It all sounds interesting. I'm looking forward to this one myself. Can't wait to see what's in store and who and what we will see pop up.
Announcing STAR TREK: DTI and other CLB news
- Thread starter Christopher
- Start date
Haha. I seem to recall someone once worked out that an address for Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, as mentioned on "I Love Lucy", put their apartment building in the East River.
Lots of shows use fictional addresses, for the same reasons they use fictional phone numbers (with the 555 exchange). Or fictional police precincts. The reason Barney Miller, the WB's Tarzan from a few years back, and Castle are all set at Manhattan's 12th Precinct is that it doesn't really exist. Or it used to, but hasn't for a long time.
I could've sworn Barney Miller was set at the 13th Precinct...
^Nope. It was the 12th.

Another "go-to" fictional entity used by a lot of shows and movies is Oceanic Airlines -- a name that was popularized by Lost, but that predated it by years, showing up most prominently in the movie Executive Decision and in various shows that borrowed stock airliner footage from that movie.

As to the continued popularity of the 12th Precinct, at least one of the characters in "Blue Bloods" is assigned there.
I can go with that.
No. Its "present-day" portions take place between Destiny and Typhon Pact.
Thank You for this suggestion. I'm not the biggest Who fan in the world, but have always enjoyed the songs picked for the various CSI series. When this was suggested, I had never heard it before, but on an act of faith in this board, I downloaded this onto my phone...and I LOVE IT! I think it's perfect music to "open" DTI!!
I CANNOT wait for this book, but since I have to, listening to this tune in the meantime is a PERFECT way to make the time go by faster! It is a TON of fun imagining the kind of opening montage from DTI that would be accompanied by this music...I can just see Dulmer and Lucsly running around investigating temporal anomalies and then interacting with the other characters that Christopher is going to come up with to fill out the DTI. And it will be even more fun to actually read the book when it comes out now, with this playing as I read! Thanks again! 
Actually my title-theme ideas for DTI would tend more in this direction:

Of the two, I'd lean more towards Dragnet.
