I shared the squinty opinion of the pilot ep of Standoff. The second was better. And the third was better by several notches, since it offered Gina more room to play, a juicy bit of backstory fueling some conflict. It could really be a good show with Tim at the helm.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

I thought it was getting better, too, Beverly. But last night's ep was...not so good. It was like a really interesting idea gone horribly wrong.

It's still on the dvr, unwatched.
I will live in hope that Tim rescues it.

What is even happening?
I suppose I'll watch anything if Tim writes it, but I'm not going to be racing to download previously aired episodes to get the backstory.Yeah, 'cause Tim might kill everyone and start fresh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No killing of Ron and Gina!
