Highlander Season Two

Pharaoh's Daughter, Air Date: April 1994

MacLeod feels the Buzz coming from an ancient sarcophagus and opens it to find Nefertiri, Cleopatra's handmaid, buried 2000 years ago with her mistress. Now revived, she pursues a vendetta against the Immortal Marcus Constantine, who was her lover and her enemy. Mac believes Constantine, who claims that he no longer wishes to fight Nefertiri -- this former Roman General has turned his back on battle and is now a curator, working to preserve history and its lessons. But Nefertiri can't let go of the old grudge, and for the first time, MacLeod is forced to face a woman he loves in Immortal combat. ~ recap via tv.com

I liked the show, but not one of my favorites.

Sex scene - yes. Loved the bit of N trying to walk in heels. Think Duncan has issues with killing lovers. Once he has taken someone to bed - they are a possession, a clan member, and are to be protected, not killed.

I agree he is fascinated with age and things older and different from himself and culture - N, Darius, Marcus, Methos. However, all presented themselves as good, reformed or at least benign. When he met an older evil - Kronos - he had no trouble with killing.

Actually found the idea that women use sex as a weapon and tool to get what they want very refreshing. N makes no bones that she uses it and ask if women still do. duncan reaction to that was adorable.
