* BollywoodNerd: Actually predates the trope in popular culture. In reimagining Hadji for the first season, they moved him away from the quasi-mystical Indian stereotypes given in his origin works and portrayed him as computer literate and tech savvy... which dropped him square in the middle of a ''new'' Indian stereotype that quickly became prominent in the mid-to-late 90s.
