Joe Dawson: Ow! Considering who's treating me, I'd say it's a miracle. Watch out. Ow! Where'd you say you studied medicine?
Methos: Heidelberg. 1453.
Joe Dawson: Did you major in medicine or dueling?
Methos: Both. A couple more days, you'll be able to travel.
Joe Dawson: You don't have to look quite so happy about it.
Methos: You know that run in you had with the Watchers the other night?
Duncan MacLeod: Yeah?
Methos: Jean Dumar. He was killed the same night. I'm sorry, Joe. I know he's a ...

Trivia
Joe Dawson (the character ultimately played by Jim Byrnes) was originally going to be named Ian Dawson, and was conceived to be a bookish historian with less world experience than Joe. Actors considered for the role included Michael York and David McCallum. See more »Goofs
Episode 1.20, "Avenging Angel", features a swordfight between immortals that appears to be on holy ground; however the site is actually a museum displaying religious artifacts from the crusades. The confusion arises because footage from this fight is seen in the opening credits of later episodes as the narrator speaks of holy ground. See more »Quotes

The idea of immortals isn't new.This show examines the life of "immortals" and examines the answers to question as: What is like surviving your loved ones?Surviving your family?Your hometown?Your country?Your religion?The civilisation whose ideas you carry on?It can be thoughtful.Especialy once you stop thinking about "good"and "evil"immortals and start examining what makes them act the way they do.It's deeper than most modern TV shows and far better than the movies with the same name.The charachters tend to be very interesting.Especially the cynic,dissilusioned immortal Methos the surviver.Five thousand years old and he is sounding like count Fosca from de Beauvoir's "All Men Are Mortal"who is bitter,dissilusioned and hopelessely alone,destined to survive mankind.Other charachters of interest to viewers are1)Amanda the French,manipulative thieves who seems to enjoy her life more than other immortals seem to do.Has she found the meaning of life?2)Duncan McLeodThe star.Noble and thick-headed.He doesn't hunt other immortals.He waits for them to come and they do.How important is he?3)Darius,general and priest.What made him quit the game anyway.4)Kalas,singer and monk.An immortal killer who loves music and plotting.5)Kronos a horseman.He brings anarchy. The show is definitely worth seing.
