I admit it; I didn't believe it at first, but it's beginning to look like a hologram is just a hologram, and certain changes made in SciFi Channel's Eureka recently are really going to stick.

As a mute alien looking for his escaped comrades in Harlem, he turns in an incredible performance without ever saying a word — and in this scene, where he soups up a video game for a local game junkie, you can see why.
