As I recall, it was just the good part of Duncan
stopping Evil Mac from doing it. I don't remember
anything that was at least blatantly a higher power.

It has been suggested (by me?)(possibly) that the Quickening emits Q-rays that dull the senses of any mortal who happens to be in the vicinity. One might see a Quickening but one perceives it as a flash of sun on glass, a car backfiring, a flower pot being dropped from some height...mundane things one's brain will accept.

I think some Immortals must hide some of the bodies and collect the swords and one must always remember that the police in the HL world are profoundly stupid.

Well, he does lose a lot of clothes over the years- sweaters slashed, sleeves cut, etc. As for blood..you have to write that off to it being TV. They couldn't show showers of blood three times per episode. There is usually a bit of blood along the edges of any would and that's about it - unless one gets decapitated in water, where they could show a stream of blood floating away. Actually, a remarkably high percentage of duels seem to be fought near water- providing an excellent opportunity for body disposal.

The fade in chord in the music (using a choir patch no less) and the camera
focusing in on a statue of an angel is representing good Mac? Again, it's
been awhile, but that scene stood out to me. I have to see it again to see
if my memory serves here, but that is what I remember. That seems higher
than inner turmoil to me.
