Human Target - anyone watching?

 I haven't watched all the episodes of Human Target.. there were DVR conflicts but  they are up on Hulu so I'm going to catch up.

At first I wasn't so thrilled but then I tried it some more and liked the Monastary episode and the archeologist in the jungle episode. I don't know the episode numbers or titles.

But I  like it for being a kind of 45 minute action movie with some MacGuyvery moments thrown in and I also like Gurrero -- actually his portrayal of Rorschach was about the only thing I liked in Watchmen--the whole fact he is shady and can scare the shit out of anyone using a normal conversation I like.  Honestly I don't really care about Chance what's his names mysterious past that haunts him. I like the fights and the explosions and the over the topness.

I also just bought Season 4 of Supernatural in Blu ray and realized I staill haven't watched Season 3 dvds. I am starting on that this weekend.  

So anyone want to talk Human Target?

I do like the way that we're hearing more about Chance's backstory. It's kind of interesting, and I really liked the conversation with Baptiste in the train station (side note: as a DC resident that is NOT how the Rosslyn metro station looks, but props for them not inventing a Georgetown station, and actually getting the next station name right).

They also dropped some interesting breadcrumbs, like Chance's choice of name, the "old man", etc.

I watched the latest episode and also episode with the ADA. The episode that introduced the FBI chick from Baptiste doesn't seem to be online to watch, so I'll have to find that out.

I'm not all that invested in finding out too much about Chance's past right away, I like the dropping of hints in Baptiste -- it definitely implied that there is a lot more history and story behind it. I'm hoping the backstory comes out slowly. There still hasn't been a lot of information about kathryn (or at least I don't think there is). I'm glad the writers seem to be going with bits of backstory coming out in conversations between characters rather than trying to wedge in exposition.

And now I'm more intrigued by Guerrero --- with Baptiste's threat.
