“You know, I always wondered what it would be like, you know, to grow up in the ‘burbs, with a normal family.” – Ames
“All I know is I’d rather be tortured, by, uh, well — by me, than ever have to go back there again. The suburbs blow.” – Guerrero
Put aside the fact that there were about a gazillion holiday episode cliches in tonight’s Human Target (yeah, yeah — Chance is The Grinch, we get it). Pretend you didn’t feel like you were watching Scarecrow and Mrs. King or Riptide (although does that mean Human Target has its awesome ’80s vibe back?). Forget for a moment that you weren’t yearning for the darker days of Christopher Chance and his trio.
You kind of enjoyed tonight’s episode, didn’t you?
I sure did. As goofy as it all was (and not really representative of the series as a whole) it was huge fun. Some of the great moments were completely random (Applebaum being impressed with Winston’s and Chance’s whistling) and others were brought to us courtesy of Guerrero being Guerrero (stapling the boss’s head). Other things that made this episode fun:
And thank you for that nice — non-flirty! — moment at the end between Chance and Ilsa. Please keep it platonic.
Even though tonight’s episode probably didn’t give you what you expected, did you still have some fun?
It was a fun ep, lots of laughs for me, but still Ames has to go and thank gawd Ilsa was only in it for a small bit. I fear the series has lost it’s first season vibe and may never be back, unless, in the season ender, they kill off both Ames and Ilsa. Now that is my Christmas wish.
