What Are You Watching On Tv At This Moment ?

Thoroughly enjoying burning through Project Blue Book.  It's everything that The X-Files reboot should have been.

 

Also attempting to catch up with Supernatural before the final season, but the Metatron and angel war storylines are a bit of a hard slog.

You can have a reformed werewolf sidekick as long as it's within your rules of your universe and doesn't stray too far from your genre.  Break those rules and readers/viewers will thud out of their willing suspension of disbelief quicker than you can say 'you've got to be kidding me!'  

 

For instance, establish your supernatural universe and have your PI be a warlock in an otherwise mundane and realistic 1980s Sheffield, just don't then set Rackhams on The Moor and have Atkinsons on Fargate.  Don't have your scientist work in a proper lab (and so with proper lab rules and expectations), then have it lit by mood lighting and stocked with random bottles, flasks and cylinders of brightly coloured liquids.  Look at this nonsense:

 

 

Another example: I read a tale a while back about a police detective in Edinburgh which was all a bit Frost, a bit Morse, a bit Dalziel and Pascoe.  Until the last few pages when it turned out that A DEMON DID IT! You've got to be fecking kidding me!'  Thud.  I love a good supernatural detective/crime/PI story (Dresden, Merrily Watkins et al), just don't spring one on me in chapter 58 when I think I've been reading Rebus-lite.

Talking of weird crimebusting etc have you ever seen the TV series Izombie?
