There’s a new show on CBS called Flashpoint. It’s about hostage negotiators and snipers.
Now… I’m into negotiation, so you’d think that I’d love this show. I mean sure, the technology is cool – I wouldn’t mind having someone assist every now and again with a voice in my ear while I’m in the middle of a negotiation… but the rest of the show just drags on.
To be honest, I was hoping for a little less talky-talky and a little more shooty-shooty.
Amen Brotha! I thought I’d totally dig that show too since I love that crap. Sadly, being the eternal optimist, I still watch it (well, DVR style) hoping that more actual shots are fired. 🙂
Well Jeff, if I need to hire someone to negotiate me out of a bad deal, I don’t think I’d want any shooty-shooting.
No offence!
I like Flash Point, it’s derived from real life situations and made into great TV viewing, something that’s rare these days.
No offense taken.
But I would think that there’s a pretty big difference between contract negotiations and hostage negotiations. 😉
