Good guys going temporarily evil is always one of my major fiction kinks
Oh, mine too, mine too! :D (Actually, after watching this episode I was quietly cataloging those moments in various other stuff I've watched, and, er, I think just about EVERYTHING I've fanned on that has sufficient sci-fi/fantasy elements has a plot like that in it somewhere.)
But ... these episodes! YES! So hilariously over-the-top and wonderful and friendshippy and SO MANY of my narrative kinks all wrapped up in a big doofy ball with a WTF MAGIC SPRING on top! *g* AP did a gloriously fab job with it (I was reminded of Vincent Ventresca doing Darien's MWAHAHAHA I AM SO EVIL Quicksilver madness in "Invisible Man") - and the stop sign SLAYED ME; it may be one of my favorite bits from an episode that was nearly all composed of favorite bits! (Duncan's Evil To-Do List: "Murder. Sexual assault. Ordinary assault. Grand theft auto. Minor traffic violations." With "kicking puppies" penciled in at the end. bwahahahaha, just ... OH SHOW ILU SO MUCH. ♥ ♥ ♥)
And everyone has been so, so wonderful about not spoiling this particular twist for me, even when I was talking about the possibility of a character taking in an evil Immortal's essence and going bad back in season one (you must have just about DIED keeping quiet at that point). That scene with Joe and Duncan at the end of 4x13, starting with Joe shooting him in the dojo -- BUTTONS. MASHED. SO HARD. And all the more because I had no idea whatsoever that it was coming; I was expecting this to be one of their straightforward old-friend-from-Duncan's-past filler eps for pete's sake!
and Methos who apparently just relies on being so adorable that even evil!Duncan won't kill him!
*snorfl*
Methos: I AM TOO CUTE TO KILL! Duncan: OH SHIT HE'S RIGHT. *wanders off and steals car*
no subject
