hafitalI should be in bed now, sleeping, but with all these pretty dvds just begging to be looked at, how can I?? How? Is it weird to stroke a dvd set?
I (not so) randomly put in the disk with Timeless Till Death, just to see a little bit before going to bed and watched the deleted scenes. I love deleted scenes.
There ar three beautiful takes of a deleted scene between Duncan and Methos. Have others with the set seen these? Where the hell are they? hee. And, call me obtuse, but was Methos saying he was the slave boy, or that the slave boy came between him and his wife?!? I do believe it is the latter, and how the heck are we supposed to interpret that? And it took me a few viewing to figure out what the heck they're doing (it's late. I'm tired) but I figured out they were moving Methos things from his car to Duncan's, and Methos is so funny with his things and it's just weird. But beautiful, in that awkward deleted scene sort of way. The last take was my favorite.
*burble*
eta to fix my easily confused ramblings

Date: 2004-04-28 03:44 pm (UTC)I think Methos is supposed to be the slave boy. There's that line on the barge at one point, about how he hasn't got between a married couple in two thousand years. I don't remember the year he gives in the deleted scene, but I'm pretty sure it fits.
Yup, lovely deleted scene. "It's a fax machine!" Heh.

Date: 2004-04-28 04:50 pm (UTC)Ah, see, that makes sense. :) Except, I wonder if Methos would think of himself as a slave boy, rather than just a slave, but I suppose it could be an identity thing. And, if he could buy a place in Herculaneum, I doubt he could have been a slave around the same time, also.
Hm, tricky tricky Methos. heh.
I like the ambigousness of the triangle. Just who is who? Maybe Methos was the wife...

From the way he says 'slave boy' in the first take, I heard it as some kind of private joke. Or a way to put Mac off the scent ("...a senator, his wife, and [uh, not me, someone not me] a slave boy [*snort*, good one, go me].") for whatever reason.
Hm, when did he mention Herculaneum? I vaguely recall someone having 'a little place outside Herculaneum(?) at the time', but that wasn't then, was it? Or this episode.
Maybe Kronos was the slave boy.

Date: 2004-04-28 06:46 pm (UTC)He does say it very fast. I had to repeat it several times... *coff*. Also Duncan's line after, the "confirmed bachelor" line, confuses me, and makes me think that Methos was the Senator, and that he's a "confirmed bachelor" because he diddled the slave boy while being married. (???) But then again, the man was married 68 times -- I think you must relinquished your confirmed bachelor status after, at lest, the 40th marriage.
IT MAKES NO SENSE!
*pant*

In To Be, I believe, but I can't quite remember how the dialogue goes.
Maybe Kronos was the slave boy.
Hee!

Date: 2004-04-28 09:02 pm (UTC)I like that option. But then I'm a little bit shallow. *g* But Methos speaks about it like *he* got in trouble for meddling in *other* people's 'domestic disputes', so he couldn't have been the senator. Maybe he was a fourth party who couldn't keep his nose out of the senator and his wife's petty squabbles over the slave boy.
Okay. At this point, he might as well have been the scarecrow.
But then again, the man was married 68 times -- I think you must relinquish your confirmed bachelor status after, at least, the 40th marriage.
Looking at that, I think that was Duncan's point, actually. "Oh, so first you were married 68 times, but *now* you're the wise old bachelor?" But yeah, it makes no sense in context. Staying out of people's marital problems makes you a bachelor? Huh?
IT MAKES NO SENSE!
Heh, maybe that's why it was cut.
