I thought that Mellie's reveal came a little fast, not just for Paul, but for the viewer. Still, great acting from both Miracle and Tahmoh!

It should be interesting to see just how well Paul is able to keep up the relationship with Mellie knowing that she is a doll.

I wish the "will he find out" storyline could have played out longer, but given they're only sure of this one season, I can understand why it didn't.

Through that entire scene, I was kinda rocking back and forth whispering, "Oh, Paul." There may have been an unshed tear or two.

That scene killed me. Like you said, both actors did an amazing job and my little shipper heart was just aching for them.

I, too, wish the reveal had come a little later but I also understand why Joss is moving at this pace. If he had continued with the adventure-of-the-week format, I doubt I'd be as invested as I now am.

Does anyone else feel like the Paul/Mellie relationship is less creepy than Paul/Echo or Victor/Adelle? I don't know...I saw a lot of similarites between the Mellie imprint, November, and her original personality. The same warmth, compassion, and optimism seems to be enate in all of them so I don't really feel the creep!factor with Paul/Mellie that I would with another doll/non!doll hook-up.

'Course, I could just be biased because I love the chemistry between Tahmoh and Miracle:) And the fact that Mellie is constantly helping Paul remove his clothing:)!

Oh Paul/Mellie is definetly less creepy than Paul/Echo and Victor/Adelle. Something about the other two ships just doesn't set right with me.

I loved that scene, and yeah, it did come too soon, but it was so beautiful and so heartbreaking . :(
