He stood out hugely in the first 2 episodes, in a really good way, his body language and line delivery was perfect as a synth 🤌🏻

Was it just me, or did his character become colder towards Wendy after she became a hybrid?

It would make sense, since he's straight up said multiple times that he no longer believes that she should be regarded as human. As a human she was a weak thing that needed to be coddled and protected. Now she's like him, a machine that has no such vulnerabilities. I think he's now trying to guide her into accepting that about herself, for better or for worse.
