* PlayingWithCharacterType: In "Zig Zag", Creator/FrankWhaley seems to be playing the usual nebbish character he became famous for in TheNineties due to his youthful "whitebread" looks. However, in this episode it's just a fake persona for a bold cyberterrorist who is using it to mask his ''real'' status as TheChessmaster.
