Comic-Con: CBS' Intelligence is not the new Chuck

In Intelligence, Lost's Holloway stars as Gabriel Black, a man whose computer chip allows him to access every piece of information on the Internet through a program called Clockwork. Gabriel's skills make him a huge and expensive asset to the United States, which is why Lillian Strand (CSI's Marg Helgenberger), the head of U.S. Cyber Command, hires Agent Riley O'Neil (Once Upon a Time's Meghan Ory) to protect — or should we say babysit? — Gabriel.
