSA! I love her so much! I'm trying not to get too attached -- as noted in my last Highlander post, I rather suspect she doesn't survive the show; NO SPOILERS THOUGH, GUYS, I MEAN IT -- but she's so awesome and so adorable with Duncan. I love how she's got her own life and her own career, and they even show it -- rather than just telling us that she's an artist, we always see her sketching and sculpting and having shows, and they even moved to another continent for her career! ♥ (And now Duncan is a kept man. And is totally fine with it. Awwww. ♥)
Richie and Darius sort of stole my heart slowly, rather than making me squee and flail immediately like Duncan and Tessa. Also, I'm kind of aware that getting too attached to Darius is probably not a good idea. But awww, Duncan and his little mortal family, and all his friends ...! They're good at making me like people on this show. Also, I quite enjoy their casting department's fondness for tall, dark guys with high cheekbones. *g*
And considering that the show was made in 1992, I think it's kind of awesome how up-to-date their technology is! They have cell phones! And laptops! And Internet! I thought I remembered TV taking a lot longer than this to catch onto the world's changing technology. *pats show*
Once again, no major spoilers, please! Sadly I will be running off to the Internetless (and Netflix-less) wilds of Alaska tomorrow, so no more Highlander for a week and a half. *is sad*

I've seen most of the series back when it was on TV, and I've got season 1 on DVD. I really need to get the rest :D Maybe after I'm done with Farscape and CSI, I've only got a few sets to go.

I am told that Peter Wingfield doesn't show up 'til season 3, though, so if he's the reason why you'd be watching, maybe check IMDB for his episodes and start with those? I like being surprised, so I don't want to know in any great detail which episodes are his or what happens in them - I'm really enjoying being mostly-unspoiled so far! - but so many people have seen this show that you could probably find someone on your flist who could tell you which are good Methos episodes and start with them, and then go back and watch the early seasons of Highlander if you like those? (Kinda like I did with Sanctuary - I started with all the Tesla eps and worked backwards!) I, er, don't really want the conversation to happen in my comments, though, because I don't want specific spoilers about stuff that happens later in the series. But if you PM

Liver Action RPG!
About a bazillion years ago, on alt.tv.highlander, there was this very bright young man who called himself Dayspring. One day someone typoed a request to the group, and asked if anyone had the rules for the HL "Liver Action" RPG.
This is what happened. link to original post via Google Groups (http://bit.ly/fj7rg2)

They's gone. The Archives. The Author pages like Ladonna King. I went to check out MacGeorge's webpage and was blocked becuase of detected viruses. I'm almost afraid to look for Sylvia Volk's pages.
I have a lot of hardcopies, but that doesn't help you.

Have you tried the Wayback Machine? It can be tricky to navigate, but sometimes I've been able to use it to find long-vanished websites.

I recall that Ladonna Kings had some seriously creepy and engrossing Kronos fic. Do you have them?
no subject
I think so. Where should I send them?

My email is misssheron at inbox dot com...if you'd care to help me out I'd be very grateful!

MacGeorge has an LJ,
ETA: Sorry for the edits, but are you sure the HL Archive is gone? Are you talking about this site (http://hlfiction.net/)? Maybe you just have an old URL.
no subject
Man, Volk's fic. Wonderful.
HL Archive? Thanks for the link *g*. It was the seventh dimension one that I couldn't find along with a bunch of authors. Gosh, it was depressing. I've been trawling around most of the day. But somehow I ended up in Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon fanfic.

(but it's not especially spoilery to say that Methos has veeeery nice cheekbones. I believe it's a Welsh feature...at least there's several Welsh actors who have 'em. But Peter Wingfield especially~)

(I love Amanda, too - didn't recall she was in s1, but saw you mentioning her elsewhere, and yeah, Amanda is <3)

I'd worry that the Methos-hype is too much and you might be let down, but I'd heard from everyone how awesome Spike was and he didn't disappoint, so I'll bet on fangirl bait XD

Duncan was easy on the eyes, I adored Tessa (and her relationships with both Duncan and Richie), I loved Richie's relationship with Duncan, and since you mentioned Methos, I adored him as well.
Have fun watching!
