you know, I really liked that Lorne wasn't his usual social self, as you put it. I always enjoy when characters are pushed out of their comfort zone. Lorne sounded like himself, but it was a pissed off, frustrated Lorne. However he was still the guy we like :D

Keep going! That's all what I can say, because, I know how it feels when characters impose yet another verse on you - only thing you can do is oblige. :D :D
