A Methos-centric Highlander fan page with episode, film, and book reviews; observations on the series; Immortals fan fiction; and tips for collecting and watching actor Peter Wingfield’s filmography. Online since July 2000.
“Highlander: The Series was a fantasy television series that ran from 1992 to 1998. An offshoot and alternate reality derived from the 1986 feature film Highlander.
In the world of the television series, Connor MacLeod had not won the prize, and there were still many Immortals in existence post-1985.
The series featured Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul), Connor’s clansman, as the main character. Christopher Lambert made only a guest appearance in the pilot episode.
An international hit, the series was nominated three times for a Gemini Award, and once for a Saturn Award in 1998.”

“Methos (played by Peter Wingfield) is an Immortal and a friend of Duncan MacLeod. Reputed to be the oldest living immortal, he has met many historical figures over the years, and has been a few as well.
In one of his early incarnations became a legend, known as Death of the Four Horsemen. He has assumed countless aliases over the centuries, one of his most recent known was that of Adam Pierson, a (former) Watcher researcher.”

Methos is played by Peter Wingfield. What an amazingly perfect piece of casting! Find out all about that guy who looks just like Methos! Read the actor’s bio, explore his film and television filmography, and find communities of fans just like you and me!
I personally own an extensive collection of Peter Wingfield’s work in VHS and digital formats. Remember in the late 90s when VHS trading was hot, hot, hot? I helped! I also converted several of his shows/tv-films to VCD and DVD. These days, much of the material is available for purchase on DVD/Blu-ray on eBay or Amazon, viewing clips on YouTube, or through a myriad of streaming services. But I keep my Trading List active in case it can help someone... AND I’m still looking for a few titles to complete or replenish my own collection!
Original stories by Rain based on Immortals and The Game including familiar copyrighted characters, especially Methos / Adam Pierson, and characters created by Rain: including a BRAND NEW STORY released in 2020! Plus links to more fan fiction by other authors.
“In portraying characters that other people already recognize, characters whose further adventures other people already want to read, nonprofessional creators can find a wholly voluntary, non-paying audience of people whom they will never meet.
No clearer path from new writers to potentially interested readers has existed in the history of civilization...”

“...the Queen of Swords finds an unlikely comrade in Robert Helm (played by Peter Wingfield), an English Doctor who trades his musket for a scalpel, vowing to save lives, not take them. He has little patience for Tessa, believing her to be a spoiled member of the nobility, and less for the Queen of Swords, despising the blades with which she deals justice, yet Helm keeps finding himself strangely attracted to the beautiful avenger in black.” — from Queen of Swords Presskit
Watching Methos in Highlander: The Series, one begins to obsess. Next, the obsession expands to more Peter Wingfield characters. I’ve explored recurring circumstances, wardrobe, tropes, and even the meaning of Methos itself. Now I need your help! Send me your compulsion/obsession/instance you’d like to see given attention on my Strange Observations Page.
