on notice: scenarios. but other stuff too.

Which improbable scenario, when applied to a fandom that is supposed to be set in reality (such as a crime show), is WORSE?

If we're talking about a fandom that's supposed to be all about gritty realism, the magical randomness bothers me more. But since I spend a lot of time in fandoms where that kind of crack can be pulled off pretty easily, I'm generally more annoyed by the sekrit hustler thing.

...and now I'm stuck thinking about a story where someone is secretly a centaur and nobody's noticed. :D

Yeah, this question applies specifically in the context of reality-based fandoms. Obviously, they're not equally unlikely in a world open to the supernatural.
