Does Commander West trust Nolan?Overall, Standoff was a good return episode. After the huge fall finale cliffhanger, there were big shoes for this show’s next episode to fill and while it wasn’t as emotionally impactful, it still had a lot of thrilling, edge-of-your-seat action. With this type of show so early in its run, it’s impossible to know how safe a character is so the situation from this week brought the stakes to an all-time high.

After back-to-back very intense episodes, I expect the next few to be more character-centric episodic stories and with how this show has progressed so far, I’m not mad with that.Score: 8.5/10What did you think of “Standoff”?
