Sounds to me that this character could be in a reality of his own. Why tie it into Nancy Drew?

I agree, It really could.

I don't think Nancy Drew and Tom Swift inhabit the same literary universe. So why do it on TV?

Yeah, Tom Swift has no connection to Nancy Drew books at all, I looked online, and no relation at all according to wikipedia. The success of Tom Swift books paved the way for other Stratemeyer creations, such as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew.

So this crossover really makes no sense.
Just have Tom Swift in his own show, I say.

This makes no sense at all then. Just trying to cash in on the success of Nancy Drew to get people to watch that show.

It appears so. They are just trying to get Nancy Drew fans to tune in, and hopes this will create hype around this new show.

If the show has no connection to Nancy Drew, they it should stand on its own.
No backdoor pilots, please.

Agreed, and CW has a bad track record of backdoor pilots, they normally don't even get picked up.
I'd rather this show stand on its own, then force a backdoor pilot and this Tom Swift into the Nancy Drew season arcs and episodes, when they might drag down what we're more interested in.

*cough* that SPN vampire thing *cough*
Take time away from the leads to show a bunch of no-name characters that no one cares about. Gee, how could that have missed!
When I watch Nancy Drew, I watch to see Nancy and the Drew Crew. No one else.

Exactly right, thinking of that. Different to Wayward, where we knew the characters well for years.
I hate when they do that, it doesn't serve any purpose. Same here, those are the characters we fans care about.
I might have to skip over the backdoor pilot, if it is a filler episode, and I know when/what episode it is.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that up until now I had never heard of Tom Swift... Has anyone here read the books?
