Probably very cool in person, but recaptured for the screen and broadcast, the magic is somewhat lost in translation... (Not to mention the fact that the face is what makes a talking head interesting -- the rest of it really doesn't play; And to use a hologram like that takes attention from the substance and hangs it on the form. That said we'll see it again I'm sure!) Definitely a bit creepy! Probably very cool in person, but recaptured for the screen and broadcast, the magic is somewhat lost in translation…
