This story took me by surprise, even though it shouldn't: of course, if Methos had been in the Watchers for ten years, he would have been there when Darius was killed, and he would have heard about it through the Watcher grapevine. This posits a Methos who was close friends with Darius -- with some very angsty flashbacks of Methos and Darius around WWI -- and a Methos just as desirous of vengeance for Darius's death as Duncan was; yet managing to keep in character and in canon by preventing Duncan and Methos from meeting. Good stuff.

This one follows on from "The Night Watch" as Methos tries to track down more of the Hunters and gets tangled up with unexpected obligations as some of his past catches up with him. More Methos angst, more lovely Darius flashbacks, nasty Horton, and a touch of spookiness. Cool.
