First story in the Restoration series. Good for Methos-lovers everywhere. This struck me somewhat as Highlander seen through The Sentinel eyes - the two brothers-of-soul, and the paternal outsider. And why not, hey? A nice amount of angst and soul-bearing, and, yeah, world-saving. I loved the faculty staff!

Second story in the Restoration series. This is a precursor to something more, and an aftermath of what was before, and a Christmas story, with lightness and teasing. For some reason, Cyndi Lauper's "True Colours" kept going through my head when I read this. "Your true colours, shining through, I see your true colours, and that's why I love you, so don't be afraid, to let them show - your true colours, your true colours are beautiful..."

Ahhh (contented sigh), I continue to like this series. Nice interaction between Methos and Duncan (with Joe on the sidelines). The faculty returns! (I guessed the outcome of the competition as soon as I saw Methos's reaction to Mac's actions...) And we are tantalized for more.

Y'know, this isn't so much a story as a chapter - in the continuing story. Once more we get a little bit more, once more we are tantalized. But that picture of Methos pacing in his apartment muttering Coleridge is priceless. The journey is worth the road. But following this series requires patience.

Oooooh! Darkness and light, sprinkled with quips. One problem solved, another revealed, or at least, hinted at. Good.
