\"2010-HumanTarget-Logo-01c\"<\/a><\/span><\/span>
\n When I\u2019m trying to convince a friend, casual acquaintance, or random person with whom I just happen to be chatting to watch Human Target<\/a>, I usually describe it as being similar to those fun summer action movies, but in 45 minutes or so. It is the perfect show to sit down to every week for witty banter, great action scenes, and three great actors who generally look like they\u2019re having a wonderful time making the show.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe basic premise of the show is that the three main characters \u2013 Christopher Chance, Winston, and Guerrero \u2013 run a business with \"Click<\/a>which they provide a rather unique service: Chance acts as a \u2018human target\u2019, so to speak, for clients who need a body guard but for whom the traditional methods would most likely be ineffective. Winston and Guerrero provide an unorthodox support team, as well as bickering constantly \u2013 much to my amusement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nWe are only eight episodes into season 1, which means that it will be easy for you to catch up (if you haven\u2019t already). For those of you who haven\u2019t already watched the show I thought I\u2019d give you a bit of an introduction to the characters and backstory which we\u2019ve gotten so far so that you could watch tonight\u2019s new episode:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nChristopher Chance is played by Mark Valley<\/a>, who you may recognize from his role as John Scott in Fringe<\/strong> (which I also highly<\/em> recommend if you haven\u2019t seen it). Chance is still something of a mystery, even though we\u2019ve started to get some more confirmation on his past. For the first several episodes we knew that Chance had previously worked for a very bad man, and in the episodes Salvage & Reclamation <\/em>and Baptiste<\/em> we got confirmation that he had been an assassin. This revelation explained some of Chance\u2019s more eccentric skill sets, from rudimentary skills in flying a passenger jet, to being able to spout off legal rhetoric at the drop of a hat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Intro<\/a><\/p>\n

Mark Valley as Christopher Chance<\/p>\n

Chance\u2019s old boss took him in when he was young, angry, and alone, and trained him until he was a professional assassin who specialized in hits which were designed to be untraceable. Chance had been brainwashed, to a point, as his boss had convinced him that what they did was justifiable by the fact that the \u2018person on the other side of the gun deserved it\u2019. The turning point came when Chance was sent to kill a young woman named Katherine Walters: Chance fell in love with her and tried to protect her, but she was killed by a man who had been trained by Chance himself. We\u2019re still not entirely sure how Chance went from an assassin to protecting people, but we do know that Winston played a large role.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Intro<\/a><\/p>\n

Chi McBride as Winston<\/p>\n

Winston is played by actor Chi McBride and is, arguably, the one we know the least about aside from the fact that he was a cop for 20 years and helped convince Chance to leave his old job. My guess is that he was still on the police force, or just past retiring, when the case with Katherine came up as she is listed as their first client and Winston seemed to know Chance during the whole debacle. Or perhaps Winston had already started the body guard business and Chance came to him to help protect Katherine. I just hope we find out soon!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Intro<\/a><\/p>\n

Jackie Earle Haley as Guerrero<\/p>\n

Jackie Earle Haley<\/a> plays Guerrero who is also something of an enigma. He is intense and often menacing, yet he delights in endlessly riling up Winston. We recently learned that he worked with Chance during his time as an assassin \u2013 in what capacity, exactly, we still don\u2019t know. It is clear, though, that Guerrero\u2019s loyalty still lies squarely with Chance: apparently he left the group of people with whom they used to work when Chance did, and we have seen him actively protecting Chance. There were people investigating Katherine Walters\u2019 death, and Guerrero killed the man who was sent to contact him when he couldn\u2019t glean any more information from the man. As an aside, Guerrero is making \u201cdude\u201d cool again \u2013 he says it all the time and for some reason it just seems to fit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nEach episode of Human Target<\/strong> is largely a stand-alone episode, but there are certain elements \u2013 usually relating to Chance\u2019s past \u2013 which carry throughout the episodes. One of the benefits of this structure is that we get some wonderful guest stars on the show; one of the downsides to this is that there are some great guest actors who I\u2019d like to see back<\/em> on the show – although the nature of the show certainly doesn\u2019t preclude seeing many of the actors again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Intro<\/a><\/p>\n

Lennie James as Baptiste<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Baptiste, played by Lennie James, is one such actor I fully expect to see again. Thus far we have only met him once and he was arrested at the end of the episode, but I assume that he will escape from custody. The bad blood between Baptiste and Chance stems from the fact that Chance trained Baptiste and then left the fold, and that Baptiste was the one who was sent to kill Katherine after Chance failed. Baptiste revealed that Chance\u2019s old boss treated them both like sons, and that Chance was always the favourite. What intrigues me is that Baptiste commented that Chance hurt their boss by taking \u2018that name\u2019, and I would very much like to know exactly what that means.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Intro<\/a><\/p>\n

Autumn Reeser as Layla<\/p>\n

Autumn Reeser<\/a> plays a young woman named Layla \u2013 a computer expert who may become a regular member of the team. We first met her in the episode Lockdown<\/em> when Chance rescued an engineer named Martin Gleason, played by Kevin Weisman (who, for the record, I would love to see back on the show), from Layla\u2019s company who were holding Martin against his will. The team hired Layla on a freelance basis, which I think means we may end up seeing her again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Intro<\/a><\/p>\n

Emmanuelle Vaugier as FBI Agent Emma Barnes<\/p>\n

My favourite recurring guest star so far is a woman named Emmanuelle Vaugier<\/a>, who plays FBI Agent Emma Barnes. Chance and Barnes first crossed swords in the episode Embassy Row<\/em> when they both ended up running an operation within the Russian Embassy \u2013 and came very close to causing an international incident. Chance left Barnes with no proof that he had ever been there and thus faced a rather ticked off Agent the next time they met. Chance went to Barnes for help after he realized that Baptiste would be targeting a foreign dignitary. Initially reluctant, Barnes agreed to help and was almost killed for her involvement. Chance did<\/em> ask Barnes out on a date, but nothing has happened between the two \u2013 aside from the occasional physical confrontation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nOne thing of which you may not be aware is that Human Target<\/a> is filmed in Vancouver, B.C. As of late, there have been many shows filming here, and one side effect is that one often sees local actors as guest stars on the show. If you are a fan of Stargate<\/a> \u2013 one or all of the three \u2013 be on the watch for familiar faces. To my count, there has been at least<\/em> one Stargate alumnus in each episode \u2013 though there is usually more than one. You can also expect to see familiar faces from Battlestar Galactica<\/strong>, Sanctuary<\/a>, and Fringe<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nSpeaking of Battlestar Galactica<\/strong>, Human Target<\/strong> is scored by Bear McCreary<\/a>, whose work on Battlestar, <\/strong>Caprica<\/a>, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, <\/strong>and now Human Target,<\/strong> I greatly admire. I find that scoring is one of those aspects of shows which people tend to take for granted; however, I find myself noticing the music in <\/strong>Human Target for its complexity and how much it contributes to every scene.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nAn aspect of the show at which I constantly find myself marveling are the fight scenes: I hardly purport to be an expert, but simply in comparison to other television shows the fights are very impressive. I find that the fights look as though they would be more at home in a big budget action movie than what you expect to see in a television show. My favourite fight sequences so far were in Embassy Row<\/em>, when Chance and Barnes were fighting. In each episode you can expect to see a couple extensive fight scenes which are wonderfully choreographed and executed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nI hope that after reading this, you decide to go back and check out the first 8 episodes of the show, but if you only watch one, I would recommend Baptiste<\/em>. Not only was much of it filmed at my school, but it was also the episode in which we got the most concentrated dose so far of Chance\u2019s past. We are always getting hints as to Chance\u2019s extensive skill set, but this was the first time someone talked about what Chance used to be like as a person. Baptiste made several mentions as to how Chance has \u2018lost his edge\u2019 and I think it would be interesting to see flashback episodes to before Chance started working with Winston.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Intro<\/a><\/p>\n

Paradise Lost<\/p>\n

Perhaps it is because I\u2019m so used to writing about Fringe<\/strong>, and thus trying to find the clues which are packed into every episode, but one thing I rather enjoyed was the symbolism in the train station in Baptiste<\/em>, intentional or not: if you look at the wall behind Baptiste and Chance, there is a poster for an exhibit for Milton\u2019s \u201cParadise Lost\u201d. Considering that Chance was a \u2018favoured son\u2019 to his old boss and his confrontations with Baptiste, I find the comparison to fallen angels rather fitting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nMuch as I enjoy the action scenes, great music, and sometimes outlandish locations, what keeps me coming back week after week are the characters. I want to learn about Chance\u2019s past and whether his old boss will find him. I wonder whether Baptiste will return, and I hope that we see Emma Barnes again. I also love the banter between the three main characters, and even though the episodes are fairly serious, I am always<\/em> laughing at some line or moment. I sometimes find that funny moments in serious shows are made even funnier by the juxtaposition of drama with comedy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nHuman Target<\/strong> airs Wednesdays on FOX. Tonight\u2019s episode Corner Man<\/em> will feature Grace Park (Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica) and Peter Wingfield (Stargate SG-1, Sanctuary, Caprica). And in upcoming episode Victoria<\/em>, you can see Josh Blacker (Stargate Universe), Kavan Smith (Stargate Atlantis), Erick Avari (Stargate SG-1), and Chris Heyerdahl (Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Sanctuary). In other words, you can expect even more awesome guest stars in the coming weeks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Check out this video of Mark Valley on “Good Day NY” where he talks about his show. They also show some clips of tonight’s episode:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"WormholeRiders.<\/a>When the show premiered, I certainly was not looking for a new show to watch (given that I already follow far too many) but since I enjoyed Mark Valley\u2019s performance in Fringe<\/strong>, I thought I would give the show a chance. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The pilot certainly delivered, and I was hooked \u2013 as I\u2019m sure you will be! Make sure to check out Human Target<\/strong> Wednesdays on FOX!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
