Yay! Glad you got it done! Hopefully keeping it braided makes it less tangly? I would love to have long hair again but not enough to deal with how much it hurts the rest of my body to keep it brushed. Sigh.

Keeping it braided means all the tangles are up at the top near the scalp. More braids means fewer tangles because there’s less hair at the top to tangle.

Also *hugs* It sucks to not be able to have long hair when you want it.

I used to really be into Highlander (guy friend introduced me in high school). Loved Methos and some of the immortals who weren’t Duncan. Don’t want to rewatch the whole series, but could you rec me the Good Parts Version?

Sure!

Ok, it’s perhaps not the Good Parts Versions other people would present, but it’s the episodes that still stick with me even a decade after my last proper rewatch. (This week is slated for rewatch of the first five seasons, then I have to go see how much it’ll cost for a digital download of the last season… or at least the two episodes I’m actually interested in rewatching.)

Season 1:

The Gathering – because pilot, and introducing Richie and Tessa

Bad Day In Building A – Tessa is awesome

Band of Brothers – introduction to Darius

For Tomorrow We Die – introduction to Xavier St. Cloud

The Lady and the Tiger – introduction to Amanda

The Hunters – introduction of Fitz, introduction of Horton, death of Darius

Season 2:

The Watchers – introduction to Joe

Turnabout – introduction to Charlie DeSalvo

Run For Your Life – first episode w/Carl Robinson

Unholy Alliance, parts 1 & 2 – Horton and Xavier team up, Xavier’s death

Pharoah’s Daughter – Marcus Constantine, Nefertiri

Legacy – Rebecca, plus Amana’s first death

Counterfeit, 1&2 – Horton’s death

Season 3:

The Revolutionary – introduction to Anne Lindsey

They Also Serve – a bit more exploring of Watchers

Song of the Executioner; Starcrossed; Methos – the first Kalas arc, and introduction of Methos

Testimony – a good one for Anne

Finale, 1&2 – Kalas’s death

Season 4:

Brothers In Arms – Joe backstory

Double Eagle – a good Amanda one, and relatively light

Chivalry – Richie gets in trouble, Methos saves the day, Duncan is useless

Timeless – Methos falls in love, and meanwhile one of Duncan’s friends is being a twit

Methuselah’s Gift – Methos and Amanda and some Duncan, and some sorrow for Methos

Till Death – Robert and Gina and their 300th anniversary. Hijinks ensue, Methos has entirely too much fun annoying Duncan

Season 5:

Manhunt – Carl Robinson & Matthew McCormick

Dramatic License – Duncan is the subject of a romance novel. There is fighting with a wooden spoon and the drumstick of a turkey

Money No Object – Cory Raines & Amanda

The Messenger – the false Methos, and the mess he brings

Comes a Horseman; Revelation 6:8 – the Horsemen episodes

The Ransom of Richard Redstone – Richie having an adventure MacLeod has to rescue him from

The Stone of Scone – Fitz being awesome

Forgive Us Our Trespasses – Methos and Amanda trying to save Duncan from himself… this includes the Methos in just his blue boxers!

The Modern Prometheus – More of Methos’s past, Byron

Season 6:

Two of Hearts – no MacLeod at all! This is mostly the source of my “Susan Ivanova is an Immortal” headcanon.

Indiscretions – Joe-and-Methos show!

And if you really want to watch the angst-fest that is the finale, than To Be & Not To Be, but I don’t recommend them unless you’re planning to use the AU they present as a base to write from.

Not all the episodes with Methos are on the list, but most of them are. There’s at least one episode I can’t remember all of, but the end involved Methos getting paint on his nose.

Pennsic going good then?

Mostly, yeah. Some hiccups, but there always are a few things that aren’t awesome. *shrugs* But for the most part it has been good.

Today, though, I traded all the money I’ve made from cords and de-stashing of yarn for 25 yards of glorious colors of linen and 2 yards of white linen for personal sunshade. Victory! *grins*

everything okay, hun?

*nods* I’m fine (ok, other than the thunderstorm currently going on over my head), I just was sociable today, and I have completely forgotten what the rest of the context of the conversation was around that quote. Easy to do, since the conversation wandered through writing, heavy fighters, medical stuff, bureaucracy, various fandom bits, string, and fuck all if I remember what else.

I remembered that bit because it was a good writing prompt, and has potential for entertainment as such. 🙂

replied to your post “GAAAHHHH! So, if there is one thing that makes me want to shriek at TV…”

HOLY GODS YES. From what I have seen, TV shows almost never get that right (though with the silver line, don’t four lines technically also cross at metro center?) It’s almost as bad as shows set in Seattle, in which people can set out in a row boat in one body of water, and end up in a completely different body of water which is only connected to the first by shipping locks.

With the Silver line now running, there are actually five at L’Enfant Plaza, and four at Metro Center, but it wasn’t yet running at the time of Leverage Season 5, and I was grabbing an older map to confirm what I remembered.

And if they’d gotten that little detail right, and the fact it’s DC Metro, not DC Subway, I could have forgiven the mistakes of architecture (interior and exterior), and the cars that aren’t shaped right and don’t have the right interior.

It would have also been nice if they’d gotten the fact that blue/orange lines and the red line tracks are on different levels of Metro Center.

And ow, that’s… special. Although I’m pretty sure at this point that the people who make TV shows live in their own little bubble wherein every city in the world has the same transit details as LA (or whichever city/cities their primary filming is in). Just show an arial view of the city, everyone will buy that it’s that city even when the small details are entirely wrong.

… Which is probably true, if the people aren’t local to that city, or aren’t familiar with the unique quirks of that city. But it doesn’t take huge amounts of research to get more than the surface details right – Google is your friend.

*sighs* Ah, well.
