Summary: Nothing is all that simple with this couple, even something as simple as turning off a light. Thanks to sionnain for the beta! *hugs*

( Will you turn off that damned light? )

So, in an attempt to survive the summer TV hiatus after the briefest of teasers from BSG and only SYTYCD to sustain me with new episodes, I've started trying to catch up on DVD TV seasons I've purchased but never watched.

I'm also working my way through Doctor Who S4, but that's on the computer and I can't watch it on the big screen.

My first series? The extremely short-lived reimagining of Night Stalker, with Stuart Townsend as Carl Kolchak, reporter on a mission to investigate supernatural spookiness and find out who killed his wife in the process.

Executive Producer: Frank Spotnitz, formerly of the writing team at The X-Files.

I always love watching writers migrate to shows of a similar genre, because it shows the different ways they write their protagonists approaching the same situations under different circumstances as previous characters.

The X-Files: Mulder and Scully badge their way through to a crime scene.

Night Stalker: Kolchak and Reed stealth their way in through an emergency exit door after the forensics team has already collected their evidence.

The X-Files: Scully performs the autopsy herself on the strangely-murdered victims.

Night Stalker: One of the orderlies at the morgue (frequently bribed by Carl for info) calls Kolchak and prompts him to question the Coroner regarding the strange things found on the victim's body.

It's little things, y'know? I like it. That, and Stuart Townsend is just lovely to look at.

Only eight episodes of this show were ever made, continuing the trend of "If T watches the pilot and loves it, and continues watching it religiously, it is cancelled before the season is out." Thankfully, there have been a few wonderful exceptions to this (ie, Medium, Supernatural and Heroes to name a blessed few), but I still count it as a trend.

In those eight episodes, the eighth of which I'm still in the middle of watching, the crossover bug has bitten me so hard I'm going to need a tick-nipper thing to get it off my leg.

See, I've spotted two actors from Supernatural in these episodes (and one from Firefly, but he doesn't count so much) that really lend themselves to an NS/SPN crossover.

One of them is Larry from the "Hell House" pair - playing a college freshman working on the school paper, and hounds Kolchak about getting a job at his paper when he graduates.

The other? The actor who plays the Yellow-Eyed Demon - in this show, he plays a cop who runs afoul of a demon-possessed kid that threatens his son.

Also for consideration: Kripke's original vision of Supernatural was of a reporter who investigated otherworldy spookiness.

How does one resist these things??? The ideas are rattling around in my head now. If I only had a boss whose toxic nature didn't suck all my creative energy out of my soul, I could maybe get this stuff written.

For now, I shall note it for later.

BSG.

Oh holy wow...damn.

The show just keeps cranking up the wow.

Bravo, RTD and Co. Amazing stuff.

Watched it this morning...hm.

Of course, now I have Carnivale/TW crossovers in my head.
