I'm going to have to recheck the timeline ... I'm not really sure about it now that I think about it.
which is a delightfully complicated picture: Methos, seeking knowledge as well as destruction, relaxing at the end of a hard day of pillaging and raping by writing in his journal
That made me laugh. :D I can so imagine that!
I'm not entirely sure of all of his motivations for helping Kronos get the band back together
There are so many possibilities there, and I don't think it's just one reason. But at least part of it, I'm sure, was that if it had to end (and it had to, with Duncan after Kronos knowing what he knows now), it should end completely.
I don't think Methos is completely unwilling to betray or attempt to harm a friend -- he turned against Silas, after all, though only when Silas really forced his hand. But it does seem like loyalty is one of his overriding traits, to the few people that he gives his loyalty to.
I agree with this completely.
think in some ways he's a more loyal person than Duncan is (much as I adore Duncan ...) because Duncan will act against his friends' interests if he has to for the greater good.
Yeah, like we've discussed before, with Duncan it's abstract principles, and with Methos it's always personal. And they're neither of them completely wrong, which is why they're good for each other in my opinion.
