"When you were following your dream to become a writer, did you ever think that someday you would be using it to crush the dreams of others?"
I don't know. I think there are better professions to follow if you want to crush dreams. Like teacher, or therapist, or network executive.

Those all require you to deal with people face to face.

Standoff actually got off to a start, ratings wise, off the back of House. 9 million odd viewers. However it's leaking audience quite badly. For once FOX actually launched a show properly, though.

What's 8.1? Last Tuesday, Standoff had a 5.1 with an 8% share.
