turpsPlaying Who Wants To Live Forever when Darius is onscreen in flashbacks is so wrong, way to make me all sniffly. But man, this ep was good, Mac in a bandanna, much with the hotness there, and hugging Richie. Of course the death thing was a bummer :(
I've realised that fic has screwed me up in terms of HL. Before I started watching this time I'd seen a few Methos eps and nothing else, but had read a load of fic. So I've all these things like double quickenings, dark quickenings, watchers etc in my head with no real canon context. It's like Darius, I keep thinking he was evil and raped Mac in a church. Of course that could be my own sick mind at work. And the Watchers, I thought they were a good thing, but I watched today and they seem pretty nasty.Good job I'm shallow and just watch for the pretty ;) But bye Darius, I'll remember you and your easy access brown robe for a long time.

I'll be no good next week when that next thing happens :(

Date: 2004-02-12 10:27 am (UTC)I love Richie, he's so awkward at times, but also so self confident. It's not as if I even find him that hot, sure he's attractive but not in the way I usually go for my men.
And Mac so wants him! ;)
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 10:30 am (UTC)Oh puh-lease! It's only because Methos isn't here yet!
Btw, I watched 'The Debt' today, and couldn't help thinking of your icon during the scene lol
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 10:36 am (UTC)When Methos comes they can have a nice threesome ;)
Lol, I love 'The Debt' Larry and courtship rituals, it's all good! And Blair in that jumper is a lovely thing to see.
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 11:04 am (UTC)and ps: Darius is just a victim here! it wasn't him! plus, he gets killed by morons - martyr vibes! have a little respect for the man, you evil slashers!
ps2 (and no, I don't mean playstation2): it is proven, working too much is bad for my comments, honestly!
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 11:14 am (UTC)lol I seem to manage to get the opposite, I end up at slash bashes where we watch highlander and talk about it lol
I don't think either of us will be any good next week hon, nothing but bad :o( I love tessa! **wails**
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 11:14 am (UTC)Duncan/Richie? Nah uh- uh, don't see it, didn't see it even when I didn't know of Methos' existence, so I'm not being biased here *nods*
It would be like... Jack/Sam, not enough sexual sparkles. Although there's more chemistry between Duncan and Richie that Jack and Sam- but then, it's not difficult *eg* I mean, they sure love each other, but they're not in love with each other. You miscreants! Well, I guess you'll stay in your misled DM/R corner when I'll have fun in my DM/M corner *eg*

Date: 2004-02-12 11:26 am (UTC)However, I do agree that Methos is a very compelling character, but so's Richie in his own awkward way. Mac and Richie are MFEO.
Man, can you believe I'm here defending Richie Ryan?! I would have been laughing so much three years ago.
I have a lot of respect for Darius, and his easy access brown robes ;)
Working does cut into your comments, but the ones you make are great.
*hugs babycakes*
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 11:29 am (UTC)But Mac takes him in, and he hugs him and loves him. Richie has this hero worship thing going and Mac loves it.
You mentioned Jack/Sam in my LJ! *shudders*
I will have fun in my DM/R corner, then when Methos comes I'll be in the DM/M/R corner, until that happens *cries*
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 11:32 am (UTC)*loves Tessa and her touchy feely ways too*
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 11:45 am (UTC)Mmm, the end of the ep, when Duncan kissed Tessa, the happy slasher in me was all like, 'he's gonna kiss Richie now!' lol but alas, no lol
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 12:25 pm (UTC)he's the best 20th century boy, but Methos has that cunning past, therefore great (but my favorite Horseman has to be Kronos, sorry - oh, remember that last episode? With Kronos/Methos/Richie? boy was that great *sighs happily* but I digress)
Man, can you believe I'm here defending Richie Ryan?! I would have been laughing so much three years ago.
you're talking to someone who regarded Mouse's slash passion as something she understood but would never, ever read. Things sure change, babe, things sure change... lol You've finally seen the light and understood why I watched the show for years (cause let's face it, watching it for Methos started much later...)
I have a lot of respect for Darius, and his easy access brown robes ;)
my point exactly lol *clears throat* I meant: howdareyoudisrespectamanofthechurch - there, my Catholic heritage will be happy (to which I'll remind them of all the sex stories surrounding the Church at the moment and darn another digression!)
Working does cut into your comments, but the ones you make are great.
you're too kind, my lady *hugs Terri*

Date: 2004-02-12 01:09 pm (UTC)I'll talk about HL pairings to distract you shall I?
I must admit that I never thought I'd like Richie, but since seeing the show from ep 1 I've grown to love him a whole lot. If I'm being serious I'd say that Mac must have messed around with men in his long life, but he's so happy with Tessa just now. However, the way they all touch I can really see a Mac/Tessa/Richie thing going on, and I do like the idea of DM/R a whole lot.
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 01:10 pm (UTC)Now that would have made me a very happy woman!
*goes to happy place at the thought of it*
