fox_standoff. I'm going out on a limb here, experimenting with having a default icon portraying someone of my own, you know, actual gender. Crazy, but worth a shot, I think. Also: Emily is pretty, and Emily is from Standoff.
I've been meaning to pimp Standoff (Tuesdays at 8 on Fox! Sometimes! Depending on American Idol and 24! Or watch it on the official website for free, whenever you like!) since I started watching it, which was ... when it premiered. In September. So... three months, maybe three and a half?
Here is what you need to know:
Ron Livingston is an FBI hostage negotiator.
Gina Torres is his boss, who used to be his partner.
Ron Livingston's character is sleeping with his female partner (hi, Emily!) but the relationship's not really obtrusive throughout the show, and they're more likely to spend an episode fighting or being tense with each other than making kissy faces.
Michael Cudlitz, the designated Competent Blond Guy With a Big Gun (and therefore inevitably kind of my favorite) is... a competent blond guy with a big gun; also, randomly vibey with Ron Livingston's character. (Also, yes, he played Bull in Band of Brothers, where Ron Livingston played Nixon; it's a reunion! Only now nobody gets trench foot! So far, anyway!)
What's that, you say? Yeah, it sounds nice? Okay! On to the show!
This introduces most of the recurring characters, and gives you pretty much the setup for the entire show. There hasn't been much (okay, any) arc-type continuity so far, so at this point you could pretty much sit down and watch any given episode of the show and not get lost.
This is the beginning of the third episode; the "Will we admit that we're really-for-real together and try to keep working as partners anyway?" 'suspense' only lasted through the second episode, so now Matt and Emily are officially Out. To everyone's great amusement.
Because really, what's cuter than a little hip-check?
And, what? Now you want to know where the slash is? Over at the Yuletide archive, of course! Written for meeeeeeee! One Up is pre-series Frank/Matt and you want to go read it right now. Yes you do. Go!
