How about Nick Night (GWD) as Captain of the 96th's night shift?

Ther is that.
Wasn't season 3 practically a reboot? My understanding is that USA wan't a
younger demographic: hence, Vachon and Tracy. (Although to be fair, while
some people disliked the new characters, others loved them.)

As a human married to Nat that would be wonderful. Other wise he wouldn't be as
to stay that long in one ace.

I've always pictured Seattle as a new location, mostly because it has that
large tower similar to the one in Toronto. The Toronto (Post Office?) tower
was iconic. Although, interestingly, I belive that Blood Ties was also set
in Toronto and you almost never saw the Tover.

They all want the same thing only different; same actors/characters but new
stories that essential follow the same plot line. They confuse 'new' with
'different'.

Was "Moonlight" that one starring the guy who now stars on the reboot of
Hawaii 5-0? As much as the obvious take-offs on Forever Knight kind of
annoyed me, there were some things I liked, and I thought it had
potential. They never seemed to figure out just where they wanted to go
with that show, though.

If a reboot was done, I'd like it to stay in Toronto. I'd like to see
the actors continue in their roles, but I know that wouldn't happen.
Unfortunately everyone ages and changes, plus they move on to other things.
I liked Vachon, Tracy, Urs and Screed. I've read a lot of Fan Fiction
that combined everyone in stories and I thought they were great.
