There's a new character joining the world of Twitch's 'Artificial' in Season 3 'Artificial: Remote Intelligence'. Legendary actor Dante Basco has joined the show as a new character Zander, an old friend and arch-rival of Sebastian (Stephen A Chang).

The character was designed by the audience in the show's second worldbuilding episode. And the fans in the comments section had a lot to say about the new character. "Flamboyant and Superstitious... that's quite an interesting character design," one fan wrote.

"Controlling sucks because Sebastian already kind of is," another fan pointed out. That's one point that a lot of fans seem to have a problem with. "Controlling is kinda the least interesting," a fan wrote. "I'm confused about who would vote for controlling. That was the most boring option," another fan commented.

Another interesting trait that the audience decided on was that Zander is a medium. It's his main hobby and that raises some interesting possibilities. "Mediums can sense spirits or souls, right? Would he be able to tell whether Lillith has a soul?" One fan asked.

The audience could also decide what catchphrase Zander would use and a lot of the fans wanted him to go with "wink wink". Ultimately, the one that won was "No intelligence is artificial" but the Wink Wink Gang is still going strong.

"How is he not acknowledging 'wink wink' as a catchphrase?" One fan asked. In all fairness, Basco did acknowledge it later and say he liked the idea, even if it wasn't the one that eventually won.

"Aye but DANTE WINK FOR US WHEN U SAY THAT CATCH PHRASE," a fan demanded.

In any case, the fans are really excited about Dante Basco joining the show and many are already celebrating. One enthusiastic fan declared, "Dude!! You were awesome in everything I saw you in! I loved you in Fist of the North Star and American Dragon! You're AWESOME!!"

Basco's new character won't be appearing immediately but he will most certainly make his debut on the show soon. And we're going to be eagerly waiting to see when that happens.

'Artificial: Remote Intelligence' streams on Thursdays at 6 pm PT / 9 pm ET on Twitch.
