1.3: For I Have Sinned

[Highlander II]

(description from tvtome.com)

Another serial killer, this time preying on young women who all attend the same church. In order to catch him, Nick must try to overcome his fear and loathing of the Church and its symbols. Meanwhile, flashbacks to 15th Century France show Nick's encounter with a young peasant girl doomed to become a martyr when her claims that God spoke to her result in the Church branding her as a heretic and condemning her to burn at the stake. Nick offers her his version of immortality, but she refuses in favor of her own belief in life after death.

I loved the confessional scene in this! The humor is great. It's gotta be the funniest scene in the series (next to Schanke losing control of the Caddy in Dark Knight & listening to Polka with Nick in the trunk!)

Also, I liked the Joan of Arc references, and the way they crop up in other eps throughout the series, sort of like a thread or pattern running through the whole tapestry.

I gotta wonder though, about the look on Schanke's face when Nick says he's going to spend the day in a church. Do you think Schanke knew all along, but kept it a secret? Or maybe he tried to convince himself that it wasn't real, but later changed his mind?
