* ActingForTwo: Several actors play counterpart characters from the different dimensions; Jet Li plays both protagonist and antagonist, plus a few additional ones that we see getting killed off. Each character is significantly different from the other; Creator/CarlaGugino plays Gabe's loving wife and Yulaw's rather trampy-looking consort. [[spoiler: She also plays his wife's BackupTwin in another universe.]]
