Once Michael bust out that stupid-assed accent
Yeah, it should have been a good character but the accent just ruined it.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I didn't hear it as an accent so much as a bad Clint Eastwood impression.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I *loved* the rappelling stunt. That was v. cool.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
F: Nate's accents
C: Angel's accents
M: Michael's accents
Michael actually did a decent southern accent last week, and that's something I don't take lightly. Plus, nothing he does can ever be as bad as Fi's Irish accent, which was right up there with Angel's.

Exactly. On the other hand, it's probably what Omar expected. The theatricality and OTTness made a real impression.

Trust my rage
Mostly I like Michael's accents. Last night's was more annoying than bad. Nate's accents always sound so corny to me. Angel's never bothered me, but I think I'm in the very small minority on that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nate's make me laugh, except when he's German. Then my ears bleed. Michael's usually don't bother me, but last night I can't imagine anyone would take him seriously.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Nate's are supposed to be corny.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Shouldn't Nate be going for realistic?
His OTT characters make me grind my teeth, but - like the underestimation of Eliot - I suspect it's on purpose. The more attention he attracts, the less attention his mark will pay to anyone else.
