Ebert's File/Interesting Stuff

PAGE

The below info was taken from posts made to the scifi.com Bboard made

by Eberts (Mike McCafferty).

So when "I" appears in the posts its Eberts speaking, not me.

And all of the Eberts files are in order of episodes aired.

IT HURTS WHEN YOU DO THIS

* Nothing to report

THE OTHER INVISIBLE MAN

* The rap was fabulous. Craig sent Vince a tape of himself doing the rap. At the end Craig pauses then simply ends

it with "Word." A bright, witty writer that we are lucky to have.

* You want a blooper? In the scene in the keep where I tell Darien that The Official is doing fine, I'm supposed to

exit right after Hobbes enters. In one take, Hobbes enters with the agents, but before I could leave, the door

closed. Since I was stuck in the Keep I did everything I could to play it off and look for an escape route.

Meanwhile Shannon is looking at me and wondering what's goin on and trying not to laugh. Finally, 45 seconds

into the scene Josh yells "Cut! Mike, weren't you supposed to leave?" At which point Shannon, Myself and several

others broke out laughing.

* We do at last find out a little nugget about Eberts. His past somehow involves the IRS. Figures. We also see that

he's pretty much lost with out the Official. It was cut, but I did have a scene where I just stared at the Official's

chair. We do at last find out a little nugget about Eberts. His past somehow involves the IRS. Figures. We also

* The original location of my lair was scrapped because the building contained asbestos. The agency hallway

doubled for it.

* The African-American agent (Whose name escapes me as I type) is an accomplished stunt man. you've seen his

bone-jarring flips in "Jerry McGuire" as Cuba Gooding Jr's football double and "Any Given Sunday" as Jamie

Foxx's. Nice guy and very talented. It was just hard to believe that we're the same age and our body are...well

different.

REUNION

* The graveyard sequence was filmed at Mt. Hope cemetary. I can't tell you hope creepy it was to be grave digging

at midnight in a cemetary. This is the second of four episodes coming up to feature a cemetary.

* How did Vince know when to start talking in between his narration? Our script supervisor, Mimi sat in a corner of

the room off camera and read the lines. They were later replaced with Vince's V.O.

* Now about that headstone: I remember standing there in the graveyard and looking at the headstone of Kevin. I

asked 'Props Josh' (of joshdotcom fame) if this was the same headstone from the pilot. He didn't think so but

added that it was made at the same place. I told him at the time that if the dates were wrong, the fans would pick it

up. You're all just too clever. Sure enough, you did. Two days ago I talked to Josh and he said that it was the Art

department that created the headstone. Now please keep in mind that the pilot was shot over a year ago and by

different crew. That said though, I'm hoping some inventive person out there can come up with a plausable

explaination of this headstone swtich. Anyone who does will definitely get an official 'Eberts thank you' and a

possible pay raise from the agency.

* Arnaud is back! I have to say that for a guy surrounded by grenades at the end of the pilot, he sure looked good in

this episode. But like all good villians, you can never quite kill them.
