(no subject)
Today I fell off the Highlander bandwagon. Or got back on it. Whichever one means that you start doing something you thought you'd stopped doing.
Anyway...
I have to ask myself, why did Ahriman choose to appear as Kronos? I mean, Horton, sure; hell, I just have to hear that guy's voice and I get the urge to go out and do some stabbin'. And Richie, well, twisting the knife is what being evil is all about, isn't it?
But Kronos? As much as I hate to admit it, Duncan completely owned him. I mean, really, Ahriman will be all, "Rarr, I am Kronos!" and Duncan would be like, "Oh noes, not that guy whose ass I totally kicked and whose boyfriend I stole!" and Kronos would be like, "*sob* Too mean!"
Except probably not that last bit.
I guess there's the whole prior history thing, but come on. When Duncan first met him, Kronos was calling himself "Melvin". I don't care how many brutal murders he's committed, you just can't respect a man called Melvin. You'd think after thousands of years of unspeakable evil, Kronos would be able to come up with a cooler name than that, but no. "Melvin".
And even if Kronos was scary rather than just scarily hot, why Horseman!Kronos? Bearing in mind that Duncan has never seen Kronos in his Horseman incarnation, what exactly was the significance? Unless maybe Duncan has a secret phobia of 80's hairbands - and let's face it, what reasonable human being isn't slightly creeped out by 80's hairbands? - or Ahriman was trying to use the indescribable sexiness of Horseman!Kronos to distract him long enough to kick him in the nuts. Which would totally have worked on me, except for the part where I don't have nuts to kick.
And also, WTFWESLEYWHYAREYOUINHIGHLANDER?! And he made the Immortal who looked like a taller clone of Pippin sad, so extra hatred for him. God Wesley, you just ruin everything. What a dick.
