As unexpected as it was, I have to admit I wasn't saddened by it because I've never really understood all the hype and appeal about Summer Glau at all.

It may not have been an act. He had probably had an imprint until something activated him...

Summer Glau pretty much plays the same role in everything. I don't get the appeal either and I watched Firefly.

You thought River Tam was the same role as Cameron the Terminator and Bennett?

What?

All indications are that Boyd isn't a doll. For example, in the first season episode involving a psychotropic drug released on a campus he reacted like a non-doll.

As much as I really didn't like the first chunk of S02 eps, I have to say it has come together very nicely.

For me, from the outset of the series until now it went from looking-forward-to to hope-it-gets-better to it-just-got-a-little-better to slightly-aimless to Epitaph-One-was-outstanding to this-is-going-nowhere to holy-crap-this-is-great.

Damn you and thank you, Joss Whedon!
