Goes without saying, one of my favorite episodes, too. Love watching Mac stalk into the bookstore, all ready to find and fight Evil Incarnate....and then meets this guy whose eyes light up like he's the second coming *g*.
Confusion, suspicion, a grudging "OK, I won't kill you _this_ time...!"
I think the introduction of the Watchers was essential to the series, not only to keep it from becoming a beheading marathon, but also to allow a full variety of interactions with knowledgeable and dangerous mortals without dragging in police or governments. Which would have grown stale fairly quickly, IMO.
