S2 is just about everything you could want and more from a show about mind wiping and evil corporations. :)

I agree, Echo kind of bugs me too (it's the idealism and the Cause. People with Causes always bug me), but she has a few qualities that link her to Goku strongly. She has a personality that's resilient to any programming and changes, has pretty strong protective instincts, there are aspects of her that she has to struggle with, not to kill everyone, she has enough charisma for people to be drawn to her.

And yet I make Sanzo the doll. *shakes head*
