    One nitpick...

    "Whiskey" is the Active/Doll name of Amy Acker's character, "Dr. Saunders," not Echo's faux-Southern personality.

    Echo was imprinted with the "Bonnie"-like personality which was (apparently) Whiskey's first imprint ever, which is why Topher referred to it as "Whiskey 1.1." I don't think that personality was ever actually named.

    And I completely agree regarding Dushku's acting chops or lack thereof and those of the shoe store clerk . "Is Josh too subtle for you?" No. Especially when he was explicit on "Fresh Air" that the reason Dushku signed on was precisely because she wanted to play different personalities. She's just not that good. But the rest of the cast more than adequately props up the show.
