That final scene between Duncan and Methos really gets to me. The look on Duncan's face -- only another immortal could truly understand the pain of that moment, I think. What it must be like for them when they fall in love with a mortal.
I enjoyed the other storyline as well, but will make that a separate comment since I've rambled on longer than anyone should have to deal with :) Sorry bout that!

As for the A line story, it was good. Rae Dawn did a great job too, but it definitely took a back seat to Methos.
Just my thoughts.

As for Claudia's story, it pales in comparison to the brilliance that is Methos, but it's a good premise. I like the tension and the shared history between Walter and Duncan, and I love the line near the end about Duncan needing to take Walter's head just to shut him up. Claudia comes across as being suitable driven, and you do feel sympathy for her when she loses that 'spark' as well as feeling exasperated with her when she discovers what she needs to get it back.

I never found the loss a believability gap. The women was shot, point blank, and saw it coming. That kind of shock can rattle things including her ability to play.
I am sure over time the magic in her fingers would have returned even without the "death" threat. But in her mind she linked the two.

Personally, I did have a hard time believing that. After all, you could select pieces that are about fear, and pour the fear you felt into them. Music is versatile like that. :-) Also, her argument is that it took fear away from her altogether. My wild guess is that they originally had the experience leave her numb, then realised that at least one of her two rivalling mentors would make her see that the numbness would pass with the shock. And then time ran out, and they were stuck with this bit as it was. :-D

I always like that bit of 'Methos' we get when Methos confronts Joe about where Alexa lives. Excellent bit. I've read in the past that some people think Methos falling for Alexa was some sort of way to play at being Adam, but that moment is pure Methos with no Adam in sight.
