I watched this after church today *g*, and agree with the source of the schism. This show is, however, not Highlander, and hasn't really demonstrated the subtlety and consistency of that show - which also had the luxury of a lot more time to do strong multi-story, multi-season arcs that let events play out in fascinating, complex ways.

My guess is that Vicki will be forced to confront the consequences of tainting her soul (perhaps ending up doing acts that - even by her relativist standards - are unconscionable), and that it will ultimately be Henry who comes to her rescue.

true... the jimmy scene is in what, season 4? 5? and they've only had this one season. and of course, nothing is Highlander. *g*

but for a first season, they've really come far in exploring some interesting character arcs. i loved that one of the things that made Henry most angry was that Vicki had now put Coreen on "their" radar - vulnerable to evil. Now, Coreen had been doing a fine job of getting in trouble with dark arts-ish boyfriends all by herself, but I think Henry was reacting to a sense that Coreen is, in some sense, under Vicki's protection, and she failed at that job by drawing her in to this particular act. Vicki failed the code of noblesse oblige that still rules the bastard Prince.
