In fact, having four immortals band together -- instead of killing each other -- and call each other brothers, and spent a thousand years together is a pretty monumental accomplishment.
Methos says at some point about how he's never been married to an immortal, because that would be a hell of a commitment to make. "You'd have to love someone a hell of a lot to be with them for three hundred years." It's really interesting to examine that comment in light of these revelations.
Oh, that's a really great point!
I love this show's complexity, because, yeah, that was one thing I really liked about the character dynamics in the episode -- it wasn't as simple as Methos being shanghai'd and dragged along with the Horsemen against his will. There were elements of that, sure ... but these were also his friends, his family, his people for a thousand years. There had to have been a part of him that just enjoyed having the band back together again. But he'd moved on, become a different person, and they hadn't.
