Why Make Him Sleep

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

They force him to sleep and even try to give him pills to sleep. Here's a newsflash, if you don't sleep in 7 days, you die. That's a fact. If he doesn't need it and he is super smart, isn't it a bit counter-productive to society to make him sleep? It seems like they are doing stuff for him and making him do stuff so they feel good, not because it is any good for him.

Not sure if I liked this very much. The rest of it was at least decent, but this little thing struck me as odd.

It is a good story to add to what has already been set up, but the skeleton just makes it weird. I'm hoping that this doesn't get lame fast, but having already seen the next 2 shows, I'm not so sure.
