STANDOFF - Opinions ?
This week's ep with the sniper was awesome i thought!
As long as they don't overly focus on the relationship rubbish, this show rocks. They seem to be coming up with some really cool and unique hostage scenarios.

I've been liking this show, of course that's in part to Ron Livingston being in it, but I like the whole cast
I haven't seen the sniper episode yet, but from what I read at another site it was some unbeleivably long shot for the type of rifle being used

just watched it
800 yard shot with an AR with a red dot sight (which is what was actually on the gun, regardless of the sight picture they showed) which at most would have been 1.5 or maybe 2x and likely 2-4MOA (meaning at 100 yards the dot would cover an area of 1in on the target, so at the 800 yards of the shot it would be covering 8-16inches or more) is total bullshit
the bullet drop alone at that range would have made the fbi guy need to put the sight above the bad guy, likely far enough above to have the bad guy be completely out of the sight picture
the bad guy needed to say "nice shot" before dying, like in a multiplayer FPS

I finally dropped this show after the hospital episode. It's not a horrible show, but it's just not good enough to keep watching. I figured it was finally time to make some cuts in my packed viewing schedule and if a show isn't really entertaining me that much, it was time to go. I do love Ron Livingston but it was just not a good role for him. I hope this show gets cancelled and he could do more of an offbeat comedy. Maybe Peter Gibbons could be hired as a new employee at the Scranton Branch.
