S'ok, ita. Davidson's still MY Doctor, no matter how stunning Eccleston or Tennant may be.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To a degree, Baker's My Doctor, but not to the degree of nakedness and wanting to run around the continuum with him.
I think it's a puberty thing.

If I only had a brain...
Methos is the oldest immortal. I don't think they ever called him the first.
Was he even the oldest for sure? I mean, he's the oldest known one, but there may be somebody even sneakier and better at flying under the radar. Or, y'know, shipwrecked in the Marianas Trench and slowly walking home in between drownings.

He was the oldest according to Watcher files. I don't remember if he ever even took a position.

One would think, given that he founded the Watchers, that if he weren't the oldest he would have found out about it. Have they had any aliens or demons or anything that predate the immortals?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Wait, so the dude founded a whole organization to keep track of himself?? It this how private citizens get their own fan clubs, or was he just really bad at finding his keys?
And more to the point, what did fan clubs send to their members, before the invention of movable type? I bed calendars with engravings of one's idol just aren't as cool as pinup calendars with photos.

Methos founded the Watchers? Where was that established?
Does this Duncan S1 quote predate word of Methos?
The legend has it that Darius killed a holy man at the gates of Paris, the oldest living Immortal at the time. And suddenly he changed. He turned his back on war.

Even if he had set it up, Adam's Watcher-related activities never revealed details about himself. Quite the opposite -- he joined to make sure he was never found.
Okay, I found a S6 episode summary that says the Watchers were founded by someone who saw Gilgamesh revive.

Yeah, but why would he tell anybody?
