   Couldn't we at least get hybrids like "Criminal Minds meets X-Files"?   
   (There's actually an anthology book series that does that, though it's   
   closer to "Criminal Minds does Alphas".  It's called Shadow Unit, with   
   Emma Bull and Elizabeth Bear as editors.  A special bureau of the FBI,   
   some of whose members have psi powers,  secretly investigates   
   criminals with psi powers.  The series is very clearly structured as   
   television episodes.)
