I never liked the second Ray. The first Ray, for all his hard-shelled cynicism, was every bit as much of an idealist as Fraser. He secretly *wanted* Fraser to be right, even as he repeatedly insisted he wouldn't be. They mirror each other, in a sort of yin-yang way, each containing the other inside.
The second Ray lacked that connection. He and Fraser were friends, and coworkers, and maybe even (if Paul Gross's homoerotic subtext is to be believed) lovers or considering being lovers. But they weren't reflections. And I missed that.
