I got busy on a 4-day weekend and missed this. Does anyone know if they are going to reair the pilot between now and Wed?
Human Target: "Pilot" 1/17/10 - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
The pilot repeats tomorrow (Tuesday). New episode airs on Wednesday, the regular night for the show.
I thought that "American Idol" would be occupying Wednesdays at 8 PM for the next few months.
I don't know about Jan 27. But on Wednesday Jan 20 it will be Idol at 8 PM, followed by Human Target at 9 PM. The schedule could change in later weeks.
It was better than I thought it would be.
The bald waiter bad guy seem to obvious, but when the husband showed uo with out hi tie you knew it was him.
"Six" should have kicked him in the 'Nards' instead of slapping him.
Also thought there was a touch of MacGyver in there with the way they got off the train.
I didn't know Jackie Earl Haley was in this show I thought he'd retired or something. he certainly hasn't aged well.( he's less than two months older than me, by his looks in this show I'd of said 8 years)
but hey he's the new Freddy Krueger

Snoooore. Didn't even make it to the California Zephyr part of the story. Very very very freakin' generic. Why did they even bother?
Compare it with 24, which it led into:
The show is being moved to post-Idol timeslot. I think they're giving this dog better placement than it merits.
That means that they got a bad demo, for starters. 10M viewers should translate to a higher 18-49 demo. This show appeals to kids and grannies and the advertisers don't care. Sunday is a big viewing night so maybe they cast their net wide and got a lot of garbage fish.

Not too many more viewers, but much better demo. Much more in line with expectations.

Wed 8pmEST/7 Central will be the show's regular time starting on the 27th. They are using Idol to make sure it gets sampled by the widest possible audience.
Thought it was a fun show, thankfully without leaning on being too dark and gritty. I like the lead's attitude towards people hiding things or making mistakes.
One thing that irked me and I've seen it in many shows/movies, when you get shot while wearing a bulletproof vest, does it become so worthless you just throw it away?

Seriously?
That poor boy wasn't near cute as a kid and stayed away from "remotely cute" as he aged.
I thought he looks better now than he has for absolute decades. He needed to put a bit of weight on to smooth some of the thinness in his face and frame.
I'm happy for him that finally(!) he's being given a chance to act. Not many ex-child actors get a second chance--especially if they were never the "adorable" type.
Yeah, that was my thought.
Overall, I enjoyed the Pilot, in spite of the fact that they stripped all the cool bits that were in the 1992 Rick Springfield version...

It sure would be nice to have a DVD of that!

I put this off thinking it would suck after reading some reviews, but I have to say I really enjoyed it. I was totally down with the 80's humorous actiony thing they had going on, definitely a MacGuyver vibe.
Valley's cool. Chi is cool. Rorschach is cool. Tricia Helfer is friggin' awesome. I wish she was a even just a semi-regular. I don't get to see enough of her as it is.
Fun, funny, fast-paced, decent action and special effects, hot women, cool dudes, guns, splosions ... hope they can keep it up.

Oh, I used to watch that show! All I could remember about it was that cool flying wing HQ of theirs.
I love the new show. It's a lot of fun and has some great action scenes and dialogue, especially when Guererro is scaring the crap out of someone by not even raising his voice. Plus, it's nice to have Chi McBride back with the same sarcasm and wit that is his trademark. The beginning and ending clips from other assignments are fun (especially when they get big actors to do them), and it's great seeing so many scifi alumni on the show. The opening credits are very cool and Bear McCreary's music is fantastic as always. I'm interested in finding out about Chance's dark past which has been talked about in vague references over the past two episodes. The only thing I don't really care for is how Chance is one of those people who are literally an expert on almost everything.
