Wicked digital "witch of the west" Romania?

Alex (Paul Nolan) belongs to a family of parents being ex-spies for the CIA. However, a nasty evil leader of an East European country with solicited help from a witch (Catherine Blythe) decides to capture them and squeeze out some info. Naturally, it is up to their son to rescue them. Only this is a big kid older than most teenyboppers are.While he is searching for his parents, he stays in a hostel. There is a coming-of-age cutie (Emmanuelle Vaugier) and an old dude that found a magical, digital rock as a kid assist him. Alex soon conveniently learns he can shapeshift.Can his shifty shapes and his cutie friend help him extricate his parents?What is the shifty witch really up to?Will he keep his new pet rock and/or the cutie?I know this is a pilot for a kid's series (probably to replace Alex Mac) but how dumb do you think kids are? Do not answer that. Believe me, kids would barf if you tried to feed them this pseudoscience, quasi-mystical (explicatory deleted.)Aside from this the acting, what acting? Well, where there should have been acting, they use fake Romanian accents. The witch looks like the cousin to the woman who narrates "Mystery Science Theater 3000."The props are just junk leftover from "Lost in Space" (the TV series). The story has no cohesion. They must be banking on the viewer having attention deficit disorder. Once again, we have a story where the kid is much cleverer than his catatonic parents are.
