Highlander Season Three

They Also Serve, Air Date: February 1995

Recent Immortal Michael Christian has been on an incredible string of luck, taking a number of heads from unarmed and vulnerable opponents, including May-Ling Shen, who taught MacLeod the martial arts in 1780's Mongolia. Christian's Watcher, Rita Luce, has been doing more than just watching, supplying Christian with classified information on the other Immortals and their weaknesses. MacLeod, unaware of Christian, goes on a vision quest to his cabin on Holy Ground -- deliberately leaving his sword behind. The race is on for Joe Dawson to figure out Rita's secret before Christian sets his sights on MacLeod. ~ recap via tv.com

It's from a quote from Milton: "They also serve, who only stand and wait."

I liked this episode as well, despite my finding the existence of the Watchers much harder to swallow than the existence of the Immortals. May-Ling was interesting--but I think you're forgetting Ceirdwyn when you consider immortal swordswomen who are on a par with Duncan.

And let's not forget Rebecca.
