    You have the next low budget Netflix teen supernatural / fantasy / romance / horror / drama / latest ripoff of BtVS right there. Either filmed in England and set in England or filmed in Canada, but set in the US.

    Got to get some unknown but super hot gen Zer to play the dragon boy… Who obviously is a normal hot boy who shapeshifts into a dragon. He’s either orphaned and doesn’t know he’s a dragon and is “Why are these weird things happening to me? Oh god I’m a monster!! Better not talk to my friends about this cuz they might reject me!” OR, he’s like the black sheep of his super rich dragon family, hanging out with and dating humans while his dragon parents are all super judgy about it. He either has a hot dragon sister who tries to sabotage his relationships and is mean and condescending to everyone only to turn out to be an actually pretty cool person in season 2 when she ends up dating the <highschool quarterback / nerdy head of the science club / nerdy film club kid / possibly the youngish hot teacher if she’s older>. OR he has the aloof, loyal to the family, arrogant older dragon brother who turns out to be an actually pretty cool person in season 2 when he ends up dating the <highschool quarterback / gay best friend / grungy band kid>.

    Meanwhile the redhead girls are sisters who are actually <witch / vampire / werewolf / fairies> and are in a complicated will they / won’t they love triangle with the hot dragon boy (which wouldn’t be so complicated if the characters would just have honest, open conversations with each other instead of hiding from their feelings and lying to each other constantly about everything). They can’t be with the hot dragon boy anyway, because <contrived nonsensical reason that witch / vampire / werewolf / fairies can’t be with dragons>. In spite of that, their gay dads (who are concealing some terrible secret that’s not actually terrible and not actually that secret, but we won’t find that out until season 2 or 3) are super supportive of their romantic choices and just want them to be happy no matter what, in spite of the pressure they’re getting from the <coven / conclave / high council / fairy court> to make sure their daughters follow “the Code / Pact” and don’t fraternize with dragons (This could mean war with the dragons or something, or opening a portal to hell, or…who the fuck knows… The audience certainly doesn’t know why, and won’t find out until the season 1 finale, probably because filming started on the first five episodes before the writers figured out what it actually means).

    Whichever sister ends up with the dragon boy (probably not until halfway into season 2, you gotta milk these things as long as possible), the other sister will get a hot boy / girl toy as a consolation prize. That character is either a best friend / sidekick who has been there from episode 1 “just waiting for them to notice” OR is introduced in the first episode of season 2., in which case they’re either a totally normal mundane human (and wiley shenanigans will ensue to hide the supernatural world from them as long as possible) OR they appear to be a totally normal mundane human until the BIG REVEAL that they are a <demon / warlock / dragonslayer knight> working for / a sworn enemy of the <coven / conclave / high council / fairy court>.

    Anyway, pitch that at Netflix, they’ll probably make it.

    VOICEOVER: Captain’s log, star date 571.204. As we are unable to transport through the energy field, Commander Riker, Commander Data and I remain trapped on the strange asteroid, which continues to fall ever faster into the black hole. As we have no way out of our predicament, it seems we have no choice but to attempt to solve the strange murder of the mysterious hotel guest.

    PICARD (knocking on hotel manager’s door): Hello! Is there anyone in there! We demand to speak with the manager at once!

    ANNOYED VOICE: Go away! I’m busy!

    PICARD: Your guests are being murdered! If you are the manager of this place, that must matter to you!

    ANNOYED VOICE: Oh, very well. Come in, if you must.

    PICARD: Q! I should have known you were behind this!

    Q: Inspector Jean Luc. How nice of you to drop by. You have a warrant, I assume?

    Sure, that was overly broad. But I’ve got a BUNCH of tools in my garage and they’re fine, but my dad’s got a bunch of the same tools in his workshop he had when I was a kid, and they still work just as well now as they did in the 80s (I think his drill press actually used to belong to HIS dad and it’s never failed me). Also, his table saw and band saw rock. I remember using them to cut things for silly projects when I was a kid and I just used the table saw the other day… same saw, great results.

    My take was all centered around “solid” and “built to last”. I don’t have any faith that the tools in my garage will outlast his tools. Don’t see it happening. I think me inheriting his tools is more likely than my tools outlasting them.
