Is there a great website out there that I haven't discovered?
Maybe it's yours? Tell me about it!
A thoroughly biased selection of my favorite Methos sites:
Methos Boxer Brigade
A fan group dedicated to Methos'... erm... underwear. This site
has cruise and con pics and transcripts, essays on many aspects
of Methos-ology, and synopses of Methos episodes with tons of
great screen captures (including, of course, pics of the aforementioned
boxers). The site also has lots of screencaps from Peter's non-Highlander
roles.
Pookkah's
Highlander Page
Devoted to all characters, not just Methos. Has some of the best quality
screen captures around, but visit often as the selection is changed
and updated on a regular basis.
Methosluvr's Methos Page
It was offline for a while but it's back. And with tons of Methos
screen captures from seasons 5-6 of Highlander, plus WAV
files, Highlander publicity photos, and screen caps from
Peter's non-Highlander works — Soldier Soldier,
The Men's Room, Crocodile Shoes and Noah's Ark.
Carpe
Methos
Lovely screencaps from the episodes "Methos" to "Forgive
Us Our Trespasses."
Clones
'R' Us
Choose from among 22 cute clones of Methos (and several other
Highlander characters).
Kat
Troth's Highlander Page
Features sound files from Highlander Eurominutes, and Peter in
Noah's Ark and The Archers as well as con pics, reports
and fanfic.
Shakespeare

Mostly
Methos Image Gallery
Screen captures from "Chivalry" and "Timeless."
Peter's Portrait
Page
Pictures from a private photo session a lucky fan got with Peter
at Anglicon in April '97. Unfortunately, the scans are low-quality,
but Peter still looks pretty cute!
It seems like everyone is on YahooGroups
these days. A search there will bring up lots of lists, but here
are some of the more active ones:

The Wingfield Family

Not a Highlander or Peter Wingfield page. Just a curiosity —
I was amazed that there is actually an organization for people with
that last name! And with their own domain name too!
Clan MacLeod
Another family history site — this time from the real Clan
MacLeod.
Cusco
- Ring of the Dolphin
Music group Cusco has a song called "Methos" on their
Ring of the Dolphin CD. An MP3 excerpt of the song is available.
And what does this ode to our ROG sound like? Bland New Age music
unfortunately...
Methos
Maintenance Management Information System
Perhaps the most bizarre reference to our favorite Immortal —
IBM mainframe software! They actually claim: "Whether
you currently know a lot about or are looking for information on
METHOS, see what we have to offer. Most people don't know the
first thing about METHOS. We do." Even more insulting, they trademarked the name METHOS.
How dare they! Then again, in "The Messenger" Methos
did say about his name: "Well, it's not like it's got a patent
or anything."
