   That's exactly the point.  It was supposed to be flat and awkward and   
   creepy.  It was supposed to be like some dead thing wearing Anna's skin,   
   a permanent resident of the Uncanny Valley.  If they'd had real   
   chemistry, would Sheridan have been able to call down a nuke-laden White   
   Star on his own position and jump into a bottomless pit?
