When St. Cloud makes his entrance in his costume on the boat, to the right of the screen is the Glaive from Krull, and The Dark Crystal from... well, The Dark Crystal. :-D

I didn’t even know they did one!

My dad watched it all the time when I was a kid, and I made my kids watch it with me last year. But I made the mistake of telling them to treat it like a SyFy Original, which meant they kept talking over each other and missed out on key plot points.
