Highlander: The Series Season 3 Episode 16 Methos

In "Methos," the 16th episode of Highlander: The Series season 3, viewers are introduced to a new immortal character with a mysterious past and an unusual approach to immortality.

Duncan MacLeod, the show's protagonist and an immortal himself, encounters Methos while investigating the theft of an ancient text. Methos, who is initially uncooperative and evasive, eventually opens up to Duncan and reveals that he is the oldest immortal in existence, having lived for over 5,000 years.

As Duncan and Methos spend more time together, they begin to form a mutual respect and understanding. However, Methos's past catches up with him when another immortal, Kronos, comes looking for him. Kronos is not only an old enemy of Methos's, but also seeks to destroy him and any other immortals who stand in his way.

Duncan must decide whether to help Methos fight against Kronos and his followers, or to stay out of the conflict and let the two immortals settle their differences on their own. As their battle heats up and the stakes grow higher, Duncan realizes that neither he nor Methos can afford to ignore the threat that Kronos poses.

Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to flashbacks of Methos's long life, including his involvement in historic events such as the fall of Troy and the founding of the Watchers organization (which tracks immortals and their histories). These glimpses into Methos's past both deepen the character and give the show more depth and historical context.

Ultimately, "Methos" is a powerful exploration of what it means to be immortal, and how long life and experience can shape a person's outlook on the world. It also introduces a compelling new character to the Highlander universe and sets the stage for future conflicts and alliances. Fans of the show will not want to miss this episode.
