That still seems like a horrible plan considering their resources. I mean people were making jokes about how they should have a sign that says "we've gone 3 engagements without a client in mortal danger" or something. They were awful at keeping anyone even remotely safe.
If all they needed was to observe echo being imprinted then they could have just used other dolls as her engagement partners. They had 20 houses worth to play with.
Sure, if all it took was the imprinting for the process to begin. But maybe it was the stress of the engagements that was the impetus for Echo becoming "Echo" rather than a blank doll. You'd be hard pressed to get that same level of stress in controlled circumstances.

I can't really argue with that. If you didn't get to see enough...you didn't get to see enough. There's no question the pacing of the show was erratic at best. Too slow in the beginning, too fast the last few episodes. However, I think anyone watching has to incorporate the knowledge that we only got to see the true show recently but we had some catching up to do...and not enough time to do it.

I liked Boyd as a good guy. I really, really did. But the "Big Bad" twist had the potential to be awesome, but it kind of missed. Probably because they most likely made the twist up when they were writing The Attic episode. If there was even the subtlest of clues that Boyd was evil, then this could have been awesome. If they showed some sort of flash back and fleshed out the depth of his plot. Instead, he was just pretty much insane the whole time...
Yeah, I now start to twitch every time I think back to all those great Boyd moments, when I felt we were so lucky to have him.
It's like getting to the last episode of dueSOUTH, and finding out Fraser was really a serial killer that whole time.
Fraser was a serial killer?

Dang! I knew I should've worded that differently!
No, he wasn't. But if he had turned out to be one, it would've affected me the same way as the Boyd thing.
