Good idea re: the evil speech. Not only is that a good way to not have to write the whole thing but it also breaks up too much narrative following just Edward's thoughts.
I wonder if this is the point where he finally admits he's addicted to love (as it were. Ha!) or whether even in his own head he still denies caring about Donna and kids and tries to ignore the fact that his stomach is in a knot and he has to concentrate to still the tremor in his hands.
I think Belle Morte probably assumed Methos was alive because she couldn't imagine anyone killing him. Then she discovered that *someone else* was going around with his name. So maybe he was dead after all because surely the man she had known wouldn't allow anyone else to use his name. And that's part of her hatred for Edward, not that he's killing vampires but that he's evidence for Methos being dead.
And then it turns out that Methos isn't dead but he's not the man she wants and he still won't accept her. Or possibly can't accept her, depending on what his holy status is. Then it could be this whole star-crossed lovers deal except with ruthless pragmatic psycho killers. Hee.
I can't remember who all the other Vampire counsel members are, but there was Oliver who was something like a million years old but I think that was significantly older than the rest. Because he's described as being physically different and all the others at least look like modern humans.
Then Traveler has the skill of being able to possess other vampires and walk around in their bodies. I'm not even sure if he has a body of his own or not. He has a human servant but the servant enjoys sleeping with whatever body is on offer at the moment, so I'm inclined to think he doesn't have a body of his own. (Now my theory is that since immortals take quickenings, they should also be able to take other free-floating life forces and if Traveler isn't terrified of Methos he should be.)
Is Morte D'Amour the one who has zombie tendencies and is terrifying in his/her ability to rot on command?
Then I've also heard some references to a Mother of Darkness who may be awakening. I don't know anything at all about her but from the sounds of it, she may have been stolen wholesale from Anne Rice.
