* HowUnscientific: The series was usually squarely in the MundaneFantastic camp, with Louis' precognitive flashes as the single fantastic element. However, in one very out-of-character episode, a mysterious, befuddled old man found wandering the streets of Toronto and claiming to be an alien actually turns out to ''be'' an alien, complete with anti-gravity levitation powers and a laser battle with hostile reptilian aliens in a Toronto park.
