Human Target had the disadvantage that it was the second tough-guy-forced-to-be-Santa of the season. I liked it better the first time.

To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
I'm not liking Human Target as much this season. Don't know why they brought in the annoying women. "New Girl" the computer whiz from that one episode first season might have been good to have around. Mrs. Pucci should have given them money and stayed away. Ames became one of the guys way too fast, and she feels too much like a Parker-wannabe to me.
The holiday episode was meh. I like Guerrero but the actor can't sell the fights.
My biggest problem with Human Target is I don't really like Mark Valley. I like the rest of the cast just fine.
See, I don't mind Mark, but I am in agreement with Zenkitty about the two additional women. I think Mrs. Pucci needs to either been seen less, or become less naïve. I really have a hard time with someone as wealthy as she is, with so many connections and experiences with world leaders being so "clutch the pearls." Get the fuck over it.
The thing about Mark's character though is that they have to tone down the Jack Bauer nature of it. At this point, Mark is one step away from being Superman. He can do anything! It would be nice if they could think about the situation in terms of how to avoid sustained violence instead of releasing hostages (whether it be one of the team, someone the team knows, or a client) through gun/explosion battle.
PSA: the Gunfight Epiphany ringtone on iTunes is *not* the original version. Grrr.
I think the sustained violence may be one of the few reasons I watch Human Target. These guys aren't any more subtle than they absolutely have to be.
Is anyone still watching SOA?
I have 9 eps on the tivo to watch. I need to do a marathon.
There were moments of SOA this last season that I found jaw-dropping, but I didn't like the season as much over all.
It's definitely worth watching, especially the last three episodes.
