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?
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

"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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

If I only had a brain...

Yeah, but why would he tell anybody?

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.
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.
Boy is he gonna be pissed off when he gets back.

Especially when he realises he could have shucked the weights and tried floating up instead--he'd still have made time while he was dead that way.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I seem to recall Connor MacLeod sinking to the bottom and having to walk out, in the first Highlander movie. Maybe the Immies vary in floatyness.
