That was really, really not 'cockney'. Summer Glau has many talents, but accents are not among them.

Hoo, boy – I’m just going through Season 3 at the moment and Koenig…well, is it the transfer or did he put on a bit of weight after S1? Either way, his gleeful and unexpected discovery of his inner ham remains a highlight…
 
Anyway, yes, religion and the show. There’s always that weird streak of obsession with messianic…
