my guess is he figured Tiger was the best possible partner for Barnaby because he was kind of a screwup.
Oh, that's very true! I completely forgot that he was the one who'd engineered that, somehow. I think I'm going to be rewatching from the beginning once the show ends just to watch that progression. (For the record, I distrusted Maverick at the beginning, but when he was quiet for episodes upon episodes I just kind of shrugged and dismissed him… just as he was about to get his epic reveal as main villain. :Db so I definitely want to watch again knowing my suspicions weren't unfounded and see what changes.)
Haha, I do love that I started watching regularly just as the series moves to the tense phase of "every ending is a complete cliffhanger," though. Can it be next week yet?!
