And speaking of Paul Giamatti

It seems fairly obvious why SCI FI would want to run this up the flagpole before commissioning a ful series: It's a deeply weird show. It's dark, it's strangely hilarious and offhand about the grimmest things, and it's got demons and vampires and, well, a secret-agent/superhero consisting of a detached metal head.

I've only seen the online version, which makes me wonder whether the slight chop in the animation is because the frame rate's been downsampled for the online version, or the original looks that way too. It takes a little getting used to, but ultimately, it reminded me of Peter Chung's herky-jerky Aeon Flux style. Except that the deadpan, off-the-wall humor is a little closer to The Tick.

Anyway, check it out, and let SCI FI know what you think, so they can decide whether it's worth producing more of this show, or they should just sink all their capital directly into more Battlestar Galactica.
