Showtunes, a gay lover, ballroom dancing... Something to make him a little less of a cartoon character is desperately needed. He makes negotiator chick seem well rounded. Or kill them both. That works too.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

I think maybe computer chick is going to get out from behind her computer... for the first and last time. Or maybe, since Tim hasn't been there long, they'll do the stereotypical thing and add a character to kill.
I have no idea why I whitefonted, because it's a complete guess. I have absolutely no idea what they're going to do.

Under the heading of "Some People Juggle Geese," MSN TV has named Rosemarie DeWitt as one of the Fall TV Hotties. My incredulity stems less from RDW herself and more from their explanation:
Even in the midst of tense negotiations on "Standoff," Rosemarie DeWitt manages to stay cool, all while getting in some playful teasing with co-star Ron Livingston.

Happy Birthday, Kristen!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Sorry, it looks like I misinterpreted Fox's promo for Standoff.
Even though they flash SOMEONE DIES on the screen, it was meant to be hypothetical.
Darn.

Who? moi??
Don't worry Tom, Tim will take care of that.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Sorry, it looks like I misinterpreted Fox's promo for Standoff.
They do that all the time over here. The promo is big and ominous and makes it sound like a series regular is about to head off for the Big Sleep but in the end it is a Redshirt who bites the big one.

Will Tim have lead-killing discretion based on the consulting producer title? I thought that sort of thing tended to be a showrunner (or network) decision...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think, and could be totally wrong, that Tim has as much say in things as he would on Angel, if, say, he came back to the show after Jeff Bell became Executive Producer. He'd be a consulting producer. Like, he'd be Bell's peer, not so much a subordinate, but would defer to Jeff because A) it's polite, B) Jeff was a good man/boss/showrunner, and C) Tim's not a jerk.
Could be wrong about all of the above except B, and possibly C, because Tim forgot my birthday this year so he gets 10 points deducted from his rank on the Allyson's Favorite People List.
DUDE. SEND A FREAKIN CARD.
Where was I? Pulling thoughts out of my ass? Oh yeah. So, yes, even if he was an Executive Producer, my assumption is he'd have to get that approved by the studio since he'd essentially be firing a principal actor.
As usual, I'll defer to Tim about what his job is, because hell if I know.

Your birthday's in March. Did he remember Kristen's birthday is the thing...you know, the thing that could get loudly announced on timminear.net.
