Sure, what panopticonartist said is all true. Someone with a special power is recruited or whatever by the authorities to help solve crime. It's still a fun premise, especially for those who enjoy superpowers. At least they don't have to fight aliens from another dimension. I mean, why is Superman a cool idea? So that he can fight all the super-weird guys from other dimensions, or planets, or timelines, or who have been bitten by a different radioactive bug?
No! Superman is fun because he embodies what we would do for good with that power. All of these super-villians are a boring distraction. But these superheros, Castle, The Mentalist, Bones are using their powers for what any of us would do with such.
And so, even though it hasn't found the right tone yet, I hope it does. It's a fun idea. What scripts would you write.
You know what I'd write? Since his brother and him are identical in looks, its horrible that his brother take all the bad. Write an episode where they changes places. They can do it. He could escape if he wanted, especially since they look a lot a like. Then the other guy could be on the outside for a while. I wonder if that episode is coming up?
