Chivalry

We have much for which to thank Immortal Kristin. Oh yes. In her quest to turn rough-hewn Duncan MacLeod into something like a gentleman, she forced him to take a bath right there in front of god and everyone. And right then and there, he earned the title Sweet Cheeks as he stood indignantly with soap bubbles decorating his ever-so-delightful derriere. A moment of silence, please.

(silence)

But Kristin was just an awful person, regardless. When Duncan fell in love with the painter commissioned to paint his portrait, Kristin killed the lass, and then tried to kill Duncan. When he left, she told him she would never really have killed him.

Kristin, who now runs a big famous modeling agency, comes to Seacouver and takes a fancy to Richie, whose girlfriend Maria is an aspiring model. Kristin hires Maria and takes Richie as her lover. Maria has other irons in the fire and is offered a lucrative modeling contract by someone else, and Richie tries to talk Kristin into letting Maria's contract with her go.

Methos is in town, and he warns Duncan to warn Richie about Kristin. Duncan tries, but Richie is Immortal ... at least for the present, and he can't be convinced.

Kristin takes offense and tries to kill Richie, who finally figures out that she's a K'Immie to the bone. She also tries to drug and drown Maria. Mac and Methos storm in to the rescue. Mac battles Kristin, but he's way too chivalrous to whack her. Methos battles Kristin, and does a pretty handy job of separating her head from her shoulders. This is one of the reasons we rather like Methos. He sees a job to do and he does it. Good man, Methos.

Questions:

1. Why did Methos really kill Kristin?

2. For a fellow constantly proven wrong by MacLeod, Richie seems to have a real problem accepting Mac's counsel and advice. Why does he keep hanging around? Would he have eventually been forced to whack Kristin if Methos hadn't been on the scene?

3. Is the usual hair and pants question summarily modified to a hair and butt question? What is that question?

4. Why did Duncan refuse to take that final whack at Kristin? Did he hope to get lucky with her again? It's been a while since Amanda left town, you know.
