It makes me sad they didn't let him do this EVERY episode. Uh, the great acting, not the dying. ;) But, yeah, like you say, he did have his wavery moments in the past. Was so odd to see, actually, especially when we KNOW he can act like whoa. Stupid writing. :| But, man. He gave his all for this ep. I bet that was a tense set while this ep was being filmed. :|

HEE! Ditto, baby. :X
