yeah I laughed at that hooker joke too. Like I said, just a fun show: rolling planes upside down, making parachutes to jump off the back of a bullet train--crazy!
I love Jackie Earle Haley as Guerrero. How a hacker guy who's that diminutive, with those chipmunk front teeth, who never resorts to physical violence, can be that --scary--is amazing. I like the way he can be funny one moment---"Dude they have these on school buses" referring to their attempts to use the paddles to shock that guy's heart. Then, he can say something like "I have experience putting guys in situations like this" referring to a dude dying of poison. or, when he told the two muscleheads sent to beat him up "I'll take the beating, sure. Then I'll break into your house and kill you in your sleep", and proceeded to detail all their personal biz, letting them know he could find them and their loved ones--wow! No wonder this guy was nominated for an Oscar a couple of years ago. And to think he started with "The Bad News Bears"! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aubrey Leatherwood" <aubrey.leatherw...@hotmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 8:09:38 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Liking "Human Target" Glad you guys are enjoying it. last week I enjoyed Guerrero's persistent question to the two criminals he was working with "Say you had a key that would unlock every thing, would you take it?" The things you can do with a question. Last night's episode was my favorite so far though. Not a lot of Guerrero action but it made me laugh a lot...

I was going to skip the show because of work and an overloaded VCR, but I pulled up the recordings I had of the first two weeks and had a really good time! Like you said, it's pretty lighthearted. You never go too far into fear mode because you know the principals and their clients will all make it out safely. But it's a kick, with just enough drama and good acting to be engaging, and really good action to boot. I like that Chance sometimes really has to work in a fight: no quick karate chops for him! The lady tonight gave him a hell of a fight, and I was laughing as she was throwing roundhouse kicks in heels and that red hooker dress! The main three actors are all excellent, and I like the guest stars too. I know this show is probably nowhere near as serious as some incarnations of the comic, maybe resembling in name only, but still fun. It reminds me of the breezy, act ion-packed shows of old like "Eye Spy", "The Avengers", or "The Man from U.N.C.L.E", or modern far like "Burn Notice". Too bad it's on Fox. Like I said recently, all the best shows seem to be on cable, so I gotta wonder how long the network will let it go if it doesn't do killer ratings. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aubrey Leatherwood" <aubrey.leatherw...@hotmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 17, 2010 9:38:37 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Was that Danny Glover? Warning... It's... *fluffy* but I enjoyed the action, the auxiliary characters (my fav is Guerrero, of course, but we've had many conversations about Jackie Earle Haley's awesomeness on this loop and the character really suits him) and Chance has the right amount of low-brow Bond-esque moxy.
