If it was the one with Fritz, not so stealth. They're doing an FBI spinoff for him.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

I hadn't known in advance that it was going to be a backdoor pilot, but I figured it out pretty quickly. Subtle, they're not. That said, it seems more promising than any of the other backdoor pilots I've seen recently - I already like Fritz, the stuff with the helicopters and fancy gadgetry was pretty cool, and when the blonde cop gets to be a character instead of a cardboard cutout, I thought she had potential.
edit: Although if it's FBI-specific that would lose the blonde and the gadgets...I still like Fritz?

I recognize the blonde from somewhere, but I couldn't figure out where. Liked the SWAT guys, too.

I haven't watched yet, but was it Andrea from Walking Dead?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The spinoff gets Andrea.

Andrea! I didn't recognize her all cleaned up and not fighting zombies....

Yeah, they spent a little too much time on that SWAT subplot for something not to be up. I was glad that they finally mentioned Brenda. Although I don't know that Fritz would be happy with bicoastal relationship. He would have plenty of opportunities in DC.

No, I don't see Fritz happy with a bicoastal relationship -- or Brenda, either. And I want them to be off-screen happy.

I stopped watching The Closer/Major Crimes a while ago because, for such a lightweight series, it had some disturbingly fascistic undertones. It sounds like it hasn't changed much.

I don't feel Major Crimes is a tonal extension of The Closer in any regards these days. They've also dialled down the "deal or nothing" they used to push so hard.
I'm really enjoying Perception now. I thought the mandatory helpful hallucination would get old, but he's getting better at handling them, and they're not quite as pointed or cheesy.
Graceland is a big mess, but I can't keep my eyes off it.
Suits is still the bomb.
