You know, I recognise both of these actors! I'm a total sucker for old-school comic book type heroes and the IM has such interesting history to him but this is a total reboot, obviously. I like what they did with the chemicals and the madness (and his need for a Counteragent). It's somewhat similar to something in one of my video games (part of the Metal Gear series) how what makes you stronger WILL kill you, eventually. Tragic but dramatic, too. Bobby Hobbes is reminding me of Stark from Farscape (who was also paired with Crichton but Crichton/Aeryn were one of my big time ships), what with the crazy but hardcore friendship. :)

I have to say that Allianora is GORGEOUS. So she's a siren with crazy abilities and this is somehow less viable than the IMan's? She's as much a victim of what is going on as Darien, isn't she? If she chooses strength over the bitching and moaning and endless why me, well heck, I love her just for that, lol. But serious WTF about the creator who hates her?! How can anyone create a character they hate? So is the fandom based mostly here in America or the UK?

Watching Vincent Ventresca go through the whole range of emotion is just amazing, and Paul Ben-Victor is just as good. If you ever find yourself with some extra time on your hands, I'd recommend getting this and spending 42 wonderful episodes with The Agency.

Yes, she is, and I love her muchly. She's known as the Mermaid, a.k.a. Aquamama. And, yes indeed, WTF at the writer. He wanted to create a character with vampiric powers, but apparently TPTB, didn't want to go that route; they wanted a beautiful woman instead. Hee, Fawkes is often all "Why me?" :) But I love him too! ♥ Go and find the show! Wait no more! Not seeing is believing!

The show is long gone, it was on in 2000, I think, and I wasn't involved with the fandom then. I came in when it was all over, but the virtual season was going strong. There were fans from all over the world. It seems to have died out, but every once in a while I hear some news about the fans trying to get some sort of a reunion film going.
