TV Show: Standoff 07/20/07

So was last Friday night’s episode of Standoff the end? I only now got a chance to watch it because we taped it. I only see movies on fox for the next few Fridays. Well I guess it is over. FOX I hate you. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. FOX is horrible. Forget the fact that they have been airing commercials non stop for their new show called New Amsterdam that I really want to watch but out of respect for the show I will not watch it until it survives a whole year, because I know if I do watch it the suits at FOX will cancel it. The reason I am interested int his show is that it approaches the theme of a vampire from a different direction. Are vampires inherently evil and soulless in this series? The guy who is the main character doesn’t look tortured and he is a cop. What makes a vampire become a cop. It probably won’t be for redemption because we have seen that already with Angel. Who knows, I won’t untill the year is over.

As for Standoff I will miss this show. I liked the characters and the humor as well as the action scenes, I never took the show too seriously and you really can’t with a show like this, all glitzy and glam for the life of the negotiators. I was hooked from the first episode with Tom Wopat as a guest star. The chemistry of the characters was good and I liked seeing Gina Torres back on the air.

Of course my favorite part of last night’s episode was when Reggie comes out of the house with his machine gun and Frank takes him out at the knees. Reggie is incredulous and pleadingly asks Frank, “You shot me?” and Frank says, “Yes I did.” Frank as a character came across as a jerk at first and I am glad to see him used more in the series. Too bad the show has been canceled. FOX you suck.
