NUNS ON THE RUN!
Episode 1.07 of Warrior Nun - you know something bad is going to happen when the subtitles indicate "chittering noises". Heeeeee!
Also, yes, I literally screeched, "Nuns on the run!" aloud at one point during this episode.
Other thing before I forget to mention it: they actually bothered to do the ridiculous costumes right that the Swiss guards wear on duty at the Vatican.
Definitely enjoying this show, even if it was a bit slow at the start.

Those ridiculous Vatican costumes only date to 1914, but are meant to recall the uniforms worn by the Swiss Guard during the Sack of Rome. During the Sack, the Swiss mercenaries hired to guard the Pope were almost completely wiped out protecting him as he ran for safety in his fortress the Castel Sant'Angelo. The fact that the Swiss still guard the Pope and still wear those faux 16th century costumes is to commemorate that fact. Also, the requirements for the current Swiss Guard are pretty impressive, they're essentially Catholic commandos with good conduct medals.
