Baptiste was a great recurring character and I'm hoping that he'll be back again before the end of this season. Human Target is a good show that just needs to find it's audience.
Human Target: Season 2 on FOX - Discussion & Spoilers
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
She said she'll be in 11 of 13 episodes, so don't count on that too much.Janet Montgomery's name didn't appear in the opening credits of the last episode, so it looks like they're only paying her for the episodes she's in (like with Skinner in the last couple seasons of X-Files, or all the regulars on 24). So they can up the action when she's not there.
I'm hoping she strips down to her underwear again this season... 
I enjoyed the episode this week, but Ilsa Pucchi is proving to be the one character that always pulls me off the ride.
The "Let's-take-time-to-calm-Ilsa-down-because-we're-breaking-a-few-laws-to-fix-a major-problem" scenes are getting old.
She needs to realize her situation and adapt.
To be honest, other than a checkbook, I'm still trying to figure out what she brings to the team.
I miss FBI agent Emma Barnes & The Freelancing Hacker Chick Leila they brought in that suddenly disappeared from the first season (And now is the Scientist Side-kick on No Ordinary Family)

Well hacker chick is now super hot scientist who somehow can't get a date on No Ordinary Family. And who knows what happened to the FBI agent. New showrunner, completely threw away the Old Man cliffhanger out the window and solved the Winston cliffhanger in the first two minutes of season two, who knows what else they're trying to do.
I can't exactly fault him for trying to wrap up the cliffhangers quickly. Still, only two episodes in and I'm getting annoyed by Janel Montgomery fawning over Guerrero, in lieu of showing the audience his skills.
I can understand the network not wanting to show torture scenes at 8 PM, but surely getting to see the tackle box isn't asking too much?
Well that was a stupid episode. Plus it ended when they beat up all the bad guys?
When the father wanted blow by blow detail of the plan and where everyone was gonna be, I suspected something but they never went that direction.
Also, how does an awkward nerdy 16-year-old boy not take advantage of having someone that looks like Janet Montgomery following him around all day and night?

By knowing that they're awkward and nerdy and thus have no chance, and are better off never asking at all?
Why didn't they move the family to a safe house? Trying to protect a targeted family in their usual, known location, especially at night with all the light on? 
Taking the kid to the party ("what could go wrong?") was basic sitcom stupidity.
That aside, the rest of the ep was fun. And "It'll involve staples" was the funniest moment in ages!

I just don't like what they've done with the show. Miller's further attempts to turn it into Chuck. It's strange but it feels like Chance isn't even that involved anymore in the missions. Guerrero is a great character but they seem to be going totally for laughs with him instead of more menace.

Well, Chances's whole strategy is based on drawing the killers out rather than hiding his clients away indefinitely. He wants the assassins to show themselves so he can take them out, which usually involves using the clients as bait somehow.
Overall, I thought it was a fun Xmas episode.
"Is book club cancelled?"
Chance has spent a lifetime in some of the worst situations imaginable and he can't handle being an office temp? It was both interesting and out of character for the sake of some humor.
It does feel that way. I've also noticed a lot more Christmas TV movies this year.
Speaking as someone who's worked in cubicle hell for 30 years, it IS worse than being shot at and dropped out of an airplane.
More like he's at least used to being shot and dropped out of airplanes. Working in an office was completely out of his comfort zone . . . .

Hence the show's name "Human Target" (a very different reason than why the comic was called Human Target. In the comic, Chance would disguise himself as the client and take their place.)
