Methos’ Sweater Chic in season 5
Tag: highlander
The zombeesknees/harrietvane Highlander The Series 2015 rewatch:
The Samurai s03e01: Back to Seacouver – they retcon where MacLeod got the sword (from ‘i dunno my cousin gave it to me’, to ‘got this Japanese sword from Japan, actually’), the stunning Tamlyn Tomita plays both a modern woman and her own ancestor in flashbacks, 17th century still-scottish Mac is washed up on a beach and rescued by Robert Ito and taught to not be such a douche (but it still ends in tears), the villain is Steven McHattie who to this day makes a career as a cut-price Lance Henriksen, but somehow ..creepier.
Methos gifset * Till Death
Come back here! You’re dead!
For flukeoftheuniverse – more comedy gold! This is such a fun episode, and I particularly like the look of utter betrayal on Robert’s face just before Methos pulls the sword back out.
Methos screencaps * The Messenger (1 of 2)
Some young sucker’s always gonna fall for it.
I just watched this episode tonight, and was reminded how much I adore this scene. Methos lounging on Mac’s bed. All the physical comedy with the boots and the coat. Methos being completely and utterly unimpressed by all of this.
Also this is another of the too-big sweaters that make him look really skinny, even though he… actually isn’t. (I keep writing about how thin he is in fic and then having to go back and edit.)
He isn’t skinny? Really? They were so good at giving that impression.
I think Methos is a cat. He just shows up, takes over, lounges on the bed. These screencaps could be part of those gifsets where people walk into their home to discover they’re now petowners.
He doesn’t have a key, right? He just breaks in because that’s where he wants to be.
He really isn’t! Look at the muscles on the man in Forgive Us Our Trespasses or Indiscretions – he’s compact, yeah, but he’s not as waiflike as those huge floppy sweaters would have us believe. It’s interesting to me because, as I was just discussing with lannamichaels, there’s this huge idea in fic that Methos is super-skinny, and that plays into the roles he’s put in when we slash him, etc (especially, I think, with Mac, who fandom is utterly convinced he’s shorter than even though Adrian Paul and Peter Wingfield are the exact same height).
(I think about this entirely too much.)
Also YES Methos is totally a cat. You just made me want to make a “this is not my cat”/”I don’t even have a cat” gifset with Methos showing up uninvited in places. 😀 Also, hey flamebyrd, we are talking about Methos being a cat!
