Notes

add »
The whole intangible ghost who contacts a specially-sighted person and learns to channel his frustration/desire to affect the real world borrows heavily from the movie Ghost. Henri Lubatti, who plays the bad guy here, even looks like Tony Goldwyn, who played the bad guy in Ghost. (edit)
Jenna Lyn Ward and Roland Gibbons (Patricia and Jimmy Parker) are seen in a photo but don't appear. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Frank: Yeah, baby! I did it. Brought it right back where she started from.
(Donovan, Olga and Talmadge run past him.)
Frank: What...no hug? (edit)
Olga: You're a very good dancer.
Frank: Really?
Olga: No. (edit)
Mentnor: It is possible that a sort of metaphysical DNA pattern exists that survives our three-dimensional selves
Ballard: Why, Dr. Mentor, I think that's the closest I've ever heard you come to making an out-and-out spiritual statement. (edit)
Frank: (trying to psych himself up) C'mon, Parker, what really pisses you off?
Olga: Engage, Mr. Parker!
Frank: Ramsey! Ramsey, Ramsey, Ramsey! (edit)
Barney: I seen plenty of spy movies before I lost my sight. Some poor sucker does someone a favor, next thing you know they're laying in a field with begonias growing out of their ass! (edit)

Trivia

add »
Nobody seems to be worried about what Frank was sent back to do. Since he only gets sent back to thwart a crisis, shouldn't they raise an alert or something? (edit)
If Olga's room was a restricted area like the plaque said near her door, how did Freddie just walk right in with no problem? (edit)
Doesn't Frank take a microchip back with him? Or even leave a note in the Sphere? Why can't they use that to find out about the mission? (edit)
How did the intangible Frank take off his intangible suit? And where did it end up? (edit)

Parkergeist
"Unoriginal"
Complete re-hash of the 1990 movie, Ghost, starring Partrick Swayze and Demi Moore.
