O'Quinn/Emerson Project

[Otis McNutt 395]

Actors Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson (John Locke and Ben Linus of LOST) are looking for ideas for a new television show the two can star in. I thought it would be fun if Hyrule.net came up with ideas for these two venerable actors.

Here's mine...

Jim Straight (Emerson) is a "By-the-Book" detective who is smart, gifted and a little bit clumsy...

Roger Lace (O'Quinn) is a gruff detective who plays by his own rules.

As partners these two unorthodox detectives became the go-to guys in the department, but that was 20 years ago.

Now retired, the two are called back into work when "The Switchman" a serial bomber returns. Now these two cops must put aside a two decade grudge and work together to catch the one who got away.

Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson are "Straight-Laced"

I see it as a Dramedy (comedy drama) that shows what happens to the typical "buddy cops) after they retire.

how are people supposed to go about proposing these ideas?

"D.O.U.M"

Retired Insurance Investigator Frank Mathers (O'Quinn) and Police Crime Scene Investigator William Drake (Emerson) are recruited into D.O.U.M (Division of Obscure Miscellanea) a secret division of the Homeland Security that monitors and tracks all manner of Aliens and monsters that exist in our world.

It's "Fringe" meets "Warehouse 13" with a little "Primeval" and "Ghostbusters" thrown in.

These are all nice and all, but how do we submit ideas to the people?

You can't really. I just thought it would be enjoyable to come up with Tv show ideas.
