I agree with most of what you're saying. With Omega's lair the idea was good, but the execution could have been better. It could have done with a little less camp, but on the other hand it goes with the mad-scientist-scenario. The pseudo-philosophical stuff Omega was spouting was a bit silly, but again, it's exactly what this sort of character would do - in that respect he's like an advanced Warren of nerd-trio fame. I quite liked Echo in these scenes - laughed heartily at her dig at Germans in response to Omega name-checking Nietzsche and yeah, the Obama line? It's something that Caroline-in-Wendy would respond to.
I'm with you on the nature-nurture thing. It's a little dangerous...
I've got a slightly different reading of Paul saving Mellie: Yes, he wakes up one of the princesses, and not the one we expect. First, I was really proud of him, but then I realized that this means that he gets to stay close to Caroline/Echo. Is it really a sacrifice?
