*thumbs up* Though of course, I've only read the transcript longingly.
Oh, I do hope you get to see it soon! One of the best episodes, imo.
The most OOC Highlander fic I've ever read that wasn't just plain badfic featured Methos telling Duncan he had to change his name to be with him, and Duncan agreeing. I don't believe Duncan could ever change his name, as as you said, I don't think Methos would want him to either.
I don't know. I tend to think he never would, too, but that would imply that Duncan couldn't/or can't change, and I don't believe that, either. Duncan may change his name eventually, but I do think it would be only when he was good and ready to. And what 'good and ready' might be is anyone's guess.
That sounds like a real gem. ;)
I did read a story where by the end of it Duncan decided to change his name which more or less worked for me. A gen story, by Janeen called...um... Changed Utterly (http://users.erols.com/darkpanther/HL%20Stories/changed.htm). It was sad and a little bittersweet, but a good read. It's part of a large body of works that I never set time apart to read, shame on me.
