And give the guy a haircut and he looks like a Japanese Jon Oliver.

On my doorstep.
Christmas eve.
Playing Rudolf the RNRD.
(With the "squee-squee" sound from the Psycho shower scene in the background.)
Pinch me.

But a theremin it's not, since you have to touch it to make it work. A theremin is the only instrument that _stops_ working if you touch it (because you ground the antenna).

Minus the Muppet-y part (which you have to move yourself) and sperm tail, it might sell. It at least should have different colors.

I didn't like the faux-science explanation of the sword. Actually the last couple episodes where they've just let stuff be more magical worked a lot better for me than previous episodes where they've used REALLY BAD technobabble. Just call it applied phlebotinum and move on.
Also, was that Lynne Cormack ("Dracula: The Series") playing his ex-girlfriend? It's not listed on IMDB but it sure looked like her to me.

Unlike many on this site, I LOATHE Claudia. No offense towards the actress, but the character is something out of late 1980's 'alterna-hacker chick' central casting.
It's like you can picture the meeting between the producers and casting agents - all of which are over 40.
"And she needs to be young, skinny and hot, but not TOO hot. Give her a 'cool' haircut and black clothes (shows picture of Shirley Manson circa 1995). Sarcastic but secretly lovable. And she just can't be complicated and smart w/o a reason - so let's give her a genius older brother!"
It's never, ever a genius older sister.
There's something so...'by the book' about this series. Nothing ground-breaking. Don't get me wrong - it's entertaining; but I don't see the DVD sales and fansites blowing everyone away.

but i feel like Ben Bowler (?) farscape, SG1 9&10, would be a much warmer fit for the male lead agent.

Browder FTW! And yes he would indeed be good. Trivia: He was in Memphis Belle.

Imagine how much more like-able Lost's Jack would be if the character was played by Browder.
