I have recently discovered the TV show Leverage. It is quite awesome: sort of a modern-day Robin Hood group. Steal from the rich (and corrupt) to give to the poor (and wronged). There's some heist or con job every episode. Oodles of fun.

This seems to be a great idea, especially with the reveal that Methos had it planned from the start to help the family!

I am kind of glad he bowed out... him Corey and Amanda together is more than asking for trouble!

Yeah, Cory, Amanda, and Methos all together: I can't even come up with an idea for how much trouble they'd get themselves into.

Although: how old is Cory? And when did he first meet Amanda? If I remember correctly, the last time the watchers identified Methos, it was 500 years ago. Maybe all three of them were together and Methos managed to lose the watchers again in the general chaos that resulted.

I don't have the Watcher's thingee handy, but I do remember Matthew McCormick, his teacher is some 800 years old, and he taught Cory very soon after his own First Death.

Excellent! That would make Cory maybe 200 some 500 years ago.

And poor Matthew would be maybe 300 and having to deal with Cory, Amanda, and Methos painting the town red. Possibly literally.
